Chapter 481 Dawn After Sex
âOh wow, Jose, you have friends who are into perfume research?â asked Tiffany.
âMhm,â replied Josiah.
âCould you introduce me to him next time? Iâm quite fond of perfumes, too!â
Josiah chuckled lightly. âGetting curious again?â
Tiffany chuckled.
âAll right, when the opportunity arises, Iâll ask him if heâs willing to meet you.â
âIs he socially anxious?â
âYou can say that.â
âNo worries. Werenât you going to introduce me to your beloved? Invite him along. He might feel more at ease with more people around.â
Upon hearing those words, Lysander felt a vague sense of unease. âHis beloved?â
Tiffany said with a chuckle, âIndeed, the person Jose truly cherishes isnât Lyss, you know.â
Lysander was bewildered. âBut you two⦠Arenât youâ¦
âOh, itâs all just for show,â Tiffany said. âJoseâs 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 halfâunderstood, but the first part of the conversation had left her feeling somewhat uneasy.
âYouâre a very good woman,â Lysander said. âYouâre not inferior to anyone.â
Tiffany was clearly touched. âLysa, you really know how to comfort people. However, I know Iâm 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!â
Josiah cleared his throat. âTiffany, thereâs no need to bring up the past anymore.â
âOh, okay.â
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, âOh right, this is considered a personal matter between you and Lyss. I shouldnât have brought it up.â

She chastised herself a bit and stuck out her tongue.
Lysander comforted. âEvery woman is wonderful in her own way. As long as you donât hurt others and live with a clear conscience, thereâs no need to feel inferior. The flawless womanâ in othersâ eyes might just be
She paused for a moment, refraining from using excessively harsh words in front of Tiffany. âPerhaps. such a woman is just an ordinary person.â
Tiffany was somewhat confused, blinking.
Lysander continued, âYouâre actually really adorable and kindâhearted. You worry about me when Iâm sick and in discomfort, and you also worry about Josiah fainting. Also, you know how to draw, and when you saw that I hadnât come down, you took the initiative to serve me chicken broth. Youâre always considering others, and thatâs your strength. Youâre a very wonderful woman, so you should be confident and believe that you deserve all the beauty this world has to offer.â
The corners of Tiffanyâs eyes had turned slightly red. âLysaâ¦â
Seeing Tiffanyâs undeniable adorableness, Lysander reached out to adjust the bow in the formerâs hair. âSo, stop comparing yourself to others, okay?â
âMy academic performance is really poor, though. I couldnât get into a good high school in our country, which was why my dad sent me abroad.â
âBut youâre quite skilled at drawing. Everyone has their own strengths.â
âLysa, youâve never seen me draw before. How do you know that Iâm good at it?â
âI guessed it.â
âLysa, youâre just trying to comfort me.â
âThough I donât quite understand art, Iâve heard that those who are into it are incredibly pure of heart. They remain untainted by the mundanity of the world, just
like youâ
With a soft cry, Tiffany threw herself into Lysanderâs embrace. âLysa, youâre so kind.â
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.
âLysa, you remind me of my mother,â remarked Tiffany.
Lysander was slightly taken aback. âHuh?â
âNo, no, thatâs not what I meant. I mean, you radiate a special kind of maternal warmth, like a gentle, comforting glow.â
âMaybe itâs because Iâve been in the obstetrics and gynecology department for too long.â
âLysaâ
âHmm?â

âYour child must be especially happy.â
Lysander was taken aback.
The smile on Josiah also froze.
Lysander gently pushed Tiffany away and resettled herself. âI⦠I might not be a good mother.â
Tiffany insisted. âWhy would you say that? You definitely are.â
âIâm selfish.â Lysander confessed. âI gave her up because I didnât want to invite trouble into my later years.â
Tiffany was once again puzzled. âLysa, do you have a child? Iâve never heard about it before.â
Lysander shook her head, âNo.â
âBut you said-
Lysander took a deep breath. âItâs all in the past now. Letâs not bring it up again.â
Tiffany nodded, halfâunderstanding. âOh, all right.â
Beep!
The shrill sound of a horn suddenly blared.
Josiah apologized, somewhat flustered, âIâm sorry, I accidentally pressed it.â
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. âBy 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.â
Amy again, Lysander asked, âWho is Amy?â
Tiffany said, âAmy is just like you, Lysa. Both of you are friends of Jose. She works at Skywatch. Weâve met a few times.â
âSheâs working at Skywatch?â
Josiah explained, âItâs Amelia, the one youâve met before at Skywatch.
Lysander recalled and asked, âThe one who watched the stars and the moon together?â
Josiah offered no reply.
I see. It was the lady with red lips and curly hair. Lysander said, âIn that case, Iâm afraid I might not be quite the same as her.â At the very least, Iâm 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. âAmy is only a few years older than me, but sheâs both intelligent and beautiful, and she has a particularly wonderful singing voice, too.â

Lysander was clearly not interested. âOh, I see.â
Tiffany nodded, yet couldnât help but ask Josiah, âJose, has your friend named this perfume yet? If not, could I perhaps-â
âIt has a name,â responded Josiah,
âReally? Whatâs it called?â.
Josiah paused for a moment, then responded, âDawn after Sex.â
What is he saying? Suddenly, Lysander lifted her eyes shot Josiah a glance. âWhat nonsense are you talking about?â
Just as Josiah was about to explain, Tiffany said, âIsnât there already a perfume with this name? Why use the same name? Itâs not ideal to have the same name as a different perfume, right?â
It was Lysanderâs turn to be stunned. âThereâs actually a perfume named that?â
âThere is, and theyâre even differentiated into a male and female version, each with its distinct scent. Itâs said that mixing the male and female versions creates another unique scent. However, Iâm not too fond of this perfume. I prefer Super Cedar. It smells so cool!â
Lysander was left speechless.
In the end, she had underestimated the level of openness that was acceptable abroad..
