Ch. 1171..1180

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1171

Luna clenched her fists tightly.

She wanted so badly to tell Granny Lynch that it was her engagement to Joshua that day.

However, she subconsciously turned to look behind.

Aura was slowly walking down from the stage while Neil stood at the stairs before her, carefully reaching his hands out to help her.

Neil's small body could not even help hold Aura, yet he seriously completed this series of actions that he could not even do properly.

Luna was heartbroken. She could see that although Aura kept saying Neil was her son, she did not give him an ounce of love.

If not, why would such a small child need to actively help Aura, who had no problems with her body?

At the thought of how Aura threatened her a moment ago, Luna took a deep breath. She did not dare look at Granny Lynch.

“Today...is my engagement to Michael Lynch.“

Aura had a weird character, and she had to do what she said. Luna did not have the right nor courage to risk Theo and Neil's life.

The entire crowd was silenced upon Luna's answer. Granny Lynch furrowed her brows, and her tone turned cold. “Luna, I'm here right now. I call the shots in the Lynch family, and no one could do anything to you. Tell me: who are you getting engaged with?“

The aura exuded from Granny Lynch made Luna grit her teeth harshly. She used to think that Granny Lynch was someone who was always confused and liked to stir trouble up. She never would have thought that when Granny Lynch turned serious, she would have such an imposing aura.

In such an imposing manner, Luna had to find a lot of courage to lie to Granny Lynch. However, Luna continued stiffly, “Today is the engagement ceremony of Michael and me.“

“Mommy... “ Nellie, who was in Luna's arms, broke free and got down from her. She took a step back with widened eyes, her eyes filled with hurt.

“How could you tell such a lie?“

Today was clearly her Mommy's engagement to her Daddy! How did it turn out to become her Mommy getting engaged to that bad man? She had already helped her Mommy get Great -Granny Lynch over to support her!

Why was Mommy still not telling the truth? Luna closed her eyes. “I'm not lying. Today is...“

“Today is indeed the engagement between Luna and Michael.“ Aura laughed a little and pulled Neil over. She looked at Granny Lynch flatly. “Granny, long time no see.“

Granny Lynch furrowed her brows and swept Aura a faze. She wanted to say something when her gaze suddenly stopped at Neil, next to Aura.

Her eyes widened uncontrollably.

Why did this child look exactly like Nigel and Neil?

She looked at Nigel next to Luna, then looked at the child next to Aura. Granny Lynch thought she was hallucinating.

Aura had long predicted Granny Lynch's reaction. She laughed a little and said, “Granny, are you surprised?“

Aura held Neil's hand and walked over to Granny Lynch. “Granny, let me introduce him to you. This is my son with Joshua. His name is Jake Landry.

Actually, when Luna got pregnant with Joshua's children, I got pregnant at the same time, too.

Otherwise, Joshua wouldn't have created Luna's accident and tried to kill her for me.

“It was only later on when we got engaged that Joshua didn't like this child, so he sent my child abroad. When Luna returned to Joshua and I was sent abroad by Joshua, only then did I finally reunite with my child.“

Then, Aura turned and made a benevolent look. “ Come, Jake, this is your great -grandmother. You can call her Great-Granny! “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1172

Neil obediently lifted his head. “Great-Granny.“

Granny Lynch's tears instantly fell. The voice, the expression, the gaze! It was the same as Neil who died!

Although Nigel and Neil looked alike, their gaze was different.

When Neil passed away, Granny Lynch was in grief for a long time. The sickly Nigel could never replace the adorable and bubbly Neil!

At that moment, Aura and Joshua's son looked exactly like Neil!

If Neil was not already dead, Granny Lynch might even suspect that the child in front of her was Neil!

She excitedly hugged Neil in her arms. “Neil, my good child! “

Being hugged by Granny Lynch, Neil furrowed his brow and reminded softly, “Great-Granny, my name is Jake Landry, not Neil.“

Granny Lynch stiffened a little. Neil used the opportunity to break free out of Granny Lynch's arms and took a few steps backward.

Suddenly leaving her, Granny Lynch looked at Neil a little stunned.

Neil took a deep breath. “I'm sorry, Great-Granny. Because you all are from the Lynch family, I'm a little hesitant to get close to you all. I'm sorry.“

Then, he walked over and stood behind Aura.

