The Charming Ex-Wife

“What’s going on? Is it really that serious?” Lysander inquired, noticing the concern etched deeply on Laura’s face.

Laura began, “When your father and I returned a short while ago, we found a notice from the local authorities downstairs. It mentioned that our building is scheduled for demolition.”

Surprised by the news, Lysander questioned, “When did they announce this?”

“They’re urging everyone to move out before Independence Day.”

Realizing it was already July, Lysander calculated the short time frame left, barely over two months until the deadline in October.

“So suddenly? Wasn’t there any warning beforehand?” Lysander pressed further.

Maverick interjected, “There had been some whispers about it, but your mother and I didn’t really believe them. Our apartment is a government–subsidized unit given by my workplace. We figured if it really came to demolition, the compensation wouldn’t be substantial…”

Understanding the situation, Lysander remained composed and offered a solution, “Well, since I’m still on break, I’ll start looking for a rental for us.”

Laura responded with a wry smile, “Finding a rental is one thing, but what about you and your sister? We’ve always been hardworking, hoping that selling this house would someday help support you financially, but now that’s not going to happen…”

“Don’t worry about it,” Lysander reassured her, “I’ll just need to save a little longer before I can afford a house.. And as for Michelle, she’s only just started university. Who knows? Maybe she’ll be successful enough in the future to buy her own house and car.”
