Chapter 245 The Girlfriend Of Aiden
Josiah pushed the door open and got out of the car, lighting up a cigarette.
This was the first time Lysander had directly seen him smoking.
He skillfully bit off a piece, held it between his lips, and lit it. The adept way he held the cigarette between his fingers inexplicably filled her with a sense of fear.
Is he still the Josiah I used to know?
As some parts of his body were inconvenient to show, he stood facing inward when he got out of the car. Lysander could clearly see the impatient and stern expression on his face.
She observed the man before her, noting his rogue-like demeanor. He seemed markedly different from the gentle and courteous version she had known for the past three years.
He took out his phone and made a call.
About five minutes later, as the cigarette burned out, he opened the car door and got in.
The smell of alcohol, mixed with the scent of smoke, along with the smell of air freshener in the car. made her feel somewhat suffocated.
Josiah noticed her slight action of covering her mouth and nose. He propped his hand on the back of the driver’s seat, leaned his body forward, and turned on the external circulation system.
Lysander said, “You might as well open the windows. It’s faster.”
Josiah sat back down. “I just want to be alone with you for a while. I don’t want to hear those noisy sounds from outside.
“The task you asked Daphne to find me for has basically worked.”
He took out his phone, gently tapped it a few times, and then handed it to her.
It was a WhatsApp chat record.
It wasn’t a screenshot but a real-time chat interface of WhatsApp
Harry: Are you off work yet? I’m already downstairs.
Harry: I’ve traveled around most of Harborbrook to buy your favorite donuts from that shop. They are freshly baked I’ve been keeping them warm with my body heat. They should still be hot when you get here.
Harry: Babe, are you free this weekend? I have a gathering with some of my good friends. I’ve known them for over a dude Shall we go together?
Harry By the way, I heard that your father seems to be suffering from back pain lately. I know an experienced traditional medicine practitioner who is very good ut acupuncture. When should we let him try acupuncture on your father?

Harry: Go to bed early. I’ll be waiting for you downstairs at your place at seven o’clock tomorrow morning.
Lysander frowned slightly. “Is this… Lora’s WhatsApp?
“Yeah, it’s a new account registered by Aiden. I know the username and password. I can log in at any time to check their progress.”
Lysander asked, “Who exactly is this Lora?”
“Aiden’s girlfriend.”
“Aiden has a girlfriend?”
“At this stage, yes.
“The two brothers are so different.”
Josiah raised his eyebrows. “Even after Zachary, you still think Adrian is better?”
Lysander glared at him. “At least he doesn’t play with a girl’s feelings.”
“But that doesn’t mean he hasn’t hurt a woman before. Adrian has had his fair share of romances abroad, leaving quite a few women in tears.”
“How is that the same?”
“It all ends with sadness. What’s the difference?” There was obvious sarcasm in Josiah’s words. “He’s just a better poser than Aiden.”
“You’re not even familiar with him. Is it appropriate for you to say that?”
“You’re not familiar with him either. Is it appropriate for you to speak up for him like this?”
Lysander was somewhat shocked by Josiah’s imposing manner.
“How much have you drunk today?”
The expression on Josiah’s face softened slightly. “Before you came, I had a drink with Mr. Reyes. He comes from a state-owned enterprise background. He’s an old hand at wining and dining and knows this business inside out. Since I needed a favor from him, it wasn’t appropriate to refuse.”
