    Chapter 188 Two Edge Sword


    Lysander simply shed a subtle smile.


    Good friend.


    These words were once a thorn in her heart, but now they had be a double–edged sword


    aimed at Josiah.


    Zachary was still exining, “We’ve known each other for over twenty years and grew up together.


    We went to the same school, from elementary to high school. When she was deciding her college


    major, I was the one who helped her choose medicine.”


    The expression on Josiah’s face couldn’t be any gloomier.


    Taking advantage of the situation, Lysander said, “Mr. Guerra is nning to buy our neighborhood’s


    land to develop it into an amusement park, hence his visit to survey the area.”


    Zachary suddenly understood. “Oh, so that’s what it was, I initially thought it was…”


    Josiah expression drastically changed. “What did you think it was?”


    “Nothing, it’s nothing. As soon as I got home, my mom mentioned that our neighborhood is


    scheduled for demolition. Turns out, it’s actually driven by Mr. Guerra. That’s quite a coincidence.”


    Lysander spoke softly. “Mr. Guerra mentioned that he ns to build a house within Harborbrook for


    us to be resettled. That would solve our housing problem in the future.”


    Zachary was somewhat taken aback. “Really? That’s fantastic! My mom was just worrying about


    having to rent a house. Oh, Lysander, should our families choose the same floor and continue being


    neighbors? Our parents could keep visiting each other.”


    Lysander chuckled and said, “All you want is toe over to my house for a free meal, just like


    when we were kids.”


    “Haha, Mrs. Thorne’s cooking is just irresistible. I can chip in for the groceries and even lend a hand


    in the kitchen.”


    “Don’t worry about the meal expenses. My mom always thought she was an exceptional cook, but


    sadly, both Michelle and I barely eat at home. And you know how my dad is, he never says anything


    complimentary. But you, on the other hand, always have a creative way to praise her cooking. Not


    only that, you’d even take leftovers home. She would love it if you visited every day.”


    Zachary felt a bit embarrassed. “Don’t air my dirtyundry in front of others, alright? Can you at


    least save. me some dignity…”


    “Alright, alright, now that you’re here, don’t leave. When I just came down from upstairs, my mom


    mentioned she was about to cook. Want to join us for a meal?”


    “Um…” Zachary, rubbing his hands together with a sly grin, asked, “Is it really okay?”


    “Of course. Once you’re done eating, pack some food for Mdm. Cam as well. That way, she won’t


    have to cook dinner.”


    Zachary broke into a wide smile, his eyes sparkling. “That’s fantastic,” he said. “My mom has never


    liked cooking, and I’m sick to death of instant noodles.”

    “If she ever gets tired of cooking in the future, she’s always wee toe over to my ce for


    meals. It’s just my parents at home, and they’d enjoy thepany.”


    “Well, I won’t be a stranger then.”


    “Don’t worry about it.”


    Lysander looked at Josiah and said, “Mr. Guerra, we’ll be taking our leave now. When I’m free, I’ll


    give you a


    treat.”


    After speaking, they took Zachary’s hand and headed toward the entrance of the building.


    As they weren’t walking fast, Zachary’s voice could still be faintly heard.


    “Lysander, isn’t today Mr. Guerra’s engagement party? Instead of apanying his bride–to–be,


    he’s out here looking at property? Talk about dedication.”


    Lysander just gave a slight smile, calmly stating. “As long as the bride isn’t upset, that’s all that


    matters.”


    “True. This is their business. It’s not our ce to worry.”


    “Mmm–hmm.”


    “You know what’s strange. I’ve never seen a divorced couple getting along as well as you two do.


    Chatting andughing together, just like good friends.”


    “Don’t use the term good friends anymore in the future.”


    “Why?”


    “There could easily be a misunderstanding.”


    “What could possibly be misunderstood here?”

    “Anyway, just don’t say it.”


    “Oh, so how should I describe our rtionship if someone asks in the future?”


    Lysander paused for a moment, then said something.


    However, Josiah didn’t hear clearly.


    By the time she had started speaking, the two of them had already entered the apartment building.


    Their voices werepletely enclosed within the concrete structure, no longer distinguishable.
