Ch. 1241..1250

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1241

Crouching in a flower bed, Luan listened as Aura's voice drifted further and further away, her mind buzzing with the newfound information.

Who was the 'sis' that Aura was talking about? Aura also said six years ago, she could trick her into suspecting Joshua tried to kill her. Now, six years later, she could also kill her, while harboring hatred for Joshua. That meant...

Joshua was really being honest, the incident six years ago was orchestrated by Aura alone! Now, Aura wanted to commit the same crime, and kill her while hating and blaming Joshua for it. Plus, how Aura tried to poison her tonight, just like how granny was poisoned all those years ago...

Just the thought of it chilled Luna to the bone. She wished to rush up to her, pull her down and beat her up, then burn her and scatter her ashes in the wind !

But Luna knew very well that she could not do so yet. Firstly, whether six years ago , or right now, Luna had no evidence that Aura was trying to harm her. Secondly, Aura moved into the villa in such a high - profile manner , and now just a day had passed, if she really tried to do anything to Aura, Luna would not be able to explain herself when the police came running. Joshua was right. If they had no concrete evidence or ideas, they had no choice but to suck it up. So, even if she hated the other woman with a passion, Luna could only bottle up all her anger and pretend as if she did not know anything. All she could do was lie in wait for a chance.

In the next few days, every meal Luna had, she would be particularly careful, first testing the food with the chemical the doctor gave her. In every meal, the chemical would turn green in at least one or two of the dishes. Every time, Luna pretended to eat all of them.

At the same time, she knew that Aura must have a limited supply of the poison. Otherwise, according to her vicious personality, she would not just poison one or two of the dishes. So Luna was not worried that Aura would harm Lily or other servants who were close to her and just focused on herself.

Very soon, Aura could not take the peace and quiet anymore. She yelled furiously into her phone, ”Sis, the poison that you gave me, are you sure it's the one the Larson family poisoned Granny Lynch with? Back then, in just a month, the old lady was so sick that she could barely even stand, right?”

She stood in her room, watching Luna from the French windows as she hailed a taxi to work. ”It's already been a month, but she's still strong like a bull, she doesn ' t seem to be poisoned at all ! Wh at's happening?”

A woman's faint, indifferent voice drifted over the phone. ”Why are you suspicious of me? We're real sisters, would I lie to you? The poison I gave you was stolen from the old man, only a little was left after it was used on the old lady all those years ago , I gave all of them to you. Instead of being suspicious of me, you should just be suspicious of yourself , whether you measured the right amount.”

At the other woman's clipped voice, Aura bit her lower lip harshly, there was even a hint of a sob in her voice. “Sis, I'm so angry! Theo ran away, Neil too. Even though I'm staying in Blue Bay Villa, Joshua is either surrounded by a bunch of his secretaries or a bunch of his doctors. Whenever I walk into his room, more than lo pairs of eyes are staring at me! Luna is not in the villa for most of the day, either she's working or in the hospital or at the old residence. Now besides poisoning Luna every day, there's nothing I can do around here! “

She thought even without Theo and Neil, as long as she moved into the villa, her plan could still go on. But to her surprise...now she was the only one monitored and watched on by dozens of servants and bodyguards every single day!

On the other end of the phone, there was a pause, then the woman laughed, “Idiot. If you're sure Luna had been taking the poison for two weeks, then the concentration of poison in her body is almost at the necessary level. It's time to reel in your catch.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1242

Aura ended the call in low spirits, turned and sat on the bed, then switched on the television. The news was on.

“The second son of the Lynch family, Michael Lynch was jailed for a month for intentionally causing harm. When he was released this morning, he stated that he would turn over a new leaf from now on... “

Watching the news, Aura's eyes brightened. She crawled up off the bed and hurriedly dialed Michael's number.

“Director Luna, everyone's going out for dinner and drinks tonight, are you coming?“

In the design department at the Lynch Group. The moment the workday was over, Shannon stuck her head in the crack of the door to Luna's office. “ You've been working so hard for the past month; you deserve a rest. Relax a little.“

Luna chuckled but shook her head. “No, thank you, my son is getting re-examined today, I want to check up on the results.“

Shannon sighed and took her head out of the door.

For the past month since Luna returned to work, every day all she did was work and rush to the hospital. Even if Luna herself did not feel exhausted, just watching her wore Shannon out. But Luna herself did not feel the same way.

