Chapter 514 Strike Where It Hurts Most

Aiden, seated in the middle, had just nervously taken a sip of coffee when he nearly choked and coughed Adrian, however, nodded calmly. “Does Lysander know about that?”

Josiah maintained his composure, his eyes narrowed condescendingly. “For now, I’m the only one trying to salvage this relationship. She knows what I want.”

“Which means she hasn’t agreed to getting back together with you, right?” asked Adrian.

Josiah took a sip of his coffee and said quietly, “Yes, for now.”

Adrian scoffed. “That’s what you wanted to tell me? You and I both understand Lysander’s personality well. She’s an assertive person, not someone you can get back together with just because you want to.”

“You don’t have to worry about that, Dr. Sutton. Whether or not Lysander and I get back together is none of your business.”

“But as long as you two aren’t back together, Lysander is technically single, I may not pursue her, but we’re still friends, not to mention colleagues who work well with each other-”

“She and I used to have a child.”

Josiah continued, “We share the pain of losing that child, and that’s something we have in common.”

“So what? Lysander will only resent you for that.”

Josiah smirked. “Even hatred is better than having no feelings at all, Dr. Sutton. At least she harbors some resentment toward me, but as for you, no matter how much effort you put in, you’ll only ever be a colleague to her.”

Aiden didn’t even dare to breathe, anxiously taking another sip of coffee and observing both their reactions without knowing what the coffee tasted like.
