“Daddy, Aunty, what are you guys talking about?“
Nellie noticed that Luna and Joshua had been looking at her. She ran over, smiling brighter than the sun.
Joshua glanced at Luna. He raised his hands and patted Nellie's head. “Nothing much. Do you like the dress?“
“I do! “ Nellie's voice was bright as a bell. “Mommy made this herself for me. I love it!“
While moving about, a little ornament on the back of her dress fell off.
Luna furrowed her brows. “Don't simply move about.“
Nellie obediently stopped moving.
Luna picked up the fallen ornament. “Bring me the box.“
“Hmm! “ Nellie ran to get the box over.
“Do I have to take the dress off?“ Nellie asked innocently with a cocked head.
“No need.“ Luna took out the needle and thread from the bottom compartment of the box with ease. “Turn around.“ Nellie obediently did so.
Luna skillfully threaded the needle, placed the
ornament back to its original position, and sewed it up.
After that, she let out a long breath. She checked up on Nellie's dress once more before putting the needle and thread back into the box.
She made this dress a very long time ago. Back then, she had just begun learning how to make this dress. Her method and technique were not good enough yet.
Looking at it at that moment, there were quite a lot of mistakes made on the dress.
She put the box back and lifted her head. She immediately met with Joshua's eyes.
He looked at her. “You seem to be familiar with the box and dress.“
He personally went to Emerald City, to the place where Luna used to live, to search for the box.
Whether it be her place or the box, it was covered in dust. Clearly, no one has been there for a very long time. The box has not been opened by anyone too, yet Luna could accurately locate the needle and thread at the bottom compartment.
This was surprising.
Facing his dangerous-looking gaze, previously Luna perhaps might panic, but at that moment, she calmly smiled.
“I used to work as a tailor. The dress's structure is a simple one. Clearly done by an amateur. It's nothing too challenging. Also, lots of people would put needles and thread in the box out of habit.“
Then, she looked at Joshua. “It's not surprising that I could guess where it was. Mr. Lynch, you, on the other hand. You loved your ex-wife so deeply, how could you not know that she was an amateur? You don't even know her sewing habits.“
Joshua was caught off guard.
He admitted that he never truly cared for Luna Gibson in the past. Joshua's eyes dimmed. “When she made this dress, I was not by her side.“
“Only when she was making this dress?“
No matter what she did back then, he never once accompanied her. Even when she went for the doctor's check-up on her pregnancy, she went alone.
At first, she thought that he was busy, that he was a man who put his career first.
She even kindly let Aura become his secretary, to help him share his workload.
What happened then? They had an affair together.
Luna could even imagine that every time he claimed that he was on a business trip, how happy Aura and he would be having fun.
She was perhaps the most foolish person in the world. “Luna.“
Her constant provocations made Joshua frowned hard. He glared at her coldly. “This is not something you should ask. Don't think that just because it's your last day here, I will allow you to cross the line and invade my privacy.“
Luna paused for a while before sneering, “I'm sorry. I was just casually asking. I didn't expect to hit a sore spot with you, Mr. Lynch.“
She stood up and bowed arrogantly. “I'm sorry, Sir. I won't do it again."
Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at going up the stairs, Joshua furrowed his brows hard.
This woman was getting more and more arrogant. “Daddy, don't be angry at Aunty." Nellie seemed to have noticed Joshua's fury. She carefully went closer toward him and tugged on the corner of his clothes. “ Aunty is just in a bad mood because she is going to be separated from me. Don't make it hard for her."

Joshua lowered his eyes. Looking at his daughter's sparkling eyes, his heart softened.
He hugged Nellie in his arms. “You are too innocent.“
How could Luna be unhappy because she was leaving?
She was the one that insisted on leaving. It was not as if he did not give her a chance. He waited for her the entire night the night before, yet she did not even appear.
Why pretend that she was reluctant and in a bad mood at that moment?
At that thought, Joshua sighed. “Let's eat. After lunch, I'11 bring Lucas to let you piek out a new servant, okay?“
Nellie bit her lips and nodded. “Okay.“
After Mommy leaves, she did need a person who could take good care of her. Although Nellie felt that she could be independent, her brothers and Mommy insisted that she has someone take care of her.
After lunch, Lucas took Nellie downstairs to a meeting room in the Blue Bay Villa.
A row of women was standing respectfully in a line.
