His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 531 Josiah In Danger

If that ruckus continued, more than half of the hotel’s guests would come out to see what was happening

Lysander steeled herself and said, “I’ll take him next door and explain things properly.”

Josiah stopped her. “Let me go instead. You take care of Aurora.”

With the both of them by Aurora’s side and after a peaceful sleep the night before, there was no immediate sign of her impending wailing. Aurora was still opening its mouth in a blissful, silly grin.

Then, she turned to Josiah and articulated clearly, “Daddy.”

Lysander felt a chill run through her scalp. If my father hears this… Josiah is in danger.

Josiah, on the other hand, was quite all right. He gently teased Aurora by poking her cheek with a light laugh.

Lysander held Aurora tightly, continually comforting the latter. At the same time, she got up from the edge of the bed and moved to stand in front of the table.

Josiah hastily tidied himself up, striding quickly to open the door. He was greeted by the sight of Maverick’s red, angry face. He greeted politely, “Mr. Thorne-

Maverick wore a stern expression. “Where’s Lysa?”

Josiah swiftly stepped aside, allowing Maverick to see Lysander,

Lysander braced herself before greeting Maverick. “Dad, what brings you here?”

Lysander had slept fully clothed last night, so all she needed to do was to tidy up her hair a bit. However, the signs that someone had slept in the bed could not be erased in such a short span of time.

Also, she was holding a baby in her arms, and there were baby supplies scattered on the couch and coffee table. The scene appeared quite chaotic.

Maverick’s hand, poised to knock on the door, froze mid–air. In an instant, his pupils constricted sharply. He was so shocked that he was rendered speechless..

The surrounding staff remained as quiet as a mouse, not even daring to breathe.

Josiah ordered, “Everyone, return to work.”

All the staff immediately scattered.

The area in front of the room was eerily silent.

Lysander felt a storm brewing, stepping forward to explain. “Dad, let’s talk inside. Things aren’t as you think-”

Before she could finish speaking, Maverick raised his hand, which was previously suspended in mid–air, and threw a fierce punch toward Josiah.

Josiah had mentally prepared himself beforehand. He didn’t dodge or hide. Instead, he took the punch