Aura smiled a little awkwardly. “Granny, look at him. Because I was abandoned by Joshua, he hates Joshua as well. He has no good feelings toward the Lynch family...

“But don't worry. After today, I 'll teach him well! “

Granny Lynch furrowed her brows rather disappointedly.

This child...did not seem like Neil. If he was Neil, then who was he? Was he really the child of Aura and Joshua?

At that thought, Granny Lynch furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua, who was in the wheelchair, in the distance.

“Joshua, what's going on?“

Joshua, who had remained silent all this while, lifted his gaze. “It is what it is.“

Granny Lynch frowned. “What do you mean? What do you mean, it is what it is? Did you really get Aura and Luna pregnant at the same time? Did you deliberately set Luna up because of Aura and her child?! “

Joshua smiled. “What do you think?“

Everything that happened that night, not one person asked for his opinions. Not even once. He was too lazy to explain for himself anymore. He just wanted to see how many more tricks Aura and Michael had up their sleeves!

Granny Lynch was instantly infuriated at Joshua's nonchalant attitude.

“Joshua! You're still the person in charge of the Lynch Group! You're the spokesperson for the Lynch family! Do you know that if you don't explain this clearly—”

“That's right! " Before Granny Lynch could  finish her sentence, Adrian immediately stood up and reprimanded Joshua together with her.

“If you're not going to explain yourself, how could you still be the president of the Lynch Group?"

Then, he turned to look at Granny Lynch. “Mom, do you know why I want to weed out the bad seed now? Joshua has to explain himself on this matter today! If not, people would think that the men of the Lynch family are all dirtbags!"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1173

Joshua could not help but smile at Adrian's words.

He looked at the arrogant middle-aged man in front of him. “Do you think that's not the case?“

He gracefully leaned back on his wheelchair and smiled a little.

“Lucas.“

Lucas immediately got up and walked over to the stage. He turned on the laptop and linked up the projection which Neil had used.

Soon, numerous writings, images, and videos were displayed on the huge screen.

Joshua smiled and slowly rolled his wheelchair up the stage.

They did not know why, but although Joshua was in a wheelchair, the crowd had an illusion that Joshua was like a ruler sitting on his throne.

Joshua elegantly appeared on the stage. He sneered and looked at Adrian suspiciously.

“Since Master Lynch insists on weeding out the bad seed and how the Lynch family has no place for scumbags, let me start from the beginning.“

Joshua smiled and looked at Adrian coldly. “When I was born, my mother had a difficult delivery, so I was born without a mother. Mr. Adrian Lynch had never cared for me all these years, never once bearing a father's responsibility, all under the excuse that I killed my mother. I was brought up by my grandparents.

“All these years, I wasn't willing to investigate the life he led abroad. He said he was traveling the world, so I believed that. I was never close to him. We weren't like any normal father and son, so he did not care for me, and neither did I, him. It was until...“

Joshua's gaze turned cold. “Until when I had a huge illness recently and almost did not come around. At that time, Master Lynch probably thought that I was about to die. The assets of the Lynch Group couldn't fall into the hands of other people, so he immediately brought his current wife and son back.

“Only then did I find out that my father, who claimed that he was traveling the world all these years, was actually with another woman for so many years that he even had a son with her.“

Joshua's tone was cold and had no ounce of emotions in them. Adrian, Celia, and Michael's expressions were rather ugly.

Joshua opened up the file, his gaze calm as he did.

“Thus, I was curious: since when did Master Lynch get together with Ms. Celia Giles? The unexpected happened.“

Joshua showed a few photos. The photos were of a younger Adrian hugging the young Celia around the waist, and they took these by the beach, all smiles.

Photo after photo. There were even photos of Adrian kissing Celia.

In the last photo, there was a date shown. It Was 32 years ago.

Joshua smiled and looked at the crowd below the stage. “Does everyone know how old I am this year? I'm thirty.“

Upon his words, the crowd fell into verbal mayhem. That meant that before Joshua was even born, Adrian had already had an affair with Celia?

Adrian's face instantly turned blue. Even Granny Lynch's eyes widened in shock.

