Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1191

Luna narrowed her eyes, looking at this man who thought too highly of himself.

It was because she did not want to get involved with people like Michael, and that was why she was willing to offer money to settle this incident.

Luna did not feel that 200,000 dollars were little. After all, the engagement was decided at the last minute the night before. From beginning to end, Michael did not lose out on anything.

Luna did not know where he got the courage and confidence from. How dare he ask her for half of Joshua's fortune.

Luna took a deep breath, suppressing the rage in her heart as she then shot Michael a dagger-like stare. “ Micheal, I know you want to go up against Joshua. I also know that you want the Lynch Group assets in his hands, but...“

Luna sneered. “You want to use my marriage as capital to get Joshua's assets? Aren't you being a little delusional? I'm the one making a deal with you. I'm the one who doesn't want to get married to you. Not Joshua. Do you think you'll be able to get half of Joshua's fortune from me?“

Michael changed into a more comfortable position. He leaned back gracefully on the sofa.

“Why won't I be able to? “ He raised his brows and looked at Luna. “If it weren't for Aura Gibson's appearance, making you agree to get engaged with me, you'd already be Joshua's fiance and his future wife.

“Getting Joshua to give out half of his fortune to redeem his wife back from me shouldn't be too much to ask for, right?“

Luna clenched her fists tightly.

Joshua and she were only getting a fake marriage. Even if the marriage was real, Joshua would never take half of his company's assets to joke around with Michael.

She was never important to Joshua. How could he possibly make such a huge sacrifice for her?

Luna took a deep breath and coldly glared at Michael. “Since you like to dream, dream on! After all, it's just a marriage contract. By then, if I'm not willing to get married to you, what can the Lynch family do? Tie me up?“

Then, Luna immediately picked up her documents, turned, and left.

Michael sneered. He immediately stood up and blocked her way.

“Darling fiancée, where are you heading off to? I'll send you.“

Then, Michael said louder, “What? You said you're going to my brother's? Darling, you and I are engaged. Isn't it a little inappropriate for you to stay with my brother?“

This immediately caused a ripple. The once quiet restaurant immediately plunged into a cacophony of discussions because of what Michael said.

The people around could not help but comment on them in hushed tones.

Hearing some of the harsh comments, Luna gritted her teeth. “Let me go!“

Michael smiled and blocked Luna's way in a thuggish manner.

“What if I don't?“

Luna narrowed her eyes. “If you don't, I'll call the police.“

“The police?“ Michael raised his hands and lifted Luna's chin, forcing her to meet his gaze.

“Are you getting the police to see us flirt between husband and wife? You're my fiancée now. No matter what I do to you...can be explained as being flirtatious.“

Looking at Michael's disgusting face, Luna bit her lip. Finally at her limit, she reached out and...

Slap!

The slap landed brutally on Michael's face. Luna released all of her pent -up anger from the moment she arrived until at that moment in that slap.

Michael's head turned to the side and retreated a few steps out of habit.

Just when he lost his footing and was about to fall, a hand supported him from behind.

It was a man in black who supported Michael from behind.

“Be more careful.“”Thank you.” Michael tasted blood. He wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth while turning around to thank the man.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1192

“No need to thank me. I wou1d've done it, too.“

The man's voice was deep and charming. It had hints of mockery and teasing in them, too.

Michael paused for a while and subconsciously turned around to look. The man holding him up was no one else but his stepbrother, Joshua.

Joshua was sitting in his wheelchair. His gaze was flat.

“Second Young Master Michael, you really can't take a beating, can you? Such a petite woman like Luna only slapped you once, yet you can't even stand properly already. Adrian always emphasized health, so how did he bring you up so badly?“

Michael's eyes widened. He licked his lips and looked at Joshua with rage in his eyes.

“Adrian is also your father! “

Joshua raised his brows and laughed. “Is he worthy to be my father?“

Then, Joshua rolled his wheelchair over to Luna and looked at her calmly. “So you came here to flirt with him once the rain subsided?“

Joshua emphasized the word 'flirt'. Luna pursed her lips. Clearly, Joshua had overheard Michael talking about being flirtatious a moment ago.

