Lysander could distinctly feel a sharp gaze from across the room.
She turned away, avoiding meeting his eyes.
Maxim’s heavily pregnant wife, Remi Dyer smiled as she took Lysander’s hand. “Dr. Thorne, please sit. The meal is about to start.”
Lysander insisted. “But the other employees haven’t arrived yet. How can we start?”
Remi affectionately patted her hand. “They’re all young people, not into gatherings. My husband told them to go have fun on their own. Come, sit here.”
Lysander once again realized that although pregnant women were considered vulnerable, in a sense, they were also strong.
Because of her pregnancy, if she set her mind on something, those caught by her couldn’t dare resist too much.
Just like now, she was forced to passively sit by Remi, and she couldn’t directly shake off her hand.
It was reminiscent of when she was pulled into the chaotic traffic by Lysanne and nearly lost her life.
Remi called out, “Maxim,e over here. Let Zach sit in your spot. The young couple should sit together.”
Maxim pped his forehead,ughing heartily. “Ah, that’s forgetful of me. Yes, yes, couples should sit together. Today, there are three couples here. It’s l
At this point, Josiah abruptly set down his cutlery.
Maxim and Remi immediately fell silent, not daring to speak anymore.

With that, he tilted his head back, downing half a ss of vodka.
After finishing, he turned the ss upside down, indicating it was empty.
Zachary ced the empty ss on the table and raised his voice. “I hope our architectural designpany’s cooperation with Guerra Group goes smoo

Josiah remained unmoved, keeping his head slightly tilted. He looked like he was assessing Zachary, yet also contemting something.
Lysanne sat beside, shrinking into a small ball, not daring to utter a word.
Seeing Josiah silent for a while, she called softly, “Josiah…”

“If it’s nothing, don’t meddle.”
“Okay.”
Perhaps due to her pregnancy, Remi was full of empathy. Taking advantage of her age, she jokingly advised, “Mrs. Reyes, don’t be so harsh to your wife
“We live separately.”
Remi’s smile froze on her face. “D–Did you have a fight?”

Lysanne felt even more aggrieved. She sniffled and forced a smile. “No, we didn’t quarrel. He’s busy with work, sometimes working overnight, so it’s mor

Seeing Josiah’s continuously darkening expression, she disyed a helpless smile,

Zachary refilled his own ss again, raising it to clink with Josiah’s. “Exactly, it’s better to speak up about anything.”
Remi asked, “Zach, do you quarrel with Dr. Thorne?”
“We have never fought.”
“Really?”
“We grew up together from childhood. Our parents have always been close, so we know each other inside. out. There’s nothing to quarrel about.”
Remi was a bit envious. “You two are childhood sweethearts. That’s really nice.”

Zachary chuckled. “Lysander is a career–oriented woman. I don’t know when she’ll have children. But I’m not in a hurry. I’ll wait for her.”
