Chapter 163 A Practical And Economical Man
The screenshot showed a question–and–answer post from Google.
The question was: How long after death can a person be reincarnated?
The response came from someone who signed themselves as Father Jeff: After a soul departs from
its mortal coil and returns to the underworld, it takes roughly seven hundred days before it can
reincarnate.
“Is this information from Google reliable?” Lysander asked.
“What do you think? It’s a listedpany.”
“But who exactly is this Father Jeff?”
“I’m not sure, but at least he could tell you something ordinary people wouldn’t know.”
Lysander wondered if it could be a lie to gain clout.
Daphne said, “It’s up to you whether you believe it or not.”
Growing up under the influence of worldly education andter specializing in obstetrics, Lysander
was quite skeptical.
However, this time, she desired to follow her heart for once.
When Daphne realized she remained silent, she understood her thoughts. “Lysander, we must learn
from this experience. It doesn’t matter how handsome or wealthy a man is; it’s useless. If you want
to live a good life, we should find a practical and economical man.”
Cam’s husband, Zachary’s father, had passed away unexpectedly over a decade ago.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
The two families had a good rtionship and visited each other frequently. At that time, Zachary
had been in high school, while Lysander had been in herst year of middle school. Laura had used
the excuse of asking Zachary to tutor Lysander. In reality, she had just wanted them toe over
for meals, as the loneliness of a single mother and her child was palpable.
However, Lysander had always been an excellent student. When Zachary arrived, they would
simply sit on opposite sides of the same desk to do their homework together. asionally, when
Lysander had some questions, he would assist in solving them.
For Cam’s fiftieth birthday, a grand celebration was held at a renowned Hestryan cuisine
restaurant located in the heart of Harborbrook.
As they set off in the morning, the family of four had just descended the stairs when they spotted
Zachary’s car waiting downstairs. “Mr. Thorne, Mrs. Thorne, my mom sent me to pick you all up.”
Laura’s face lit up with joy. “Jeez, you should have spent the day with your mother. Howe
you’re here acting as our chauffeur?”
Zachary stepped out of the car, diligently taking the gifts from Maverick’s and Laura’s hands and
cing them into the trunk. Then, he courteously opened the car door for Laura and helped
Maverick fasten his seatbelt. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
Right then, Michelle touched Lysander’s arm and leaned in. “Lysander…”

Upon seeing her pleading expression, Lysander immediately understood. “You have made ns
with your little boyfriend again?”
“Lysander, he has a name. It’s Calvin Conway.”
“But today is Mdm. Cam’s birthday. You’re thinking of sneaking out midway? Mom and Dad will
definitely disapprove.”
“That’s why I need you to cover for me!”
Lysander shook her head. “I’m afraid I can’t cover for you on this one.”
“It’s quite simple, Lysander. If Mom, Dad, or Mdm. Cam asks about me, just tell them I’ve gone to
the restroom and then change the subject. After all, I’m not the center of attention today. No one will
notice my absence.”
Lysander looked at Michelle and couldn’t help but sigh.
Ah, she’s experiencing her first taste of love, which exins why she’s so nicely dressed. It turns
out, it isn’t for Mdm. Cam’s birthday, but for a date with her little boyfriend.
“So how long do you think you’ll be gone?”
“He invited me to watch a movie. So about three hours?”
“You need three hours to use the restroom?”
“Lysander, you’re the smartest. Think of something, please?”
