Chapter 14 I’ll Set You Free
After finishing work, she took a taxi directly to the hotel.
However, at the hotel entrance, she spotted a familiar figure.
that
Josiah was leaning against the car door while smoking with his head down. Today, he was dressed casually, not in a suit and tie. Lysander guessed that he probably didn’t even go to the company day.
The reason he didn’t go was definitely not because of her.
Josiah noticed her and immediately extinguished the cigarette before jogging over to her side. “You’re back.
Lysander glanced at the hotel where she was staying. It was almost like a north-south divide from the apartment, and it took nearly an hour to drive one way.
“How did you know I was staying here?”
Josiah said, “This hotel is owned by the Guerra Group”
She furrowed her brows slightly and felt a sudden regret.
She was a doctor and didn’t know much about business. She rarely inquired about his company, let alone what industries were under the Guerra Group.
She never expected that this hotel was also owned by the Guerra Group.
“Where’s Lysanne?” she asked.
“Still at home.” Josiah felt a bit guilty and explained, “She can stay there if she wants. I’ll accompany you to stay at the hotel.”
Lysander shook her head. “You should go back. She’s a pregnant woman who needs care. I’ll be fine on my own.”
She turned, walked into the hotel, and headed straight for the elevator.
Josiah quickly took two steps to catch up with her. “Lysander, I called your hospital and found out that
will start your annual leave tomorrow. Let’s go out for a walk.“”
you
Ding! The elevator arrived.
Lysander walked in. “But I want to rest.”
“We can go to Mount Clindon. There is a resort hotel on the mountain, which is also owned by the Guerra Group. If you want to rest, we can stay at the hotel. If you want to go out and see the scenery and breathe fresh air, we can also go for a walk outside.”

Josiah said, “I have hired a caregiver to take care of her at home.”
“Josiah.”
“Yes, what is it?”
“Do you still want to be with me?” Lysander suddenly felt bored and decided to be straightforward. “These days, I have probably figured out some things. If you still can’t let go of Lysanne, I will set you free then. I will not stand in the way of you being together. We will part peacefully, and I will also bless you both.”
Josiah looked slightly embarrassed.
Perhaps it was because she hit the nail on the head, or perhaps it was because her indifferent attitude made him feel a little desolate.
The elevator door was about to close when he reached out to stop it. Then, he walked up and stood. beside her.
“It’s impossible… between me and her,” he stammered. “It’s never going to happen.”
Josiah seemed unwilling to talk more about his past with Lysanne. Once back in the room, he busied himself boiling water and ordering food.
This was the unspoken understanding between adults
He clarified that he didn’t want to say much, and she wouldn’t keep asking. They gave each other enough space, tacitly maintaining a buffer zone between them.
Daphne said, “Is this what you call dating? Dating is wanting to be together 24 hours a day and wanting to become one with each other, not like you guys. Being polite to each other is just getting by in life.”
Lysander thought about it and felt that it was true. They were just getting by in life together.
She was at the age where her family was urging her to get married, and she needed a stable marriage Josiah loved someone whom he couldn’t have, so it didn’t matter who he married. She was in good. health herself, and her name was similar to Lysanne’s
They didn’t have particularly high expectations of each other; as long as things were generally okay, they could get by. That was why they could coexist so peacefully.
However, Lysander was still hesitant about Josiah’s suggestion to stay in the mountains.
Daphne said, “I know that resort. The scenery is really beautiful, but it’s quite expensive. You should go! Why not go? You are now his legal wife and the owner of the resort! It’s free to stay now, but if you go later after a divorce, you’ll have to pay a high price, which is not worth it.”
Lysander checked the prices of the hotel online and couldn’t help but
gasp.
Daphne also reminded her. “You should confirm with Josiah first if Lysanne is not going with you guys.”

Chapter 14 Tl Set You Free
She felt that even if Lysánne caused trouble again, she wouldn’t take the child in her belly for granted.
But she didn’t expect that fate-loved to play tricks.
So, the next morning, she changed into light clothes, left the hotel with Josiah, and was ready to set off.
However, she saw the pregnant Lysanne in the parking lot.
Josiah seemed surprised to see her there. He furrowed his brow and asked, “What are you doing here?”
Lysanne didn’t even look at Lysander, as if Lysander were invisible. Her gaze was fixed on Josiah, with a hint of twinkling stars in her eyes.
“Josiah, I want to go to the nursing home on the mountain to visit my parents. Aren’t you going vacation with Dr. Thorne to the mountains? Since it’s on the way, why not give me a ride?”
Josiah lowered his head to check his phone. “I’ll call a car for you.”
“Why call a car? Is there no room in your car?”
I’m going on a honeymoon with Lysander!”
ron
“I know.” Lysanne smiled slyly. “You two enjoy yourselves. I won’t disturb you. I just need a ride. Dr. Thorne, you wouldn’t mind, would you?”
With that, she turned her head slightly to look at Lysander standing slightly behind Josiah. There was a confident smile on her lips.
Lysander chuckled softly and spoke slowly. “Miss Thorne, I have a question that I don’t understand. Can you answer it for me?”
Lysanne nodded. “Go ahead, Dr. Thorne.”
“Can family members stay overnight in the nursing home?”
Lysanne laughed meaningfully at that time. “Of course not.”
So, she still had to stay at the Guerra Group’s resort hotel.
What did she mean by not disturbing then?
Everyone understood the meaning of Lysanne’s words.
So, Lysander directly passed the decision on to Josiah. “I’m done asking. You decide.”
