The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 444 Did He Just Kiss Your Neck

Josiah waited silently for her to continue.

“The situation hasn’t gotten so bad that we need to

make him disappear.” Lysander analyzed their situation clearly: “The thief broke in to steal and then tried to assault me. Both are undeniable crimes, and he will surely go to jail, but he doesn’t deserve to die.”

Josiah grabbed her, frowning. “Where are you going?”

“My phone is in the living room. I need to call the police.”

Seeing that Josiah still didn’t let her go, she added, “You acted in self–defense to protect me. Even if he is dead, it would be considered justifiable. I’m not trying to get you arrested. I’m not that heartless.”

Josiah snorted. “That’s debatable.”

Lysander didn’t want to argue with him right now and said, “Sexual assault is a violent crime. When the police arrive, I’ll explain everything clearly.”

Josiah’s smile vanished completely. “You still won’t listen to me.”

Lysander remained silent, confirming his words.

“Is this really the time to bring that up? The guy outside could still be saved, but if we delay any longer, he might not be.”

“I just feel like I’ve failed,” Josiah said. “You’re very independent and strong–willed, but you’ve built a high. wall around your heart. You don’t come out, and no one can get in. I can’t get in, and neither can Adrian.”
