Chapter 178 She Has Moved On
“So, what exactly do you want from me? I’m aware that I’ve disappointed you, and I’ve noticed you’vebeen ignoring me these past few days. I’ve been hesitant to say anything, worried that I might furtherupset you. I’ve been walking on eggshells around you…” Lysanne continued, her tone laced withdesperation.
“Is this somehow my fault?” Josiah interjected sharply. “When will you stop using threats of death atevery opportunity? Remember that time in front of that famous restaurant? You pulled Lysander into thestreet, and she ended up covered in bruises while protecting you and your unborn child. And now, afteryour secret has been publicly revealed, you’re thinking of running into the street again? Is there somelaw I’m not aware of that says dying in a traffic accident yields more compensation than jumping off abuilding or hanging yourself? Is that what they teach in those law schools overseas?”
Josiah’s words struck Lysanne like a barrage of fine needles, targeting her most vulnerable spots.
She broke down, tears streaming down her face, “Josiah! You say I’ve changed, but look at you! Youweren’t this harsh before!”
“If we’re discussing aggressive behavior, I must have picked it up from you.”
“Do you hate me that much?”
The man did not respond.
At this, Lysanne continued, “All right, you hate me, but then who is it you do love? Dr. Thorne? You justsaw her, didn’t you? Getting into the passenger seat of another man’s car! She knows exactly what thatimplies. and yet she went ahead and did it!”
“Enough!” Josiah declared, no longer wanting to hear any more. “I went through with the formalities asa sign of respect for your parents. I’m leaving now, do whatever you want.”
“Josiah!” Lysanne called after him in a voice filled with anguish, “Have you fallen in love with her?”
Josiah’s pace faltered for a moment. for a moment.
“And what’s so special about her, anyway? She’s always buried in work, neglecting her home life. Herlooks are average at best, and she’s so cold. Even her family background is nothing to write homeabout. And haven’t you noticed? She’s never truly loved you. Her marriage to you was merely a matterof convenience, nothing more!”
“Shut up!”
“She was just seen in the men’s restroom with that man…
“Did you witness that? What else did you see? You mustn’t speak of this, do you understand? Whoelse was with you?”
Lysanne bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment. “Josiah, wake up! She’s already moved on tosomeonenovelbin

The location Zachary mentioned was an outdoor basketball court.
He parked his car alongside the road. Lysander immediately noticed Calvin, who was clad in a redbasketball jersey, and Michelle, who was laughing cheerily on the sidelines, her expression as radiantas a sunflower,

“I knew she’d be here,” Zachary remarked.
Lysander queried, “Do they frequent this place often?”
Zachary responded with a laugh, “That guy really loves basketball, and he’s actually quite skilled at it.”
Lysander stepped out of the car and made her way into the basketball court, choosing a corner fromwhich to observe quietly.
Although she wasn’t well–versed in basketball, she had to admit, Calvin, who had bowed deeply whenthey first met, seemed quite unassuming. However, when he played basketball, his charm wasundeniable.
Zachary parked the car and joined her side, standing still.
“Back in our student days, we weren’t burdened by so many practical concerns. We didn’t have toworry about housing, cars, or jobs. Sometimes, all it took was a glance, a single phrase, andoccasionally, words weren’t even necessary. Just a silhouette could leave an indelible mark on yourheart for years. Those pure emotions. are truly enviable.”
“Do you envy them?” Lysander asked.
“I truly do envy them, and that’s why I’m eager to help them. The kind of pure happiness I missed outon in my life–it’s not too late for Michelle to experience it. She doesn’t need to be rushed into dealingwith the mundane aspects of life.”
“But life is long, and it’s hard to continue based solely on the fleeting passions of our youth. Sooner orlater, we have to face these worldly concerns.”
“Still, it’s worth cherishing these wonderful feelings. Even if they don’t last forever, at least we will havelived. our youth to the fullest.”
“Love without a resolution can be heart–wrenching.”
Zachary sighed deeply. “But many people never even get the chance to experience such heartbreak.Take you, for example, Lysander. You’ve always been wise beyond your years–mature, composed, andalways poised. But you’re too rational; you’ve never allowed yourself to be swept away by emotions.Even though you’re surrounded by gentle breezes, your heart could still be caught in a tremendouswave…”
“Who said I’ve never been stirred emotionally?”
Zachary appeared taken aback. “You’ve had a crush on someone?”
“I’m not a robot; of course, I’ve liked someone before.”
“Was it… your ex–husband?”
