    Chapter 178 She Has Moved On


    “So, what exactly do you want from me? I’m aware that I’ve disappointed you, and I’ve noticed you’ve


    been ignoring me these past few days. I’ve been hesitant to say anything, worried that I might further


    upset you. I’ve been walking on eggshells around you…” Lysanne continued, her toneced with


    desperation.


    “Is this somehow my fault?” Josiah interjected sharply. “When will you stop using threats of death at


    every opportunity? Remember that time in front of that famous restaurant? You pulled Lysander into the


    street, and she ended up covered in bruises while protecting you and your unborn child. And now, after


    your secret has been publicly revealed, you’re thinking of running into the street again? Is there some


    law I’m not aware of that says dying in a traffic ident yields morepensation than jumping off a


    building or hanging yourself? Is that what they teach in thosew schools overseas?”


    Josiah’s words struck Lysanne like a barrage of fine needles, targeting her most vulnerable spots.


    She broke down, tears streaming down her face, “Josiah! You say I’ve changed, but look at you! You


    weren’t this harsh before!”


    “If we’re discussing aggressive behavior, I must have picked it up from you.”


    “Do you hate me that much?”


    The man did not respond.


    At this, Lysanne continued, “All right, you hate me, but then who is it you do love? Dr. Thorne? You just


    saw her, didn’t you? Getting into the passenger seat of another man’s car! She knows exactly what that


    implies. and yet she went ahead and did it!”


    “Enough!” Josiah dered, no longer wanting to hear any more. “I went through with the formalities as


    a sign of respect for your parents. I’m leaving now, do whatever you want.”


    “Josiah!” Lysanne called after him in a voice filled with anguish, “Have you fallen in love with her?”


    Josiah’s pace faltered for a moment. for a moment.


    “And what’s so special about her, anyway? She’s always buried in work, neglecting her home life. Her


    looks are average at best, and she’s so cold. Even her family background is nothing to write home


    about. And haven’t you noticed? She’s never truly loved you. Her marriage to you was merely a matter


    of convenience, nothing more!”


    “Shut up!”


    “She was just seen in the men’s restroom with that man…


    “Did you witness that? What else did you see? You mustn’t speak of this, do you understand? Who


    else was with you?”


    Lysanne bit her lip, her eyes filled with resentment. “Josiah, wake up! She’s already moved on to


    someone


    else!”


    The location Zachary mentioned was an outdoor basketball court.


    He parked his car alongside the road. Lysander immediately noticed Calvin, who was d in a red


    basketball jersey, and Michelle, who wasughing cheerily on the sidelines, her expression as radiant


    as a sunflower,

    “I knew she’d be here,” Zachary remarked.


    Lysander queried, “Do they frequent this ce often?”


    Zachary responded with augh, “That guy really loves basketball, and he’s actually quite skilled at it.”


    Lysander stepped out of the car and made her way into the basketball court, choosing a corner from


    which to observe quietly.


    Although she wasn’t well–versed in basketball, she had to admit, Calvin, who had bowed deeply when


    they first met, seemed quite unassuming. However, when he yed basketball, his charm was


    undeniable.

    Zachary parked the car and joined her side, standing still.


    “Back in our student days, we weren’t burdened by so many practical concerns. We didn’t have to


    worry about housing, cars, or jobs. Sometimes, all it took was a nce, a single phrase, and


    asionally, words weren’t even necessary. Just a silhouette could leave an indelible mark on your


    heart for years. Those pure emotions. are truly enviable.”


    “Do you envy them?” Lysander asked.


    “I truly do envy them, and that’s why I’m eager to help them. The kind of pure happiness I missed out


    on in my life–it’s not toote for Michelle to experience it. She doesn’t need to be rushed into dealing


    with the mundane aspects of life.”


    “But life is long, and it’s hard to continue based solely on the fleeting passions of our youth. Sooner or


    later, we have to face these worldly concerns.”


    “Still, it’s worth cherishing these wonderful feelings. Even if they don’tst forever, at least we will have


    lived. our youth to the fullest.”


    “Love without a resolution can be heart–wrenching.”


    Zachary sighed deeply. “But many people never even get the chance to experience such heartbreak.


    Take you, for example, Lysander. You’ve always been wise beyond your years–mature,posed, and


    always poised. But you’re too rational; you’ve never allowed yourself to be swept away by emotions.


    Even though you’re surrounded by gentle breezes, your heart could still be caught in a tremendous


    wave…”


    “Who said I’ve never been stirred emotionally?”


    Zachary appeared taken aback. “You’ve had a crush on someone?”


    “I’m not a robot; of course, I’ve liked someone before.”


    “Was it… your ex–husband?”
