Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1361

'They' wanted to bring her back?

Luna frowned as she gripped her phone tightly. “ Malcolm, please be clear. Who's going to bring me back? And bring me where?“

Just as Luna finished her sentence—

Thunk! A loud noise came from the back of the car.

The huge impact pushed Luna forward, and she hit her head against the front seat.

Luna's vision went blank, and she passed out immediately.

By the time she finally came to, she discovered she was already on a plane. The turbulence made the plane shake and wobble as it soared through the air.

Luna opened her eyes. A man in a black suit was sitting across from her. The man had beautiful eyes, and at this moment, he was laying against the sofa, swiveling a glass of red wine gracefully.

Luna frowned and sat up in her seat. “Hunter?“

The man enjoying his glass of red wine was none other than the second heir of the Quinn family, Malcolm's cousin, Hunter.

Seeing that Luna had awoken, Hunter chuckled and put down the wine glass. He swept his impassive gaze over Luna's face and said, with a small smile playing on his lips, “What a rare occasion this is.

Ever since you went back to Banyan City, Ms. Luna Gibson, you've been enjoying your time together with Mr. Joshua. I thought you had forgotten about us, the family that once saved you. I 'm glad you still remember me.“

He purposely used the name Luna Gibson and mentioned she was saved by the Quinn family.

Luna frowned and furrowed her brow. “Why did you bring me here? What do you want?“

“What do I want?“

Hunter curled his lips into a smirk and said impassively, “Well, of course it's because I just wanted to remind you of what happened in the past. For example, why did you give up on your last name and change yourself from Luna Gibson to just Luna? Also, the promise that you made to the Quinn family, well, it's about time you pay up, don't you think? “

Luna's hands curled into fists at her sides.

Back then, she changed her name from Luna Gibson to Luna because of the hatred she harbored toward Joshua and the Gibson family. That was why she

gave up on her last name and started a new life. As for her promise to the Quinn family...

Once she had gotten everything sorted, she had promised she would return to the Quinn family and marry Malcolm.

First of all, after what she had gone through with Joshua, all the near-death experiences, she no longer hated him. In fact...she even fell in love with him again after she learned about all the things he had done for her.

Secondly, her promise to marry Malcolm...

At that time, she had lost all hope of finding love and felt that it did not matter with whom she ended up spending the rest of her life. On top of that, Malcolm had saved her life, which unfortunately led to Malcolm losing the opportunity to marry the person that had been planned. Therefore, to appease the Quinn  family,  she promised  to marry him instead.

However, her time in Banyan City pulled her back toward the man she loved... Luna was unwilling to fulfill that promise and marry Malcolm anymore because, after all that, her heart belonged to Joshua.

It was not fair for her, nor to Malcolm.

Nevertheless, she had yet to figure out a plan that would both make things up to Malcolm and, at the same time, appease the Quinn family.

Seeing that Luna was silent, Hunter curled his lips into a smile and said, “It looks like Ms. Luna isn't willing to take up her part of the promise anymore.“

He took a sip out of his wine glass and continued, “ Well, you are right. Malcolm is a cripple now, so it won't be easy to want to marry him.“

Luna felt as though something had crashed into the back of her head. “What did you say? What happened to Malcolm?“

Hunter sneered, then tossed a tablet to Luna.

The tablet landed on Luna's body, and it hurt so badly that she frowned.

However, she was not bothered by this and instead picked up the tablet. The color drained from her face as soon as she saw what was on the screen.

Three days ago...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1362

There had been a serious accident that occurred on the Ring Road of Merchant City.

A van had crashed into a sports car, and the van driver had suffered an instantaneous death. The driver of the sports car managed to survive, but his spinal cord had been compressed during the accident, which left him paralyzed from the waist down, and there were varying degrees of injuries all over his body as well.

The driver of the sports car...was none other than Malcolm.

Luna gripped the tablet tightly. She felt a twinge of pain shoot through her heart as she looked at the photo of Malcolm carried out of the remnants, covered in blood.

Hunter glanced at Luna and said, a cold smile playing on his lips. “I was right, wasn't I? Malcolm is now a cripple.“

He sneered as he continued, “Granny said that even though Malcolm is now disabled, you still have to hold up to your end of the promise with the Quinn family, so she sent me here to capture you and bring you home to marry him.

