His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 474 The First To Give In Upon seeing the situation, Tiffany let out a long sigh. “Jose, it's been many years, yet she remains your favorite person." With a softer tone, Josiah explained, "There's nothing between her andanymore, and there won't be in the future. I've told you this many times before." "But she still holds a place in your heart." Tiffany was certain of this. "However... it's only natural that you can't let go of Lyss." Josiah furrowed his brows. "What?" Tiffany replied earnestly, "Lyss is so kind and perfect, so it's only natural for you to like her. Don't deceive yourself anymore. If you truly like her, go and reconcile with her. Just make sure it doesn't interfere with your collaboration with my father." The more Josiah listened, the deeper his frown became. He really had no experience in appeasing children.

"Tiffany, we agreed on this before." bgive up "Yes, we agreed we would announce our engagement to the world, to make Lyss and stop bothering you. But what I don't understand is that you say you don't care about her, yet you still dream of her. So, am I here to separate you two or to rekindle your love?" "Tiffany, you've really misunderstood..." "Jose, you two are so much older than me. When you first fell for Lyss, I was just a kid trailing behind you, engrossed in watching The Powerpuff Girls. On the day of my birthday party, Lyss claimed she was helpingto network. I did as you advised, mentioning our arranged marriage as much as possible in her presence. I could tell... she was holding back, but she was genuinely upset." There was an age difference of eight years between them.

Moreover, Tiffany had been overly sheltered by her family since childhood. She had attended an all-girls boarding school abroad, which had limited her social circle. This contributed to her current naive and innocent personality, to the extent that her emotional age seemed even younger than her actual age.

Faced with a young woman who still seemed like a child, Josiah, despite his urgency, could only force himself to be as gentle as possible. He suggested, "Tiffany, how about this? Let's end our agreement. Once we return, I'll clarify things with your father. You won't have to pretend to be my fiancée anymore, and I'll handle the situation with Lysanne myself." Biting her lip, Tiffany's eyes still held a touch of confusion and bewilderment. "Jose, I truly don't understand what you wantto do." "Starting from today, you don't have to do anything anymore; just consider this as a leisurely vacation since you don't cback to the country often. There are many historical sites in Apex City worth visiting. I'll arrange for someone to accompany you for a few days, and once the summit is over, we can head back together. Then, I'll have a chat with your father." "Jose 591% Chapter 474 The First To Give In "You have someone you like," Tiffany stated. "But it's not Lyss, is it?" Hearing her speak so candidly, there was a sense of exhilaration in Josiah's heart. He nodded. “Yes." "I get it now," Tiffany said. "So, you wantedto declare myself a make the woman you're fond of jealous, didn't you?" your fiancée to deter Lyss and also to "Yes to the former, but for the latter..." Josiah shook his head and chuckled before continuing, "She doesn't. get jealous." Jose, have I met her before?" "Hmm?" "You wanted her to be jealous, but for that, she needed to see us together, right? I'm trying to recall all the people we've met when we were together, but we met so many people at the birthday party that I really can't remember who she could be..." Josiah gave a light chuckle. "Are you really that curious?" "Of course! I'd love to meet the woman who could make you choose her over Lyss." Josiah was quite amused, a smile playing on his lips. "Fine. When the opportunity arises, I'll reintroduce you." "All right, when exactly would that be? I'm heading back overseas next month. Will there be enough tfor us to meet?" Josiah ruffled her bangs. "Always so curious, aren't you, kid?" Tiffany hastily protected her hairstyle. “Jose, I'm already an adult! Stop treatinglike a child." "You know, you're still far from being all grown up. Your dad was worried sick when he spoke toabout you previously. He's terrified that you'll be deceived by sbad boys abroad. It's to the point that he wants to assign a few bodyguards to accompany you when you return overseas, yet he's also afraid that their presence might interfere with your normal dating life and cause you to miss out on your best years. In short, he's caught in a dilemma." Tiffany pouted. "Jose, don't try to change the subject. When are you going to introduceto the woman who has stolen your heart?" While she spoke, she playfully pointed at the location of his heart and winked at him, a teasing irnile on her face. Josiah couldn't help but chuckle. "I'll try my best to win her over before you leave." "Oh, so it's not settled yet? Jose, when did you becso impotent?" Josiah feigned anger, admonishing her, "Don't speak nonsense "What nonsense did I say?" Tiffany wore an innocent expression.

Tosiah couldn't help but feel a bit guilty.

Chapter 474 The First To Give In Tiffany was just a young woman who had never even experienced a relationship before. There was no way she would think to link that word to its other meaning.

"Anyway, if you're not feeling well, rest up early. I'm leaving now." Tiffany asked, "Where are you going?" "To find a place to sleep." "But I've already given my original room to Lysa, and there are no other rooms available in the hotel." Josiah said, "It's okay, you don't need to worry about me." In reality, Lysander wasn't particularly fussy about where she slept.

Eyen when working the night shift in the office, she could catch a quick nap on a random cot.

However, possibly due to her illness, she felt generally unwell, tossing and turning without being able to fall asleep.

In a state of half sleep, half wakefulness, she heard the buzzing of her phone.

Who could be calling in the middle of the night? Reluctantly, Lysander stretched out her hand from under the blanket and took a glance.

The fire within her heart crackled and roared intensely.

She immediately rejected the call with a swift motion.

Yet, the other person was relentless, calling again.

Lysander immediately turned off her phone and tossed it aside.

Finally, it was quiet.

But now, sleep was completely out of the question.

Lysander, in a fit of anger, pounded her fist heavily onto the bedspread.

Riting! The landline on the bedside table began ringing.

Without even opening her eyes, she reached out, placed the handset next to her ear, and said, "Hello?" "Lysander, it's me."

Him again? He failed to reachthrough my phone, so he headedn straight to the front desk to make a landline call? Lysander's anger flared up instantly. "Wh girlfriend her sanitary pads!"/ "Are you feeling better now?" on earth are you trying to do? I've already given your 3/4 on luna Chapter 474 The First To Give In 91%8

For a moment, Lysander didn't respond. Eventually, she asked flatly, "Do you have any idea what tit is now, Josiah?" "Open the door. I'll have a look at you," he said.

"No need." "Your voice still sounds a bit hoarse. Have you taken your medicine?" "Yes. I'm hanging up." "I'm on my way now, so open the door forlater," he said.

Lysander hung up the phone.

After sthought, she picked up the handset and set it aside.

This way, he could no longer call her.

With that done, Lysander burrowed under the blanket and forced herself to sleep.

Roughly five or six minutes passed when the doorbell rang.

Lysander decided to play dead.

She didn't believe he could stay out there all night, pressing the doorbell, so it would simply be a matter of who would be the first to give in.
