His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 406 Visiting Susan

After Ines left, the house was momentarily engulfed in silence.

Gazing at the table full of food that had already gone cold, Laura let out a sigh. “I’ll go heat up the food.”

Maverick was about to reach for his cigarette again when Lysander grabbed his hand. “Dad, stop smoking

Maverick scoffed, “Guerni Group?“.

A sense of heaviness settled in Lysander’s heart, but she remained silent.

“I was just wondering, who would want to use that remote area in our residential compound? Turns out it was Josiah Lysa, Josiah wants to demolish the place, and he’s relocating us to a place not far from your hospital. Is this because of you?”

Lysander lowered her eyes. “I guess so.”

“Is he still bothering you?”

“He used to.”

“So now, he suddenly stopped the demolition and brought in people from another company. Has he given up, then?”

Lysander recalled their conversation in the hospital stairwell and nodded.

With a flick, the lighter burst into flame..

Before Lysander could intervene, Maverick lit up a cigarette and held it between his lips. “I promise you, this is the last one.”

Laura reheated the food once more, and everyone had a bit to cat.

However, by the end of the meal, not much of the food had been touched.

Laura took her daughter’s hand. “How about this? Let’s not worry about buying a house. The one we’re renting now is quite nice, and it wouldn’t be bad to continue renting. Plus, if we decide not to buy a house, we should receive some compensation, right? Even though it might not be a lot, you can take it for now. When you get married, it can be used to make a down payment with your future husband.”

Maverick remained silent, continually smoking his cigarette.

Laura gave Maverick a meaningful look. “Maverick, say something.”

Maverick sighed. “Your mom does have a point. If it really comes to it, we can just continue renting. It’s not the end of the world.”

At night, Lysander stayed at home.