“Malcolm tried to stop me from coming to find you, but he's already a cripple now, so could he have stopped me?“

Luna bit down on her lip when she heard this. She recalled the phone call she had received before she got into her accident.

Malcolm had screamed with all his might on the phone, telling her to run and that someone was going to capture her...

It turned out that Malcolm was talking about Hunter.

He still protected and took care of her as he did in the past. Even though he was paralyzed, he did not even dare to tell her that and instead gave her a call to warn her that Hunter was about to kidnap her, but she...

Luna closed her eyes and tried to suppress the strong emotions she felt in her heart.

“I won't marry Malcolm, but he's suffered such a serious injury... I think I should follow you back home to visit and take care of him.“

After all, Malcolm had taken such meticulous care of her after her accident six years ago, and even after that, he continued to treat her and the children like his own family.

Therefore, she had no reason to abandon and ignore Malcolm in a time like this.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and picked up her phone, intending to call Joshua.

However, there was no signal.

She lifted her head to stare at Hunter.

Hunter shot her an impassive glance and snickered. “ Are you an idiot? How can there be a signal on a plane?“

Luna put down her phone in silence.

Actually...she had once been on this same plane with Malcolm before, so she knew that she could still contact the outside world from within this place.

However, it was clear that Hunter had blocked the signal, so she could not contact Joshua.

Therefore, Luna had no choice but to wait until the plane landed in Merchant City to contact Joshua.

On the road outside Banyan City Airport.

When Joshua and his men arrived at the scene, all that was left was a destroyed car.

Lucas furrowed his brows. “Sir, whoever was behind this had kidnapped Ma'am right into the airport as soon as they stopped the car. The entire process of transporting Ma'am from the car into the plane lasted only five minutes. This means everything had been planned beforehand.“

Joshua stared at the surveillance tape that Lucas proffered him and narrowed his eyes. “Are there any other clues?“

“The driver of the car has awoken, and he said that the leader of the group of people who kidnapped Ma'am is called Master Landry.

“On top of that, the car that stopped them was rented under the name of someone called Jim Landry. Also...“

Lucas handed a badge to Joshua and added, “This badge was probably left in the car by accident. I looked into it and discovered that this badge belongs to the bodyguards of the Landry family in Merchant City.

”The people who were behind Ma'am's kidnapping... are probably from the Landry family.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1363

Joshua's expression darkened as he gripped the badge tightly in his hand.

The Landry family.

If he remembered correctly, the boy who had spoken up at Adrian's share-reallocation ceremony was none other than Jim Landry's son!

Jim Landry had already been in Banyan City for a while, but during this time, he did not contact Aura at all, nor did he do anything bad to the Lynch family.

Because of this, Joshua had thought that Jim was simply here to find the woman he wanted, as he claimed.

However...

Not only did the Landry family kill Granny Lynch, but they were taking it a step further and kidnapped Luna!

Joshua gazed at the distance with a cold expression. “ Lucas, prep the private plane. We're going to Merchant City in Y Country! “

Lucas paused for a moment, then approached Joshua and said in a low voice, “Sir, are you...sure you want to go to Merchant City by yourself?

“Merchant City is the Landry family and the Quinn family's territory. Because of your Granny's instructions, Lynch Group has never extended their business into Merchant City. I'm afraid that if you go there without warning...“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. ”Just because Merchant City is their territory doesn't mean everything belongs to them, does it?”

Joshua continued coldly as he turned to get into the car, ” Since the Landrys were so bold as to lay their hands on Luna, then I'll go to Merchant City to take her back, no matter whose territory it belongs to.”

The aura that Joshua gave off was so powerful and domineering that Lucas felt a little suffocated. He quickly nodded and said, ”Yes, Sir.”

Joshua regained his composure and turned to get into the car. However, instead of going home, he headed to Granny Lynch's graveyard.

”Granny, ” Joshua said in a low, cold voice as he stared at the black-and-white picture of Granny Lynch on her tombstone. ”You told me that after the Landrys killed your daughter, you, too , took their son's life in revenge. After that, they poisoned you, and you chased them out of Banyan City...