She took a deep breath and looked at the onlookers' gaze. Her voice was calm. “Everyone, don't be too

startled. I 'm just flirting with Michael—we're just fooling around. He likes to be tortured. If I don't hit him, he'll be unhappy.“

Then, Luna raised her brows and looked at Michael.

“Am I right, my beloved fiancé? Although my slap was a little heavy, you don't need to call the police, right?“

Michael glared at Luna angrily. He gritted his teeth and forced out the word, “Yes.“

Luna suppressed her urge to laugh, and she held the documents close to her form. “I just remembered I had something to do. I'll make a move first.“

Then, she strode away.

Looking at Luna leaving, Michael was so angry that he wanted to break things.

When he picked up the coffee cup, Joshua, who was in his wheelchair by the side, could not help but smile.

“I'll have to remind you that the cup in your hands costs five thousand dollars. You can break it, but your father, Adrian, who is in a butt-load of debt, might not be able to help you with it.“

Joshua's tone was low and aloof, without any emotions in them.

Michael sneered. “Even if my father can't help me out, I'm still the Lynch family's Second Young Master! I'll just get the restaurant to bill it to the Lynch family! “

Then, just to show off his status, Michael threw the cup onto the floor.

Joshua laughed a little.

“Whoever acknowledged you as the Second Young Master of the Lynch family? Just because you hired a few reporters and went around saying you're the Second Young Master, you became one for real?“

Joshua leaned back on his wheelchair, like an emperor sitting on his throne. He announced coldly and arrogantly, “The one in charge of the Lynch family is me. The most respected person in the Lynch family is my grandmother.

“Your father, Adrian, is someone who had been kicked out of the Lynch family, and you dare to claim you're the Second Young Master?“

Joshua looked at the staff of the restaurant by the side and said flatly, “This man who claims to be the Second Young Master of the Lynch family is a con. He has no relationship with the Lynch family at all.“

Then, Joshua wheeled away gracefully.

Michael gritted his teeth and looked at Joshua's back.

“What if I called off the marriage with Luna to exchange for the title of the Second Young Master of the Lynch family?“ Joshua suddenly stopped in his tracks.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1193

Seeing Joshua stop, a hint of delight flashed across Michael's eyes.

This trick worked! Joshua still cared about Luna!

Michael immediately took a deep breath and continued his threats, “Joshua, you might not know this, but Luna had offered me two hundred thousand dollars to call off the marriage, but I turned it down. If you're willing to recognize me as the Second Young Master of the Lynch family, I will— “

Joshua sneered and turned around. He looked at Michael coldly.

“Why should I get you to call off the marriage?“ Joshua interrupted Michael. His deep gaze bore into Michael. His tone was aloof and condescending.

“Since you like to be her fiancé so much, you can continue being her fiancé. We'll take it slowly.“

Then, Joshua turned his wheelchair around and left.

Michael was stunned momentarily before he angrily chased after Joshua.

“Don't you care about Luna? I am her fiancé, and I have the right to do things to her! “

Joshua did not even turn around. “Then, she has the right to do anything she wants to you, too.

“By the way.“ Joshua stopped in his tracks and said, “ You do know that Luna and I have two children, right? The thing my two children hate the most is

other people coming in between Luna and me. If you insist on being Luna's fiancé...

“Whatever the kids do to you, no one can deal with them.“

Then, Joshua left.

“You! “ Michael gritted his teeth. He wanted to chase after Joshua before he was stopped by a staff of Bamboo Palace.

“Sir, you haven't paid the bill. You also have to pay for the cup you broke.“

Michael turned to glare at the waiter fiercely. “Don't you know who I am? I'm the Second Young Master of the Lynch family! Why do I owe you?! “

The waiter sneered. “The Second Young Master who's not acknowledged by the master of the Lynch family. Who the hell do you think you are?“

Upon that, the people in the restaurant started mocking and laughing in hushed tones.

