Chapter 371 Never This Gentle
A faint scent of alcohol still lingered on his hands.
At that moment, Lysander wondered if he was drunk.
He then buried his head in the crook of her neck, his breath gradually growing heavier.
Lysander had a gut feeling that something wasn’t quite right.
Josiah had a decent tolerance for alcohol. Given that he had been in the cabin the whole time, it was unlikely that he would get himself drunk.
Furthermore, Lysanne and that girl were persistently searching for him outside.
Lysander lowered her voice to a whisper and asked, “Did you ingest something?”
Josiah gave a slight shake of his head.
“In that case…”
“I just had a bit of wine. Just a little bit… Josiah said.
The skin op her neck was rather sensitive, and she could feel Josiah’s forehead grow increasingly hot. Moreover, as he spoke, his lips moved, nearly brushing against her collarbone.
Instinctively, Lysander wanted to push him away.
Josiah, however, was one step ahead, gripping her shoulders. “I think I might have been drugged.”
Lysander had also guessed so. His condition, as well as his current state..
“Just a while ago, a woman who bears a striking resemblance to you came looking for me in the cabin. I thought it was you.”
He was talking about the girl outside the cabin.
“It seems like she knows Lysanne,” Lysander said.
“Pfft! It’s more than that,” Josiah sneered.
The volume of his words suddenly escalated, seemingly catching the attention of the two individuals
outside.
At that moment, Lysanne’s voice grew closer and closer. “It seems like there’s some noise coming from this cabin. Did you hear it?”
“It seems so. I heard it as well.”
Lysanne extended her hand, gently pushing the door open.
But in the next moment, Josiah lifted his foot and slammed the door shut with a loud bang.
“I can’t stand straight. Josiah ducked his head again. “I’m not sure what drug it is, but it’s quite potent…“

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....