All this while, she was only angry at Adrian for secretly getting married to the woman called Celia Giles, even bearing an unpromising son.

Granny Lynch did not think that Adrian had been with Celia for 32 years! At that time, Joshua was not even born. His mother was also not pregnant with him yet!

Granny Lynch felt her blood boiling. 32 years ago... Was that not the time where Adrian and Rianna were the closest?

Adrian did not use to be called Adrian. It was because he loved Rianna so much he deliberately changed his name to Adrian, a portmanteau of their names, symbolizing that he was forever Rianna's man and only loved Rianna.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1174

However, the photos on the huge screen... How ironic.

The older people in the crowd started thinking back 32 years ago, how close Adrian was with Rianna.

Back then, they were the royal couple of Banyan City!

They had always been in love until Rianna died on the operation table during labor. From then on, Adrian did not care for the Lynch Group anymore. He went far and wide alone, traveling the world to heal from emotional wounds.

From the way things looked at this point, however, he was not traveling the world to heal from his emotional wounds. He clearly went to look for Celia to live happily ever after!

The murmurs shifted their tides of interest as they pointed at Adrian.

Adrian and his family were rooted where they stood, their expressions one uglier than the other. They never would have thought that in a mere few short days, Joshua would be able to dig up old photos from 32 years ago!

At that moment, Celia's expressions were the ugliest. She bit her lip and instinctively retreated a few steps backward.

Since Joshua could find out about incidents that happened 32 years ago.

Would he also be able to find out that his mother's death had to do...

At that thought, Celia's face was as pale as snow.

Looking at her reaction, Adrian pursed his lips. He immediately reached his arm out and put it around Celia's shoulders. Both of them looked at Joshua on stage timidly, afraid he would expose the Rianna incident the very next second.

However, Michael, next to them, was defiant. ”The photos prove nothing ! Joshua, didn't you have an affair with Aura and get her pregnant while Luna was pregnant? At least your father wasn't like you, trying to kill the legitimate wife because of his affair, right?! "

The discussions in the crowd suddenly stopped. Among the silence , someone said softly, ”Actually, Rianna's death was quite strange, too. She was usually in good health. When she was pregnant, she would still exercise daily, so that she could have a smooth delivery, yet she died in the labor... ”

That sentence seemed to have lit the flames of curiosity once more. The crowd started discussing in hushed tones back when Rianna was pregnant.

Adrian gritted his teeth and glared at Michael angrily. He was seething with loathing , but he could not loudly reprimand him. Adrian was afraid the others would say he had a guilty conscience.

Sitting in the wheelchair , Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Adrian and Celia's reaction. In his heart, he was already clear whether his mother's death had anything to do with them.

He just lacked the most crucial piece of evidence. The evidence he had at that moment was not enough to send them to prison.

Still, he was willing to wait.

Joshua took a deep breath and turned to look at Michael.

“This evidence can't prove that Adrian and Celia killed my mother, but I took all these only, only to tell you all that if you want to accuse me of having an affair and setting Luna up...

“Please also produce evidence like this. If not, I won't mind bringing each and every one of you who defamed me to court."

The moment he said that, the crowd was finally silenced.

Michael narrowed his eyes. “Since you said that only by providing evidence, only can we prove that you had an affair. What about Jake? How do you explain the child? Isn't he the strongest evidence that you had an affair?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1175

Michael's words shifted the crowd's attention back to Neil, and everyone began to murmur among themselves once more.

Granny Lynch also frowned hard. Yes. She also believed that Joshua did not have an affair when he was married to Luna, but what about Jake?

He looked exactly like Nigel.

If Neil did not have the same father as Nigel and if his mother was not Luna's biological sister, this would not have happened!

No matter how Granny Lynch thought about it, she felt that unless Neil had been resurrected, she could not find another explanation to justify this child's identity.

However, Neil had been dead for months. He died in an explosion. How could he be resurrected? Even if he was, how would he have willingly stayed by Aura's side, being with the enemy and accusing Joshua?

Even when she hugged him a moment ago, she could clearly feel the difference between him and Neil.

Granny Lynch was confused. She lifted her head, furrowed her brows, and looked at Joshua.

“Joshua, this child...“

Joshua smiled flatly. “I won't acknowledge this child.“ He clutched his chin and sneered.

