His Beloved Ex-Wife

Chapter 751 The Ones Together Lysander momentarily fluttered her eyelashes without speaking.

Josiah was in no rush. He asked her with a smile, "Will you be coming again this afternoon?" "No, the seminar I was most interested in is already over. If I stay any longer, the baby might get bored," Lysander said. Looking at Aurora in the baby stroller who was laughing heartily, she reached out to playfully tickle her. "Where would you like to go play?" Her usually cold and aloof tone involuntarily softened when she communicated with Aurora.

The baby was remarkably perceptive of adult emotions. With a series of coos and gurgles, she reached out, wanting Lysander to hold her. Although her words were incomprehensible, a few clear words could still be made out. "Mommy... hold me..." It was about tfor the one-year-old baby to start learning to speak.

No one usually taught her to say "Mommy" or "Daddy." It was unknown who she had learned this from. Lysander's eyes welled up with tears.

Had she not chosen to terminate her pregnancy back then, by now she would likely have been teaching her daughter to speak.

Josiah's thoughts mirrored Lysander's perfectly. He paused, his expression so complex that it was hard to discern his feelings at that moment. That was until Aurora suddenly pouted and burst into tears again.

Before children learn to speak, their means of expressing their inner emotions are extremely limited, with crying being the most effective method.

Lysander quickly glanced around, noticing no one or nothing that could possibly startle her. Turning back to her, she started to consider other possibilities. "Could she be hungry?" "She drinks formula milk every three hours. I just fed her half an hour ago." Josiah remembered this particularly well.

Lysander was just about to check if Aurora's clothes were bringing her discomfort, or if something was bothering her. Suddenly, she felt a damp sensation from the hand she was holding her and immediately asked, "Did you change her diaper?" Josiah awkwardly rubbed his nose. "It was a bit inconvenient for me... so I asked the staff to helpchange it once." Though Aurora was still young, far from the age where she could comprehend the concept of gender, he hadn't even successfully beca godfather yet, making stasks truly inconvenient.

Lysander noticed his awkwardness, his hands and feet seemingly not knowing where to place themselves. She didn't tease or joke with him; instead, she picked up a diaper and Aurora's change of clothes and headed toward the nursing room. When she cout, she asked with a mix of amusement and exasperation, "You must have asked a young lady to help you, huh?" Josiah didn't understand why she was asking this, but he nodded in affirmation.

Lysander's smile grew even brighter. "Their diaper changing skills are about on par with yours. One side wasn't fastened properly. They clearly lack experience with children." When it cto the experience of caring for children, Josiah, who had spent stlearning from Eleanor, might be even better equipped.

Josiah wanted to say that he actually knew how to change diapers, but it was simply awkward for him to do so for a baby girl. However, as the words reached the tip of his tongue, he remembered why he had initially learned these things and couldn't bring himself to say it out loud.

The atmosphere was so pleasant now that rectifying past mistakes seemed somewhat like a buzzkill.

Josiah deftly removed Aurora's dirty clothes, stowing them in the laundry bag at the bottom of the baby stroller. He had becadept at this, knowing what to do next without needing Lysander's reminders. He was fully exemplifying the admirable virtue of diligence and thrift.

If this were in the past before he had experienced the life of an ordinary person, with his unfamiliar understanding of worldly hardships, he would likely have chosen to discard it and simply buy a new one.

Having lived in the village for a while, he underwent a complete transformation. The last tthey met, he gave Aiden and the others quite a shock.

After doing all these, Josiah turned and asked Lysander, "Would it be too much of a hassle to go back to the hotel to change clothes? How about we just buy something new from a nearby mall?" He hadn't caught sight of Adrian all this while, worrying that he might have actually gone back to the hotel for a midday rest.

Lysander's thoughts were still not completely detached from the medical seminar she had attended earlier that day. When it cto processing matters, she was always straightforward, never one to beat around the bush. This was especially true in the realm of emotions, an area where she was admittedly slow. Without any hesitation, she said, "All right." Wandering around outside in clothes soaked with baby urine was truly a test of Josiah's cleanliness standards.