Very soon, Luna arrived at the hospital in a taxi.

“Mommy! “ The moment she stepped through the door, she heard Neil's clear voice.

Luna curled her lips and looked in the direction of the voice. Neil was actually standing at the side of the bed with the support of a walking stick!

Beside him, Theo was supporting him on the other side, looking thinner than usual. “Children recover fast, they say bones take loo days to grow back, but in slightly more than a month, he's back on his feet.“

Luna sighed helplessly, rushing up to them and holding him up, then placed him carefully down on the bed. “You still need more rest, don't force yourself to stand. It's important that your bones recover fully.“

Neil pouted, sounding wronged as he said, “I just want to show you that I've recovered.“

Luna sighed, reached out, and softly ruffled the little boy's new-grown hair. “Mommy knows you've recovered, but still you need your rest.“

Neil pouted. “But I 'm growing stale here. Nigel and Nellie are always with Great -Granny too, they don't have time to spend with me. I also want to recover my memories as soon as possible...“

“There's no rush.“ Luna comforted the little guy helplessly for a while, then handed the dinner she brought them to Theo and started eating with him.

As he ate, Theo frowned. “It's been almost a month now, Aura hasn't tried anything yet?“

Luna shrugged. “She must be waiting for the poison to take effect." Unfortunately, she would be disappointed.

Just when Luna let out a sigh of relief and was about to change the topic, her phone rang. It was an unknown number. She frowned and answered.

“Luna." A man's low voice drifted over from the other end of the phone. “I'm Michael Lynch. I was released."

Luna frowned and wanted to hang up when he said, “ I'm at Blue Bay Villa now. Granny asked me to come here to apologize to you and Joshua in person. When will you be coming home?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1243

Luna's eyebrows screwed tightly together at Michael's words from the other end of the phone.

Michael was in the villa right now, waiting for her so he could apologize face -to -face?! Even though he said it was the old lady's idea, somehow, she felt he was harboring not-so-innocent motives.

She pursed her lips and lowered her voice. “I'm busy now, I might be home late.“

“It's fine.“ On the other end of the phone, Michael took a deep breath. “I'll wait, till whatever time you come home. Granny said...if I don't apologize to you face -to-face today and record a video as proof, she would allow me back into the Lynch Mansion. So no matter what time you come home, I'll wait.“

There was a hitch in her breathing. She did not continue speaking but instead ended the call immediately. Hearing Michael said he would wait for her the entire night made her feel like spending the night at Anne's place instead.

“Mommy, maybe you should go home.“ Beside her, Neil sighed quietly, then reached out and grabbed one of her fingers. “Since Great-Granny asked him to go then perhaps she wants to see him apologizing to you, and you forgiving him. She's so ill... Even if it's just to make her happy, maybe you should sacrifice a little.“

Luna's chest warmed up. Neil was always like this. He had suffered the most when so many harbored deep-

seated hatred for him, but he was so pure and kind to everyone.

Since Nigel said that, Luna could only take a deep breath, reached out, and ruffled his spiky, porcupine hair. ”Alright, I'll listen to you.”

Neil's hair was pulled off by Aura when she tortured him, even his scalp was injured, so the doctor shaved all of his hair off, so it would be easier to treat his wounds. After more than a month's worth of treatment , the little boy's hair had already grown back, like little young shoots that just shot through the earth, making its way up obstinately. His hair was dark, slightly itchy, and prickly to the touch. But Luna always loved to pat his little head, feeling as if his new hair signified his rebirth.

Neil knew Mommy loved to pat his head, so he did not move and allowed Luna to pat her head however much she wanted. When she grew tired, he pulled her hand off and squeezed her hand softly. ”Alright, Mommy, you should head home.”

Only then did Luna bid goodbye to Theo and Neil, stood up, and left the hospital.

The night was getting darker.

When Luna took a taxi back to the Blue Bay Villa, she saw Michael standing at the door of the villa holding a large bouquet of flowers.

It was late autumn and dozens of fallen leaves were scattered all over him, it looked as if he had been waiting there for a long time.

Seeing the taxi slide to a stop, Michael hurriedly jogged up to the taxi with the bouquet of flowers and

a smile on his face. “Luna, you're back! "

Luna frowned in slight disgust, then stepped out of the car.

