The Charming Ex-Wife (Lysander and Josiah) novel Chapter 397
Chapter 397 With Or Without You
Josiah clearly saw it, yet there was no change in his expression. It was as if he hadn’t seen the messages at all. His gaze directly shifted toward the distant window.
“The wind’s strong in the mountains. Let me close it for you.
As he spoke, he moved across the room and gently closed the window.
Coincidentally, Lysander’s phone rang.
With a light chuckle, Josiah asked her. “Do you need me to step aside?”
Lysander picked up her phone and glanced at it. “That shouldn’t be necessary.”
Josiah gave a slight nod, taking a seat on the couch.
Meanwhile, Lysander simply pressed the speakerphone button.
“Dr. Thorne…”
When Josiah heard the voice, a frown formed on his forehead.
Lysander responded, “Ms. Lysanne, what brings you to call me?”
Lysanne seemed somewhat lacking in confidence. “I heard you stayed up with Mom all night. You must be tired. Thank you.
Lysander didn’t say anything in response.
“Dr. Thome?”
“Speak your mind directly. I don’t have time for your roundabout flattery.”
Lysanne was taken aback for a moment, then forced a chuckle. “All right. I’ll get straight to the point, then.”
“Hurry up.”
“Dad and Mom have already accepted you. Does this mean you’ll be moving back to the Thorne manor in
the future?”
Lysander was growing increasingly agitated. “What exactly are you trying to say?”
“I’m not going to fight with you over the Thorne family, and you shouldn’t fight with me over Josiah. Let’s each take a step back. What do you think?”
“Nothing”
Lysanne was slightly irritated. “Do you really expect to have it all?”
“Firstly, by bloodline, I am the rightful heiress. The Thorne manor is always meant to be mine. What grounds do you have to challenge this?”

Lysanne took a deep breath. “I understand Mom and Dad are begging for your forgiveness right now, pleading for you to acknowledge them. No matter what you say, they’ll agree. But you’re just a medical student. Do you understand how to run a business? Do you know anything about the industry? If you take over the Thorne family’s business, aren’t you afraid of squandering everything Mom and Dad have worked for their entire lives?”
“So, it’s not okay for me, a medical student, but it’s fine for you, a law student?”
“So, it’s okay for you to seek out Josiah, but I can’t?”

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....
