Chapter 268 I Will Not Turn Back
Zachary laughed heartily, not forgetting to say to Lysander, “Lysander, give me ten years. If I succeed, I’ll come back and take you away… Hey! I’m not finished yet!”
The car sped off like an arrow.
Josiah irritably yanked off his tie and tossed it aside. “He sure talks a lot.”
After a while, he still hadn’t calmed down.
Lysander asked, “So, is the deal settled now?”
“Those three projects are Guerra Group’s most important strategic projects for the next few years. With those projects, wherever he goes, he’ll be well-respected.”
Lysander didn’t fully understand, but she got the gist of it.
Zachary had put in so much effort. There was no way he would let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity easily.
“Thank you for handling this,” Lysander said. “When we divorced, I didn’t ask for a share of our joint assets. Consider it compensating for your loss this time. Is that enough?”
“What if it’s not enough? Will you make up for it?”
“I’m kidding. Don’t be so serious. I want you to be happy when you’re with me.”
“Josiah.”
“Yes?”
“I won’t remarry you.”
This time it was his turn to be silent.
“After this matter is over, we’ll go our separate ways. I’m a pretty tough person and not very y romantic. You don’t need to waste your time on me. It’s useless.”
Josiah said, “Don’t talk about yourself like that. I understand that you can’t accept me right now, but you don’t have to be so absolute. Who knows what might happen in the future?”
“No matter what happens, I won’t turn back.”
“If I turn back, then what does the child we lost count for?”
Buzz!
Josiah’s phone vibrated again.

“That’s not appropriate.”
“It’s from Lora. Just look at her messages and ignore the rest. It won’t be inappropriate then.”
Lysander hesitated but then picked up his phone.
She entered the password with practiced case.
She knew it was Lysanne’s birthday.
However, the system indicated the password was incorrect.
“Did you change your phone password?”
“Yes.””
“To what?”
“The day our child died.”
Lysander’s hand trembled, and the phone nearly slipped from her grasp.
Josiah exhaled in pain. “Go ahead.”
Lysander’s hands were shaking uncontrollably as she entered the digits, finally getting them right on the third try.
She opened the message from Lora, which contained a screenshot.
Harry: Babe, I’m sorry I got caught up with urgent work these past two days. Please don’t be mad at me, okay
Harry: I didn’t mean to ignore your messages.
Harry: I made dinner reservations for tonight. I’ll pick you up after work and apologize properly. You can punis me however you want, okay?
Harry: This morning, I talked to a friend who told me some things that made me misunderstand you, but I understand everything now. When we meet, I’ll explain it all. Give me another chance, okay?
Harry: Babe, please respond when you see this. Otherwise, All be worried all day.
Lysander looked at the repeated “babe” and felt nauseous.
Josiah glanced over. “Is it about Harry?”
“Yes, he’s back to begging Lora for forgiveness.”
“That means Zachary kept his promise.” Josiah chuckled. “He’s afraid I’d really kill him if I went crazy.”
Lysander suddenly felt curious. “Were you really that crazy before?”