”The vengeance between you and the Landry family shou1d've ended a long time ago, and you told me not to seek revenge nor cause trouble for them in the future.

”I've always stuck to my promise and avoided getting into any conflict with the Landry family, but now, not only did they help Aura kill you...they even kidnapped Luna.

”I refuse to sit by and tolerate this any longer.”

Joshua lifted his head to stare at Granny's face. ”I 'm heading to Merchant City tomorrow. No matter what happens, I'll avenge Luna and you! “

As soon as he finished swearing, Joshua let out an exhale and turned to leave.

Before he could go far, however, he suddenly noticed a bouquet of white flowers placed in front of Granny's tombstone. The petals were still dripping with water.

This meant that whoever put this here had not been gone for very long.

Joshua furrowed his brows and glanced all around him, then finally placed the flowers closer to Granny's tombstone and left.

After Joshua's car left, Harvey, who had been hiding in a corner, let out a sigh of relief and came out from his hiding spot.

That man was terrifying!

The look in his eyes while he was glancing around was so frightening that Harvey almost accidentally revealed himself.

“That man was too scary.“ He patted his chest in relief and glanced at his father, who was sitting in a corner, scrolling on his phone. “Daddy, why are you so calm? Aren't you afraid of being discovered?“

Jim put down his phone and lifted his head to glance impassively at Harvey. “I'm just here to pay respects to his grandmother, not raid her tomb, so why would I be scared of being discovered?“

Harvey rolled his eyes in exasperation and questioned while walking out of the graveyard, “But Daddy, I heard Granny say that this Granny Lynch is a cruel, deceitful woman. Why are you risking your life to pay her respects after she died?”

Jim strode in front of his son and replied,  ”No matter how cruel or deceitful she was, do you think she'll crawl out of her grave to strangle you?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1364

“Besides...“ Jim gazed in the direction in front of him. “What your Granny told you may not have been true. Just like what Joshua Lynch's Granny told him may not have been true either.“

With that, he stopped in his tracks and turned to glance at Harvey. “I 've booked tonight's flight back home to Merchant City. We've been out here for long enough, and I've spent enough time helping you find clues, but since we can't find anything, I suggest you stop whining and asking for your mother in the future.“

Harvey pouted and lowered his head in disappointment but did not say anything.

His Mommy...

When was she going to appear?

The Quinn family's private plane landed at the airport in the evening.

Luna got down from the plane and took out her phone. Before she could call Joshua, however, Hunter snatched her phone away.

He crossed his legs as he sat in the car's backseat and smiled, gripping Luna's phone. “Why did you take out your phone so soon? Are you trying to contact Joshua and ask him to save you?“

The smile on Hunter's face was so eerie that Luna felt a chill go down her spine.

“Don't you know Merchant City is the Quinn and Landry families' territory? If your precious Joshua comes here, there's no other way out.“

With that, he hurled Luna's phone out of the window.

The roads were bustling, so after being run over by several vehicles, Luna's phone was so shattered that it was barely recognizable.

“I'm doing this for your own good.“ Hunter chuckled and shook his hands gracefully. “If you really contacted Joshua, and he came here to save you but died in Merchant City, your three children will become orphans without their Daddy or Mommy. Do you want that?“

Luna bit down on her lip when she heard this. “Well, I still have to let him know I'm safe.“

Otherwise, Joshua would think she was in danger. If that happened and he came all the way to save her, this would intensify the business conflict between the Lynch family and the Quinn family, and the consequences would be dire.

“I think it's better if you let Malcolm know you're safe instead.“ Hunter let out a snicker. “I bet that if he sees you returning to his side safe and sound, Malcolm would be so happy that he'd cry! “

Luna frowned and shot Hunter a cold glare but did not say a word.

Hunter was just as obnoxious as always. The car soon arrived at Quinn Mansion.

Luna got out of the car, circled past the main

building, and headed toward the villa on the left of the mansion under the protection of Hunter's men.

This was where Malcolm lived.

Luna had been here many times during the past six years, so she knew her way around the place.

She soon arrived at Malcolm's doorstep.

