The Charming Ex-Wife

Chapter 688 Coming After Me

His gaze fell upon the several cars haphazardly parked in the middle of the village road.

This was the only slightly flat main road around here. When Josiah first came to this place, he was considerate enough to park his car at the entrance of the village, where it wouldn’t cause any inconvenience. However, the owners of the cars currently parked here evidently hadn’t given it much thought.

After clearly seeing the haphazardly parked cars that nearly blocked the entire road, Lysander had no choice but to park Josiah’s car a bit further from the original spot. “There’s no other way,” she said. “If we parked at the original spot, it would cause trouble for the villagers coming in and out. Let’s leave it like this for now.

“Maybe veer off a bit, one of the owners of the cars here are specifically coming for me.” Josiah squinted, his

eyes flickering with a hint of danger.

A name flashed through Lysander’s mind, causing her to draw in a sharp breath. “Dillon? He arrived so quickly?” she exclaimed.

Although there had been no updates from the police yet, all the current signs pointed to one conclusion, they were undeniably connected to the body found in the pond.

Dillon rushed over at such a critical moment, it was clear that he had already received the unfortunate news of his subordinate encountering Josiah here.

Lysander recalled something that she had temporarily put to the back of her mind due to the aftermath of the crisis. “There’s something I need to tell you about the night you were fighting with the thugs…”

She shared with him that she had called Tiffany.

Josiah asked, “Did you call Tiffany just to save me?”

SURFA

His question was rather blunt, but he no longer had the luxury of being subtle or waiting for her to understand on her own. All he needed now was an answer.

Perhaps Lysander wasn’t as repulsed by himself as he had initially thought.

“Of course,” Lysander replied, “You were in imminent danger, and I’m pretty sure those people are related to the Lanister family. Who else could I have called if not Tiffany? I actually wanted to warn Dillon not to mess with me, but I didn’t have his phone number.”

With great effort, Josiah managed to suppress the urge to show his excitement in front of Lysander. However, the tumultuous emotions within him remained undiminished. Unable to entirely contain his joy, the corners of his lips twitched upwards as he said, “All right, I understand.”