“Little princess, these are the women that applied to be your servant. Mr. Lynch said to let you pick.“
Nellie nodded and walked over.
Too big, no.
Too thin, no.
Too fierce, no.
When Nellie saw the fourth woman, her eyes sparkled. She almost let out a scream.
This woman was Lily, the servant who has been working at Uncle Malcolm's!
Lily noticed that Nellie recognized her. She winked at Nellie.
Nellie made her decision immediately. “Her! “ Lucas was stumped and confused.
This woman was skinny and petite. She could barely compete with the first few, so why did Nellie immediately pick her?
After picking Lily, Nellie had another look at the other women. She noticed that there were two more servants from Malcolm's household.
She chose them too.
“Little princess, you're as decisive as your father, “ Lucas said emotionally, then he got the other women to leave.
Whether it was picking Luna or picking Lily and the other two, Nellie made her decision firmly.
This decisive way of doing things was exactly like her father.
When Lucas left, Nellie immediately took Lily and the others upstairs.
Luna was still packing up upstairs.
Seeing Nellie bringing three women up, Luna laughed bitterly. “New servants?“
“Old ones.“ Before Nellie could say anything, Lily behind her said, “Ms. Luna, it's us.“
This familiar voice...
Luna immediately turned around.
Behind Nellie were three women from Malcolm's house. They were the servants that took care of her three children previously!
Luna was surprised and delighted. “Why are you all here?“
“Young Master Nigel sent us here.“
Lily chuckled. “He is worried for his sister, so he purposely got Mr. Quinn to send us over.“
Luna was stunned, but she was deeply moved. Although Nigel did not talk much, he cared a lot for his siblings.
Luna took a deep breath. “Nigel got you all to come, is Malcolm alright with it?“
“He is,“ Lily smiled and said, “Mr. Quinn sent us to Banyan City himself.“
“He's here?“ Luna furrowed her brows. “Where is he?“
If he was in Banyan City, why did he not contact her?
“Mr. Quinn said that you'll be seeing him tonight, don't worry.“
Luna's heart skipped a beat.
She would be able to see him tonight?
”Is he planning on attending Granny Lynch's birthday banquet tonight?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 113 online free
When Nellie took Lily back to her room, Luna went to the garden in the backyard to give Malcolm a call.
Once the call went through, Malcolm at the other end of the call chuckled. “You saw Lily?“
Nellie sighed helplessly, “I never would have thought that you would send them here yourself.“
“I happened to have a business meeting in the country, so I just took them along. I did not send them here on purpose.“
“It just happened to be such a coincidence?“
Malcolm was silent for a while. Then, he laughed. “No, not really. I missed Neil and Nellie. I miss you a little too.“
Luna's heart skipped a beat.
After being silent for a long time, she sighed, “Are you going to Granny Lynch's birthday banquet tonight too?“
“Hmm.“ Malcolm smiled faintly. “I want to see who are the people who used to bully you.“
Luna closed her eyes. She had so many things she wanted to say to him, but when he picked up the call, she could not form her words.
After a while, she smiled helplessly. “Then, see you tonight.“
“Okay.“
Just when Luna was about to hang up the call, Malcolm sighed and said something to her.
She closed her eyes and pretended to not hear him. She hung up the call.
Luna turned around and was about to head back into the villa when she bumped into someone looking at her.
At that moment, Joshua was crossing his arms, leaning by a pillar aloofly, looking at her coldly.
“Your boyfriend?“ Luna smiled. “Yes.“
A storm was suddenly raging in his eyes. “Since when do you have a boyfriend?“
Luna smiled. “I always had one.“
Then, Joshua reached over and pinned Luna to the pillar.
His dangerous eyes looked at her closely. “If you always had a boyfriend, why did you come to my house to be my servant and seduce me many times?“
Looking at him, Luna could not help but laugh.
“Mr. Lynch, I have already explained this to you from the very beginning. I'm here as a servant
because I like Nellie. It has nothing to do with you. A s for me seducing you and scheming against you, that's all in your imagination.“
Joshua gripped her hands even tighter.
Luna continued laughing mockingly, “Mr. Lynch. I admit that your status and your looks are top-notch,
but not every woman would fall at your feet.“
Luna Gibson back then was that woman, the woman that went crazy for him. However, she ended up miserable.
Joshua was utterly infuriated at her words.
