The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 436 How Did They End Up Together Again

“I sought out Howard for it.”

Daphne let out a sigh of relief. “I see. I was afraid you had actually given yourself up for me. If that were true, I would’ve been terribly guilty.

“Don’t overthink it. Since you’ve helped me a lot, I’ll definitely help you in overcoming your current predicament.”

Daphne was naturally optimistic, so her spirits didn’t stay low for long. Remembering that she was still on the phone with Lysander, she said, “Lysander, I won’t be able to pay you back anytime soon, but I can at least treat you to a meal. Consider it a token of my appreciation.”

Daphne’s eyes were tinged with redness. Her once plump cheeks had noticeably thinned down from before. Yet, her smile remained as radiant as ever. “Of course, I have to choose a good place to treat you to a meal. Don’t be fooled by the fancy surroundings here. The food is even better. It’s just a shame that I couldn’t secure a private room.”
