Chapter 569 Let Me In For The Night

Finished

Lysander reached for her phone. “No problem, you can use mine.”

Josiah had a ready excuse. “How could I remember Martha’s number? Besides, it is already past midnight. Even if I did remember, it is inappropriate to wake her up now.”

Lysander knew the best solution but did not want to suggest it herself. Seeing that Josiah did not bring it up, she questioned, “Don’t you have a spare key at home?”

Josiah sighed and replied, “No.”

Lysander responded firmly, “You should have one.”

Josiah shook his head. “I really don’t.”