He glared at her fiercely. “You're saying you have never liked me? You have never tried to seduce me?“
“Yes! “
Luna tried to break free. “I have never liked you. I have never tried to...“
Before she could finish her sentence, Joshua kissed her fiercely. He pinned her onto the pillar. His one hand clasped her hands above her head, and the other confined her tightly between him and the pillar.
The kiss was sudden. It was domineering and wild.
Luna did not expect that he would kiss her so directly. She could not react in time. She even forgot to resist.
He has never kissed her so domineeringly before.
Back then, she was always submissive to him. She would try to please him. However, the more she tried to please him, the more annoyed he got.
Before leaving him six years ago, he could not even be bothered to kiss her anymore.
Even if they had sex, he would not kiss her. However, at that moment...
Luna was overwhelmed by his dominance and arrogance.
After a while, she came to her senses. She should try to struggle, but it was too late then.
While Joshua was angrily kissing her, he involuntarily clasped his hands around her slender waist. In the end, he carried her directly into the villa. ”Let me down ! Joshua Lynch! ”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 114 online free
When she was lifted on his shoulders, Luna finally realized the seriousness of the matter.
She struggled with all her might, but to an aggravated man, her struggles only strengthen his urge to dominate her.
Joshua carried her into his bedroom.
This was the first time Luna has entered his bedroom after six years. What made her shocked was everything in the bedroom was exactly the same as it was six years ago.
Even the potted plants by the window were the same type of plants she once planted.
However, so many years have passed, her plants must have already withered and died. This plant at that moment was still alive and well, so did Joshua get people to change a new pot every now and then?
He must be having too much free time on his hands.
However, it was not the time to think of that at that moment.
Slam!
The bedroom door was slammed shut.
Luna, who was still stunned, was being pressed onto the door by Joshua. Kisses fell on her like raindrops.
“Mr. Lynch.“
“Joshua Lynch! “
“Wake up! “ “You...“
Her screams were lost in him.
Luna was lying in Joshua's bedroom. Looking at the ceiling in a daze.
It has been six years. She almost did the most intimate act with Joshua.
More than lo minutes ago, just when Joshua was about to enter into the last stage with her, he received a call from Lucas, asking him to prepare for tonight's birthday banquet.
He was the eldest grandson of Granny Lynch, also the most powerful one, so he had to be there to decide on many matters personally.
Lucas's phone call finally made him come to his senses.
He flung Luna to the side despicably. He straightened his clothes and left.
Before he left, he looked at her coldly. “I thought you said that you don't like me, that you don't want to seduce me?“
Luna was lying on the bed heaving, like a suffocating fish.
She did not resist. She could not resist.
Because, although, at first she rejected him, later on, she suddenly recalled that she was ovulating that day.
Thus, even if she despised him, she had to bear another child for Nigel's sake, so she forcefully bore through it.
Not only did she have to bear through it, but she also has to be more active as well.
She used to live with him, she remembered all the things that excited Joshua as well as his habits.
She followed him and seduced him, making the fire in him burn as bright as possible.
If it were not for Lucas' phone call, she might have succeeded that day, then perhaps, she did not have to deal with this heartless man anymore in the future.
She shut her eyes and smiled bitterly.
What a pity.
Downstairs.
Joshua washed his face the third time with cold water, the places that Luna kissed him a moment ago.
“Sir.“ Lucas looked at Joshua's self-harming actions, a little heartbroken. “Should I get a doctor?“ “No need.“
Joshua looked at his haggard face in the mirror.
He did not know why but the moment he kissed Luna, a familiar feeling washed over him.
That feeling was... as if she was the same as Luna Gibson.
The instant he pressed her against the bed, he had a strong feeling that she must be Luna Gibson!
If it were not for Lucas' phone call, he might already have done something that would have betrayed Luna Gibson. Joshua shut his eyes. He asked hoarsely, ”Do you feel that Luna the maid and Luna Gibson are alike?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 115 online free
Lucas was silent. He did not know how to answer. “Sir, I-I... I have not seen Ma'am before.“
Joshua who was still dowsing his face with cold water paused for a while.
After a while, he laughed bitterly. “My bad.“ Lucas has only been working for him for five years.
Luna Gibson has left for six years already. It was only normal that Lucas had never seen her before.
