The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 27 Nothing Lasted Forever

Daphne felt a bit bewildered, her head spinning as the man pulled her up and led her to the side to eat fruit from a platter.

He then took her original seat next to Lysander, maintaining a polite distance from her, neither too close to make her uncomfortable nor too far to hinder conversation.

Back then, her face was slightly round, with big eyes, giving her a very spirited look.

Lysander’s appearance wasn’t stunningly beautiful, but she was pleasing to look at-dignified, gentle, delicate, and graceful.

“It’s about to start, five, four, three, two…”

Lysander held the microphone, following his rhythm, and sang slowly. “I heard that you’re settled down. That you found a girl, and you’re married now..”

Her voice wasn’t as ethereal and sharp as Adele’s, but it had a soothing quality.
