Chapter 35 Awaiting The One He Truly Loves Josiah seemed to catch the implication, choosing to remain silent. Undeterred, Lysanne continued, “Perhaps she takes your efforts for granted because there’s no love in the relationship. ” “I’ve dealt with several divorce cases, and the pattern I’ve observed is consistent. In most cases, the wife tends to behave arrogantly, mistreat her husband, and assume the role of a queen. However, the wife often regrets her actions, apologizes, and refuses to separate when the relationship reaches the brink of divorce. ” Josiah felt slightly defensive and furrowed his brows. He retorted, “You don’t have to make insinuations like that. Offering to drive her to work was my idea. She never asked me to do anything. ” Lysanne couldn’t hide her frustration as she replied, “Yes, it was your idea. Yet, she accepted it. I’ve heard that two years ago, you risked your life to drive her to the hospital as she insisted on going during the typhoon in Harborbrook. ” “I don’t get it, Josiah. Whose life is more important, that of a stranger or yours? I couldn’t do it if I were in her shoes. ” The Uber driver chuckled as he smoked, remarking, “This couple is deeply in love. The husband worries about his pregnant wife going out alone, and the wife feels sorry for her husband wasting his time. It’s so lovely. ” Lysander smiled and agreed, “Yes, it’s lovely. ” Meanwhile, she mused, I’m a fool compared to their affectionate bond. I once foolishly believed Josiah stood in the rain, waiting for me. How ridiculous! He wasn’t waiting for me! He was waiting for the one he truly loved. Lysander, dear Lysander, when will you realize you’re just a replaceable stand-in? You’ve enjoyed a serene and warm life for these three years merely because your name resembles Lysanne’s. It’s all thanks to Lysanne! When she returned, you had already lost it. Send Gifts 170
