The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 23 I Want to Burn It

Lysanne finally understood why Josiah had been acting so strangely today.

She softened her voice as she said, “But you love me, don’t you? We are going to get married in the future. The existence of that child will only disturb our happy life. If you want a child, it’s simple, right? We will have children in the future, too. Moreover, the child in my belly will also be yours.

Daphne felt uncomfortable watching. She turned her face away and secretly wiped away tears.

“Harper,” Lysander called out.

Daphne immediately wiped away her tears and turned back as if nothing had happened. “What’s up?”
