His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 549

Chapter 549 The Story Sounds FamiliarJosiah had recently suffered Maverick’s verbal abuse and took Daphne’s hostility in his stride, not letting it bother him.

“| sec.” Nieva said with a hint of interest while nodding her head. “So, does his securing my investment for you lessen yourdislike for him a little?”

Daphine pouted. “Business is business, but | still strongly disagree with him pursuing Lysander.”“Hmm. Mr. Guerra, did you hear that? You've got a long and difficult task ahead of you!”

Josiah rubbed his temples. “I’m working on it. | know I’ve made mistakes, so | have to correct them. Only by showing others thatI've changed can | gain their acceptance.”

Lysander didn’t have the time to pay him any attention. Instead, she noticed a hint of reluctance in Nieva’s smile.

Hiking would usually allow one to relax and unwind, but compared to before she left, she seemed to have acquired a subtle hintof melancholy.

“Ms. Lionhart,” Lysander carefully began, “Actually, | saw someone at the hotel last night.”“Who is it?”This time, it was Josiah who responded, “Elio.”

The smile on Nieva’s face vanished instantly. She lifted her coffee and took a sip, a bitter taste lingering. “What did he tell you?”she asked.

Lysander’s voice showed a hint of concern. “He said he needed to see you urgently. When he couldn't find you, he left in a hurry.Did he manage to reach you?”

“Yeah.” Nieva put down her cup, then playfully covered Aurora’s ears. Her voice dripped with sarcasm as she said, “He’s the sortwho won’t stop until he gets what he wants. If he traveled all this way to find me, he has to see me no matter what.”

Josiah felt that Elio was like a puzzle he couldn’t solve, probing further, “What exactly did he want from you?”Daphne became increasingly anxious, fearing that the trouble was indeed caused by her contract.

“It's a cause for celebration.” After taking a bite of her dessert, Nieva managed to regain some semblance of a smile. “I reckon I'llbe able to divorce him soon. | won't have to keep up this facade in front of others anymore.”

The surroundings echoed with noticeable gasps, for the news had come to suddenly.

Lysander looked at Nieva with a heavy heart, suspecting that she was merely putting on a brave face.After all, she had truly lived through the same experience in the past.

Lysander looked at Aurora, who was still happily laughing, and was struck by a troubled feeling. “Did he suggest it? Why sosudden?”

Nieva shrugged indifferently. “Yeah, the woman he’s seeing outside is pregnant. He probably wants to make it official with her, sowho knows?”

This story sounded eerily familiar.

No wonder Elio didn’t acknowledge his own daughter. Perhaps, in his eyes, she is merely a byproduct of his climb to the pinnacleof power. As for his real child, it is peacefully growing in the womb of another woman.

Josiah’s brows were tightly knitted, as he was utterly disgusted by Elio’s adulterous behavior. Yet, ironically, he was the leastqualified person there to judge the latter.

Lysander was being more practical. “What are your plans for the future? It’s quite tough to raise a baby on your own.”

“Let's just take it one step at a time,” Nieva said with a resigned smile. “I've had enough anyway. | consider this as my escape.Plus, | have Aurora. It doesn’t matter if her father doesn’t care for her, | will give her double the love. I'll be there for her as shegrows up, giving her the very best the world has to offer.”

Nevia looked incredibly at ease, as if she had truly let go of a heavy burden. Yet her hand remained protectively over Aurora’sear, even if the latter was still too young to comprehend their conversation.

Daphne was filled with righteous indignation. “I despise unfaithful men the most. Elio has treated you and your daughter unjustly.| hope he finds no peace at home with his new love, and may the child not be his!”

Her words were laced with venom, and as she spoke, she kept glancing in Josiah’s direction.Knowing he was in the wrong, Josiah kept his head bowed down.

Nevertheless, Nieva waved her hand dismissively. “It doesn’t matter anymore, as long as he doesn’t show up in front of me everagain.”

She was utterly indifferent to Elio’s future life. Instead, she picked up her phone and hailed a cab.

“But you’ve reminded me of something. Since he already knows about this place, | can’t stay here for long. I'll have to entrustAurora to you next time.”

Nieva began to rise and tidy up. Cradling Aurora in her arms, she looked to be having some difficulty.Lysander quickly offered, “Let me help you.”She efficiently tidied up Aurora’s toys and clothes with Daphne, even remembering to refill the thermos with hot water.

Josiah wasn’t idle either. He handed over the toys and wet wipes he had purchased over the past two days, saying, “Take theseas well. Aurora might need them during the journey.”

“Thanks.” Nieva didn’t stand on ceremony with them, holding her baby as she spoke. “Mr. Guerra, Ms. Thorne, if there evercomes a day when I’m homeless, I'll have to come to your place for a meal.”

Josiah readily agreed, “No problem. You're always welcome.”Balance:

“Every family has its own problems, Ms. Lionhart has already made her choice.” Suddenly, Lysander seemed to see a reflectionof her past self.

Daphne was still upset but soon received a call from the company urging her to return.

Lysander advised her, “You should head back now. Don’t let this get in the way of work.”

Daphne carefully put away the contract, bidding them farewell. She said, “Lysander, take good care of yourself, and I’ll havegood news to share soon!”

Josiah’s attention was entirely focused on Lysander, barely hearing her mumbled words. By the time he wanted to ask her whatshe had muttered, she was nowhere to be seen.

Fortunately, Lysander was able to hear clearly. Ignoring the reluctant tone in Daphne’s voice, she repeate “She said thank you.”This was the same thing Lysander had wanted to say to him.If it hadn’t been for Josiah’s intervention, it wouldn’t have been impossible to get into Nieva’s network.

Josiah replied nonchalantly, “That's the least | can do.”
