The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 318
Chapter 318 Trouble Comes
Howard smiled and tried to smooth things over. “Okay, let the kids have eir conversation in peace. With us here, they can’t chat freely. Shall I take you to see Rufus?”
Molly snapped back to reality. “Sure. Lysander, you go ahead and chat. I’ll go with your dad… I mean,- Mr. Thorne.”
Lysander’s heart skipped a beat.
Thankfully, Molly corrected herself in time, the word “dad” just a slip of her lips without sound.
“Okay.”
Watching Howard wheel Molly away, Josiah asked suspiciously, “Did they seek you out before?”
“Yeah.”
“What did they say to you?”
Lysander took a sip of her orange juice and said, “You can probably guess what they said, so why are you asking me?”
Josiah’s voice carried a hint of coldness. “Don’t mind them. Lysanne is their only daughter, and they’ve spoiled her rotten. Whatever they say, just tutn a deaf ear to it. If they ask you out, call me, and I’ll handle it.”
“No need,” Lysander said. “I’m leaving the country soon, so I won’t be in contact with them.”
Josiah’s expression faltered for a moment. “You…”
Lysander immediately took a step back, eyeing him warily.
Josiah laughed helplessly. “Are you that afraid of me?”
“I’m just defending myself.”
Josiah was speechless.
“Did you enjoy your time with the skeleton in the anatomical laboratory last time?”
Josiah’s grip on his glass tightened. His voice was low as he asked back, “What do you think?”
“You must’ve had a great time. I heard from Lynn that the skeletons hadn’t been moved and were still dusty. Looks like you treated them with respect.”
Josiah glared at her. “Don’t pull stunts like that again. It’s bad for both of us.”
“What does it have to do with me?”

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....