It turned out that the Lynch family did not recognize Michael as the Second Young Master. It was Michael who hired the reporters to make news about him. He wanted to force the Lynch family's hand!

However, he did not expect that not only did the Lynch family not fall for it, but his father was also banished from the Lynch family!

The waves of laughter around made Michael's face fluctuate between turning pale and blue.

He wanted to run, but he had no money. He could not escape at all.

“You people better shut up! “ Michael angrily roared.

“Young Master Michael, why are you so angry?“ Suddenly, a gentle woman's voice rang out.

Michael paused for a while before looking in the direction from which the voice came. It belonged to Aura Gibson, the woman from the night before!

Aura slowly approached him and passed a card to the waiter. “Charge it to this card, including the broken cup.“

Then, she could not help but glance at the waiter coldly. “Don't judge a book by its cover. Since he has the Lynch family blood in him, he'll be the master of the Lynch family sooner or later. Perhaps he'll be even greater than Joshua.“

The waiter accepted the card and immediately rushed to the counter.

“Thank you.“ Michael looked at Aura gratefully. “ You have great taste. I'll be better than Joshua sooner or later! “

Looking at how smug he looked, Aura sneered. However, it was only a fleeting moment.

After that moment, she smiled gently and patted Michael on the shoulder. “Of course, you're much more exceptional compared to Joshua. It's just not your time; you've only lost your rightful powers.“

Aura smiled and passed a business card to Michael. “ Why don't we work together?“

Coming out from Bamboo Palace, Luna immediately got into Joshua's Masevati parked by the entrance.

Soon after, Joshua, in the wheelchair , came out from the restaurant. After passing the wheelchair to Lucas, he got into the car slowly, clutching his stomach which had yet to recover.

”Do you have too much money and nowhere to spend it?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1194

The moment he got in the car, Joshua kept his gaze forward. His tone was indifferent when he spoke.

Luna paused for a while. She knew that he was talking about her planning to give Michael 200,000 dollars to call off the marriage.

She sighed and said, “I just didn't want to cause more trouble.“

Michael was a scoundrel. The night before, because she was threatened and forced to agree to get engaged with him, the problems that arose after that would come one after the other.

Just like the so-called flirting that just happened, it would happen again.

It was because Luna foresaw that happening that she was willing to use the money to get Michael to call off the marriage.

At that moment, all she could think of was how to help Neil regain his memories and how to rescue Theo. She did not have any remaining energy left to deal with Michael.

“But, if you have any display of weakness, he'll only take more advantage of you.“

Joshua turned and looked at Luna closely with his deep gaze.

“You don't have to be afraid of him from now on. If anything, I'm here.“

Luna was completely taken aback by those two short sentences. Her blood froze. She lifted her head in a daze, meeting Joshua's dark, black eyes.

After a while, she blushed and looked away. “This is my own matter...“

When she agreed to get engaged to Michael the night before, she did not seek his approval. How could she blatantly ask for his help at this point?

“Luna.“ Joshua looked at her deeply. “You and I are on the same team right now. If you're distracted because of Michael, am I to help Neil regain his memories alone?“

Luna bit her lip at Joshua's words.

That made sense. He said that he was going to help her solve the problem with Michael because he was afraid that she would be distracted.

Luna thought that...

She took a deep breath and nodded. “Thank you, then. I might have to rely on you in the future.“

Joshua nodded. He closed his eyes and leaned back on the leather seat. “Lucas, drive.“

The car moved.

Luna looked out of the window.

Joshua half-opened his eyes. He looked at her slender and gentle side profile from the cracks of his eyes, and his emotions whirled within him.

When would she finally treat him as someone important to her and willingly accept his sacrifices?

Blue Bay Villa.

Dr. Rowena Shaw came to do a regular check-up on Nigel.

The moment she entered the villa, she saw 'Nigel' sitting in the living area, playing with his Rubik's cube.

“Why are you here alone? Where is Nellie?“ she said while putting the first aid kit down. She bent down in front of 'Nigel' and took his hand, drawing blood from him.