He had never been as grateful for Lysander's slowness as he was at that very moment. He had visited the mall the previous night to purchase a windbreaker, so he was quite familiar with the route. In no tat all, he had led Lysander and Aurora to their destination.

Lysander wasn't too particular about her clothes and appearance as long as they were comfortable and tidy. Josiah headed straight to the couture section habitually, intending to select a suitable ready-to-wear outfit for her. But just as they reached the entrance, Lysander decisively made a turn. "I'm here on vacation, and I also need to find tfor the kids. There's no need for attire suitable for fashion week." With that, she walked straight into the store of a certain fast-selling brand.

Josiah trailed behind, pushing the baby stroller, quickly adapting to his new shopping style. It was as if he was carrying a basket, casually tossing clothes into it, much like one would while grocery shopping.

After the unique experience of buying clothes in the town's wholesale mall, his worldview was temporarily safe from being upended.

Lysander shopped for clothes swiftly. After glancing at the tags, she quickly tossed the fitting ones into her basket. Then, with remarkable efficiency, she proceeded to check out.

Josiah lagged a few steps behind her. Instead of catching up immediately, he selected a men's hoodie based on the design chosen by Lysander.

The line of clothing seemed to be a collaboration with a certain comic series. The piece that Lysander wore featured the female lead, while the one he picked out next had the male lead printed on it.

Seeing him shopping for clothes, Lysander asked in surprise, "Are you comfortable wearing these? Besides, your clothes aren't even dirty." Josiah was adamant. "We both packed too lightly. We need to prepare extra sets of clothes. What if we encounter a situation like this again?" He was terrified that Lysander would see through his sole intention of wanting to wear matching outfits with her, so he paid the bill without a moment's hesitation.

Lysander had cto buy new clothes just to replace the dirty ones she was wearing. As soon as she got her hands on the clothes, she immediately went to the restroom to change. Upon seeing her cout, Josiah promptly handed Aurora over to her and also went to the restroom. By the the cout, he had already changed into his new clothes. Now that the two of them were outside, there was no longer any need for him to explain their relationship to outsiders. It was obvious they were a married couple.

Lysander, however, misunderstood. She hesitated before saying, "I didn't expect you to like this comic." Josiah fell silent.

Had he known earlier that Lysander had such unique thinking, he would have bought it outright. After all, she didn't think of it as matching outfits.

"I read the comic when I was a kid," he said, looking down at the sketch on his hoodie, trying to recall the content.

Lysander had clearly read more than him. "When I was in elementary school, this comic series was stilh being released. Eventually, there were Ε. so many volumes that I couldn't keep up, so I stopped following it. But Daphne never missed any of the series. The current plot is quite complex." A thought crossed Josiah's mind. "Didn't the male and female leads end up together?"

For people of their age, the comics they had read in their youth were mostly concluded, with only a few stubborn ones stil oh ones still persevering. As O.

for the plot, it was like a runaway horse, and the characters were increasing in number. However, even if they revisited it after half a year, they wouldn't feel disconnected from the context. The majority of the people who were still following along were doing so for the sake of nostalgia. Rather than saying they were invested in the plot, it was more accurate to say they were waiting for a satisfying conclusion.

Josiah himself didn't pursue such things, but he was quite familiar with these types of plots. Naturally, he assumed that at the very least, the male and female leads would have a happy ending.

Lysander hesitated before saying, "There's something I'm not sure if I should say. It might ruin your beautiful childhood memories. If you haven't read the ending, you might not want to." "It can't possibly be a tragic ending, right?" Alarm bells were ringing in Josiah's head.

Lysander shook her head. "Not I.ne

exactly. The male lead ended up with the prominent young lady who had a secret crush on him, while the female lead ended up with the second male ended up with lead she had liked since childhood.

Daphne is a fan of the pairing between the male lead and the second male lead. She spent a long tcomplaining toabout the unsatisfactory ending." These clothes seem to bring bad luck.

Josiah lowered his head, looking again and again. He wanted to change into a hoodie that bore the image of the second male lead, but there was no time. Moreover, he wasn't willing to play the second male tead. With a determined heart, he said, "It doesn't matter. As long as I don't read the ending, the ones together are the main characters."
