Seemingly wanting to confirm something, he fixed his gaze intensely on Lysander.
Lysander nearlyughed out of frustration. “You’ve been going on about Adrian all day. What on earth
has he done to upset you this time?”
The smile on Josiah’s face faded, and he took a step back, putting some distance between them. “Two
tigers can’t share one den, yet Aiden has two big brothers. I simply can’t stand him.”
“Oh, so all this fuss was because you were jealous over Aiden?” asked Lysander with a sneer.
Josiah was at a loss for words.
I know you’re surrounded by women, but since when were you into men?” Lysander continued teasing.
frowning when she recalled the television series Daphne watched online about two men dating each
other.
It wasn’t because she was old–fashioned. She just couldn’t stand watching those shows for personal
reasons.
Josiah quickly denied, “What are you talking about? That’s not what it is! Seriously, what have you
been learning from Daphne?”
“I’m not interested, but I respect her preferences.”
“I don’t care what she likes. Don’t watch those with her.”
Lysander’s expression softened, and when she spoke again, her tone sounded solemn. “By the way, I
saw you at the private restaurant with Lysander and Tiffany.”
“So?”
“Who do you really fancy? Once you’ve made up your mind, stick to it and don’t give the other one
false hope.”
The subject of her words was vague, but Josiah still grasped her meaning and nodded. “Who do you
want me to stick to?”
“You’re the one choosing, not me.”
“You can say whatever you want, but the final decision still rests with me.”
Lysander took a deep breath. “I don’t want to pry into your personal affairs. It’s just that I can’t help but
sympathize with Tiffany upon seeing the state she’s in. After all, I experienced the exact same thing.”
Josiah’s expression became serious when he heard that. “This is the reason you wanted me to treat
Tiffany well?”
Lysander replied, “That’s because I understand how she feels. You both insist that the past is the that
you’re just friends, yet the three of you end up going out for dinner together. Any girl will feel
ufortable.”

I’ve already exined this to you. I had absolutely no idea what Lysanne was nning to do, let alone
the fact that she wasn’t even Mr. and Mrs. Thorne’s daughter.”

Josiah nodded. “All right, you go ahead.”
Wistfulness surfaced in Lysander’s gaze as she stared into the distance. Although she was looking at
Josiah, she seemed to be glimpsing into the past through him.
“After we got married, you were really good to me. I felt quite fortunate to have met you. So, when the
truth came out, I was indeed quite upset. I still remember how I felt at that time.” As time passed,
Lysander no longer felt anything when bringing this up again. Not a ripple of emotion was stirred in her
heart, and she spoke as if she were recounting someone else’s story.
The sky outside had gradually darkened. Tonight was a rare clear night, and moonlight filtered through
the bars on the security windows, casting a soft glow on the living room floor.
Lysander lowered her gaze to look at her and Josiah’s shadow, taking a sidestep to separate them
completely.
Josiah didn’t notice her subtle movements. His voice trembled as he confessed, “Regardless, it was
indeed my fault back then. I mishandled things and hurt you.”
Lysander waved her hand dismissively, “It’s okay. I no longer dwell on the past. Living in the present is
what truly matters now.”
Josiah’s heart clenched. “Then why are you still telling me all this?”
Lysander calmly exined, “I don’t want to see the tragedy that once urred to me rey on
someone else. If you’re marrying Tiffany just to form a business alliance with the Lanister family and
not because you truly love her, I hope you’ll think this through carefully. Our marriage was like that too,
devoid of love and based solely on convenience. You are already aware of how that ended. Tiffany is
younger and more naive than I am, so she will inevitably fall deeper. Even someone as cold–hearted as
me was upset back then. How do you think she would react?”
After hearing her words, Josiah pinched the bridge of his nose, troubled. “You seem quite concerned
about Tiffany, though I don’t recall you two sharing a deep connection.”
Lysander spoke honestly. “We’ve only met a few times, so it’s not like we’re close friends or anything”
“You’re being way too nosy.” He scoffed.
“I’m just afraid she’ll repeat my mistakes.”
Josiah suddenly put on an air of indifference. “It’s too early for you to draw conclusions. What makes
you so sure she’ll end up hurt?”
Lysander met his gaze and asked, “So, are you serious about Tiffany this time?”
This very question had infuriated Him and made him storm out in the early hours of yesterday morning.
Under normal circumstances, people referred to his reaction as a disy of anger born out of
embarrassment.
As expected, Josiah fell silent.
Lysander got to the point, saying, “I can tell that Tiffany has a soft spot for you. She’s not like me. I can
live well without love, but she can’t. If you don’t love her, don’t treat her too well. It’s cruel to give her
hope and take it away.”

She paused for a moment before adding, “Of course, if you can keep up this act in front of her forever.
then disregard what I said today and take it as me being nosy.”
After a moment of silence, Josiah spoke again, her voiceced with subtle hope. “Lysander, let me ask
you. Do you not want me to marry Tiffany?”
Lysander was taken aback. “No.”
Josiah pressed on, “I want to hear the truth.”
As he spoke, he couldn’t help but move closer to Lysander, trapping her between the cab and his
chest to prevent her from making a run for it..
“Was that a difficult time for you?” He tried toprehend Lysander’s feelings, and an unfamiliar pang
of bitterness swelled in his chest.
Lysander met his gaze head–on and admitted, “A little. But it was bearable. During that time, I did
some things I wanted to do but never had the courage to. Initially, I did them to distract myself. But
looking back now, those things were quite meaningful.”
Josiah pulled away slightly, persistently seeking for an answer. “So, you’re saying you no longer miss
what we once had?”
Lysander hadn’t expected him to ask such a question. After some thought, she said, “I suppose so.
Anyway, you should treat Tiffany properly.”
The conversation circled back.C0pyright ? 2024 N?v)(elDrama.Org.
Josiah stood facing the balcony, his handsome profile bathed in the soft moonlight. His voice, husky
from emotion, questioned Lysander, “But you admitted it, you did feel pain at that time. Was it because
deep down… you had a bit of love for me, too?”
