Chapter 174


    Chapter 174 As Siblings.


    Lauraforted her, “The capable ones often have to work the hardest. It’s a sign that the


    leadership values. Zach highly.”


    “Oh, I hope that’s the case, but I won’t hide it from you, Laura. You understand how it is with state–


    owned enterprises, where seniority rules. It sounds prestigious when you talk about it, but in reality,


    it’s not much. easier than privatepanies. The only benefits are a decent sry and job stability.


    Otherwise, it can be quite tough.”


    “The job is steady and the pay is decent, which is already quite good. Zach has always been


    outstanding since he was a child. He’s still young now, so once he gradually gains more


    experience, life will get better in the future.”


    Cam held Laura’s hand, their bond as close as sisters. “You’re right. I don’t expect him to reach


    high heights. As mothers, all we really wish for is our children to lead safe and peaceful lives, don’t


    you agree?”


    Laura understood her meaning all too well, yet her smile was somewhat forced. “I get what you’re


    saying. but… we should take the children’s feelings into ount when ites to this kind of


    matter.”


    “I know. I’m just keeping you in the loop. As long as you have no objections, we can let things


    unfold naturally. If things work out, that would be great. If not, they can simply continue as siblings.


    Either way, things between us will remain as they always have been.”


    Upon hearing these words, Laura finally felt a sense of relief.


    Camughed heartily. “It seems I’ve truly startled you two today, haven’t I?”


    Laura held her hand to her heart, remaining silent. It was Maverick who spoke up. “It is indeed


    unexpected. Zach never hinted at it before.”


    Cam wore an exasperated expression. “He’s always been a reserved person. He wanted to say


    something. but


    your Lysander is such an independent spirit, always striving on her own in her studies and career.


    He was afraid that speaking up might disturb her, so he kept it all to himself, thinking there would be


    another chance in the future. Who would have thought that Lysander would suddenly get


    married…”


    Whenever this incident was brought up, Maverick’s brows would furrow deeply. “Yes, I shouldn’t


    have agreed so quickly back then.”


    Cam went on, “Iter heard that Lysander’s partner was from a distinguished family, even the


    CEO of apany. Upon hearing this, Zachary gave up immediately. How could ordinary people


    like us possiblypete with someone from a publicly listed corporation?”


    Maverick disagreed, “I’ve never been impressed by these listedpanies. No matter howrge a


    company is, what does it really matter? When ites to a couple’s life, it’s better if both are on the


    same level. It allows them to support and take care of each other more effectively.”


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    “Exactly!” Cam eximed excitedly, pping her hands together. “We’re on the me page. I’ve


    seen so many news stories on TV about female celebrities marrying into wealthy families and not


    having the best lives. Maverick, Laura, we’ve been friends for so many years. I know you two aren’t


    the type to chase after wealth and status. You just want your children to be happy.”


    Maverick hesitated a bit and replied, “But… this would be Lysander’s second marriage, whereas it


    would be Zach’s first…”


    The Charming Ex–Wife


    “Mom, Mrs. Thorne, what were you all chatting about that made you so happy?”


    Cam gave him a light smack. “Where on earth did you disappear to? Lysander is already back.


    You to find her but ended up getting lost yourself?”


    went out


    Zachary nced at Lysander, smiling as he kept the earlier incident a secret. “My bad, my bad. I


    bumped into a waiter right at the entrance and ended up spilling soup all over my pants. I just went


    to the restroom to clean up.


    “Hot soup? Are you okay? Did it scald you?”


    “No… Really, I’m fine. Mom, please stop looking. Mr. and Mrs. Thorne are here! It’s embarrassing if


    you pull at my pants…”


    Cam pouted. “I’m your mother! And I’m just looking at your pant leg. What’s so bad about that?”


    Although she said that, Cam still loosened her grip, sat up straight, and apologized somewhat


    regretfully, “I’m sorry for keeping everyone waiting.”


    Both Maverick and Laura waved their hands, stating that it was a relief Zachary hadn’t been burnt.


    Cam then turned her attention to Lysander, attempting to both exin and smooth things over.


    “Lysander, please don’t take it to heart. Zachary is usually quite steady. Today was just an


    anomaly…