“I thought it would be a while before you came home."

Luna headed in the direction of the villa while Michael rushed to keep up with her. “If you accept my apology, please hold this bouquet of flowers as I take a video of you to show Granny, okay?"

She ignored him and strode into the Blue Bay Villa. Michael frowned, completely displeased.

Why was she so arrogant?

All he did was push her a little, and for that, he rotted in jail for a month. Now, he came to apologize and she was acting so haughty and aloof?

If Aura did not say that at night, he could...he would never swallow his pride and lower himself in front of her!

Luna walked into the garden outside the villa with Michael on her heels and switched on the lights. The entire garden was lit up as bright as day.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1244

The woman shifted her eyes onto Michael and glanced at him indifferently. "Didn't you say you wanted to record a video? The streetlights were so dim just now, even if the video was recorded, the old woman would have a hard time seeing anything.“

Only then did Michael realize that Luna had been ignoring him before, because she wanted to find a place with a good source of lightning. He snorted from the bottom of his heart and cursed her for being so particular with detail.

However, as soon as the lights came on, he could clearly see Luna's long legs wrapped in black trousers and her slim figure hidden under the windbreaker.

The man looked at her, his eyes stained with desire. He thought of what Aura had promised him. If tonight, he could... No matter how low he had to bend his bend, it was worth it!

Thinking of this, he hurriedly stuffed the bouquet of flowers into Luna's hand, and placed his phone on a stand as he praised her, "Ms. Luna, you're really kind. This is the first time I have seen such a...a beautiful and kind-hearted woman! "

Luna's brows screwed together fiercely as she noticed the man's gaze on her growing more and more inappropriate, her discomfort growing accordingly. But she promised Neil she would do it, so she would.

"Granny, don't worry, I already forgave Michael, and I won't pursue this matter any further." She held the bunch of flowers and looked into the camera. "I hope you can take good care of your health, you will definitely get better."

After she finished, she let out a long sigh of relief and pushed the bouquet of flowers back into Michael's hands. As she did so, he took the opportunity and fondled the back of her hands.

The action seemed deliberate, but also unintentional.

Luna felt cold all over, fine hair standing up where he touched her, making her feel uncomfortable as if she had accidentally run into something supernatural. "It's okay, I'm going home."

Dropping these words coldly, she immediately headed upstairs. After returning to her room, she kept scrubbing the back of the hand that Michael had touched with warm water, but no matter how many times she washed it, it still felt dirty.

In the end, she slathered a big blob of hand cream on her hands and then searched for the webpage streaming the latest foreign jewelry design exhibition to divert her attention.

After watching the exhibit, there was a knock on the door. It was Lily. "Ms. Luna, it's time for dinner."

Luna furrowed her eyebrows. "Just ask a servant to bring the food up here."

She had been eating in her room all this time. Although she, Joshua and Aura all lived under the same roof, the three of them did not see each other almost every single day.

This was also the reason why Aura had been increasing the dosage of the poison she laced her food with recently.

She was in a hurry.

Lily stood outside the door for a moment in silence. Then, she said, "Ms. Gibson said...Today, both you and Mr. Lynch have to go downstairs to eat in person. We have a guest at home today."

A guest?

Luna furrowed her eyebrows and took out her cell phone to send a message to Joshua.

(A visitor is here? Who?] An answer came quickly.

(I don't know either, just eat downstairs. I haven't seen you in a long time.]

His two short sentences made Luna blush inexplicably. She took a deep breath, turned off the video of the jewelry design exhibition, went to the bathroom to wash her face, tidied her messy hair, and changed into solemn home clothes before heading downstairs.

Three people were seated at the dining table downstairs.

Aura who has no good intentions, Joshua whom she had not seen in a long time, and...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1245

Besides Aura and Joshua, Michael also sat at the table in a well-pressed suit and yet failed to look elegant at all.

Seeing Luna walk downstairs, Michael hurriedly stood up with a bright smile on his face. “Luna.“

Luna frowned and glanced at him, confusion filling her eyes. Did he not come here to record an apology video? Why was he still here after the video was filmed?