“There are people who look alike in this world but aren't related. Moreover, the technology for

cosmetic surgery is so advanced. How would I know if this child truly looks like that or if he was done up by somebody else?“

The discussions were even louder than Joshua's words.

Aura furrowed her brows and sneered. She never would have thought that Joshua would immediately deny that the child was his.

Previously, Aura thought that no matter how heartless Joshua was, he would not deny acknowledging his own child. He and Luna knew whose child he was.

She never would have thought that Joshua's heartlessness was way beyond her comprehension.

Aura pursed her lips and immediately bent down to hug Neil, pretending to be hurt and covering Neil's ears. “Jake, don't listen to him...“

Neil stood in the same spot and looked in Joshua's direction defiantly with gritted teeth.

His mother did not want him to listen to Joshua, but he was not deaf. How could he not hear that?

Joshua refused to acknowledge him as his son.

Previously, his mother had even secretly done a paternity test with him and Joshua. The test was still under his pillow where he slept. Joshua was his biological father!

Neil knew that he was the illegitimate son. He knew that he could not be like the other two kids, enjoying Joshua's tenderness.

However...

He never would have thought that Joshua would publicly deny his identity in front of so many people.

Joshua said that he was not his child, that it was a coincidence he looked exactly like Nigel. He even said that he might have undergone cosmetic surgery to become how he looked at that moment.

The six—year—old kid forced his tears back. He did not know why, but he had always been eager for a father's love and care. It was as if before he lost his memory, that was the thing he wanted the most.

However, at that moment, looking at Joshua's reaction, he felt sorry for himself. Mother was right. Joshua was a scumbag, one that was enamored with the new and got bored with the old.

Because he did not like his mother anymore, he chased her out of Banyan City. Now that his mother had brought him back, Joshua was refusing to acknowledge him as his son!

Luna took in every single expression of Neil.

She bit her lip, almost unable to hold herself back. She wanted to walk toward him and hug him, telling him that it was not real. It was not that Joshua did not want to acknowledge him as his son, it was that Joshua's hands were tied. He could not do it.

Luna only took a step forward when Nigel pulled her back, his deep eyes boring into hers. “Don't go.“

Luna was silent for a while. In the end, she stopped in her tracks.

Nigel was much more sensible than her. At that moment, even if she were to rush over and hug Neil, even if she were to tell him...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1176

It would be unhelpful to the situation. It would only make Neil feel that she was pretentious.

Luna could only sit and watch the disappointment in Neil's eyes grow.

She felt as if someone stabbed her heart.

“Joshua, you're saying that this child isn't yours?“

Granny Lynch furrowed her brows and looked at the child called Jake Landry once again. Was he really not related to the Lynch family?

“Yes, I'm sure,“ Joshua calmly answered Granny Lynch's question. “If you want me to admit that this child is mine, he has to stay with me. I 'll bring him to a few respectable DNA Diagnostic Centers.

“Only when I have solid proof will I admit that perhaps I was truly drunk and made a mistake one night back then. If not, those who claimed that I had an affair yet could not produce any proof will be sued for defamation, “ Joshua enunciated every single word resoundingly.

The crowd gradually turned quiet.

Granny Lynch was stunned. She subconsciously looked at Aura.

“What do you say?“

Aura narrowed her eyes. It seemed that this was the card Joshua was playing. He would not admit that Neil was his biological son nor would he admit to

having an affair unless Neil followed him to have a DNA test. If not, Aura was defaming him, and he would have her sued.

Joshua had said it so bluntly. If Aura were to disagree with him at that moment, others would think that she was defaming him and Neil was not his biological son!

However, if she was to pass Neil to Joshua...

If Neil's unstable mind were to be corrected by them and the plan backfired...

Aura would only have Theo left to play as her card. Joshua would definitely not care about whether Theo lived or died.

Aura squinted harshly.

Joshua threw her a conundrum. No matter what she picked, she was at a disadvantage.

However...

Aura hesitated for a while. In the end, she took a deep breath and laughed.

“Then, we'll let Jake stay with Joshua. I look forward to the DNA test result.“

Aura was taking a bet that Neil would not be able to regain his memory in such a short period. Even if he did, he would not leave Theo alone.