Neil furrowed his brows and looked at the doctor in front of him, not saying anything. He only put his Rubik's cube down and went along with her.

Soon, Dr. Rowena had finished drawing blood. She started extracting other samples.

Neil looked at Dr. Rowena taking all sorts of apparatus to start testing, he could not help but furrow his brows and ask, “Shouldn't you draw Joshua's blood for the DNA test, too?“

Dr. Rowena furrowed her brows. She turned to look a t him, confused.

“What DNA test? Nigel, am I not just giving you a regular check-up?“

Neil paused for a while before realizing his mistake. He looked at Dr. Rowena, picked up his Rubik's cube, and continued playing with his head lowered.

“You've made a mistake. I'm not Nigel. I'm Jake Landry.“

Dr. Rowena was completely stunned. She furrowed her brows and looked at the boy in front of her, who looked exactly like Nigel.

“Are you his twin brother?"

Neil did not even lift his head. “No. I'm his stepbrother. We have the same father.”

Dr. Rowena was even more shocked. “Then why do you both look alike?"

“Because our mothers are sisters." Then, Neil lifted his head. “Is there a problem?"

Dr. Rowena paused for a while. She looked at the test results in front of her. “Yes, there is. You and Nigel are definitely from the same set of parents."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1195

Neil furrowed his brows.

He looked at the female doctor in front of him rather strangely.

“How did you come to this conclusion?“

Dr. Rowena shrugged. She pointed at the indicators of the test she did a moment ago and showed it to Neil.

“Your blood is the same as Nigel's; there are two special types of protein in it. The two special types of proteins are inherited from your parents.

“Joshua, your father, has been my patient before. I've tested this on him before, too. He doesn't have those two proteins in him, so the two proteins you and Nigel have shou1d've been inherited from your mother.“

Neil rolled his eyes at her. “I've already said that our mothers are biological sisters. There should be genetic material that is the same. Could you be wrong?“

Dr. Rowena furrowed her brows. It would be very rare for biological sisters to possess the same two proteins yet, at the same time, pass it on to the next generation.

If the boy in front of her and Nigel are not identical twins, it would be impossible for them to have the same two proteins at the same time.

Dr. Rowena took a deep breath. Before she could think of how to explain such a complex concept to a Six-year-old, a child’s voice rang from upstairs.

“Aura Gibson and my Mommy aren’t biological sisters.”

Nellie slowly walked down the stairs. “Aura has once told my Mommy that she was the wrong child Grandpa picked up from the orphanage.”

Neil furrowed his brows tightly. Behind Nellie, Nigel also came downstairs with his laptop.

Both of them walked over to Neil and sat down next to him on each side.

Nigel slowly stretched his hands out to Dr. Rowena. “Doctor”

Dr. Rowena nodded and immediately drew blood from Nigel to re-test.

Neil furrowed his brows and looked at Nellie. “But my Mommy said…”

Nellie pursed her lips. “If you don’t believe me, find an opportunity to look for Aura. Go get her hair and nail samples, and then get Mommy’s hair and nail samples.

“After all, Daddy said he’s going to bring you to do a DNA test in the next few days. You could do it at the same time. Bring Aura and my Mommy’s DNA along.”

“You can check and see whether Aura and my Mommy are biological sisters or not. Then you can check and see whether or not you are Aura’s biological son,” said Nellie, shooting Nigel a wink afterward.

That was not her main intention. If she were to get Neil and Luna to go for a DNA test, Neil would surely refuse.

After all, he had lost his memories. He thought that Aura was his mother, that Luna and the rest were all his enemies. Neil would never believe that he was the enemy's child. On the contrary, he would think that they were deliberately trying to humiliate him.

If Nellie were to say that Aura and her Mommy were not biological sisters, asking Neil to go and confirm it, he would surely have agreed to it.

To get him to gather Aura and Luna's DNA samples, then do a DNA test with his...

When the truth would get revealed right in front of his eyes, Neil would definitely believe his own identity!

