    Chapter 287 How Do You Want To y


    Aiden pped his face with a resounding smack.


    Zane was slowly backing away, ready to bolt at any moment.


    Only Daphne remained, reveling in the chaos. “Ms. Elmore, you still haven’t answered my question.


    How do you know the child’s skin color was due to hyperpigmentation? And how do you know


    Lysanne was bringing food to Old Mrs. Guerra?”


    Belonging to N?velDrama.Org.


    “Lysanne told me herself. I believe her.”


    Squeak!


    A piercing sound echoed.


    Zane, in his haste to escape, had knocked over a chair


    He yelled as he made his escape, “Josiah, I’ve got something urgent at home. Gotta go!”


    Then he quickly fled the “crime scene.


    Aiden’s curses followed, “D’mn it, Zane! You ran off without me!”


    Yvonne was baffled. “Why is Zane running-away? What’s he so scared of, like he’s seen a ghost?”


    Daphne nodded enthusiastically. “It’s almost Halloween. Maybe he really did see something


    spooky.”


    Yvonne scoffed, putting her hands on her hips. “Ms. Everhart, do you have anymon sense?


    Halloween was two or three months ago.”


    “Oh, it’s already passed? Well, I must be really dumb.


    “It’s not your


    fault,” Yvonne generously replied. “Knowing you’re dumb means you’re not too dumb. Just read


    more books in the future.”


    Struggling to hold back herughter, Daphne nodded. “Okay, thanks for the advice, Ms. Elmore.”


    “It’s nothing. After all, I graduated from a famousw school, unlike you who graduated from a third-


    rate university. Encouraging you to read more is for your own good.”


    “Okay, okay, thanks for your great kindness, Ms. Elmore. I’ll never forget it,” Daphne said before.


    bursting intoughter. “I can’t hold it in anymore. You guys keep chatting. I’ll gough over there for


    a while. Hahaha…”


    Yvonne was bewildered and asked Lysander, “Is your friend really mentally ill? If she is, it’s better to


    seek treatment early. Mental health shouldn’t be neglected.”


    Lysander cleared her throat. “Well, thanks for your concern.”


    She nced at the people around her.

    Adrian was smiling.


    Josiah’s face was incredibly dark.


    Lysanne looked pale.


    Aiden had given up struggling and was now sitting in corner, doodling circles.


    Yvonne was still loudly dering, “Josiah, I’ve exined everything clearly. You can’t


    misunderstand Lyss anymore. After all these years of pining for her, now that you’ve finally got her,


    don’t let petty thingse between you. She’d be devastated. If she regrets being with you and


    decides to leave, don’t cry then!”


    “Yeah.” Aiden finally spoke up. “Ms. Elmore is right. You loved her for years, and I’ve witnessed your


    love. Mr. Guerra, you should treat Mrs. Guerra well. Don’t regret itter.”


    Yvonne nodded vigorously, like a pecking hen. “Exactly, exactly. Dr. Guerra, you’re cloquent.”


    Josiah gave Yvonne a disdainful look, but she seemed oblivious, smiling back at him.


    Josiah averted his gaze. “Since everything’s been exined, we won’t disturb Mr. and Mrs. Guerra


    anymore. You guys have fun. We’ll go over there.”


    “Since we’re all going to y, let’s y together.”


    Josiah shrugged off his coat onto a nearby chair. He picked up a pool cue and tested it in his hand.


    “I’ve heard Dr. Guerra is good at billiards. How about a game?”


    Aiden raised an eyebrow. “What’s your proposal, Mr. Guerra?”


    “Anything. I’m game for whatever.”


    “ying alone is dull. How about a doubles match?”


    “The specifics?”


    Adrian said, “You’ll team up with Mrs. Guerra, and I’ll team up with Lysander. Eight-ball, clear the


    table


    to win.”


    Josiah’s face darkened. “Are you doing this on purpose, Dr. Sutton?”


    “Mr. Guerra, are you looking down on me or looking down on Lysander?”