Noticing the disappointment in his boss' eyes, Lucas gently sighed. “Sir, do you think it's because you feel that Luna the maid and Ma'am are alike, that's why you would treat her more special than the others?“
Lucas tried his best to comfort Joshua. “If that's the case, you did nothing wrong. You don't have to beat yourself up...“
Joshua closed his eyes. He said nothing.
Were there similarities between Luna the maid and Luna Gibson?
Yes.
Many times, Luna gave him a familiar feeling. Just like Luna Gibson. However, he knew clearly that she was not Luna Gibson.
Luna Gibson looked at him with adoration. There was light in her eyes.
The eyes of Luna the maid were cold and aloof. She treated Joshua as if he was someone unimportant.
Luna Gibson loved him deeply back then. She left her own hometown to Banyan City to work all because of him. She even almost cut ties with her family because of him.
Such feelings could not be wiped away within a day. I f she was willing to give birth to Nellie, that meant that he was still in her heart. Luna Gibson would never look at him the way Luna the maid did!
He knew clearly that Luna the maid was not Luna Gibson, but he still could not help it. Especially, when he kissed her a moment ago.
If it were not for Lucas' phone call, he would have done something terrible.
This woman was too dangerous. She knew how to use his urges to her advantage.
Joshua washed his face with cold water once more. He let out a long sigh of relief. He accepted a towel from Lucas. “Let's go to the venue.“
Lucas pursed his lips. He looked at his boss walking away. He sighed helplessly.
After a while, he chased after Joshua. “Sir, there are things I don't know whether I should tell you or not.“
Joshua stopped in his tracks. “Let it out.“
“You're so smart, I don't think you wouldn't have thought of this. Ma'am has left you for six years already. If she wanted to come back, why did she not send you a single message for the last six years?
Even now. Ms. Nellie has been back for almost a month, but she is nowhere to be seen. Her actions say it all. If you really like Luna the maid, you... don't have to beat yourself over it.“
They have been separated for six years. Perhaps Luna Gibson already has a new lover and a new life.
Joshua, on the other hand, was still beating himself up for liking another woman. He was even torturing himself.
Joshua looked into the distance. His voice was emotionless. “She's angry at me. She's angry at me for not looking for her all these years.“
It seemed like Joshua was talking to Lucas, but he was telling that to himself. “She won't move on to another person. She won't stop loving me too.“
She was only angry. Angry that he hurt her so deeply back then. Thus, what he needed to do was to get her back and not have feelings for another woman.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Lucas knew that he would not be able to convince Joshua. He sighed. “ But sir, she has not shown herself for such a long time. Are you sure that she will appear after tonight?“
“She will.“

Joshua strode away.
Granny Lynch's birthday banquet was being held at the Starhill Hotel.
The Lynch family was wealthy. They booked the entire hotel. Not only the ballroom, but all the suites as well.
Those staying there were relatives, friends, and business partners of the Lynch family.
Because it was Granny Lynch's 8oth, so this year, the Lynch family invited an extraordinarily large number of people to the birthday banquet.
When Luna brought Nellie to the hotel, the lobby was already filled with people.
This was the first time Nellie saw so many people.
She looked shocked with widened eyes. She said in a hushed voice, “Does our family have... so many friends?“
Luna nodded. “I guess so.“
She never knew how many friends and relatives the Lynch family had because when she got married to Joshua, the Lynch family only sent a representative.
Her wedding was so simple it was pitiful. However, back then, her eyes only had Joshua. She felt that as long as she was with him, she was happy no matter what.
At that moment, looking at the crowd at the birthday banquet, she felt that she was extremely foolish then.
No wonder Joshua wanted to announce Nellie's identity during Granny Lynch's birthday banquet.
It seemed that he knew the more people during the occasion, the more grand and formal it was.
However, the wedding that he gave her was so empty it was terrifying.
“Luna.“ Lucas saw her from afar.
He immediately passed through the crowd. “You can hand Nellie over to me. She will be entering with Mr. Lynch later. You...“
Lucas looked at her meaningfully. “Just relax. Have some food and find a place to rest. This is your last day, you should enjoy it too.“
Luna nodded. She instructed Lily to look after Nellie, then she turned around and walked into the crowd.
Nellie, who was in Lily's arms, saw Luna disappear within the crowd. Her heart was broken. Lily knew that Nellie was upset too.
“Let's go somewhere to rest for a while, shall we?“ Lily gently carried Nellie and whispered in her ear, “ You won't be separated for long. I have a way for you to be in touch with her secretly.“
At that, Nellie felt slightly better.