The more Nellie thought of it, the more she felt that she was brilliant. “It's a deal, Jake. I want to know as well. Mommy and Aura's characters are so different. Are they really biological sisters?“

Neil furrowed his brows and looked at Nellie. He felt that Nellie's words were a little intentional that day.

“I'll...think about it.“

Then, he took his Rubik's cube and immediately headed upstairs.

When he returned to the kid's room, Neil was on his upper bunk bed, looking at the wall, flipping around.

His mind was filled with what the doctor said a moment ago.

“You and Nigel are definitely from the same set of parents."

Neil closed his eyes. How could this be?

However, if the doctor did not have any evidence, how could she say such a thing?

Also, throughout the day being with them, Neil realized that other than looking exactly like Nigel, a lot of their habits were the same.

For example, Nellie had a sweet tooth, and she liked foods with a stronger taste. However, both he and Nigel did not like it.

Another example was how when Nigel was in a bad mood, he also liked to stare at one spot in a daze...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1196

The more Neil thought of it, the more upset he became. It was as if there was a huge boulder sitting on his heart, something that he could not move away from nor ignore.

After a long while, he could no longer take it. He picked his phone up and went to the backyard garden to make a call.

When she picked up Neil's call, Aura had just left Michael.

She was lying on the sofa in the hotel. Looking at the called ID, she frowned a little.

If she recalled correctly, the night before, she and that little b*stard had set a time to only contact each other once every three days.

Only a day had passed, yet he had already actively reached out to her?

Aura narrowed her eyes and picked up the phone.

“Mother.“

On the other end of the line was Neil's voice. “Are you and Luna really biological sisters?“

Aura furrowed her brows. “Why are you suddenly asking this?“

Neil took a deep breath. He carefully said, “Just now, Nellie said that you and Luna aren't biological sisters

Aura narrowed her eyes. “Why are you suddenly talking about this?“

“Just now...a doctor came to Blue Bay Villa. She said Nigel and I should be biological brothers from the same set of parents. I do feel that Nigel and I have a lot of the same habits, likes, and dislikes, but I thought that it was because you and Luna are sisters. Then, Nellie said that you both aren't biological sisters...“

Neil bit his lip. The moment he finished what he said, he asked a little sheepishly, “Mother, should I have not bothered you with these questions? Should I have not asked you these questions?“

Aura was always strict and aloof with Neil. Whenever Neil used to have things on his mind, he would confide in Uncle Theo.

However, Uncle Theo had been locked up while Neil was living with the Lynch family, the enemy.

No matter what, he was just a six—year—old child, and he would not be able to process some emotions himself. Only then did he decide to call Aura after weighing it.

Aura, on the other end of the line, narrowed her eyes. She never would have thought that Neil would start suspecting these things when he had just stayed there for a day.

Aura initially thought that with Neil's natural trust in his mother, whether it was Luna or Joshua, no one would be able to persuade him otherwise within three days.

However, she had neglected Nigel and Nellie, those two little b*tches!

It was true that children were more likely to listen to their peers and be misled by them.

At that thought, Aura squinted. A new idea came to her.

“Jake. “ Aura took a deep breath. She looked at the outside world through the windows in a fixed gaze.

“Actually, I never wanted to tell you this, but now that you've started suspecting Nigel's identity, I could only tell you the truth. The truth is...“

Aura sighed.

“I didn't just give birth to you back then.“

Neil's eyes widened.  “Mother, what do you mean?“

“When I was pregnant, the doctor said that I might have twins or triplets in my womb. But when I gained consciousness, it was only you left. All these

years, I was unsure how many children I gave birth to back then...

“When I saw how Nigel looked so much like you, I also suspected whether Nigel is my son...“

Then, Aura took a deep breath and continued, “Jake, I recently found a DNA Diagnostic Center that will produce results in the shortest time possible, but they said that if I wanted to do the quickest DNA test, the person in question have to be there at the center to draw blood...