Hunter's men knew their place, so they did not enter the villa with Luna.

Luna let out an exhale, regained her composure, and strode into the house.

The entire villa was covered with the smell of medicine.

A paralyzed Malcolm was sitting in his wheelchair with his back against the door, staring at the cages of parrots next to the glass windows.

Luna had not seen him in a long time, and she noticed that he looked much thinner than before.

She pursed her lips and approached him carefully.

Malcolm overheard her footsteps and said calmly, “ Hey, Lorraine, didn't I send you to find out any news from Hunter? Why did you come back so soon?“

As he said this, Malcolm let out a sigh. “I hope they don't find Luna so soon...“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1365

As soon as she heard Malcolm's voice, a twinge of guilt seeped through Luna's heart.

She could not believe that Malcolm still thought of her, even in a time like this, while she...did not even know about his accident.

Malcolm furrowed his brows and turned around somewhat frustratedly, puzzled as to why 'Lorraine' was not answering him. “Why aren't you saying anything?“

As soon as his gaze landed on the woman standing behind him, Malcolm's pupils dilated.

Seeing how astounded Malcolm looked, Luna approached him and smiled. “I 'm back, Malcolm. “

Malcolm remained silent for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, “I called to warn you so you could escape, but you—“

Finally, he let out a sigh and said, a hint of pity and reproach in his tone, “Why didn't you escape? You should've known that if they managed to capture you, they'd force you to marry me.

“I'm now a cripple. Now that you've returned, I 'm not even capable of sending you back home anymore

As soon as she heard this, Luna felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart. She bit down on her lip and said in a low voice, “I came back voluntarily.“

She let out a sigh and lowered her head to glance at Malcolm's legs. “I can't possibly not visit or take care of you, now that you've ended up like this.“

A gentle expression crept across Malcolm's face as he said, “Then what about Joshua?“

Luna turned to pour Malcolm a glass of water and smiled. “He'll understand.“

Joshua was different, after all that they had been through.

In the past, he would get angry and jealous every time Theo so much as took a step near her, but just this morning, he even willingly let her send Theo off by herself so that Theo could have one last moment alone with her.

Luna knew that Joshua was clear about his place in her heart. She belonged only to him, and no one would be able to take her away from him. This was why he no longer got jealous as easily as before.

Since he had done so with Theo, Luna knew that he would do the same with Malcolm. After all, this was the man who had saved her life and helped her take care of her three babies in the past.

Despite this, however, she still had to find a way to contact Joshua as soon as possible.

Luna handed the glass to Malcolm, let out an exhale, and asked in a low voice, “Malcolm, can I borrow your phone for a moment? Hunter threw mine away.“

A glimmer of fury flashed through Malcolm's face as he took the glass from her. “That Hunter! How dare he break your phone like that? You're the Quinn family's guest, not a prisoner! “

With that, he took out his phone and handed it to Luna. “Do you remember Joshua's number?“

Luna nodded, turned around, and dialed Joshua's number with Malcolm's phone.

To her surprise—

The voice she heard when the call got connected was Hunter's, cackling, “Luna, are you still trying to reach your Mr. Lynch? I knew that that useless Malcolm would lend you his phone like an idiot, so I rigged his cellphone!

“All of the calls with a signal related to Banyan City will automatically be rerouted to my phone, so you should just give up! “

Luna could not help snapping as she gripped the phone tightly, “Hunter Quinn, I'm just trying to contact him so he wouldn't worry about me! Do you think he won't be able to find out what you did? If by the time he comes to Merchant City to look for me and gets into conflict with the Quinn family, are you able to bear its consequences?“

Hunter guffawed when he heard this. “Luna, you overestimate yourself. Do you think Joshua will get into conflict with the Quinn family because of you? In your dreams! “

He continued in a jeering tone, “You're just a woman. A woman is always replaceable to a successful man! “

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1366

“Do you think your precious Joshua Lynch will be any different?“

With that, he hung up the phone.

Luna bit her lower lip as she gripped the phone tightly in her hand.

Malcolm noticed that she had finished calling and wheeled himself over with a frown. “How was it?“ he asked in a low voice. “Did you manage to reach him?“

Luna shook her head.

