Chapter 481 Dawn After Sex
“Oh wow, Jose, you have friends who are into perfume research?” asked Tiffany.
“Mhm,” replied Josiah.
“Could you introduce me to him next time? I’m quite fond of perfumes, too!”
Josiah chuckled lightly. “Getting curious again?”
Tiffany chuckled.
“All right, when the opportunity arises, I’ll ask him if he’s willing to meet you.”
“Is he socially anxious?”
“You can say that.”
“No worries. Weren’t you going to introduce me to your beloved? Invite him along. He might feel more at ease with more people around.”
Upon hearing those words, Lysander felt a vague sense of unease. “His beloved?”
Tiffany said with a chuckle, “Indeed, the person Jose truly cherishes isn’t Lyss, you know.”
Lysander was bewildered. “But you two… Aren’t you…
“Oh, it’s all just for show,” Tiffany said. “Jose’s last crush was Lyss, a flawless woman. How could he possibly fall for someone like me? We just say that to the public. In reality, Josiah and my dad are just business partners.
After hearing it, Lysander only half–understood, but the first part of the conversation had left her feeling somewhat uneasy.
“You’re a very good woman,” Lysander said. “You’re not inferior to anyone.”
Tiffany was clearly touched. “Lysa, you really know how to comfort people. However, I know I’m definitely not as good as Lyss. You have no idea how many boys chased after her when she was in school! I was still very young then, and so many older boys would rush to buy me lollipops, asking me to deliver love letters. for them!”
Josiah cleared his throat. “Tiffany, there’s no need to bring up the past anymore.”
“Oh, okay.”
Lysander lifted her gaze, only to find that Josiah was also looking at her through the rearview mirror.
Perhaps it was due to his unusually subdued demeanor from the night before that Lysander dared to glare directly at him.
Josiah received her disdainful look, yet he laughed:
Tiffany replied, “Oh right, this is considered a personal matter between you and Lyss. I shouldn’t have brought it up.”

She chastised herself a bit and stuck out her tongue.
Lysander comforted. “Every woman is wonderful in her own way. As long as you don’t hurt others and live with a clear conscience, there’s no need to feel inferior. The flawless woman‘ in others‘ eyes might just be
She paused for a moment, refraining from using excessively harsh words in front of Tiffany. “Perhaps. such a woman is just an ordinary person.”
Tiffany was somewhat confused, blinking.
Lysander continued, “You’re actually really adorable and kind–hearted. You worry about me when I’m sick and in discomfort, and you also worry about Josiah fainting. Also, you know how to draw, and when you saw that I hadn’t come down, you took the initiative to serve me chicken broth. You’re always considering others, and that’s your strength. You’re a very wonderful woman, so you should be confident and believe that you deserve all the beauty this world has to offer.”
The corners of Tiffany’s eyes had turned slightly red. “Lysa…”
Seeing Tiffany’s undeniable adorableness, Lysander reached out to adjust the bow in the former’s hair. “So, stop comparing yourself to others, okay?”
“My academic performance is really poor, though. I couldn’t get into a good high school in our country, which was why my dad sent me abroad.”
“But you’re quite skilled at drawing. Everyone has their own strengths.”
“Lysa, you’ve never seen me draw before. How do you know that I’m good at it?”
“I guessed it.”
“Lysa, you’re just trying to comfort me.”
“Though I don’t quite understand art, I’ve heard that those who are into it are incredibly pure of heart. They remain untainted by the mundanity of the world, just
like you”
With a soft cry, Tiffany threw herself into Lysander’s embrace. “Lysa, you’re so kind.”
Lysander gently embraced Tiffany, feeling a significant warmth spreading in her heart.
At the corner of her eye, she noticed Josiah watching them through the rearview mirror, smiling.
“Lysa, you remind me of my mother,” remarked Tiffany.
Lysander was slightly taken aback. “Huh?”
“No, no, that’s not what I meant. I mean, you radiate a special kind of maternal warmth, like a gentle, comforting glow.”
“Maybe it’s because I’ve been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for too long.”
“Lysa”
“Hmm?”

“Your child must be especially happy.”
Lysander was taken aback.
The smile on Josiah also froze.
Lysander gently pushed Tiffany away and resettled herself. “I… I might not be a good mother.”
Tiffany insisted. “Why would you say that? You definitely are.”
“I’m selfish.” Lysander confessed. “I gave her up because I didn’t want to invite trouble into my later years.”
Tiffany was once again puzzled. “Lysa, do you have a child? I’ve never heard about it before.”
Lysander shook her head, “No.”
“But you said-
Lysander took a deep breath. “It’s all in the past now. Let’s not bring it up again.”
Tiffany nodded, half–understanding. “Oh, all right.”
Beep!
The shrill sound of a horn suddenly blared.
Josiah apologized, somewhat flustered, “I’m sorry, I accidentally pressed it.”
Seeing that the other two seemed to be in a rather foul mood, Tiffany decided not to continue on that topic. She obediently settled down, keeping quiet.
After a considerable amount of time, perhaps sensing the atmosphere was getting awkward, Tiffany cautiously broached a new topic. “By the way, Jose, the perfume your friend gave you has a truly unique scent. I must tell Amy about it the next time I see her.”
Amy again, Lysander asked, “Who is Amy?”
Tiffany said, “Amy is just like you, Lysa. Both of you are friends of Jose. She works at Skywatch. We’ve met a few times.”
“She’s working at Skywatch?”
Josiah explained, “It’s Amelia, the one you’ve met before at Skywatch.
Lysander recalled and asked, “The one who watched the stars and the moon together?”
Josiah offered no reply.
I see. It was the lady with red lips and curly hair. Lysander said, “In that case, I’m afraid I might not be quite the same as her.” At the very least, I’m a bona fide doctor and not a social butterfly at karaoke.
Tiffany bore no ill will toward Amelia. Instead, she held a certain degree of admiration for her, like a young girl looking up to someone older. “Amy is only a few years older than me, but she’s both intelligent and beautiful, and she has a particularly wonderful singing voice, too.”

Lysander was clearly not interested. “Oh, I see.”
Tiffany nodded, yet couldn’t help but ask Josiah, “Jose, has your friend named this perfume yet? If not, could I perhaps-”
“It has a name,” responded Josiah,
“Really? What’s it called?“.
Josiah paused for a moment, then responded, “Dawn after Sex.”
What is he saying? Suddenly, Lysander lifted her eyes shot Josiah a glance. “What nonsense are you talking about?”
Just as Josiah was about to explain, Tiffany said, “Isn’t there already a perfume with this name? Why use the same name? It’s not ideal to have the same name as a different perfume, right?”
It was Lysander’s turn to be stunned. “There’s actually a perfume named that?”
“There is, and they’re even differentiated into a male and female version, each with its distinct scent. It’s said that mixing the male and female versions creates another unique scent. However, I’m not too fond of this perfume. I prefer Super Cedar. It smells so cool!”
Lysander was left speechless.
In the end, she had underestimated the level of openness that was acceptable abroad..
