Chapter 266 Do Not Say That
“Watching a movie,” Josiah said. “Instead of waiting around doing nothing, we might as well watch a movie. We’ve been married for over three years, and we haven’t watched a movie together, have we?”
Lysander was speechless. She stared straight at the screen, ignoring him.
Josiah offered her a coke. “Want some?”
“Don’t bother me. If we’re watching a movie, let’s focus on it.
“It’s a horror movie. Aren’t you scared?”
Lysander tilted her head at him. “Do you think I perform surgeries just for show? The blood is red syrup, and the flesh is just pork from the market?”
Josiah suddenly nodded. “Got it.”
The movie soon came to an end.
When the movie ended, the girls’ faces were pale, and the boys took the opportunity to comfort their girlfriends with hugs and hand-holding. Couples were scattered throughout the aisle.
Lysander was calm, even holding a large bucket of uneaten popcorn. “Michelle likes this. It would be a waste to throw it away, so I’ll take it back for her
She went to the counter and asked for a plastic bag to pack the popcorn.
Josiah’s gaze was filled with curiosity and regret as he looked at her.
Lysander walked back with the bag. “Why are you looking at me like that?”
“I feel like I still don’t know enough about you.”
Lysander chuckled. “Likewise.”
As they left the cinema, Lysander glanced back in the direction they came from, but there was no sign. of Harry.
Had he already left, or had he gone to meet Zachary?
They exited the mall and got into the car when Lysander’s phone rang.
The caller ID showed someone’s name.
Josiah’s eyes narrowed with displeasure. “After this matter is settled, block him.”
Lysander replied, “My parents are on good terms with his mother. Even if we know what’s going privately, it wouldn’t look good in front of the elders

After a pause, he added. “Add his last name.”
Lysander looked at the screen, where “Zachary-bro” was flashing, and answered the call.
“Lysander.” Zachary’s voice was as gentle and clear as always. “How was the movie?”
Even though she knew he wasn’t as innocent as he seemed, hearing Zachary’s candidness for the first time still sent a chill down Lysander’s spine.
“It was okay,” she said.
Zachary chuckled. “I originally planned to take you to see a movie too, but you’re too sharp and caught on too quickly. It’s a real pity…”
The phone was suddenly taken from her hand,
Josiah frowned slightly. “Time and place. Skip the nonsense.”
Zachary’s laugh echoed through the phone.
“What’s the rush, Josiah? All I’ve done with Lysander these past few days is put an arm around her
shoulder. No need to be so hostile.”
“If you had tried anything else, you wouldn’t be here talking so calmly now.”
Josiah’s voice carried a hint of menace, making it clear he wasn’t joking.
“How about we meet at the coffee shop next to the hotel where Lysander arranged for Priscilla? Weryluv Café, which is just downstairs. Sound good?”
Josiah glanced at his watch. “Twenty minutes.”
“Okay, see you soon.”
Twenty minutes later, Josiah parked the car in front of the café.
Zachary was sitting by the window, waving at them.
Josiah led Lysander inside. Zachary called a waiter over. He ordered politely, “An iced black coffee for the gentleman, and a warm milk for the Jady.”
The waiter nodded. “Sure, please wait a moment.”
Zachary smiled slightly. “If I remember correctly, Josiah, you prefer black coffee, right?”
Josiah was unfazed, pulling out a chair for Lysander and helping her sit before sitting down beside her. “I don’t mind, so any kind is fine. I actually prefer teaf
Zachary raised an eyebrow, chuckling. “Oh, it seems it’s Ms. Lysanne who likes coffee, and you adopted her preference.”
