His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 676 All Roads Lead To A Dead End :82% Finished As Lysander hoisted his arm over her shoulder, she explained to him, "The Great Gathering is when the local villagers gather for a day of trade. Everyone will bring something to exchange on that day. This is the only town nearby, so it's bound to be exceptionally lively in the next couple of days.” She had cto the rural village to seek relief from her inner torment and despair. Up until now, she had only heard about the local festivities but had never participated. However, after the thrilling events of the previous night, she had finally developed a certain interest in these vibrant, lively activities.

With a thoughtful expression, Josiah suggested, “Driving back and forth is quite a hassle. Why don't we extend our stay in town for a couple of days this time? Like the other villagers, we could go to the Great Gathering and visit the festival of the deities. I had no idea such events even existed before." Mm." Before leaving, Carol had instructed the driver to return the car to the entrance of the village, which indeed saved them a good deal of trouble.

Josiah had injured his ankle and wasn't able to exert much force for the tbeing. Naturally, the task of driving fell onto Lysander.

Lysander had never driven the car before, but she adapted quickly. After taking the car keys, she practiced a bit at the village entrance, and soon she was smoothly on her way.

Just as the villagers had mentioned, the townsfolk had already begun preparations for the Great Gathering happening the next day, causing the roads to gradually becmore congested.

Josiah was worried that Lysander, with her limited driving experience, wouldn't be able to handle such at challenging situation. Unexpectedly, she managed to keep the car particularly steady.

It was indeed quite consistent with her usual character.

"I knew you could drive and had a license, but I didn't realize your driving skills were this impressive," he admitted from the passenger seat, a complex intrigue stirring within him.

They had been married for such a long time, yet he didn't even know what she was capable of.

Lysander, however, didn't consider being able to drive well as an extraordinary skill. She said nonchalantly, "The most important thing for a surgeon is a steady hand. If I can't even handle a steering wheel properly, how could I dare to perform surgery on someone?" This was merely an ordinary, trivial matter.

Josiah glanced at the bustling crowd ahead on the street and said, “I've cto realize, days like these are not so bad." Lysander gave him a look.

"So this is the simple life you've always talked about,” said Josiah. “A life of routine work and rest each day. The conditions might not be the best, but every day is fulfilling. The people around are genuine and friendly. There's no need to worry about hidden meanings in someone's words or who might be trying to take advantage of you... Even though the body might feel tired, the heart feels light." 1/3 82% Chapter 676 All Roads Lead To A Dead End wife. I have my own worth, as well as the lifestyle I desire." "I have started to adapt and even grew fond of your way of life." "So... you're getting used to only bathing once a week?" "Yes," Josiah chuckled. "Do you think I've gone mad?" Finished In the brief pause as they waited for pedestrians to cross the road, Lysander sneaked a glance at him. "No, I'd only suspect you've got a fever again." Josiah gave a bitter smile. “You're right. But I did have a moment of such thought. After all, if I hadn't personally encountered those thugs, I wouldn't have believed that Dillon would have the audacity to act so recklessly in my name." His marriage with Tiffany had already been dissolved publicly.

Lysander nodded. "Carol should be able to clarify things on her return trip, right? Everyone in the village is kind- hearted, I hope they can receive justice and keep their homes. Even if there's a need to develop the pond, it shouldn't disrupt their peaceful lives." "Definitely," said Josiah, who had been in the village for just under three days, but had already developed a fondness for the serene lifestyle here. He was quite moved as he said, "The people and scenery here are wonderful. Had I not made this trip, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to get to know you better." As they spoke, the car slowly made its way through the crowd, coming to a halt beneath the only budget hotel in town.

There were indeed a few small inns nestled within residential buildings in the vicinity. However, the suspiciously low prices made them question the legitimacy of the place. Taking into account her own cleanliness obsession and Josiah's usual lifestyle, Lysander decided to go for the budget hotel, which, judging from its exterior, had been around for quite stime.

After a long journey, Josiah had taken srest. When he got out of the vehicle, his injured ankle still felt a bit uncomfortable. However, as long as he didn't walk too quickly, it was hardly noticeable.

Upon seeing the situation, Lysander had to change her initial plan of helping him buy clothes. Pointing at the wholesale mall across the street, she asked, "I've already checked. There are no shopping malls in town, at most there's a fast-fashion clothing store. Can you accept that?" "Absolutely." Josiah nodded with unwavering certainty.

The clothes clinging to his body had already pushed him to his limits. However, just as he was about to step into the wholesale mall, he said, “I gave all the cash I had withdrawn earlier to Nilou, and I left my wallet in the consultation room. I do have my phone, but it's not charged." People often say that the sky never bars one's way. However, this time, every path he took led to a dead end. He was, in all truth, penniless, After hearing Josiah's worries, Lysander gave a long sigh of relief. “Your face suddenly turned so grim. I thought something serious had happened." Josiah's face ashen. "Isn't it a big deal to not have money?" This was probably the first the had experienced the bitterness of being penniless.

Lysander found this moment truly precious and couldn't help but to crack a small smilexit okay. I've got it covered. If you really feel bad about it, consider itrepaying a favor.

That way, I'll feel better too." Josiah had once gifted her clothes, and now it was her turn to return the favor. However, the value disparity was temporarily hard to level out.

However, Josiah had no intention of letting her repay his favor. After a moment of contemplation, he rallied his spirits and said, "Consider the expenses later as a loan from you to me." With that, a new connection was established between them.

Naturally, Lysander had no objections to this. She still had sunused cash on her, which could be conveniently spent here.

The town only had this one shopping center, and these past few days coincided with the festival of then deities. The influx of people was so immense, it was as if everyone who could possibly cwas crammed inside. The two of them had to jostle their way through the throng, rubbing shoulders with the crowd.

This was a experience for Josiah. He was worried that Lysander might get pushed away due to the crowd. Using his height to his advantage, he grabbed her hand and said, "Let's go inside, there are fewer people there. Lysander was worried that he might aggravate his ankle injury, so she followed him. When they finally reached the sales assistant, she understood why there were fewer people around.

Upon clearly seeing the rows of lingerie hanging in front of him, Josiah's expression instantly turned.
