His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 171 I Thought You Understood

“The reason I got engaged to Lysanne was because-”

“I don’t care about your reasons; they have nothing to do with me.”

Josiah gazed at her intently. “Am I really so unforgivable? Can’t we even have a proper conversation?”

“Is this how someone who wants to talk properly should be acting?”

Lysander glanced at the hand that was gripping her shoulder.

Due to his excessive force, his knuckles were turning pale, and her clothes had been crumpled into amess.

Josiah’s eyes flickered as he slowly released his grip.

Lysander moved her throbbing shoulder and sighed. “Josiah, I made it clear over the phone last time. Ifour relationship was merely about having a companion, then I’d step aside without a fuss when yourbeloved returns. After all, we didn’t marry out of love; we just wanted companionship. Since you’vefound someone else, there’s nothing more for me to say. So what are you doing now?”

With his head hung low, Josiah let out a bitter laugh. “I thought you understood.”

“What should I understand? Is it the same old line, you feel guilty and want to make it up to me?”

“Lysander, are you deliberately misinterpreting my words?”

“So what? Lysanne left for overseas and married someone else, and you settled for me as yourrebound. Now that you and Lysanne are having an argument, you want to come back to me again? Do

you think I’m out of my mind? Or is it that Lysanne can’t have children, so you want me to be yoursurrogate?”

Josiah growled, “No, no! Lysander, our time together over these past three years wasn’t a lie. I’mhuman too; I have feelings! I’m not an unfeeling block of wood!”

Lysander looked at him, a sarcastic laugh escaping her lips. “Oh, how could I forget? You, Mr. Guerra,are quite the charmer yourself. You don’t need to use those words to wound me. I haven’t been faringmuch better than you since we lost our child. During that time, I would have nightmares every night. Idreamt of you standing before me, covered in blood, crying and accusing me of killing our child…”

The term “child” was like a thorn in Lysander’s heart.

Subconsciously, she turned her face away, unwilling to listen any further.novelbin

Yet, Josiah’s voice followed her like a shadow. “Lysander, no one could have foreseen how things haveunfolded. I never imagined that the lively and adorable Lysanne from our childhood would turn out thisway. Even more surprising is that you were pregnant at this crucial time. You can blame me, hit me, yellat me, but you can’t deny me the chance to defend myself”

“All right then, I’ll give you the opportunity. Is there anything else you want to say? Try to get it all out atonce, but please keep it brief. I have other matters to attend to.”

“I’m aware that today is the birthday of that man’s mother.”

Lysander lifted her head, meeting his gaze. “What else do you know?”

“I also know that you don’t like him.”

Lysander laughed. “Perhaps I’m just not naturally inclined toward romance. I’ve never liked anyone!“Then why did you do that with him?” The mere mention of the earlier incident had him seething withanger. “We’ve been married for three years, yet you’ve never done anything like that for me… Seeingyou kneel in front of him like that earlier… It was really hard for me.”

Lysander retorted, “What, is Lysanne not willing?”

Josiah frowned and said, “Can we not mention her?”

“Mr. Guerra, if this situation is causing you distress, there’s really no need. First off, if you and Lysanneare having intimacy issues, I would suggest you both communicate to resolve them. If that provesdifficult, you could always turn to books, or perhaps watch some videos. And if all else fails, you couldseek advice from your mutual friend, Aiden. He’s likely quite experienced and could provide hands–onguidance. There are many ways to overcome this; there’s no need to constantly think about changingpartners. Secondly-”

She scoffed before continuing, “Our three years of marriage weren’t exactly harmonious, so there’s noneed to dwell on it so much.”