She rested her head on Lily's shoulders and closed her eyes.
If only...
If only her Mommy could leave peacefully with Daddy. She would be like the other kids, to live happily with her loving parents.
“Tsk, tsk, we meet again.“
Luna found a sofa by the corner and sat down. She just sat down when a familiar voice rang in her ears.
She did not need to look to know that it was Aura. Luna looked away, ignoring Aura.
“I never thought that you would be here tonight.“
Aura sat opposite Luna. She looked at Luna with her seductive make -up. “But it's good that you're here too.“
“If you're not here, how are you going to see how happy Joshua and I are?“
Luna swept her a cold glance.
Aura was still in the dress she wore during the daytime, but her make -up was even more elaborate. Her accessories were grander.
Of course, the jewelry was still fake.
After all, with her income, she could not afford jewelry that cost millions.
“You haven't heard?“
Aura gracefully picked up the cocktail glass on the table. She took a sip. “Joshua is announcing our marriage date tonight. We're getting married.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 117 online free
Luna was a little stunned at Aura's words.
After a while, Luna smiled. “Congratulations, Ms. Gibson.“
“I know that you can't believe it.“ Aura slowly put the wine glass down on the table. She looked at Luna with her intricately made-up eyes.
“You're just short -sighted. It's not your fault. How long have you been working for Joshua?“
Aura smiled smugly. “Do you know why Luna Gibson, that coward, only dared to send her daughter back but not show herself?“
Luna lowered her eyes and fiddled with the wine glass on the table. “I don't know.“
“Because she does not dare to come back. She knew better than anyone that her accident back then was not an accident. Someone planned it.“
“Is that so?“ Luna raised her eyebrows. She looked at Aura. “How do you know, Ms. Gibson?“
“Because Joshua was the one that planned the accident. Of course, I know about it.“
Aura's voice was still calm, but her smile was smug. “ Joshua always liked me. When he knew that Luna was pregnant, he was afraid that I would be unhappy, so he decided to get rid of her. I only knew about this later on. I even had a huge fight with him over this. “
Luna dug her nails into her palms. She forcefully suppressed the overwhelming emotions.
“Why are you telling me all this, Ms. Gibson? I don't think we're close enough for you to share your secrets with me, right?“
Aura must be up to something for telling her all these out of the blue.
“I 'm not sharing secrets with you, “ Aura sneered, “ you're not worth it. I only want to tell you that I am the one and only in Joshua's heart.“
Aura looked at Luna arrogantly. “I'm only showing off. After all, you are the only woman who has been a threat to me, after so many years. But, after tonight...“
Aura raised her eyebrows. “You will be utterly defeated by me.“
Then, she stood up.
“I hope you stop trying to seduce Joshua after tonight, if not...“
Aura calmly smiled. “Luna Gibson who was pregnant with triplets could be hit off the bridge into the sea, that could be you too.“
Clink!
Aura bent down, picked the wine glass up, and clinked it with Luna's.
After tapping her glass, Aura did not drink the wine. Instead, she threw the wine glass into the bin with disgust.
She took a napkin out and wiped her hands gracefully. “I hope you have a good night.“
Luna remained in the spot, looking at her leave. She clenched her fists tightly.
Her heart was aching as if someone had stabbed her brutally with a knife!
She has known and understood what Aura has said for a long time now. However, it was one thing to understand it. It was a whole other thing when this cruel fact was being told so directly.
Also, Aura told the incident with condescension and smugness.
The humiliation and pain back then were like a sharp sword, slicing her heart in half.
Her kindness toward Joshua for the past few days has been instantly wiped off at Aura's words.
Yes. How could she forget how cruel Joshua was back then.
She loved him so much that she was willing to give up everything, yet he got rid of her without any hesitation. He sacrificed her.
In his heart, she was nothing but a stranger.
“Lulu.“
Just when Luna was looking at Aura leaving in a daze, another man's low voice rang in her eyes.
She was stunned and turned around.
Behind her, Malcolm Quinn was in a white suit.
He was tall and regal-looking. He attracted the attention of many heiresses.
At that moment, he had a wine glass in his hand. He smiled at her. ”Have you been here for a long time?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 118 online free
“Nope."