Quinn Mansion was a well-guarded place, and she knew she could not possibly escape.

At the same time, she could not get in touch with Joshua in Banyan City either.

All of a sudden, she recalled Gwen and Luke. They were in Sea City, so she could definitely reach them there, but...

Her phone had been disposed of, and she could not remember their numbers.

“Don't worry.“ Malcolm reached out to grab hold of Luna's hand gently, seeing how upset she was. “We can find the contact number of Luke's company in Sea City and call that instead.“

Luna thought this was a good idea, so she quickly found the number of Luke's hotel in Sea City.

However, the receptionist could not get ahold of Luke at all.

Luna had no choice but to ask the receptionist to take down her message to Luke. “Ask Luke to tell Joshua that Malcolm is severely injured, and I've

been brought back to Merchant City by the Quinns to take care of him. My phone is broken, and the signal here isn't good either, so please ask him not to contact me.

“Also, tell him not to ask impulsively or try to save me. I'll find a way to get back home as soon as Malcolm's condition has stabilized.“

The receptionist took down every word of Luna's message and promised to pass it on to Luke.

However, as soon as the call was disconnected, the receptionist tucked the memo with Luna's message in a corner. “Mr. Jones is going through a breakup

and drowning his sorrows in alcohol, so how can he have the time to pass on a message like this?“

The memo slid off the edge and slipped underneath the receptionist's desk.

As soon as she hung up, Luna felt as though a weight had been lifted off her shoulders.

Luke was a reliable friend, so she knew he would pass on the message to Joshua.

After settling this matter, the servant brought them dinner. Luna volunteered to feed Malcolm his dinner.

Malcolm, sitting in his wheelchair, did not know whether to laugh or cry at this. “I 'm just paralyzed from the waist down, but it doesn't make me incapable of moving.“

Luna shook her head. “When I got hurt, you took care of me the same way, so I want to repay your kindness to me.“

Malcolm's entire body stiffened when he heard this. After a split second, he let out a self-deprecating chuckle. “That's right. As soon as you repay your debt of gratitude to me, you can return to Joshua's side without guilt anymore.“

Luna fell into silence. She did not know what to reply to this.

“I'm sorry, Malcolm.“

Malcolm let out a bitter chuckle but did not say anything in response. He sat in silence and let Luna feed him.

Banyan City.

Joshua was about to board the plane to Merchant City when he received a call from Luke.

“Joshua.“ Luke's voice was a little slurry through the phone, the way he usually sounded while drunk. “ Just now, one of the receptionists at my hotel received a call from Merchant City. It's from Luna, and she asked me to pass on a message to you.“

Joshua frowned. “What did she say?“

Luke glanced at the memo on the table before him, which the receptionist had rewritten from memory after losing the original one. “She said she's hurt and her phone is broken, so you shouldn't try to contact her.

“She wants you to go to Merchant City to save her.

She wants to come home.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1367

Luna spent the entire night tossing and turning in her sleep.

She kept dreaming that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City and was holding the Quinns accountable for kidnapping her.

Therefore, as soon as she woke up the next day, she quickly found Malcolm to borrow his phone. She called Luke's hotel again to find out whether Luke had received her message.

After making sure that Luke had passed on her message to Joshua, she finally felt relieved.

“Actually, you shouldn't be too worried either.“ Malcolm curled his lips into a smile and glanced at her after putting his phone away. “Even if Joshua arrived in Merchant City and found us, it wouldn't be such a big deal at all.

“I 'm not capable of sending you home anymore, so if he came to rescue you, it'd be fulfilling my wish as well.“

Luna, however, shook her head. “The Quinn family saved me when I was at my rock bottom many years ago and helped me give birth and raise my three children. I owe everything I have now to the Quinn family, so no matter what happens, I can't let him do anything bad to you guys.“

Malcolm could not help letting out a sigh when he heard this.

All of a sudden, a servant knocked on their door. “ Sir, Ms. Luna, Granny Quinn has requested your presence in Quinn Mansion for breakfast.“

Luna fell into silence for a moment, then nodded and wheeled Malcolm to the dining room in Quinn Mansion.

