Chapter 519 Three Days Late

The server took a few small packages from the bottom tier of her trolley and handed them to her.

Lysander realized they were sanitary pads from the brand she had always used.

The products were fresh and soft, suitable for both day and night use.

“Mr. Guerra mentioned that you might need these in the next few days, so he asked me to bring them over,” the server said.

Suddenly, Lysander recalled the conversation she had with Tiffany about buying sanitary pads in the car that day. He…

“Ms. Thome, feel free to let me know if you need anything else. I’ll make sure it’s taken care of promptly.”

Lysander took the pads over and said, “Thank you. That should be it.”

“All right. I’ll take my leave now. I’ll return shortly to collect the dishes.

“Hold on,” Lysander called out to the server. “Does your hotel sell lollipops?

The waitress was visibly baffled. “Lollipops? Do you need them? I’ll contact someone right away to buy them for you.”

“No need. I was just asking if they sell it in the hotel.”

“I’m sorry, Ms. Thorne, but we don’t sell lollipops in the hotel.”

Lysander thought. Where did that lollipop that Josiah brought back yesterday come from?

“Ms. Thorne, would you like some ginger tea? Although Mr. Guerra didn’t specify, it’s common knowledge that girls can find comfort in sipping some ginger tea during their menstruation period.”

“What’s the date today?”

“It’s the eighteenth. What’s the matter?”

Lysander mused. Eighteenth? My cycle has always been rather regular, typically occurring in the middle of the month. Moreover, a few days before my period started each time, I would experience a distinct feeling of heaviness and bloating in my lower abdomen. However, this time it has been postponed for three days, and I’m surprisingly still feeling nothing at all.

A sudden thought flashed through Lysander’s mind, causing her complexion to change instantly.

Upon seeing the situation, the server quickly asked, “Ms. Thorne, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell. again? I’ll go inform Mr. Guerra right away.”

“No need. Don’t go looking for him,” Lysander said, her face pale as she shook her head. She took a deep breath before asking, “Is there a car available to go down the mountain? Something urgent just came up, and I need to get to the hospital immediately.”

The server noticed Lysander’s look of urgency and, without bothering to ask what the latter was about to do, replied, “The bus down the mountain only comes every hour. If you’re in a rush, I can call a cab for

Without any hesitation, Lysander agreed, “All right. Arrange a car for me. I’m heading to the Central Hospital.”

“All right, okay, I’m on it. But Ms. Thorne, are you sure you don’t want to inform Mr. Guerra? He’s made it clear that we’re to report to him about any situation concerning you.”

After some thought, Lysander said, “If he asks, just tell him I went to the hospital to visit my sister.”

After saying that, Lysander returned to the room and unwrapped another lollipop, popping it into her mouth.

Fortunately, the sanitary pads reminded her of her period. Otherwise, she would’ve forgotten all about it.

As Lysander thought about it, her hands, which were folding the clothes, involuntarily shuddered, causing the garment she had just picked up to fall to the ground. She quickly picked it up, shook it clean, draped it over herself, and swiftly left the room.

“Mr. Guerra, we’re still in the initial stages of collaboration. Why would you suddenly announce the cancellation of the engagement to the public?”

Josiah cradled Aurora in his arms, giving her water to drink while he spoke. “The earlier announcement of our engagement was merely a temporary solution. Rest assured, Mr. Lanister, our collaboration will continue.

“Naturally, 1 believe you’re a man of your word. I’m just asking out of curiosity. What exactly happened that made you decide to announce this matter to the public ahead of schedule?”

Josiah softly asked, “Have you met Tiffany, Mr. Lanister?”

“Indeed. I appreciate how you’ve constantly looked after Tiff in Apex City, Mr. Guerra. She’s young and naive, often speaking without considering the weight of her words. I hope you can be patient with her, Mr. Guerra.”