Luna took a deep breath. She pushed aside the unhappy emotions that were aggravated by Aura. She moved aside to let Malcolm sit and got him to sit next to her.
“When did you arrive?" “Just a moment ago."
Malcolm smiled a little. He sipped his wine while observing the crowd. “It's a pretty huge affair."
Luna nodded. “After all, it's Granny Lynch's eightieth."
Malcolm changed into a more comfortable posture. He smiled. “If I hadn't investigated the Lynch family before, I wouldn't have dared to go up against Joshua, looking at the crowd here today."
Luna paused a little. “You... want to go up against Joshua?"
“I intend to."
“There's no need, Malcolm."
Luna sighed, “I'll deal with my matters myself. I don't need you to help me."
“It's just a business competition. " Malcolm smiled a little. “But, if you need me, I'll always be supporting you."
His words sounded too intimate. It made Luna a little uncomfortable.
After a while, she cleared her throat. “Have you seen Neil?“
“Hmm. “ Malcolm smiled. “I saw him outside, with two bodyguards. Your son is just like you. He has the ability to compel people. He could make two burly adult men call him boss.“
Luna shook her head. “He has the ability, I don't have it.“
If she had it, she would not have had to lose so much, to even be abandoned mercilessly by Joshua.
“You do.“ Malcolm probably saw through her. He smiled. “He just doesn't know what's good for him. If I were him, I would never...“
Before he could finish his sentence, Luna interrupted him. “It's starting.“ His words were forcefully cut off, but Malcolm did not get angry.
He changed into a different position and leaned next to Luna, looking at the center stage.
“Everyone, welcome to Granny Lynch's eightieth birthday banquet! “
The emcee spoke passionately. “Let's invite Granny Lynch up on stage! “
At his words, Granny Lynch, who was in a long and elegant dress, walked to the center stage with the help of Aura.
“Thank you. Thank you everyone for celebrating my birthday with me.“
Granny Lynch smiled while holding onto the
microphone. After a round of pleasantries, she grabbed Aura's hand. “I have an important announcement to make today! “
The relatives and friends were all nosy people. Every one of them knew about Joshua and Aura's engagement!
At that moment, Granny Lynch was holding onto Aura's hand, saying that she had something to announce. It was pretty self-explanatory.
They were in an uproar.
“Is Mr. Lynch finally going to announce his marriage with Aura?“
“It has been five years! The engagement is finally coming to an end! “
“I can't wait to see this perfect match-made in heaven get married...“
People kept chiming in.
Luna bit her lips and looked at Aura on stage.
At that moment, Aura was also looking at her. Her eyes were filled with condescension and arrogance.
“You all got it!“
Granny Lynch and Aura exchanged looks, then she smiled and held her hand. “My grandson, Joshua Lynch, has finally decided to marry Aura! “
It was an instant uproar.
After the uproar died down, they finally found a problem. If it was a marriage announcement, why was Joshua, the man of the hour, not there?
”Granny, Ms. Gibson, where is Mr. Lynch?” Someone boldly asked.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 119 online free
The crowd began to wonder. If it was a marriage announcement, the groom should be there. Why was Joshua not there? Why was it only Aura and Granny Lynch announcing the marriage?
“Because Joshua is not here.“
Malcolm, who was on the sofa, looked at the stage. He smiled a little. “A few minutes ago, Joshua got a call. His father was at the airport and asked him to pick him up.“
Luna furrowed her brows. “Joshua's father is coming?“
She has married Joshua for many years, not once has she seen his father.
It was said that Joshua's mother died when she gave birth to him, from then onward, his father has been depressed ever since. Wallowed himself in drinking. He was not willing to even look at Joshua.
In his eyes, Joshua was bad luck. If there was no Joshua, his wife would not have died, so he has never once taken part in Joshua's life.
Joshua rarely mentioned his father too.
Back then, Luna had to ask the older servants about Joshua's father. The servants told her that he has never been back to Banyan City for a long time.
His father found a traveling diary that belonged to his mother before she died, so Joshua's father took her ashes to travel the world.
“Perhaps it's because of his mother's eightieth birthday.“
Malcolm shrugged. “But, this is a good show. Joshua went to pick his father up. He would most likely be back only half an hour later. These two announce the marriage when he's not around. When Joshua comes back, everything has been set in stone. They played a good move.“
Luna pursed her lips. She suddenly stood up.