Joshua narrowed his eyes as he looked at Aura's face calmly.

“Then, I thank you, Ms. Gibson. Once I have the results, I'll look for you.“

Aura chuckled a little. “But, I do have a request.“ She looked at Neil next to her, then looked at Nigel and Nellie in the distance.

“I request to visit Jake every three days at Blue Bay Villa. After all, we're mother and son. I'll feel sad if I don't see him for a very long time.“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Okay. It's done.“ Aura sneered. She bent down and hugged Neil, saying into his ear, “Remember what I told you. If you want your Uncle Theo to live or reunite with his family, you'll have to listen to me. I'll give you a mission every three days when I visit you at Blue Bay Villa. You hear me?“

Neil nodded. He reached his hands out and gently hugged Aura, saying meaningfully, “Mother, when I 'm not around you, you can lash out at the stuffed toys in my room if you're angry and want to let off some steam. Remember to take your medicine and sleep on time.“

Aura's heart skipped a beat a little upon Neil's words.

After a while, she snorted coldly. “Shut up. I don't need you to care for me! “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1177

Neil nodded his head upon Aura's words. Since his mother had said so, that meant that for the next three days, Uncle Theo would be fine.

Upon receiving his reply, Aura slightly squinted her eyes and pushed Neil to Nigel and Nellie.

The three of them finally met each other face to face.

Nigel narrowed his eyes and looked at Neil, not moving.

Nellie, on the other hand, slowly reached her hand out and passionately held Neil's hand.

“Hello, Jake! Nice to meet you! “

Nellie heard how Neil corrected Great-Granny Lynch when she hugged him a moment ago, so Nellie obediently called him Jake instead.

Actually, before that day, her Mommy had already told Nigel and her. They knew that Neil was different than before, unable to remember things in the past nor remember who they were to him.

Therefore, although Nellie was a little resentful at Neil for saying the things he said a moment ago, she was still willing to accept him.

Nigel was a different case. From the beginning, Nigel had been staring at Neil coldly.

It was a quiet and cold gaze. It was not hostile, but it was still terrifying.

Neil furrowed his brows and fearlessly met Nigel's

gaze. Both of them met each other's gaze, one condescending and arrogant, and the other calm and aloof.

Nellie could feel the tension in the air. She pursed her lips and immediately reached out to grab Nigel's hand. She got Nigel to shake hands with Neil.

“Both of you, stop. We're family.“

Nigel coldly retreated his hand. “I won't be a family with someone who can't distinguish between right and wrong.“

Neil also retreated his hand. “I'm also not willing to be a family with someone who doesn't acknowledge my identity.“

Nellie bit her lip hard. Ever since young, the three of them grew up together. Nigel and Neil had never fought before.

At that moment, she did not know what to do, so she could only look up at Luna asking for help.

Luna rather helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. She slowly walked over. “Nigel, Jake, stop fighting.“

Then, she grabbed Nigel's hand. She reached her other hand out, wanting to hold Neil's hand.

However, the moment she touched his fingers, Neil swerved, brows furrowed as he retreated in detest.

“Don't touch me.“

Gone was his gentle and bubbly tone when he rescued her previously. It was distant and aloof.

Luna stiffened in the same spot. She felt as if her heart was crushed cruelly by something.

He was her son. Before going through all that, he still rescued her from Michael. He even lent her a shoulder, let her hug him while she cried.

However, at that moment...

Luna bit her lip hard. She was heartbroken.

Neil must have believed Aura, thinking that she was the bad person.

In the distance, Aura saw how Neil rejected Luna. A hint of delight spread across her eyes. After Neil lost his memory, he was indeed very obedient. The doctor who fed him the medicine to lose his memories was right.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1178

An emotionally-driven child before losing his memory would still be equally emotionally-driven after losing his memory.

As long as Neil believed that Aura was his biological mother, he would never treat Luna well!

At that thought, Aura sneered.

Did Joshua think that if he had Neil by his side, they would be able to work hard on their own and help Neil correct his mindset, regaining his memory?

Dream on!

Once Neil recognized her as his mother, he would always do her bidding!

Joshua, on the stage, obviously saw the scene where Neil rejected Luna. He sighed, turned around, and looked at Adrian and Michael below the stage.