Reading her confusion, Aura lifted her lips faintly. “I invited Michael in. It's late, he hasn't had dinner yet, the villa is so big, an extra seat at the table wouldn't make much of a difference.“

With that, she lifted her eyebrows and side-eyed Luna. “Sis, don't tell me you don't even allow Michael to come in for a meal?“

Luna's eyebrows screwed together fiercely at her words. She curled her lips, “I don't mind an extra seat at the table, but...“ She sat down in her spot, her cold eyes sweeping across at the other woman. “You and I are not close enough for you to address me as your sister. Besides...“

She glanced at her coldly. “Don't you already have a sister?“

Aura's face paled instantly. How did she know...

“It's just a form of address.“ Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two women, Michael

hurriedly tried to break the tension, all the while hanging a smile on his face. All he could think about was what was going to happen tonight. He did not want their fight to spoil his plans for the night.

“Let's eat! “ As he spoke, he started to put a drumstick onto Joshua's plate. “Joshua, you just recovered, you should eat more.“

Joshua glanced at him indifferently, took the drumstick, and threw it into the trash can beneath his feet.

Michael's complexion turned ghostly white. But at the thought of what was waiting in store for him tonight...he endured the humiliation.

The atmosphere at the dining table was tense.

Luna pretended to cover her mouth and nose with a tissue, secretly dripping a few drops of the chemical into the bowl of soup in front of her and her glass of water. There were no changes to her water, but the change in color in the bowl of soup was even more drastic than usual.

Joshua read all of her actions clear as day, he knew very well what the change in the color of the food signified. So he quietly switched his food with Luna's.

Luna paused, raised her head and looked at him. This was the first time she had seen him in a long while. Because she did not want Aura to make a fuss about her relationship with Joshua, she had been deliberately keeping her distance from him. Even though they stayed under the same roof, they had been communicating through the phones alone.

They had not seen each other in almost a month.

Joshua seemed to be recovering well, the color had returned to his cheeks, he no longer looked weak and frail. But his strong and well-defined jawline seemed to be even sharper now from his recent loss of weight.

Seeing her stare fixedly at him, Joshua lifted his lips in a faint smile. “I don't want chicken soup, I prefer your vegetable soup. I think it tastes better.“

Joshua's initial intention was to move the poisoned food to his own seat. He was worried Luna would forget about them as she ate and accidentally drank the bowl of poisoned soup.

But to Michael's eyes, his actions held a different meaning. Joshua was showing off his love for Luna in front of him?

So he narrowed his eyes, and could not help it anymore, immediately reaching out for the bowl of vegetable soup in front of Joshua and finished it in one big gulp.

Under the shocked gaze of the three other people at the table, he placed his own bowl of mushroom soup in front of Joshua. “Joshua, you're still not in full health yet, how can you drink vegetable soup? It's not nutritious enough.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1246

“Drink mine.“ Seeing the empty bowl in front of Joshua, Luna was stunned.

This...

Beside them, Aura was furious.

Michael that idiot! That was the last of the poison she had! She wanted to personally watch Luna drink it and wait for the poison to take effect tonight! But that idiot had drunk it all!

Joshua smiled happily at the fury and annoyance in Aura's eyes. "Then I would really like to thank my brother for caring about my health so much and giving me this bowl of soup." With that, he took the bowl of mushroom soup and drank it.

Michael did not understand the meaning behind Joshua's words but thought that Joshua deliberately smiled to save himself because he had failed at his attempt to flaunt his love in public.

Michael was even happier, he sneered as he ate, curling his lips as he said, “Don't thank me, it's what I should do."

Seeing his smug look, Luna silently shook her head, then lowered her head and continued to eat.

Fortunately, this type of poison was slow-acting and required multiple inhalations before its effects could be felt. Otherwise, if he drank so much at once, Michael will definitely have to be rushed to the emergency room tonight.

The atmosphere at the dining table was quiet and weird.

Luna was the first to finish. She put down her fork and spoon, bid goodbye to the other three people seated at the table indifferently, and headed upstairs.

Seeing her walk upstairs, Joshua also put down his cutlery and left.

Soon, only Michael and Aura were left at the table.

"Ha.“ Looking in the direction where Joshua left, Michael snorted, his eyes full of pride. "And still Joshua tried to drink Luna's soup to flaunt their love in front of us! After I drank that bowl of soup, he actually pretended to thank me very happily. In fact, he was furious, right?"

Aura massaged between her eyebrows helplessly, then turned her eyes to look at the man beside her. " Idiot."

Michael did not hear her calling him an idiot, and instead, was very proud of himself.