Malcolm furrowed his brows. “What are you doing?“
“I'm taking Nellie away.“ She overestimated Joshua. I f Joshua could not deal with Aura's schemes, how dare he confidently say that he could protect Nellie?
Aura's hostility toward Nellie was obvious!
If Joshua could not even protect Nellie, she had to take Nellie away before he announced her identity to the family!
“Luna! “
Malcolm frowned and pulled her back. “How are you planning to take her away? Joshua's men are all around. You can't possibly manage to escape with Nellie. If you get caught, how are you going to explain yourself? Are you going to tell Joshua that you are actually...“
Bang!
Before Malcolm could say any further, the door of the venue was slammed open.
The audience looked toward the sound.
A man in a navy blue suit was standing by the door. He was carrying a little girl in a dress in his arms, slowly walking in.
It was no one other than Joshua Lynch, who was supposed to be on the way to the airport.
On stage, Aura panicked. She subconsciously looked at Granny Lynch and said in hushed tones, “Isn't he supposed to pick uncle up?“
Granny Lynch looked confused too. “I sent him away Because of Aura's jewelry, Granny Lynch and Aura came up with a plan that night. They got Joshua's father to arrive right before the banquet, then they got him to call Joshua to pick him up. Although Joshua was not close to his father, he was still a filial son after all. He would still pick him up. When he left, the two of them would announce the marriage.
By the time Joshua came back, everything would be set in stone. He would not dare to make a fuss during Granny Lynch's birthday banquet.
They thought that their plan was flawless. They did not expect that Joshua would be back so soon.
“Granny, surprised to see me?“
Joshua, who was carrying Nellie, walked toward the stage.
Everyone was looking at Joshua and the little girl in his arms.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 120 online free
The little girl was about five or six years old. She was petite and pretty. Especially the face! It was similar to Joshua's!
People started covering their mouths in shock. Turns out, Joshua's face on a girl would be equally
pretty!
The little girl in his arms was without a doubt his daughter.
Here was the problem. His ex—wife passed away six years ago. He has been married to Aura for five already.
Where... did the child come from?
The audience below the stage kept guessing while Joshua brought Nellie up to the stage.
Looking at Granny Lynch's and Aura's shocked expressions, Joshua smiled faintly. “Granny, when you kept getting me to pick my father up, I knew something was up.“
He only did not expect that Aura would be so bold! She dared to announce a thing like that with Granny Lynch while he was not around!
She must have suspected that Granny Lynch was desperate, that was why she dared to be so reckless.
Aura's face instantly turned pale. She bit her lips and could not say anything.
Granny Lynch furrowed her brows. She walked over and put Aura behind her, protecting her. “It was my idea. Why didn't you pick your father up?“
“Him? “ Joshua smiled but his eyes were cold. “He's only a stranger. Why should I pick him up myself?“
Getting Lucas to pick him up was already showing him enough respect.
Other than giving him life, his father did nothing for him.
Granny was so furious her face turned pale. “You...“
“Everyone.“ Joshua went past her and walked to the emcee. He picked up the microphone. “I have an important announcement to make today, but it's not about my marriage.“
The audience was in an uproar.
“I want to announce that I have found my daughter.“
Joshua smiled and looked at everyone. “Let me formally introduce to all of you. This is my daughter, Nellie.“
This girl was actually Joshua's daughter!? The entire crowd was in an uproar once again. Everyone was discussing among themselves in hushed tones.
In the end, one of them was bold enough to ask, “Mr. Lynch, can you tell us who the child's mother is? “ “Luna Gibson.“
Joshua openly admitted in front of everyone. “It's my wife, Luna Gibson. Back then, after the accident, no one could locate her body. I sent men to search the seas for a long time but no one found her. I always felt that she was still alive. Turns out, I was right.
Not only is she not dead, but she even gave birth to such a cute daughter."
The audience erupted into an uproar. Joshua's wife did not die six years ago!
This was enough news to make the headlines the next day!
That man continued asking, “Mr. Lynch, since if your wife is not dead and she even gave birth to such a pretty daughter... where is she? Did she attend the banquet tonight?"
“No." Joshua shook his head bitterly. “She might still have a misunderstanding with me. She's unwilling to show herself. It's fine. I will slowly wait for her."
“What about your marriage with Ms. Gibson..." “There is no marriage."
Joshua, on the stage, enunciated every single word. “ The marriage is off."
