    Lysander could distinctly feel a sharp gaze from across the room.


    She turned away, avoiding meeting his eyes.


    Maxim’s heavily pregnant wife, Remi Dyer smiled as she took Lysander’s hand. “Dr. Thorne, please sit.


    The meal is about to start.”


    Lysander insisted. “But the other employees haven’t arrived yet. How can we start?”


    Remi affectionately patted her hand. “They’re all young people, not into gatherings. My husband told


    them to go have fun on their own. Come, sit here.”


    Lysander once again realized that although pregnant women were considered vulnerable, in a sense,


    they were also strong.


    Because of her pregnancy, if she set her mind on something, those caught by her couldn’t dare resist


    too much.


    Just like now, she was forced to passively sit by Remi, and she couldn’t directly shake off her hand.


    It was reminiscent of when she was pulled into the chaotic traffic by Lysanne and nearly lost her life.


    Remi called out, “Maxim,e over here. Let Zach sit in your spot. The young couple should sit


    together.”


    Maxim pped his forehead,ughing heartily. “Ah, that’s forgetful of me. Yes, yes, couples should sit


    together. Today, there are three couples here. It’s like celebrating Valentine’s Day. Isn’t that festive?”


    At this point, Josiah abruptly set down his cutlery.N?velDrama.Org is the owner.


    Maxim and Remi immediately fell silent, not daring to speak anymore.


    Zacharyughed heartily, seemingly oblivious to the undercurrents stirring within the private room. He


    poured a cup of wine for Josiah first, then filled his own. “Mr. Guerra, here’s to you. I’ll go first, you go at


    your pace.”


    With that, he tilted his head back, downing half a ss of vodka.


    After finishing, he turned the ss upside down, indicating it was empty.


    Zachary ced the empty ss on the table and raised his voice. “I hope our architectural design


    company’s cooperation with Guerra Group goes smoothly, achieving a win–win situation.”


    Josiah remained unmoved, keeping his head slightly tilted. He looked like he was assessing Zachary,


    yet also contemting something.


    Lysanne sat beside, shrinking into a small ball, not daring to utter a word.


    Seeing Josiah silent for a while, she called softly, “Josiah…”

    “If it’s nothing, don’t meddle.”


    “Okay.”


    Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Remi was full of empathy. Taking advantage of her age, she jokingly


    advised, “Mrs. Reyes, don’t be so harsh to your wife. Be careful she won’t let you into the bedroom


    tonight.”


    “We live separately.”


    Remi’s smile froze on her face. “D–Did you have a fight?”


    89%


    Lysanne felt even more aggrieved. She sniffled and forced a smile. “No, we didn’t quarrel. He’s busy


    with work, sometimes working overnight, so it’s more convenient to live separately.”


    Saying so, she nced at Josiah with a touch of resentment.


    Seeing Josiah’s continuously darkening expression, she disyed a helpless smile,


    Maxim intervened, “It’s okay, it’s okay. Couples quarrel all the time. My wife and I argue often. It’s


    normal. Sometimes harsh words or deeds can demonstrate one’s love, right?”


    Remi also chimed in, “Yeah, yeah, it’s very normal.”


    Josiah raised his ss, but his gaze remained fixed on her, his tone somewhat self–deprecating.


    “Sometimes, I actually wish we could quarrel. Always bottling it up inside, not even giving a chance to


    exin, not even starting a fight, that’s the hardest.”


    Zachary refilled his own ss again, raising it to clink with Josiah’s. “Exactly, it’s better to speak up


    about anything.”


    Remi asked, “Zach, do you quarrel with Dr. Thorne?”


    “We have never fought.”


    “Really?”


    “We grew up together from childhood. Our parents have always been close, so we know each other


    inside. out. There’s nothing to quarrel about.”


    Remi was a bit envious. “You two are childhood sweethearts. That’s really nice.”


    She joked, “Zach, you’re smart to have secured such a beautiful and outstanding wife early on. Once


    you’re married and have children, your career will flourish even more. That’s true sess in both


    career and family.”


    Zachary chuckled. “Lysander is a career–oriented woman. I don’t know when she’ll have children. But


    I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait for her.”


    “Oh, you two are so loving…”


    Boom!
