The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 316
Chapter 316 Birthday Party
Daphne’s father’s birthday party was scheduled for Saturday.
Lysander made a point to arrive a bit earlier than planned. The Everhart family’s servants were bustling with activity.
Daphne had changed into a purple dress, with her hair and makeup meticulously done, though she seemed listless and low on energy.
Seeing Lysander, Daphne perked up a bit. “Lysander, over here.”
Lysander walked over and handed her a gift box.
There was no need for excessive formalities between them. Daphne accepted it directly. “Wow, a Tudor watch? You really splurged.”
Lysander smiled. “It’s only fitting. By the way, you look a bit off. Didn’t sleep well?”
“Don’t get me started.” Daphne pointed at her purple dress. “See this?”
“Looks pretty good. Is it a new purchase?”
Daphne rolled her eyes. “That’s not the point, okay?”
“Then what’s the point?”
“My dad set me up! I was wondering before, isn’t sixty considered young for people nowadays? Why did he hold a birthday party? He’s not eighty or ninety. My dad exercises every day and runs fast than
me.”
“So what is the real reason for Mr. Everhart to hold a birthday party?”
Daphne looked like she was about to cry. “You guessed it, right?”
Lysander nodded, patting her hair in consolation. “Older folks tend to be traditional.”
“Ah…” Daphne sighed twice, then suddenly thought of something. “By the way, my dad said he invite Josiah, but he said he was injured and sent a gift instead. When did he get injured? What happened?”
Lysander awkwardly chuckled. “I don’t know.”
“He didn’t contact you?”

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....
