Chapter 609 Do You Need Me

Finished.

Lysander felt a wave of dizziness and, with a heart full of unease, she asked Laura, “Mom, has something- happened to Dad recently?”

Laura replied confusedly, “No, nothing’s wrong.”

Lysander asked again, “Don’t you think Dad has been acting strange lately?”

Recently, Laura had devoted most of her attention to taking care of Michelle. Hearing Lysander’s words, she paused and said. “Now that you mention it, I guess he does seem strange. This afternoon, when I found out that Josiah was coming with you, I was genuinely worried that your dad might cause a scene again. I even warned him a few times in case, but I didn’t expect him to be so composed.”

“It’s n

more than just that,” Michelle interjected impatiently. “In the past, Dad wouldn’t speak to Josiah, let alone give him a second glance. But just now, he was treating Josiah like a proper son–in–law.”

As Lysander listened to their conversation, her heart grew increasingly restless.

After some thought, Laura said comfortingly, “You’ve always been one to overthink, but I wouldn’t say that’s a bad thing. Perhaps your father was impressed by Josiah’s good behavior and is showing his approval. Besides, as long as you don’t accept him, our opinions won’t make a difference. Ultimately, the decision lies with you, Lysander.”

Lysander didn’t want Laura and Michelle to worry alongside her, so she suppressed her unease.

“Okay”

Only a few people lived year–round in the Thorne manor, so there was never a shortage of rooms. That night, Maverick and Laura shared a guest room, while Lysander and Michelle each occupied a room.

The rooms were not only tidied up well but also fully equipped with all the living essentials.

As promised, Howard truly cared for Michelle as if she were his daughter.

Seeing her parents and sister comfortably settled in, Lysander felt more at ease than if she were in

comfort.

She had been worried earlier that Maverick and Laura might be uneasy, even planning to sit them down and have a chat. However, as soon as Maverick returned to his room, he started complaining about being. extremely tired and wanting to sleep.