“Adrian, Michael, you said that I had an affair. Besides the unidentified child, Jake Landry, do you have any other proof?“

Michael paused for a while before he bit his lip. Besides Jake, he had no other proof of Joshua having an affair.

Looking at how Adrian and Michael were stumped, Joshua smiled and gracefully looked at the crowd.

“Since no one could produce any solid evidence, then those baseless claims saying I had an affair and those accusations of me killing Luna won't hold.“

Then, his tone turned sharp. “However, I did collect quite a lot of evidence against Mr. Adrian and Mr. Michael. Should I show them once by one?“

Adrian and Michael were instantly frantic upon Joshua's words. Their faces fluctuated between turning blue and turning pale. It was ugly.

“That's enough.“ Granny Lynch closed her eyes and leaned back on the sofa. “You don't have to show all this clearly embarrassing evidence. Let's not air our dirty laundry out in public.“

Then, Granny Lynch stood up. “Everyone, I'm so sorry you have to witness the drama within the Lynch family. But...“

Granny Lynch swept a glance at the information of the folder on the huge screen.

“Looking at the time when Joshua created this folder, he had already gotten hold of this news since the past few days.“ Granny Lynch sighed and continued, “Joshua didn't air this out in public at first notice, and it must've been because he considered both of you as his relatives. One was his father, the other, his brother.

“However, I never would've thought that you two would try to embarrass him together with the others at his engagement ceremony! Both of you, it's one thing to be immoral. It's another to be ruthless to your own family!

“Butler, send the bill to Mr. Adrian Lynch tomorrow! “ Granny Lynch glared at Adrian. “

Remember to change your name after you clear your debt, too. You're not worthy of being part of the Lynch family, nor being called Adrian! “

Granny Lynch spat those words out, turned, and left. The attendees gradually left, too.

The once lively venue only had Joshua and Luna left. Nigel, Neil, and Nellie were sent home by Lucas under Joshua's arrangement.

The huge venue only had Luna, who was below the stage, and Joshua, who was on the stage.

Joshua rolled the wheelchair down the stage, slowly heading out.

Crash!

It was only when Luna heard the wheelchair ramming against something did she come to.

Not far away from her, Joshua had wheeled himself over to a place filled with wine bottles.

The sound was of the wheelchair knocking over a wine bottle.

Luna immediately chased after him. She helped Joshua clear away the obstacle blocking his path. “ Why didn't you call me when you're about to leave?“

Joshua swept her an indifferent gaze and continued heading out.

“Why didn't you leave with your fiancé, Michael? “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1179

Luna's hand was just about to grab the handles of Joshua's wheelchair when she stopped a little.

After a moment, she immediately caught up to Joshua and grabbed the handles to his wheelchair, pushing him out.

“Joshua, I know you're angry at me for going rogue a t the last minute, admitting that I am engaged to Michael, but...“

Luna sniffled and bit her lips. “I had no choice. The box that Aura gave me. Inside— “

Joshua looked ahead as he calmly interrupted Luna, “ Inside the box had something to do with Theo and Neil. The letter she wrote was threatening you. She said that if you don't do according to what she said, she'd hurt Theo and Neil.”'

Joshua smiled. He sounded rather self-deprecating. “

Am I right?“

Luna was completely stunned. After a while, she bit her lip. “How did you know...?“

“I made a guess.“

“Since you already knew, why did you— “

“Luna.“

Joshua took a deep breath. He stopped in his tracks and elegantly turned his wheelchair around.

He lifted his gaze and looked at Luna fixedly. He sneered a little. “Do you think that if you obey Aura's demands, she won't hurt Theo and Neil? Or do you think that if you discuss it with me, I won't be able to protect Theo or Neil?“

Luna pursed her lips into a straight line upon Joshua's words. She looked at him. Her mind was a little confused at that instant. After a while, she came to a realization.

Joshua was blaming her for not discussing it with him when she was threatened by Aura.

Luna was silent for a while. She slowly lowered her head and looked at him. “Joshua, I— “

“You'd rather believe the promises of a pathological liar than believe that I'd try to help you find a solution.“

Joshua looked at Luna. His deep gaze was filled with self-deprecation and indifference.

