His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 748 Are We Still Friends "On the eve of the Spring Festival, the convention center is bustling like a rush for performance targets, hosting several events simultaneously. Apart from the medical seminar, there are other activities upstairs, including a children's book exhibition that might interest a child. I could take Aurora there for sartistic exposure." He had already taken care of all the possible concerns that Lysander might have had.

A wave of warmth surged in Lysander's heart, and she didn't refuse any further.

The exhibition center wasn't too far from the hotel, but Josiah still chose to drive. "We don't know when we'll be back from this trip. It's better to be prepared with more of the baby's necessities. It's more convenient to have them in the car, and certainly easier than trying to buy them on the spot," he reasoned.

As he spoke, his gaze would occasionally wander toward the pedestrians on the sidewalk, searching for Adrian's figure.

Adrian had pointed out the direction of the exhibition center to them the night before. Knowing his personality, he would most likely choose to walk there.

Josiah believed he had successfully concealed his jealousy in front of Lysander. By the tthey reached the exhibition center, he acted as if nothing was amiss. He even pushed the stroller alongside her into the main forum of the seminar.

It wasn't uncommon to see partners accompanying each other to the forum, but bringing a child, especially one so young, was indeed a rare sight.

Sattendees spotted a baby in a stroller and initially assumed that their mother must have been unable to find a babysitter, thus bringing the baby along. However, when they got a clear look at the person pushing the stroller, they were nearly taken aback.

Josiah, for his part, didn't seem to mind at all, carrying himself much like a doting father.

Lysander noticed that Aurora was quietly following him around. After doing a quick survey of the area, she turned to Josiah and said, "There's a lecture going on in the multimedia hall inside. I'd like to listen in for a bit. If you need me, just senda message." "Hold on a moment," Josiah pulled out his phone and asked, "Can we reconnect on WhatsApp? It's much faster than texting." Back when they divorced, Lysander was genuinely disheartened and devastated. She completely erased his contact information, leaving no trace. It was only later, due to certain inconveniences, that she reluctantly saved his phone number again.

Lysander was eager to chat with the experts who had cto attend the medical seminar this time. As soon as Josiah finished scanning her QR code, she hurried off, not noticing the difference in his Whataccount from before.

Josiah had always been indifferent toward these matters, treating his social media account settings as if they were managed by a robot. However, at this moment, he quietly changed his profile picture.

The avatar of Lysander was always quite simple, featuring a crescent moon hanging in an indigo night sky. Josiah browsed the internet, settling on an image of a golden sun nestled between the blue sky and white clouds, and changed his profile picture to it.

Then, satisfied, he tucked his phone back into his pocket.

When Lysander entered the function room, there weren't many people around yet. The seats were plentiful on all sides. Just like her school days, she found a corner where she could see and hear everything clearly and settled down there.

When the speaker took the stage and the lights dimmed everywhere except the podium, the corner would be the least crowded. She could immerse herself in writing and sketching without worrying about disturbing others or being disturbed herself.

Just as the presentation was about to commence, Lysander heard a rustling sound beside her. Someone had taken a seat one spot away from her.

Lysander, driven by curiosity, cast a sidelong glance, only to meet Adrian's gaze directly.

Adrian appeared quite amiable, simply nodding slightly toward her as a greeting, an action perfectly fitting for friends meeting each other.

Lysander and he both felt guiltless. Seeing the situation, they didn't bother to avoid any misunderstanding. They behaved just like students who happened to meet in a classroom, each minding their own business. Once the presentation was over and the speaker had left, they exchanged a few words.

"You still have the sfondness for this kind of spot." Adrian began reminiscing about the the spent studying in Stounia.

Lysander gave a soft smile. "You too. By the way, is White Coat okay?" Adrian nodded. "It worked out well. Before I left, I found a foster hfor White Coat. Because I frequently visited the pet store to buy dog food and toys, the staff there had basically becquite familiar with me." He realized that at spoint, he had also started to converse with Lysander in such a casual manner. It turned out letting go wasn't as difficult as one presumed.

Adrian mocked himself inwardly, then with a sense of resignation, he said, "You and Mr. Guerra... you seem very happy together. Congratulations to both of you." Upon realizing that even Adrian had misunderstood her current relationship with Josiah, she had nothing more to say except for a light chuckle. She softly said, "Let's not bother with the latter half of that sentence." She was merely stating the facts, without any intention of explaining them to him.

Adrian knew the score and didn't entertain any inappropriate thoughts. He simply used this opportunity to say, "I told you earlier, it seems like Mr. Guerra is still., quite wary of me. I'm afraid that trying to explain to him might only make matters worse, so decided not to." "Actually, I heard about what happened recently from Harper. I'm at a loss for words about Mr. Maverick's situation, all I can say is that I hope you find peace with it. As for the Lanister family's affairs, the fact that you were able to bring them to justice is truly a commendable deed..." Lysander listened quietly, only responding lightly after he had finished speaking about these matters.

"It was only when it was tforto act that I realized doing these things wasn't as difficult as I had imagined. As for the person who brought Dillon and Tiffany to justice was Josiah, not me. I didn't really contribute much." Adrian was only taken aback for a moment this time, quickly accepting the reality. "Mr. Guerra has changed a lot now."

Lysander nodded. "Yes, at first, I thought he was just putting on a show. I didn't expect that in the end, it turned out to be real. I guess I underestimated the situation. Having gone through all these events, I suppose we've each gained something." "Is that so..." A haze clouded Adrian's eyes, and he promptly realized that all hope was lost. Fortunately, he had mentally prepared himself beforehand, which limited his disappointment.

A moment later, he asked earnestly, "Will we still be friends in the future?"

Even before their last parting, Adrian had already realized his mismatch with Lysander. The timing of when. someone enters enters your life is indeed crucial. When he met Lysander, she had already experienced too much, and there was neither the need nor the possibility for her to look back. That day's conversation would be considered as putting a period on his one-sided love.

Lysander solemnly said, "Of course." Adrian could tell that she was sincere when she spoke, the mist in her eyes disappearing with his sigh. Then, he asked, "Can White Coat just be....." He had cared for White Coat for so long that he truly found it hard to part with, yet Lysander was its rightful owner.

Lysander had no intention of taking back White Coat, she was particularly open-minded at the moment. "If you're willing, from now on, you're the owner of White Coat. If you don't like the name, feel free to change it." Adrian's expression relaxed. "No need, it's already accustomed to this name."
