Chapter 168 His Thoughts
“How long would you have hesitated if I hadn’t spoken up? Haven’t you learned from your past
mistakes? It was your constant indecisiveness that led Lysander to marry that rich man, a match that
was clearly unsuitable. Lysander herself hasn’t been living well either.”
“Mom…”
“All right, fine, I won’t say any more. You can exin it to Maverick and Laura yourself.”
Zachary waspletely flushed, clearly caught off guard by his mother’s blunt approach. He was
relieved that Lysander wasn’t present. Otherwise, he would have wished for a crack in the ground to
swallow him up.
As Zachary’s face turned beet–red while he stuttered in obvious difort, Laura said, “Zach, why
don’t you go check the kitchen? We’ve been here for quite a while, yet the food hasn’t arrived.”
Zachary, feeling as if he had received a royal pardon, immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go right now.”
The three younger ones had departed, leaving only the three elders at the table.
m was sipping her coffee with a cheerful smile, her tone as casual as a breeze on a clear day. “This
is t white. It has a rich and fragrant vor.”
The expressions on the faces of the couple, Laura and Maverick, were somewhat unnatural. They
responded with a few perfunctory remarks, but their hearts were no longer as joyful as when they first
arrived.
As soon as Michelle left the restaurant, she hailed a taxi.
Before she could get into the taxi, Lysander caught up with her. “Do you have enough money on you?
Both of you aren’t working right now, so your financial situation is tight. You can’t always let Calvin foot
the bill.”
Immediately, Michelle shook her head vehemently. “Lysander…”
“All right, I got it.”
“Thanks, Lysander!”
Watching her sister hastily depart in a taxi, Lysander could only shake her head in amusement and
helplessness before transferring a thousand to her.
Upon turning around, she spotted a familiar face.
“Zachary? Why are you out here too?“.
Zachary’s smile carried a hint of awkwardness as he replied, “The elders have their own topics to talk
about. With a youngster like me around, they won’t be able to speak freely.”
Lysander gave a nod.
“Are you feeling better now?”
“Yeah, much better.”
“Are you in a hurry to get back? If not, let me apany you for a stroll.”

Lysander understood immediately, teasing him with augh, “Elderly folks pressuring you to marry can
indeed be quite bothersome. Mdm. Cam hasn’t let up on you these past few years, has she?”
“No, she hasn’t…”
“Regardless, you’re aware of Michelle’s situation. She’s a young girl experiencing her first love. I’m
afraid nothing can pull her back here, so you’ll have to give up on her bing a daughter–inw to
your family.”
Zachary awkwardly rubbed his hands. “I know. I’m well aware of her situation. That guy is really quite
decent. They make a good pair.”
“From what I can see now, they do seem quitepatible. However, I’ll need to look into his family
backgroundter. I used to think the concept of a couple being well–matched in status was old–
fashioned, but reflecting on my personal experience, there’s actually some truth to it.”
Almost instantly, Zachary asked, “You also think it’s pretty good when couples are from simr
backgrounds. right?”

Lysander nodded. “At least if a couple have simr experiences growing up and share the same
values, they might have moremon topics to talk about, unlike what happened to me. All I can say
is, people from. different social sses shouldn’t force a connection.”
Zachary cracked a small smile, a hint of embarrassment creeping in as he scratched his head. “True,
you make a valid point.”
“Zachary.”
“Hmmm?”
“I’ve been neglecting my responsibilities to my family these past few years, so I’m truly grateful to you
for taking Michelle to cram school. I won’t forget this favor. If you ever need anything in the future, don’t
hesitate to ask me.”
Zachary took in her earnest expression and couldn’t help butugh in resignation. “Do you really think
the person I like is Michelle?”
“Isn’t that so?”
“Michelle is nine years younger than me. Even if I had loose morals, I wouldn’t entertain the idea of
pursuing an underage girl. What kind of person do you take me for?”
“Then…”
“I simply see her as a little sister who needs care and protection.”
Lysander was confused. “Then what about what Mdm. Cam just said to my parents? She mentioned
that you’ve been waiting all these years…”
She suddenly halted, a bit stunned, before her gaze turned incredulous. This disbelief quickly morphed
into suspicion, and finally, she was left in a state of hesitant confusion.
“Watch out-”
Crash!
The sound of shattering ss exploded by their feet.