“Look how sweet they are, Granny! “ Hunter could not help exclaiming with a smile when he saw Luna pushing Malcolm into the room.

Granny Quinn gave them an approving smile and said, “This is great! Hunter, find a wedding planner and set a date for the wedding immediately. The earlier, the better! “

Luna pursed her lips, but before she could say anything, Malcolm piped up, “Granny, I won't marry Luna, so you shouldn't waste your effort.“

Granny Quinn frowned when she heard this. “Why? Luna promised me herself that she'd return to marry you as soon as she settled everything with the children!

“Now that she's taken care of everything, she wants to go back on her word?“

With that, Granny Quinn glanced at Luna coldly. “ Are you unwilling to marry our Malcolm because he's paralyzed now, and you think he's a cripple? Luna, don't be ungrateful—karma will get you for this!

“You can't abandon him now that he's become disabled! “

Luna bit down on her lip and was about to say something, but suddenly realized that no matter what she said would be wrong.

She had indeed wanted to go back on her promise to marry Malcolm, but...

If she brought this up, no matter what her true intentions were, other people would always think that it was because she did not want to marry a cripple and was ungrateful.

At the same time, if she did not cancel the wedding...

“Granny. “ Before she could say anything, Malcolm smiled. “Let's forget about the wedding.

“Luna isn't ungrateful, and I don't want to use my accident and disability as leverage to force her into marrying me.“

Granny Quinn let out a scoff and rolled her eyes but did not say anything in reply.

The meal commenced in suffocating silence.

Granny Quinn snorted in indignation and glanced at Luna as soon as she put down her cutlery. “Don't forget what you promised me in the past.

“I'll give you a week. If you still refuse to marry Malcolm after one week, we'll declare to the public that you're an ungrateful, unappreciative twat! “

With that, Granny Quinn slammed her cutlery down on the table and stormed out.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1368

As soon as Granny Quinn left, Hunter, too, started jeering and taunting Malcolm. “See? I already told you that Luna, who you constantly put on a pedestal, is just as shallow as the rest of the women from the outside world!

“You insist that she's different, but you've been proven wrong. She doesn't want to hold up to her end of the promise after your accident. I pity you, Malcolm! “

Malcolm gripped the armrests of his wheelchair so tightly that his knuckles turned white.

After Hunter left, Malcolm released his grip on the armrests, closed his eyes, and said in a voice as gentle as always, “Take me back to my room, Luna. “

Luna wheeled Malcolm away with a complicated feeling in her heart.

God had posed a challenging question for her...

If Malcolm had not gotten into his accident, then maybe she would have had other ways of repaying her debt to him and the Quinn family, but since he was disabled, everyone would think that her refusal to marry him was due to her disgust and contempt toward him, no matter what she said.

If she and Joshua had not gotten past their differences and made up, then even if Malcolm were disabled, she would still marry him without a second thought.

After all, it did not matter whom she spent the rest of her life with since she did not believe in love anymore.

However, her heart belonged to someone else... Luna wheeled Malcolm back to his villa, feeling conflicted.

Malcolm was probably still upset about what Granny Quinn and Hunter had said during breakfast, so as soon as they arrived back home, he disappeared into his room to rest.

Luna sat on the sofa in the living room and spent her time either flipping through Malcolm's medical report or sighing as she stared off into the distance.

The servants noticed how agitated she was and volunteered to turn on the television for her. “Here, Ms. Luna. Maybe watching some TV will help.“

Luna nodded and absent-mindedly watched the TV screen.

To her surprise—

When the servants turned on the TV, the first thing she saw was Joshua's face on the day's news.

He was wearing a black trench coat and black sunglasses, looking cold, arrogant, and domineering.

The reporters approached him and asked numerous questions.

“Mr. Lynch, we heard that you bought out some of the mid-sized businesses in Merchant City and cut off the Landry family's supply chain in pharmaceutical and fragrance production! “

“Are you here in Merchant City to fight for resources with your nemesis, the Landry and Quinn families, or are you here for another purpose?“

Joshua took off his sunglasses coldly and stared at the camera with an impassive look. “The reason I came to Merchant City is because of a woman. As for anything else, I'm sorry, but I can't say."

