The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 443

Chapter 443 Gentleness Alone Cannot Keep a Woman

The outside of the clothing was soaked with rain, but the inside was still dry, offering a bit of warmth when draped over Lysander’s shoulders,

Lysander instinctively clutched the collar tightly, covering her exposed skin before taking in the current state of the house.

The window had been shattered, leaving a gaping hole. Not only was the glass broken, but the wooden frame itself had split down the middle. The curtains flapped wildly in the wind.

With no window as a barrier, a lot of rainwater had entered the house, mingling with shards of glass and splintered wood scattered all over the floor, along with streaks of blood. The room, already in disarray due to the fight, closely resembled a murder scene.

“Josiah, are you okay?” Lysander asked.

Josiah cast a cold glance at her. “If I had killed him today, would you have called the police on me?”

Lysander remained silent.

“Will you, or will you not?”

“I will.”

“Heh, as expected. Dr. Thorne is indeed a law–abiding citizen.“

“But I would have explained to the police that you did it for me…”

Josiah exhaled heavily, leaning against the wall and sliding down slowly. There was a mix of self–mockery and amusement in his voice as he said, “Dr. Thorne, you and I share no blood or bond. Do you really think the police would believe that I killed someone for you?”

“We’re not completely unrelated.”

Josiah raised an eyebrow, looking at her.

“You’re my ex–husband.”

Josiah rolled his eyes, as if he had expected nothing good to come out of Lysander’s mouth.

He nudged the man lying on the ground with his foot.

There was absolutely no response.

The living room had transformed from a scene of utter chaos to complete silence. Lysander hesitated before speaking. “Did you hear me screaming for help earlier?”

Josiah replied irritably, “No.”

Lysander was speechless.