“From the beginning, you've never discussed it with me once. You think that your obedience would satisfy Aura, so you never considered me once.“

Joshua closed his eyes to not let her see the disappointment and hurt in his eyes.

“In your eyes, I'm a person who could be abandoned at any moment.“

He was the richest and most prestigious man in Banyan City.

However, that night, at the elaborate engagement ceremony he personally prepared for Luna, he became Banyan City's laughingstock.

Although Lucas had already brought his men to painstakingly find all the people in the crowd to silence them, it was impossible for Joshua to not get angry.

Luna bit her lip hard. She could understand his anger. However, at that moment, she truly did not have a choice.

Luna sniffled. She turned to look away, not daring to look at Joshua.

“I'm sorry. I...really had no choice. I was too anxious. I was afraid that she'd do something to Neil and Theo, and that was why..."

Joshua opened his eyes. He sneered a little. “In the end, you still don't trust me. No matter how well I treat you, you still— "

Luna bit her lips harshly, turning back to meet his cold gaze as she mustered the courage to interrupt his words. “Joshua, it's not that I won't trust you. Do you know how much I used to trust you? Whatever you said, I believed you.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1180

“You said that you were busy at work, but I saw with my own eyes how you were socializing with others. Women putting their arms on your shoulders, but I still trusted you, pretended I didn't see it. Why did I stop trusting you, then?“

Luna looked at him and enunciated, “You crushed the trust I placed in you back then. The incident six years ago, until now, I'm still unsure whether you colluded with Aura to harm me, or if it was only one of you that planned it.

“You're good to me and my children now, and I 'm aware of that. I am also very grateful, but this can't wipe away the harm you brought me in the past.

Please don't blame me for not trusting you. Ever since the accident six years ago, I only trust myself.“

Then, Luna took a deep breath, turned around, and strode away.

In the empty and cold venue, Joshua was in his wheelchair, quietly looking at Luna leaving. His gaze gradually turned cold.

Blue Bay Villa.

“Jake, this is your bed! “

The moment they reached home, Nellie immediately pulled Neil into the kid's room.

There were three beds there. The top and bottom bunk beds were for Nigel and Neil. The bed with the pink color tent hanging in the distance was Nellie's.

Nellie tugged on Neil's hand and pointed to the top bunk. “You'll be sleeping here, alright? Because Nigel isn't too well, he can't sleep on the top bunk, so you'll have to! “

Neil furrowed his brows and looked at the top bunk. He had no reaction.

“Sure.“

“As long as you're fine with it! “ Nellie smiled and found Neil's old pajamas and stuffed them in his hands.

“Go wash up and change! I've already gotten Lily to go get you some personal items. We'll have to live in peace together in the future! “

Neil was a little uncomfortable with Nellie's enthusiasm. He was silent for a while, then he went to the bathroom, bringing the pajamas along, with a cold expression.

Soon after, the sounds of water falling came from the bathroom.

Nigel pushed the door and entered. He glanced in the direction of the bathroom, then he looked at Nellie calmly. “Why are you being so nice to him?“

Nellie pursed her lips. “He's not an outsider.“

Even if he lost his memory at that moment and could no longer remember them, he was her brother!

Nigel looked at her deeply. Then, he turned around and sat on his bed. “Listen to me: let him stay in the guest room. You sleep as soundly as a pig. If he was to kill you in the middle of the night, you wou1dn't even notice.“

Nellie glared at him in rebuke. “Nigel, stop talking nonsense! “

She glanced at the bathroom in the distance. After making sure Neil did not hear their conversation,

she immediately said in a suppressed tone, “Even if Neil had lost his memory, he wouldn't do such things.“

Nigel pursed his lips. “How are you so sure?“

Stabbing Joshua with the knife at the beach, embarrassing Joshua and Mommy together with Aura during their engagement ceremony...

Nellie rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to say something but Neil had already finished his shower and came out in pajamas.

Nigel and Nellie suddenly stopped talking.

After Neil came out of the bathroom, he said nothing as he quietly climbed up to his bed and went to sleep.

Nigel and Nellie looked at each other. Then, they both washed up.

He took out a shiny knife from his bag and slowly opened Nellie's tent.