“If you have the chance, could you secretly sneak Nigel and Nellie out? I want to...secretly have a DNA test with them to see if we're related.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1197

Neil clutched the phone tightly in his hand.

His heart raced wildly. After arranging with Aura to find an opportunity to get Nigel and Nellie out, Neil sat on the bench in the garden anxiously.

It seemed that his gut was not wrong. The doctor might not be wrong either.

Nigel and he were very likely identical twins. Perhaps even Nellie was born at the same time!

However, he was feeling complicated at such a thought. On one hand, he was happy that he could finally have real siblings.

On the other hand, he felt that Joshua and Luna were utterly pretentious the more he thought of the idea.

How could they pretend to be benevolent parents to other people's children?

During dinner, Neil unprecedentedly took food for Luna and Joshua.

Both Luna and Joshua were shocked yet delighted. Luna looked at Neil, and she then looked at Joshua. Joshua was also looking at her, and their eyes, filled with surprise, met.

Nellie, by the side, smiled and looked at them. She chuckled calmly. “Are you surprised? Let me tell you.“

Nellie smiled while taking food for Neil. “Jake finally thought it through this afternoon! He thought that no matter what, we are family. A family should get along with each other! “

Then, Nellie winked at Luna. She placed the plate of cookies in front of Luna.

“Jake made this for me and Nigel this afternoon! It tastes great, so I kept some for both of you! “

Nellie enthusiastically chirped, “Daddy, Mommy, try some!”

Joshua looked at the plate of cookies calmly. He turned to look at Nigel and Nellie. “Have you had some already this afternoon?“

Nellie nodded seriously. “Mmh! “

Nigel, on the other hand, lowered his gaze and looked at the time. He said seriously, “Nellie and I ate the cookies around four-thirty in the afternoon. It has been two and a half hours since.“

Then, Nigel looked at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, don't worry. Any ordinary laxatives or poison should take effect within two hours. Nellie and I aren't showing any symptoms of chest pain, headache, and diarrhea. There is no poison.“

Nigel's words instantly turned the atmosphere at the dining table cold. Nellie and Luna's jaws dropped. They never thought that Nigel would say such things.

Joshua slightly squinted. He let out a sigh of relief inconspicuously.

Neil sneered. He immediately reached out and grabbed hold of the plate of cookies. “Since Mr. Lynch and Ms. Luna think I bear ill intentions of trying to poison you, then you don't need to eat them! "

The visibly saddened Neil immediately lifted the plate, wanting to throw it backward.

Luna immediately held onto the other end of the plate and placed it back on the table.

“Jake, don't be angry. They're just  joking. We... We're not suspecting you of poisoning the cookies. "

Luna turned to look at Nigel. “Y—You just don't understand Nigel. Nigel is a kid who likes to joke around. He's just fooling around. Joshua doesn't mean anything by that either."

Neil laughed.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1198

“Whether Nigel is a kid who likes to joke, I can still see for myself. You guys just don't trust me. Since you don't trust me, why did you bring me here?“

Then, Neil struggled to grab the plate, but Luna pressed it down with force.

In the end, the plate could not bear the struggle, and it immediately slipped right out of both of their hands.

Crash!

The plate fell, and the cookies were scattered all over the floor.

The entire dining room fell into silence.

Neil smiled. “Great, now no one gets poisoned.“ Then, he took a deep breath and strode upstairs.

He did not even swerve past the broken plate shards, and the pieces pierced through his slippers, stabbing into his feet. However, it was as if he did not feel any pain. Neil continued heading upstairs.

The kids' room door slammed shut loudly.

By the dining table, the family of four looked at each other. After a long while, Luna looked at Joshua with rebuke. “Why did you have to ask such a question? “

Joshua looked at Nigel. “I only casually asked when you all ate the cookies.“

Nigel lowered his head, playing with his food while saying flatly, “Mr. Lynch, don't pass the buck. Since you asked us this question in front of him, he surely would've known what you were thinking. I was only stating the problem as it is.“

Then, Nigel put his utensils down. “I don't think my reply had any problems.“

Although Jake was Neil who had lost his memory, he was still one of Aura's people. He still hated the Lynch family.

