    Chapter 55 A Dirty Heart Sees Others As Dirty


    Inside the inte-famous restaurant, it was still packed.


    A dozen or so waiters weren’t enough, hustling around with tes flying everywhere.


    Daphne pulled Lysander to a vacant seat and immediately spat. “What rotten luck. I just wanted to


    enjoy a meal out and still end up encountering garbage.”


    Adrian slowly seated himself opposite two girls and asked, “Daphne, do you know Jane?”


    Daphne paused. “Jane? Who is that?”


    “The pregnant woman we just saw outside.”


    Daphne suddenly realized, then sneered mockingly, Jane? Well, at least she’s self-aware enough to


    give herself such a fitting name.”


    Adrian turned the menu towards them and handed it to the two girls. “You can order.”


    Daphne took it. “Let me handle it. I’ve checked the reviews online; I know all their signature dishes.


    We definitely won’t go wrong.

    Adrian asked, “What about you, Lysander?”


    Lysander smiled faintly. “I’m fine with anything.”


    “Any dietary restrictions?”


    “None. I’m good with whatever.”


    Lysander pushed up the gold-rimmed sses on his nose, restrained a smile, and nodded slightly.


    “You’re easy to please. Nowadays, they say it’s hard to please girls. Inviting a girl to dinner makes


    one anxious; if you order a dish she doesn’t like, you’re instantlybeled as not a good person.”


    Lysander asked, “Have you experienced this before?”


    “Not really. I just heard it from friends.”


    Lysander pondered for a moment before replying, “Actually, I think what you order and eat doesn’t


    have a direct rtionship with being together. Girls care more about whether the guy has them in


    mind and pays attention to their food preferences and lifestyle habits. Ultimately, they don’t want


    extravagant meals; they just want an attitude.”


    Adrian seemed to have an epiphany, nodding slightly “Learned something.”


    “Heh, that’s your perspective; some people don’t think so.” Daphne gestured towards the door


    entrance. “Some people are convinced that you can’t let go of thevish lifestyle and are


    desperately clinging to Josiah. She thinks everyone is like her?”


    Lysander’s tone remained indifferent. “A dirty heart sees others as dirty.”

    “Exactly.” Daphne mmed the menu shut. She added, “This restaurant has been so poprtely;


    why can’t wee just because she’s here? It’s just a coincidence. She thinks everyone is


    obsessed with Josiah like she is?”


    Lysander asked, “Have you decided on your order?”


    “I have. I’ve ordered via scanning the QR code on my phone.” Daphne suddenly asked, “Hey,


    Adrian, do you know that Lysanne?”


    Adrian raised an eyebrow and nced at Lysander. “Huh?”


    “Oh, no. I wasn’t talking about Lysander. I meant the pregnant woman just now who’s also named


    Lysanne.”


    Adrian hesitated for a moment. “What a coincidence?


    “Not really. It’s just a game of substitutes.”


    Lysander gently kicked her under the table.


    Daphne understood and immediately changed the subject. “So, uh, do you know her Stounian


    name


    but not her real name?”


    Adrian took a sip of tea, his voice deep. “I had some dealings with her back in Stounia because of a


    case.


    “A case?”


    “Yeah, I was the deceased’s doctor, and she was the defensewyer for the deceased’s husband.”


    “Wow, a homicide case?”


    “It wasn’t particrlyplex; the husband had an affair, but divorcing him would mean dividing the


    assets and facing hefty child support payments, so they decided to go all in.”


    Daphne mmed the table in anger. “And she defended such scum?”


    “That’s whatwyers do. They operate in the best interest of their clients. As for right or wrong in the


    moral sense, that’s for the courts to judge.”


    “What was the oue of the case in the end?”
