Chapter 281 Specific Instructions From Josiah
Zane anxiously said, “What report? There’s none, really.”
“What were you busy with on your phone just now?”
“I was checking the map.”
“Oh, what kind of place has such a long name? You’ve been typing for over ten minutes.”
Zane’s face turned red, and he chuckled wryly. “It’s really nothing. I just came over to greet you guys. We just met and haven’t really spoken much, I don’t want to seem impolite.”
Daphne laughed. “Ha, okay. Nice to meet you.”
Zane breathed a sigh of relief, then turned to Lysander. “Dr. Thorne, hi, have you played pool before?”
Lysander shook her head. “No.”
“Oh, it’s okay. If Yvonne continues to be annoying later, just ignore her. I’ll take you to the bar instead.”
“What can you do there that’s fun?”
“Nothing much, but you can order drinks there.”
Daphne gave him a hard pat. “I understand now. Josiah sent you to be her bodyguard, didn’t he?”
Zane, with a look of disappointment, asked: “Is it that obvious?”
“Of course! You suddenly come over to say hello; anyone who isn’t a fool could guess it, right? I’m not Yvonne, who clearly is an idiot.”
Zane frowned. “I can’t figure it out either. What is she trying to achieve with her actions today?”
“Alright, no need for you to play the bodyguard. Lysander has me. You go and do your own thing.”
“No, no, no, let me do it. You go play with Yvonne. I’m really scared of her now, she just attacks indiscriminately. I can’t afford to provoke her, but I can avoid her.”
Daphne pursed her lips. “You’re abusing your role. Josiah asked you to protect Lysander, but you’re actually just taking it easy. I need to talk to him about this. He’ll deduct half of your salary.”
Just as they were talking, Aiden came over, holding two beers in his hands.
“What are you guys doing? Let’s go have fun.”
Zane shook his head vehemently. “I’m not going. I’m going to have a drink with Dr. Thorne.”

The readers' comments on the novel: The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah)
I cant get over the fact that the writer is trying to show as if the male lead has committed a grave sin. First he didnt know she was pregnant because she never told him. Second right from the start she never communicated anything. She was unbothered even during her marriage. I am not saying the male lead is great but atleast he seems like a human with emotions unlike her. And there is no context for why she is so emotionless....
The female lead is not charming but an unbothered b word, there is a very big difference. There is no point of extending this story at all because even if you write 1000+ chapters at 1001 the male lead would still be doing everything for her and she wouldnt bat an eye even if someone killed him. I mean honestly either the start should have been written better where we do understand that she was deeply affected because of her divorce or just STOPPPPP. Even for fiction it is annoying....
