His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 510 Sparks

“Indeed, nothing escapes your keen eyes, Josiah,” Aiden flattered before asking sheepishly, “Whose child is

this?”

Josiah explained to Aiden what happened before his arrival. The Lionharts‘ granddaughter. Nieva is going hiking, so she entrusted her daughter in our care for a couple of days.”

Aiden visibly relaxed. His tense back, which was pressed up against the back of the chair, eased. He let out a relieved chuckle and said, “I remember now. So she’s Nieva’s child, huh? I was wondering why she seemed somewhat familiar. Her eyes don’t look like Nieva’s, though.”

Aiden’s mood lightened after he found out about the child’s identity. Making faces to cheer the baby up, he said, “Josiah, I’ve heard that Nieva isn’t much involved in the family business lately. Is your meeting with her this time about something serious?”

phone suddenly started ringing, and he said apologetically. “Excuse me, I need to take this.”

With that, he pressed the answer key without a second thought, pressing the phone against his ear. Then, a visible change overtook his expression.

Josiah turned to look at Aiden solemnly.

Aiden, who had just relaxed a few minutes ago, became tense again. He tightened his grip on the phone as if he was afraid that others might overhear what the caller said.

After a moment of silence, Aiden spoke up, but his words were succinct. “Okay, I understand.”

He even stopped responding with words after that, humming and grunting in response.

Josiah wasn’t the only one surprised. His unusual behavior even caught the attention of Lysander, who was engrossed in perusing documents. She lifted her head to look in his direction, curious.

Aurora, the baby, who was gurgling incoherently, looked at the strange newcomer curiously as well.

Aiden lowered his voice to a whisper, making it hard for the caller to hear him. “I’m at a holiday resort
