His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 569 Let Me In For The Night

Finished

The hallway had four walls and a ceiling. They were certainly not the streets, but it was genuinely cold in the middle of the night, with nowhere to sit.

He glanced at the securely locked door of his own house and then at Lysander’s door, which was at least still open, hope flickering in his eyes.

After her outburst, Lysander was no longer sleepy. She said rationally, “There’s no point in looking at me. I don’t have the key to your house. Find someone to help. Doesn’t your cook have a key?”

In short, she was implying that he had better not think about clinging to her again.

Josiah hesitantly withdrew his hand from blocking the door and noticed that Lysander did not immediately shut it. He pushed his luck and said, “Martha does have a key, but my phone is locked inside

the house.”

Lysander reached for her phone. “No problem, you can use mine.”

Josiah had a ready excuse. “How could I remember Martha’s number? Besides, it is already past midnight. Even if I did remember, it is inappropriate to wake her up now.”

Lysander knew the best solution but did not want to suggest it herself. Seeing that Josiah did not bring it up, she questioned, “Don’t you have a spare key at home?”

Josiah sighed and replied, “No.”

Lysander responded firmly, “You should have one.”

Josiah shook his head. “I really don’t.”

As he spoke, his face turned slightly pale from the cold draft.

Not one to spare his feelings, Lysander said bluntly, “Josiah, have you heard the story of “The Boy Who Cried Wolf“? You know what happened the last time I let you in when we were in Apex City. Are you trying the same trick again?”

Josiah knew his credibility was shot. More explanations were useless. Rubbing his throbbing temples, he asked, “I really don’t mean any harm. I am still recovering, and I know you’ve been busy. Can you let me in – to talk? 1 am freezing out here.”