With that, he strode away, followed by a frantic- looking Lucas, who was lugging his suitcase along.

“According to insider reports, the wealthiest man in Banyan City, Joshua Lynch, left Banyan City and arrived in Merchant City this morning. His sudden arrival has stirred up chaos and led to more than half of the mid -sized businesses in Merchant City being bought out...“

“Apparently, Joshua Lynch's purpose for visiting Merchant City is a woman. What kind of woman would make a man as powerful as Joshua Lynch willing to come all the way here?

“Our reporters will continue to follow up on this breaking news...“

Sitting on the sofa, Luna clutched the remote control tightly as she stared intently at the TV screen.

A surge of warmth spread through her heart.

She could not believe that Joshua had come all the way to Merchant City for her.

Even though she had already told him not to worry about her, he still came.

Tears slid soundlessly down her face as warmth continued to spread through her heart.

Luna grabbed a notepad and pencil and recorded the phone numbers of the companies that Joshua had bought out.

She wanted to see him—immediately!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 1369

Joshua had bought out more than ten small companies in Merchant City. Every one of these companies played a part in the Landry family's pharmaceutical and fragrance businesses.

Luna wondered about this as she recorded the names of these companies and their contact numbers from the news on the TV.

Was Joshua not there to find her? Why did he buy out so many companies related to the Landry family overnight?

It seemed as though...he was doing this to get revenge on the Landry family.

However, Luna tried to reassure herself that maybe Joshua just wanted to give the Landry family a taste of their own medicine while coming to Merchant City to find her at the same time.

After all, the Lynch and the Landry families were mortal enemies. If they found out that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City, they would stir up trouble for him.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt an even more compelling desire to see Joshua.

After writing down the numbers of the companies Joshua had bought out, Luna borrowed Malcolm's phone and called them.

Some of the companies ignored her entirely, and some of them even thought she was a scammer.

Luna spent an entire morning calling the companies one by one, but none of them wanted to pass on her message to their senior management.

Luna felt a little distraught by this, but she did not give up just yet.

After lunch, she continued calling them one by one.

Malcolm's expression dimmed when he saw how anxious Luna became. After a moment, he chuckled as he gazed at Luna's side profile. “Why don't I invite Joshua here as a guest?“

Luna shook her head. “I don't want that.“

Even though Malcolm used to be the man of the household, Luna could tell that the Quinn family was becoming more and more hostile toward him ever since his accident.

He had simply stood up for her this morning, but Granny Quinn and Hunter had both looked down on him for this.

If he invited Joshua to Quinn Mansion because of her Luna did not dare imagine the consequences that would ensue from this.

However, after cold-calling multiple times, she still could not get in touch with Joshua at all.

At this moment, a piece of news flashed through the TV screen.

According to the news, Joshua was supposed to be meeting the Landry family's biggest supplier at the Cold Jazz Restaurant in the city center for a business meeting.

Malcolm caught sight of Luna watching this news and curled his lips into a small smile. “Shall we go to the Cold Jazz Restaurant tonight?“

Luna nodded. After a moment, she turned to stare at Malcolm. “Can I... Can I go out?“

“You can't on your own, but if I go with you, that'll be fine. “ Malcolm chuckled and stared at Luna with a kind, gentle expression. “Don't worry. I'm here with you.“

Luna nodded and got up to pour Malcolm a cup of

coffee.

Luna watched with a complicated expression as Malcolm lowered his head to drink his coffee.

Malcolm had done so much for her, but...

She could not even keep her initial promise to him to marry him.

She would never be able to repay his kindness.

Luna decided that if there were a chance, she would try her best to help Malcolm's legs recover. Even if she could not do so, she would bring Joshua and the three children along to thank the Quinn family in person.

A tormenting afternoon passed.

At 5 p.m., Malcolm asked the servants to pack some clothes for him and let Luna wheel him out the door.

As soon as they left the yard, they ran into Granny Quinn and Hunter, who were admiring the flowers at the front gate of Quinn Mansion.

Hunter caught sight of them immediately and snickered, “Hey, Malcolm, where are you bringing your little fiancée?"