After a while, after realizing that Aura did not even bother to talk to him, he frowned and asked, "Say, when will the drug take effect?"

Aura sneered and looked down at her watch. "In another half an hour, the effects of the drug will definitely manifest."

In fact, apart from putting the Larson family's ancestral poison in the soup for Luna tonight, she also put a strong dose of drugs in the food that all four of them shared.

She had it all planned, when the effects of the poison were felt by Luna, at the same time, the strong dose of drugs would take effect on all of their bodies. By then, Luna would be laying pinned beneath Michael, unable to move.

Joshua would be with her, he would not have the time nor chance to take care of Luna. This way, Luna would not be sent to the hospital in time, even if she survived, she would definitely hate Joshua to his guts. However, all of this...was ruined by that idiot Michael Lynch!

However, it was fine. Even if Luna did not die from the effects of the poison tonight... She would definitely lose herself to Michael tonight. When she wakes up in the morning and realizes that Joshua had slept with Aura... She was utterly confident that Luna would go berserk!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1247

After dinner, Luna returned to her room and continued watching the video of the jewelry design exhibition. But somehow, she felt hot. Even after lowering the temperature on the air-conditioning and goosebumps appeared all over her skin from the cold air, she still felt hot. She thought she had fallen sick, so she took a shower. And felt even hotter. In the end, she had no choice but to walk to the balcony in her pajamas and sip on some water.

That was odd. It was already autumn, fallen leaves were strewn all over the garden, and yet she felt so hot that she wanted to immerse her entire body in ice water.

“Luna.“ Suddenly, a man's low voice drifted into her ears. She frowned and unconsciously looked in the direction of the voice.

In the little garden beneath her balcony, the tall and lean man stood there with a smile, an ash grey trench coat hanging from his shoulders. The moonlight shone on his well-defined features, making him look particularly handsome.

Luna's heart fluttered at the sight in front of her. As if, as if they had both returned to the time she first met him all those years ago.

Back then, he stood beneath a cherry blossom tree in a white shirt, looked at her as she sat in the tree, and smiled lightly, asking her why she climbed so high up.

He startled her, and with a moment's loss of balance, she fell off of the tree and into his arms.

Back then, she was held in his arms, she felt the warmth of his unfamiliar hug and studied his side - profile, all cold hard angles, and sharp features.

Since then, she fell in love with him, hook, line, and sinker. To her surprise, on an autumn night many years later, she could still see him looking at her like this.

Seeing her stand on the balcony, staring at him in a daze, he lifted his lips in a faint smile. “I couldn't fall asleep, so I wanted to treat you to a cup of tea.“

Luna laughed in amusement at his words, “You never used to eat and drink tea, didn't you?“

He lifted his eyebrows. “That's true, I don't like tea. But Nellie kept calling me today, reminding me to think of a way to buy your first cup of tea to officially welcome autumn.“

His voice was as low and beautiful as always, carrying with him an irresistible magnetism.

Hearing him talking to her like this for the first time, Luna could not help but grin. She put away the glass of water. "I'll change and head downstairs."

"Don't." The man made a 'hush' gesture at her. " Don't let them know that we are leaving." He shook the rope in his hand.

Only then did Luna discover that, somehow, a very thick and sturdy piece of rope was tied to her balcony.

He looked at her from the ground and smiled. " Should I go up and carry you down, or you'll come down by yourself?"

Luna blushed. " I...I'll climb down by myself. “ She took a deep breath, went back to her room, grabbed a coat, turned around, and climbed down the rope.

Her room was only on the second floor, not very high up, about the same height as the tree she used to climb when she wanted to sketch. Luna climbed down the rope effortlessly.

The moment she landed, Joshua's arms caught her tightly. Same as when they first met many years ago, gentle yet powerful.

Luna felt even hotter now. She immediately wrestled herself out of his arms, turned, and headed toward the exit. “Where are we going for tea?“

“The car.“ He walked forward, held her hand, and strode toward his Masevati that was parked in the near distance. His large hand was strong and powerful, with a steady, calming warmth.

With her hand in his, she could almost feel his thundering pulse. Her heartbeat grew frantic too.

After the two of them climbed into the car, there was a power outage in the villa behind them. The entire villa was plunged into darkness.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1248

At that moment, both Aura and Michael started to feel the effects of the drug. Sitting in the living room, both of them exchanged glances in the dark.

