Chapter 451 Cold Blood

Lysander blinked subtly, her lashes perfectly concealing the emotions in her eyes. “It seems you still don’t understand,” she said. “I thought this concept was straightforward enough for you to grasp.”

Josiah’s heart clenched. “How should I interpret this?”

“I was in pain, simply because I was betrayed by someone I had always trusted,” Lysander explained, fearing he might not understand. She even gave him an example, “What would you do if Ms. Collins betrayed Guerra Group’s business secrets?”

Josiah was instantly filled with rage. “How can these issues be lumped together?”

“The feelings were actually the same.”

Josiah’s eyes were rimmed with red, his frustration making him look more like he’d been hit where it hurt. “Do you truly not understand, Lysander?” he asked again. “If it was not me but another man, just as gentle and considerate, who married you back then, would you be intimate with him?”

Lysander furrowed her brows. “Isn’t marital intimacy part of the marital obligations?”

Josiah laughed. “Obligation?”

“Since I was married, and I was quite content with my marital status at the time, so naturally, I was willing to maintain that marriage relationship.”

Under the moonlight, her exquisite features appeared particularly aloof.

Josiah tried to keep his emotions in check, but his gaze turned especially icy. Unable to suppress the resentment welling up within him any longer, he spat out, “Lysander, has anyone ever told you that you’re nothing but a cold–blooded creature?”

“You”

Unexpectedly, Josiah couldn’t hold back any longer. He gazed deeply at Lysander, his eyes filled with complex emotions. His thin lips, previously held tight, began to quiver as if he had more to say.

Lysander patiently waited for him to speak.