Luna furrowed her brows, feeling a little uneasy at the mention of 'fiancée'.

However, before she could say anything, Malcolm let out a sigh and replied, “Don't say nonsense like that, Hunter. Luna hasn't even agreed to marry me."

Hunter sneered. “Well, she has to, in the end. If she doesn't want  to marry you, then you'll have to blame yourself for becoming a cripple. Not even the woman you saved wants to be with you."

With that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Luna. “Isn't that true?"

Luna bit down on her lip but did not say a word.

Granny Quinn glanced at Luna and Malcolm. Then, she looked down at the pond and continued to feed the fishes in it. “It's getting late, and dinner is about to be ready. Where are you guys going?“

Malcolm smiled. “Luna just came back to Merchant City, so she hasn't gotten used to it yet. I 'm going to bring her out for a walk.“

“Out for a walk?“

Granny Quinn sneered, then turned around and stared at Malcolm sternly. “Are you afraid that the citizens of Merchant City don't know that the Young Master of Quinn family has become disabled? This woman just arrived, and you already want to bring her out and humiliate the family! Go back inside now! “

With that, Granny Quinn ordered the guards who were standing to one side, “Bring these two back inside the house. In the future, you are not allowed to leave Quinn Mansion without my permission! “

“Granny, “ Malcolm spoke up immediately, “if you want Luna to stay and marry me, you can't treat her like a prisoner and lock her in this yard. I'm not a prisoner, and she isn't one either. We just want to go out for a walk. Why are you stopping us?“

Granny Quinn scoffed, “I'll never allow her to leave this yard if she doesn't promise to marry you! “

Granny Quinn gave the guards a meaningful look, signaling them to seize Luna and Malcolm. As soon as they saw this, the guards stormed over and grabbed Luna so hard that they almost tore her clothes.

Luna struggled to release herself while holding onto her clothes and shouting at the same time, “Granny Quinn, all we wanted was just to go out for a walk! “

“Just to go out for a walk? Please don't think I'm stupid; I know that Joshua has arrived in Merchant City! Are you really going out for a walk, or are you planning to find him and leave Merchant City with him? Let me tell you this: Hunter had put in a lot of effort to get you here, so we'll never allow you to leave that easily! “

Luna bit down on her lip nervously. That was indeed the plan, but she never thought of leaving Merchant City!

Rip—!

At that moment, Luna's struggle had caused her clothes to rip, exposing her fair skin.

“Luna! “ Malcolm shouted from the wheelchair and lunged toward her like a madman.

A split second later, he landed on the ground with a loud thud.

Luna, who was still struggling to release herself from the guards' grip, widened her eyes in shock at this sight.

Even after landing on the ground, Malcolm still dragged his paralyzed legs and crawled toward Luna slowly. “Don't touch her! “

Luna felt both saddened and shocked by this sight.

She immediately pushed away both the guards and ran toward Malcolm.

As she helped him up, she could not help asking, ” Why did you jump down like that?”

”I'm sorry.” Malcolm let out an awkward laugh. ”I was too worked up...that I forgot I 'in crippled now. ”

Suddenly, he put his head closer to Luna's ear and whispered, ”Tell them you need to bring me to the hospital... The Cold Jazz Restaurant is just around the corner from the hospital.”

Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard this. She bit down on her lip and lifted her head to stare at Granny Quinn and Hunter. ”Get the car ! I need to send him to the hospital! "

Granny Quinn and Hunter exchanged glances, and as reluctant as they were, they still ordered a car to send Luna and Malcolm to the hospital.

At the hospital, Malcolm let out a bitter smile and glanced at Luna while he was being examined by the doctor. ”The Cold Jazz Restaurant is right next door. You should go. Just remember to come back for me. ”

Luna nodded, put on her coat to cover her ripped clothes, and sprinted out of the hospital.

The doctor stared at Luna's retreating figure, then let out a sigh as he continued examining Malcolm's legs. ”Mr. Quinn, this woman clearly doesn't care about you... Do you honestly think it's worth it to end up crippled because of her?”

Malcolm stared in the direction where Luna had left and smiled. ”Even though her heart belongs to someone else , she'll eventually return to my side. ”
