    Daphne had been best friends with Lysander for two decades. Thus, upon hearing those words, Daphne actually found herself calming down.


    The look in Prisci’s eyes flickered as she said, “Actually, this isn’t too bad.”


    Lysander smiled, and Prisci bashfully stuck out her tongue. “I’m just talking nonsense, Lysander.”


    “No, you’re right,” affirmed Lysander.


    Daphne stroked her chin, lost in thought for a moment. “Lysander, has Josiah really given up pursuing you for so long?”

    Lysander gazed at the distant silhouette of a man and a woman standing side by side and nodded slightly. “From the looks of it, it should be.”


    “You’ve been ruthless with your words before, so why did he suddenly give up this time?”


    Actually, Lysander hadn’tpletely figured out why that was.


    However, it didn’t really matter to her. Men and women were entirely different creatures, and she couldn’t be bothered to delve into his mental processes


    However, what Prisci said was indeed quite true and Lysander thought perhaps that ending was for the

    The oue of her rtionship with Josiah had already been determined.


    As for who Josiah ended up with afterward, that was no longer something she needed to worry about.


    From Josiah’s perspective, the past was unchangeable, and his childhood friend had already turned back. His choice to be with Lysanne was simply a

    “He wants to meet me?” asked Lysander.


    “Yes.”


    “Is it because of that matter with Harry?”


    Daphne pouted. “Perhaps my father still feels guilty toward you.”


    Lysander shook her head. “It’s not that I don’t want to go. Michelle ising home tonight, and I’ve already promised to spend time with her.”


    “No worries. Why don’t you bring your family along? Your parents know me anyway. Consider it as a wee home party for you.”


    After some thought, Lysander called her family.

    In the afternoon, when Howard came to take over the shift, Lysander had a word with him.


    There was a hint of envy in Howard’s eyes, but his words were somewhat humble. “That’s good. Since you’re back from Stounia, you should spend more

    Daphne was behind the wheel, driving home with Lysander. They picked up Maverick and Laura, along with Michelle, who had just returned from univers


    Michelle had tanned significantly and lost some weight as well, yet her eyes remained sparklingly bright.


    ncing at Michelle through the rearview mirror, Lysander chuckled lightly. “So, how’s life as a university


    student?”


    Michelle pouted. “It’s okay. Just so–so. Zachary said that once I’m in university, things


    will get easier, yet I feel even more exhausted than when I was in high school.”


    Lysander asked, “Has Zachary contacted you recently?”


    “He did, but not frequently, as his job seemed to keep him quite busy.”


    “All right.”


    “By the way, Zachary was asking about you.”


    “About what?”


    “It was just the usual stuff, you know. He asked how you’ve beentely, if you’ve been busy with work. I mentioned that you went to Stounia, and


    he seemed quite surprised.”


    “Is there anything else?”

    “Nope.”

    Lysander nodded. “Zachary is busy with work right now. To disturb him too much.”


    “I know, I know, I never initiated contact with him. It was always him who chatted with me on WhatsApp whenever he had some free time.”


    Lysander breathed a small sigh of relief.


    Michelle was a naive girl,cking Zachary’s cunning. When Zachary chatted with her, he merely wanted to probe for information to understand the situat


    Daphne answered a phone call, exchanged a few words, then covered the receiver and asked Lysander, “My dad wants to know if you’d prefer Ecronian

    “The Epean restaurant is just up ahead, but if you want Ecronian food, we’ll need to turn back


    Lysander was somewhat taken aback. “Aren’t we going to your ce for dinner?”


    Daphne let out a sigh. “I initially suggested eating at home, but my dad mentioned that my grandma isn’t doing too well. He was worried that it might spo

    Lysander nodded, showing she understood.


    Delores needed to rest and recuperate at that time. As such, a meal at the Everhart residence would inevitably disrupt Delores‘ rest.


    Lysander turned to her parents and asked, “Mom, Dad, would you prefer Ecronian or Epean cuisine?”


    Frankly, middle–aged people tend to have well–


    established preferences, and they certainly favor Ecronian cuisine. However, upon hearing that they would need to take a detour, Maverick said, “Let’s ju


    this time.


    Michelle quickly nodded. “Let’s go for Epean food. I’ve never been to an Epean restaurant before.”


    After uttering a few more words into her phone, Daphne abruptly ended the call and continued driving. Shortly, she pulled up in front of an Epean restau


    Rufus seemed exceptionally well–prepared. He was dressed in Ecronian–


    style attire, looking vibrant and sprightly, and personally weed his guests at the door.


    Lysander called out, “Mr. Everhart.”


    Rufus greeted them warmly, “You’re here! Come on in. Your seats are all set.”


    The Epean restaurant appeared quite luxurious.


    Lysander tugged at Daphne’s sleeve. “Why is it so grand?”


    Daphne shrugged. “My dad is a bit prideful, but don’t worry about it. Let Michelle eat to her heart’s content. Please, don’t hold back.”


    Epean dining differed from Ecronian dining in that it didn’t featurerge round tables but rather utilized long rectangr tables.


    Three people were on each side, facing each other.


    Maverick and Laura were not very familiar with Epean cuisine. Lysander took the initiative and ordered seafood aglio olio spaghetti for them, a


    dish that would likely suit their pte. On the other hand, Michelle excitedly ordered a heap of unusual and exotic dishes.


    Lysander ordered herself a steak and leisurely began to cut into it.


    Rufus said with augh, “It’s no wonder Lysander is a surgeon. She wields a knife like a pro.”


    Lysander gave an embarrassed smile. “Mr. Everhart, how is Old Mrs. Everhart doing? Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help.”

    “Your words have put me at ease. Well, her condition has significantly improved. The doctor said she just needs to rest and recover.”