Nigel even saw with his own eyes how Neil held a knife standing by Nellie's bed the night before.

Although he did not go through with it in the end, since he took the knife and went over regardless, that meant that he had the intention.

Nigel thought that being more on guard with someone like that was not wrong.

Looking at how Joshua and Nigel were unwilling to admit their mistakes, Luna sighed.

She reached out and picked up the crumbs of the cookies which fell on the table and placed them in her mouth.

It was sweet and aromatic.

It had the same taste as the cookies she had taught Neil when they were abroad!

Luna lifted her head in surprise. She coincidentally met Nellie's smiling gaze.

“It tastes great, right, Mommy? It's as great as the cookies Neil used to make! “

Nellie smiled. “So, even if Neil had lost his memories, he still remembered how to make the cookies you taught him! I think he should be able to regain his memories soon! “

Luna could not help but be delighted upon hearing what Nellie said. Although she did not know what was the fastest way to help Neil regain his memories, and even though he lost his memories, he still remembered the name she gave him and the things that she taught him.

How could Luna not be moved by that?

“Mommy.“ Nellie lifted her head and told Luna about how Neil agreed to take Aura's hair and fingernail DNA.

“I think Neil will believe us when the evidence is right in front of him! “

Joshua nodded and looked at Nellie. “This is a good idea, but how are you going to get Aura's hair or fingernails for a DNA test with just a few of you little brats?“

Nellie pursed her lips. “Of course, we'll be able to do it! Neil told us this afternoon that he knows where Aura is staying. Tomorrow, when Aura heads out, the three of us will sneak into her place to gather the DNA! “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1199

Luna furrowed her brows.

Joshua, by the side, also coldly swept Nellie a glance.

“Only the three of you are going to get the DNA samples?“ Joshua furrowed his brows. “Just get him to tell us where Aura is staying. I can just send my men to do it.“

Joshua thought that things like obtaining DNA samples would not need those three kids to do it.

Any bodyguard they had was professionally trained. They did things cleanly and swiftly, with no room for error.

“But Neil wants to head there himself.“

Nigel slowly lifted his head. “He said that Aura doesn't stay in one place all the time. Also, she's extremely guarded. If we're to send men to do it, it'll alert her sooner or later.

“But if he were to head there himself, Aura won't be suspicious. She'll only think that he wants to see her.

“As for bringing both of us...“ Nigel looked at Nellie helplessly. “Nellie's only afraid that Neil might not return after going to see Aura, so she thought of following him.“

Then, Nigel lifted his gaze and looked at Joshua. “ Daddy, what do you think?“

Joshua furrowed his brows. He looked at Nigel meaningfully. “Are you done with your meal?“

Nigel paused for a while before putting his utensils down. “I was done long ago.“

“Push me upstairs.“ Joshua rolled his wheelchair backward a little. “We'll talk in detail.“

Nigel nodded and ran over, grabbed Joshua's wheelchair handles, and pushed him toward the elevator, albeit with difficulty.

Looking at the elevator door shutting, Luna sighed heavily. She wanted to say something when she noticed blood spots on the staircase.

She furrowed her brows tightly. The bloodstains...

She subconsciously looked at the broken plate. Sure enough, the blood trail started from there.

She immediately got up while calling for the servants to clean it up and instructed Nellie not to get down. Then, she went around the broken pieces and headed upstairs.

Upstairs in the kids' room, Neil was biting on a towel, using tweezers to take out the broken pieces stuck in the sole of his foot.

He was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, yet he did not let out a single sound.

It took him by surprise when Luna pushed the door open. He almost knocked over the bottle of alcohol on the table.

Luna immediately rushed over to catch it, so the bottle of alcohol did not spill to the ground.

“Thank you.“ Neil reluctantly spat out. Then, he placed his feet, which had pieces of broken plate still lodged in them, down.

“Is there anything I can help you with?“

Luna looked at the pieces of the broken plate on the table and the bloodstains on Neil's hands and feet. Her heart ached terribly.