“She’s not young anymore,” Josiah said. “At her age, I had already begun taking full control of the company. Even though you dote on Ms. Lanister greatly, there’s no need to treat her like a child at all times. She’s no longer a child, neither in age nor in mentality.”

Dillon hesitated for a moment before asking, “Mr. Guerra, I’m not quite sure what you mean?”

“I didn’t mean much by it,” Josiah said. “Aren’t you also impatient for Tiffany to get a boyfriend, Mr. Lanister? Announcing the dissolution of the engagement as soon as possible will be beneficial for her too.”

“You have a point, Mr. Guerra.” Dillon paused before cautiously adding, “If you don’t mind me asking, have you already made plans, Mr. Guerra?”

Josiah glanced up, his gaze slightly frosty. “What are you trying to ask, Mr. Lanister?”

“No, no. I’m just wondering… Since your heart belonged to Ms. Lysanne previously, I wouldn’t dare to entertain such thoughts. But now that you and Ms. Lysanne have clearly separated, there’s no longer a woman by your side. Not to brag, although Tiff may not be a nation’s beauty, she’s at least a delicate beauty. Plus, she’s well–behaved and obedient, nothing like Ms. Lysanne. Both of you are single and know each other well, so maybe you could-

Without even looking up, Josiah said, “Mr. Lanister, you’re quite ambitious, aren’t you? Not only do you aspire to be my business partner but also my father–in–law?”

In a fluster, Mr. Lanister quickly clarified, “No, no, I wouldn’t dare. I’m merely speaking from a father’s perspective. I’m deeply worried about Tiff’s future. We’ve spoiled her too much, and at her age, she’s still far too naive. I’ve mentioned this to you before, but I’m genuinely concerned that she might be deceived by some despicable boys. Instead of that, it would be better if she could be with you. That way, both her mom and I could rest easy.”

“I see.”

“Exactly, Mr. Guerra. Since you don’t have children, you wouldn’t understand the feelings of a parent. Having a son is one thing, but being a father to a daughter, it’s truly distressing.”

Josiah glanced at Aurora in his arms, his smile softening a bit. “You’re right. If I had a daughter, I’d worry about her being deceived by despicable boys too.”

“Isn’t that the truth? Alas” Mr. Lanister sighed heavily. “I know Tiff is certainly punching above her weight by being with you. However, while Tiff may not have other merits, she’s absolutely pure–hearted, unscheming, and has a good temperament. She’s also easy to get along with. Having to face cunning and deceit in your work every day, I suppose you just yearn for some peace of mind when you return home, don’t you agree?”

Pure–hearted? Josiah gave a light chuckle.

There was a time when he thought that Lysanne was pure–hearted, albeit a little haughty.

However, those past experiences had served as vivid lessons for him.

Josiah pondered for a moment before saying, “Tiffany is indeed a wonderful girl, but we’re not a good match. Firstly, there’s a significant age gap between us. I’ve always seen her as a little sister. There’s a lack of any romantic feelings between us. Secondly, I’m a divorcee. It would be more suitable for Tiffany to find a young man of similar age who has never been married before.”

“Divorce isn’t a big deal,” Mr. Lanister quickly said. “Once you’ve been through a divorce, you’ll understand. why your ex–wife wasn’t the right fit. It’s all a learning experience for the future.”

“Who said she wasn’t the right one?”

Mr. Lanister choked up. “I’m sorry?”

Josiah glanced at his watch and rose to his feet, holding Aurora. “Let’s consider this matter settled. I’ll our PR department draft an official statement and send it to you. Both our companies can release it simultaneously. As for the details of our collaboration, our legal department is still working on it. We’ll keep Riveron Corporation updated as soon as there’s any progress. I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t be able to join you for lunch. Please, make yourself comfortable.”

Dillon slowly rose to his feet as well. “Mr. Guerra, does Tiff really stand no chance at all?”

“My heart already belongs to someone.”

–

“May I ask who that person is?”

Tiffany knows. Why don’t you ask her?”
