The Charming Ex–Wife
Chapter 570 Good Morning
Finished
Just as Lysander was about to drift into a cozy slumber, Josiah’s voice snapped her awake. She immediately. pulled the blanket over her head, trying to block him out..
Certain that she was still awake, Josiah pressed on, “The temperature’s dropped tonight. Check the weather if you don’t believe me.”
This was no exaggeration. He was so cold that his head was spinning-
The door wasn’t soundproof enough to mulle his discontented voice. Realizing she couldn’t sleep through it. Lysander got up and trudged to the door, grumbling. “Mr. Guerra, this isn’t a five–star hotel with room
service.”
“The temperature’s in the single digits. A blanket won’t cut it.”
Too tired to respond with “serves you right,” Lysander mumbled, “I only have one quilt. No extras.”
Thinking he wasn’t asking for much, Josiah pleaded, “Anything warm will do. give me whatever you have.
Realizing she wouldn’t get any peace otherwise, Lysander gave in.
Just
“Okay, remember what you said.” She threw her quilt out the door and quickly locked it again.
Accompanied by a soft “click“, the bedroom door was locked once again.
She did not bother checking if Josiah caught the quilt. Instead, she pulled out a thick winter blanket from her closet, wrapped herself in it, and fell asleep.
The next morning. Lysander was roused by persistent knocking, seemingly from next door.
Presumably, Josiah had gone back to figure out a way to open the door.
She had no intention of getting involved, but the heavy winter blanket soon became too hot, forcing her
out of bed.
Resignedly, Lysander rubbed her face to wake herself up and went to tell Josiah to quiet down. Entering the living room, she met his gaze.
Just like her. Josiah had just woken up on the couch.
Their eyes met, and she noticed how he had moved the single armchair to the end of the long couch, covering himself with the quilt. He did not look as miserable as he had claimed last night. “You look quite comfortable,” she remarked.
The knocking from next door was still echoing.
Smoothing his tousled hair, Josiah said, “Your couch is a bit small. I’ll replace it for you someday.”
Knock, knock, knock…
The commotion from next door grew louder. Josiah heard it too and frowned.

“No, I gave her the weekend off,” he replied.
Lysander furrowed her brows. “I’ll check it out.”

Seeing her in a thin nightgown, still groggy, Josiah stood up. “I’ll go. They’re knocking on my door after. all.
Before Lysander could respond, he opened the door to find two people standing in the hallway.
Aiden and Zane?
Aiden was knocking so hard it was almost like he was pounding on the door. “It does not make sense. I called the resort. They said Josiah did not return last night,” he muttered in confusion.
“Maybe he went home,” Zane suggested.
“Even if he did go home, why did he not take his phone? I’m calling him. Listen. It’s ringing inside.”
Zane paled. “Josiah never goes anywhere without his phone. Didn’t he have gastritis recently? Could he have passed out?”
“Impossible!” Aiden said in shock, his knocking intensifying. “Josiah! Josiah, are you okay? Answer me if you can hear-
He was abruptly cut off mid–sentence..
Striding over icily, Josiah interrupted them, “Can you be more considerate? It’s the weekend. Some people are trying to sleep.
“Sorry, Josiah, we forgot. It’s not…” Aiden began, then trailed off, looking Josiah up and down, stunned into silence.
Zane, equally surprised, was speechless.
Josiah frowned. “What’s with you two?”
Deciding there was no point in delaying, Aiden asked, “Josiah, did you spend the night at Lysander’s?”
Josiah nodded. “So?”
Aiden’s eyes widened in shock. “You two are progressing fast. Last time at the resort, she was still…
Unable to find the right words, he trailed off, and Zane covered his mouth just in time.
Zane was aware of some of the past events between Josiah and Lysander. She lived just next door.
Josiah had emerged from Lysander’s home in his house clothes and clearly had just woken up. It was obvious he hadn’t spent the night alone.
No further questions were needed.
Zane cheerfully greeted Josiah, “Morning. Josiah. Please pass our regards to Lysander.”
Stopped by Zane, Aiden quickly gathered his thoughts. Removing Zane’s hand, he explained his presence. Edid not mean to entice such a commotion. I think I donned my phone in your house last time I visited”

He was the one who helped Josiah find this place. He often came over for drinks and chats, sometimes misplacing things.
Josiah’s mood soured, his peaceful morning ruined.
Rubbing his temples, Josiah took a deep breath and tamped down his irritation at being rudely woken up before asking. “What is that in your hand?”
Realizing he might have disrupted more than Josiah’s sleep, Aiden said awkwardly, “It is a spare phone. I thought I would call and explain instead of coming over, but you did not answer.”
Raising an eyebrow, Josiah asked, “Can’t you afford a new phone?”
Aiden sheepishly explained, “You know I keep my personal and work lives separate. This phone has important numbers. I wouldn’t have come so early otherwise.”
Exasperated, Josiah asked, “What is so important that you had to come?”
Feeling cornered, Aiden confessed, “Well, it is the contacts from the women I met. If I don’t get it back, they might have trouble reaching me.”
This was the reason why he absolutely had to come.
Zane rolled his eyes. “Women, Aiden? I thought it was something important.”
Aiden nudged him. “Adrian is dedicated to one woman. The family counts on me to keep the line going. I have to make an effort.”