Michael frowned. “Why did the power go out suddenly?“

Aura sneered, “You can't find her because the power is out?“ She rolled her eyes at him. “The drug should have taken effect by now. I'll go look for Joshua, you go to Luna.“

Michael shrugged and stood up, stumbling in the dark as he headed upstairs.

After he left, Aura sucked in a deep breath and took a bottle of perfume out of her bag that smelled exactly like Luna. Even though the drug was strong enough to make him lose his mind, she was still afraid that Joshua would recognize her. It was best if he thought she was Luna.

Upstairs

Michael too, changed into clothes and looked like and even smelled exactly the same as Joshua. He knew too, even under the influence of the drug, she would definitely be thinking of Joshua. As long as he dressed and smelled like him, and kept quiet throughout, Luna would not know it was him.

He remembered how she looked in the evening, her long legs and slim waist... He could not help himself and swallowed dryly, then started searching for her room in the dark.

At the same time In the Masevati outside the villa, Luna sat in the backseat, quietly finishing her cup of iced tea. The ice-cold liquid instantly dispersed the heat in her body.

She leaned back on the seat and thanked Joshua who was seated in the driver's seat. “Thank you. Now that you mention it, this is my first cup of tea this autumn.

Sitting in the driver's seat, Joshua said breathily, “ Don't thank me, if you want to, thank Nellie instead. If it wasn't for her, I wou1dn't have thought of this excuse to spend some alone time with you.“

Hearing his words, she could not help but blush. Even the air in the car turned hot and humid. She sniffed and was about to change the conversation when she realized the villa had been plunged into darkness.

She paused. “There was a blackout?“

“Yeah.“ He nodded. “I ordered someone to do it.“

Luna was confused. “So they wouldn't realize we're gone?“

“No.“ He looked at the pitch —dark villa coldly. “To make them think that their plans will succeed.“

Luna paused. “What do you mean?“

“I mean...“ He closed his eyes, forcefully suppressing the broiling hormones in his body. “At dinner, all our food was drugged. Don't you feel hot and uncomfortable?“

Luna's mind remained blank for a moment, then she suddenly realized the truth. ”This was done by Aura and Michael?”

"Yes.»

Luna bit her lip tightly. ”They're disgusting.” ”But Luna.” Joshua closed his eyes and remained silent for a moment, then finally opened his mouth and said, ”The drug is starting to take effect on us.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1249

Luna paused, then realized the reason she kept feeling hot although she turned on the air- conditioning and drank cold water was because of the drug.

At that thought, she felt even hotter, the blush on her cheeks deepening. She reached out a hand and patted her flaming cheeks. From the dim lighting in the car, she saw a similar sheen of sweat on his forehead.

He seemed to be in more pain than her. At least she had a cup of iced tea, while he drank nothing.

She bit her lip. “What should we do?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes, forcefully controlling the broiling hormones in his body. “I'll give you two choices. Either we go to the hospital, or a hotel.“

He turned around, her blushing face reflecting in his deep, bottomless eyes. “Which one do you choose?“

Luna stiffened. Hospital, or hotel. She was an adult, she knew what he meant by giving her those two choices. Somehow, she frowned and said, “Isn't the hospital quite far away?“

There was a hint of a laugh in his low voice. “It is far. Then, a hotel it is.“ With that, he started the engine and headed for the nearest hotel.

On the journey, Luna's entire face was flushed red. She wondered whether it was the effect of the drug, or because...she felt shy.

After the car slid to a stop in front of the hotel, he did not even let her feet touch the ground. He heaved her up into his hands and strode into the hotel. They did not register themselves at the reception and no one interrupted them. He held her in his arms and strode into the elevators.

The moment the elevator doors slid shut, Luna frowned in surprise. “You...booked a room in advance?“

He smiled slightly. “I was asking for your choice when I asked whether you wanted to go to the hospital or a hotel. I chose a hotel, so I asked Lucas to book a room in advance.“

At that moment, the elevator arrived on the floor their room was on. Joshua opened the door smoothly with the keycard.

The moment she walked into the room, she was pushed into the door. Joshua smothered her under his body, kissing her like a crazed man.

Maybe it was the effects of the drug, or maybe it had nothing to do with the drug at all.

She felt crazed. Too crazed.