Neil used to be a kid who would yell out loud whenever he was in pain. He liked to act like a spoiled child whenever he was in pain, asking his mother and sister for good food, asking his older brother to care for him.

Although he did it exaggeratedly, Luna knew he did it on purpose. He wanted to use his pain to liven the mood. At the same time, not let himself feel so much pain.

However, at that moment, Neil bore through all the pain himself, biting on a towel dealing with his wounds...

In a way, this was Neil's truest self when he was injured.

Luna sighed and walked over to Neil, sitting next to him. Neil furrowed his brows and looked at her.

Then, he retreated backward.

However, he was only a six-year-old child. How could he dodge a grown adult?

Luna immediately grabbed hold of Neil's ankle, exposing his injured sole of the feet. There were still a few broken pieces lodged in them.

She sighed and clutched onto his ankle, while gently taking the broken pieces out of his feet with the tweezers.

“How could you be so careless?“

Neil was initially seated, but when Luna tugged at him, he was forced to lie back on the bed. He could not exert his strength. Luna clutched onto his ankle tightly. It was quite painful, so Neil just gave up struggling.

However, even though his body stopped struggling, he was still defiant in his speech. He furrowed his brows and looked at Luna.

“It's none of your business whether I'm careless or not. I've already said to stop being a hypocrite and pretentious with me! I 'm not Nigel or Nellie. This won't work on me! “

Luna furrowed her brows. “Even if I'm being a hypocrite, even if I'm being pretentious, I'm helping you to clean your wound. What do you have to lose? Why are you resisting it?“

When she took the final piece of the broken plate out, she took a cotton bud, dipped it in alcohol, and helped Neil disinfect his wound.

“Furthermore, you're hurt. I'm pretentious just because I care for you? Should I just sit and watch you dress your own wounds badly, wait until it gets infected and you fall sick, and only then I'm not pretentious?

“Do you think you're not worthy of compassion from others nor worthy of being concerned by others?“

Then, Luna slapped Neil's butt. “I forbid you to say such nonsense anymore! “

Her slap was not painful, but Neil's eyes had tears in them. He did not know whether it was because his butt hurt or his foot hurt, or perhaps...what Luna said pierced through him.

She was right.

No one else had cared for him apart from Uncle Theo.

Neil could not remember the past, but his mother told him that it was because he was not obedient and did not listen to her, so the house exploded.

He caused a huge loss for his family and also made his and Uncle Theo's body to deteriorate badly.

Uncle Theo still had repercussions from his illness.

That was why his mother did not like him. His mother's bodyguards hated him, too.

Ever since he could recall, whether he got hurt or fell, or even being whipped by his mother...

Only Uncle Theo would care for him.

Neil also slowly got used to such a life. He thought that in this world, other than Uncle Theo, no one else would care for him anymore.

After all, even his mother would scold and beat him. This was why he thought Luna and Joshua were pretentious.

How could a stranger care for him, a child whom his own mother hated, without any reason?

However, at that moment, Luna treated his wound seriously and attentively. She was afraid that it would hurt him, so her actions were extremely gentle.

Neil felt as if his heart had been pierced through. Soft, warm blood started flowing in, seeping through his entire body. That not only made him want to cry, but his body felt hot, too.

After Luna dressed his wounds, she turned around and noticed the tear-stricken Neil.

She smiled and gently patted his head. “That's more like it. You're only six years old. Children in pain need to let it out and cry. If you don't cry now, you won't be able to cry when you're grown up.“

Then, Luna pressed Neil down to bed and tucked him in.

“Didn't you say you want to go get Aura's DNA tomorrow? Don't try to touch the ground with this foot tonight, or you won't be able to head out tomorrow.“

Neil bit his lip and looked at Luna in a daze.

“Y—You... You're willing to let Nigel and Nellie follow me to get DNA samples from my mother?“

If the DNA test tomorrow proved that Nigel and Nellie were like him, that they belonged to Aura... Luna...would be disappointed, right?
