The Charming Ex–Wife

Chapter 499 I Rejected Him

During the evening, there were hardly any people in the garden. Such a situation couldn’t simply be explained away as a mere coincidence.

Amelia blinked, twirling a strand of hair, she said, “You’re Lysander, right? Don’t get me wrong. I’m not referring to the one who’s still hung up on Mr. Guerra.”

It seemed she knew quite a bit about Josiah.

Lysander admitted. “Did you need something from me?”

“It wasn’t anything significant. I just didn’t expect to run into you here, so I couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.” Amelia spoke with a laugh in her voice, her tone surprisingly not off–putting

She went straight to the greenhouse, found a rocking chair, sat down, and asked, “You have something to say, just spit it out. We met at the karaoke lounge last time. Your name is Amelia Scott, right?”
