The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 466 All My Efforts Meant Nothing To You

Tiffany felt a pang of disappointment, but she had always admired Josiah. Seeing that he was encouraging her to go, she believed he must have had his reasons. She promptly nodded. “Josiah, in that case, please enjoy yourselves. I’ll be going now.”

“Alright.”

Tiffany and Adrian returned together to Lysander’s home.

Adrian treated her like a little sister, offering a few words of comfort.

Once they left, Lysander and Josiah were the only ones remaining in the room, silently facing each other.

The seafood delivery had already been ordered, but it was certain that there would be a bit of a wait before it arrived.

Lysander knew that Adrian had deliberately led Tiffany away to give her and Josiah some privacy, intending for her to clear things up with Josiah. However, it clearly wasn’t the right time.

Right now, Josiah was just like a time bomb, and she had no intention of engaging with him.

After waiting for a while, Josiah, for reasons unknown, suddenly walked away in a huff. He returned to the couch he had been sitting on earlier.

Lysander could tell that his grievance was genuine and couldn’t help but respond sarcastically, “You deliberately left the relocation project and let a new company take over, knowing full well that my family couldn’t afford the cost. You even had the new company’s manager come to our house to discuss it. Isn’t it clear that you’re trying to distance yourself from me? Moreover, you’re already engaged. What business is it of mine to go ask my ex–husband for money? If my father hadn’t been tricked by Zachary into borrowing money from a loan shark, I wouldn’t have even bothered to call you last night.”

I indeed intended to put you in a difficult position,” Josiah confessed. “Lysander, I’m somewhat at a loss. I’m willing to make every effort