Before tonight, even in her wildest dreams, she never thought that she would be backed into the door with her hands wrapped around his head as he sucked on her collarbone.

And now, not only was she doing it, she...she did not even feel shy, nor did she regret it.

Maybe it was because it had been a long time since she last saw him...least getting close to him. Instinct

coupled with the effect of the drug, added with longing, drove them so wild that they did not even have time to talk to each other.

The atmosphere in the room turned hot and heady. The moon hid behind the clouds.

Luna felt like a lonely boat lost at sea, and Joshua was her land.

She had loved him for countless years. However, she also hated him for six years. Became pregnant with his children twice and even gave him three beautiful children.

In their countless encounters, this was the first and only time she felt as if her endless wandering had reached an end. Finally, she managed to catch hold of him, of her own piece of land.

“Joshua.“ When they were at the peak of passion, her eyes were filled with a myriad of emotions as she asked him, “I want to know, how did you buy the first piece of jewelry I designed personally?“

This question had been bothering her for some time. Back then, even when she personally went to meet the collector, offering her a high price or even to compensate her, the collector refused to give up the piece of jewelry.

How did Joshua do it?

He chuckled and grabbed her chin, “Are you sure you want to ask me this question at a time like this?“

Luna was quiet for a moment, then she nodded. “Alright, I'll tell you.“ He kissed her lips, her cheeks, her earlobes. His deep voice breathed hot air on her ears and the hollow of her neck.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1250

"I told that lady that you're my love of life. The things that are important to you are as important as my life. If she refuses to give me that piece of jewelry...I will do all I could to get it."

"Do all you could?"

"We have business dealings, we could cooperate or become enemies. I told her I would do all I could to get it, guess what she would choose?"

Luna finally realized the truth. "It's that simple?"

"Of course it's not that simple." Joshua snorted and continued to kiss her lips. "Do you think it's easy for me to say that you are the love of my life?"

Luna was stunned. Suddenly she realized that he seemed to be...

Was he confessing?

She pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by him.

She could not say anything. Her mind was filled with nothing but chaos and confusion. All she could see was his handsome and charming face in front of her. The heady atmosphere filled the entire room.

It was a crazy night.

Early the next morning, when the first rays of sunlight shone through the windows of the Blue Bay Villa, the content-looking Aura yawned and slowly opened her eyes.

Last night...everything went smoothly. She did not even make a single sound. Joshua found her just based on the smell of her body. The foreign drugs were indeed very powerful. Last night, Joshua did not say a single word, merely lowered his head and focused on the task at hand, she almost lost herself.

Maybe it was just an illusion, but somehow, she felt that last night, Joshua's body did not feel as good as she imagined based on the parts of him she saw in broad daylight. Perhaps all men's bodies were like this, pleasing to the eyes but failed upon touch.

She closed her eyes, lazily basking in the sun, and her entire chest filled with satisfaction.

After getting up this morning, everything had changed. She and Joshua had now engaged in the most intimate act, and Luna also became Michael's lover.

She did not believe that Joshua would still remain loyal to Luna after he found out that Luna slept with the man he hated the most!

At this thought, she rolled over proudly, trying to reach for her phone. But instead, she came into contact with a man's body.

Aura frowned, did Joshua stay in her bed without leaving?

She quickly opened her eyes in surprise. "Joshua..."

However, the scene in front of her made Aura stiff, unable to move as if she had been struck by lightning.

Because...

The one who fell asleep in her bed was not Joshua, the man of her dreams, but Michael, Joshua's scumbag brother!

At that moment, Michael was lying naked on her bed, sleeping like a log. The hickeys and scratches left by Aura last night were displayed on his neck and plump body!

She actually slept with scum like Michael!

Aura felt as if she had been struck by thunder. She even remembered how she kept coaxing him on, yelling for it again and again last night...

"Blaargh! " Aura could not help but retch.

The sounds that she made gradually woke Michael. He looked at the woman's thin back, smiled, and hugged her from behind. "Why are you retching so early in the morning? The seeds I gave you only last night had already sprouted this morning?"

His words drove a chill down her spine. Last night, she did not ask him to use protection to make herself pregnant with Joshua's child.

But now...the more she thought about it, the angrier she got, and she looked back at him furiously.

When he saw that the woman in his arms was Aura, Michael was so scared that he screamed. "Why is it you?!"
