Chapter 376 You Are Incapable
Lysander let out a self–deprecating chuckle. “Perhaps she wanted to publicly label me as the one who tried- to seduce her fiance?”
Adrian was instantly filled with disdain.
Lysander was somewhat exasperated. “I never thought that even in Stounia, they would still be bothering me.”
“If you’re truly determined to end it, you’ll undoubtedly be able to do so.”
“How am I supposed to do that?” Lysander asked. “You know I’ve tried everything. I even stopped using my phone when I first arrived in Stounia.”
It’s simple. Find someone and get married.”
Lysander went silent.
“Once you’re married and have a husband in the eyes of the law, all of Josiah’s schemes will be pointless. No matter how powerful he is, he can’t surpass the law,” he said.
Adrian’s gaze was unwavering and fervent, causing a sense of unease to stir within Lysander’s heart.
Consequently, she had no choice but to lower her gaze to her own toes, avoiding his stare.
“You still don’t want to cut ties with him,” he uttered.
“I do!”
“Why didn’t you speak up, then? It’s clear that my suggestion is the most straightforward.”
Lysander took a deep breath and said, “Marriage is a serious matter. I don’t want to take advantage of
anyone.”
“What if this person is willing to be taken advantage of by you?”
“Dr. Sutton, could you please not do this?”
They were both adults. From the moment he proposed marriage, they both comprehended his intentions.
Precisely because she understood, she felt incredibly troubled.
Ever since she saw that oil painting in his house, she felt uncomfortable.
“Lysander, do you have any reservations?”
Lysander was in distress. “This is not a matter of concern.”
“What’s the issue?”
“I’m incapable of giving you/what you want.”

Lysander slightly lifted her gaze. Having known him for so long, that was the first time she felt that Adrian was somewhat aggressive.
Gritting her teeth, she said resolutely, “I’ve told you. I don’t like you that way.”
“Yes. You did mention that.”
“Why would I marry someone I don’t fancy?”
“Who said that marriage must involve affection? In some ways, I agree with you. The foundation of marriage doesn’t necessarily require a great deal of love. You didn’t like Josiah, and Josiah didn’t like you back then either, but your marriage still managed to work out line. If it weren’t for Lysanne’s unexpected interference, you two could have continued to maintain a harmonious and calm relationship. So, if Josiah could do it, why not me?”
This isn’t fair to you.” Lysander said. “In my marriage with Josiah, neither of us really loved each other, so it didn’t matter. You’re different. You are-
“I like you.
Lysander kept silent for a while.
Even though she knew it in her heart, when Lysander actually heard those three words, she still felt a slight tremor in her heart.
Regardless of whether it was Josiah or Zachary, in truth, they were both putting on a performance,
The difference was merely that one was acting with sincerity, while the other had ulterior motives in mind.
However, these two individuals had never once told her they liked her.
Those three words were more than just a confession of love. They also represented an attitude.
The person
who first voiced their feelings was actually choosing to be at a disadvantage in the relationship. They were willing to compromise first, to yield first, to adopt a submissive stance, to be in a passive position, waiting for the other party to deliver a verdict.
How would other girls react upon hearing these words? Charmed? Joy! Being moved? Happiness? Lysander couldn’t find the words to describe her feelings at that moment. All she could do was continuously shake her head. “No. It really won’t work.”
