Ch. 1781..1790

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1781

The same time Luna noticed Joshua, John noticed him as well. He immediately greeted Joshua.

“Mr. Lynch!”

John quit his job after getting married to Anne, starting a small business in Banyan City.

John had no idea why Joshua treated him well, and he even thought it could have been because of Luna. Whatever it was, for the past half a year, John’s business ran smoothly. Although his business was not huge, his business had become one of Lynch Group’s designated partners, and it was a great honor.

Thus, when John saw Joshua, even if he knew Joshua and Luna were on bad terms, he still eagerly greeted Joshua.

Luna felt a vein involuntarily pop on her forehead. She initially wanted to pretend as if she did not see Joshua and leave with everyone.

At that moment, John had already greeted Joshua, so she could no longer pretend that she did not notice him.

“Mr. Young.”

Just when Luna was thinking to herself, torn, Joshua had already stridden over. He smiled and looked at John before looking at the pregnant Anne.

“Are you almost giving bịrth?”

Anne was initially secretly complaining about how John made things difficult for Luna, but when she heard Joshua mention her name, she immediately came to her senses and smiled.

“Yes, yes, indeed. Mr. Lynch, why are you back here in Banyan City?”

Joshua chuckled gently. “I have some matters to attend to here in the city.”

Then, Joshua calmly swept Luna a glance. He said rather mockingly, “Didn’t you say that you’ll never return to Banyan City anymore in the future?”

Luna pursed her lips and secretly rolled her eyes at him.

“I said I won’t return to Banyan City with you.”

Joshua could not help but laugh at Luna’s words. He looked at Luna deeply. “Doesn’t this count as coming back together right now?”

Luna was taken aback at this and rolled her eyes at him. How was this man so annoying?

Just because she returned to Banyan City, he returned with her at the same time, all so he could tease her, forcing her to admit that she had gone back against her promise?

How lame!

At that thought, Luna sneered. “Whether it counts or not, you know it better than me. Mr. Lynch. I’m busy, and I can’t stay here and talk.”

Then, Luna turned around and pulled Anne along.

“I’m sorry.” When they were out of Joshua’s sight, Anne grabbed Luna’s hand and said cautiously, “It’s not that John doesn’t know about your relationship with Joshua. It’s only that all this while, we’ve been taken care of by the Lynch family. I’m going to have a baby soon, and we’re tight on money. John is afraid that a small thing like not saying help would affect his company’s business…”

Hearing Anne frantically trying to explain, Luna sighed and gently grabbed her hand.

“Don’t apologize. Since when have we drifted so far apart that you have to apologize to me?”

By then, they had reached a pickup spot by the airport entrance.

Because Christopher could not drive, John had to be the driver. He placed Anne on a chair by the side and gently helped her.

“Wait for me here. I’ll go get the car,” said John before reluctantly leaving, heading to the underground parking lot.

Luna stood next to Anne, looking at John’s back. A mixture of complicated emotions rose in her. There was relief, happiness, sorrow, and, most of all, envy.

From the moment Anne got pregnant up to her delivery, John had been there every step of the way taking great care of her.

What did Luna experience? Her triplets grew up in her body after the accident. At that time, because she did not want to trouble her savior, Malcolm, she did everything related to the delivery on her own.

When she had her second delivery, her conditions were better. She had also become the heiress of the Landrys, and she did not need to rely on herself.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1782

Regardless, no matter how thoughtful and caring Luna’s servants were, they were not the child’s father.

It was even because the people around her were not meticulous enough that she did not know whether the child was dead or alive.

Right when Luna was lamenting to herself, John’s car arrived. Luna came to her senses and helped John help Anne to the car.

The car started moving. John was driving while Christopher was in the passenger seat next to him. Luna and Anne were in the backseat.

The traffic around the airport at noon was quite heavy. John’s car inched forward slowly.

After half an hour, they finally got out of the ring road around the airport. John let out a long breath and started picking up speed.

However, he did not expect that speeding the car up would bring more trouble.

It was all fine when the car in front of them suddenly broke down. John’s car could not brake i n time, and he crashed into the rear end of the car in front.

The car behind crashed into John’s car, creating a serial crash accident.

The car was stuck in the middle, unable to move.

Right when John was about to get out of the car, Anne clutched her tummy.

“It hurts!” Anne’s face was miserably pale. She sweated profusely and grabbed Luna’s hand tightly.

“It hurts!”

Luna looked at her and exclaimed in her heart. Anne was going into labor!

Christopher, who sat in front, turned around and looked. He instantly furrowed his brows.

“Shoot. The crash has triggered her going into labor.”

John instantly panicked and grabbed Christopher’s arm. “Will she be fine?”

“It’s not a big problem but not one to be simply brushed aside, either.” Christopher furrowed his brows while taking Anne’s pulse.

He comforted John, “If there is a bed for her to lie down and relax, it can relieve the symptoms, but right now…”

He looked at the tight space in the car.

**We might not be able to call an ambulance in time.”

Luna anxiously scanned her surroundings. They were right outside the ring road surrounding the airport. There was not even a single building around, let alone a bed!

Under desperation, Luna immediately opened the door and got out of the car. Their car could not move at that moment. The most important thing was to find a car to send Anne to the nearest hospital.

Right at that moment, a recreational vehicle was slowly coming toward her.

Luna was delighted.

She immediately rushed to the road and opened her arms wide to stop the car.

“My friend is about to deliver! Please help!”

The recreational vehicle stopped a few meters away from Luna.

The car door was opened in a hurry. Lucas and Courtney came out of the vehicle.

Perhaps they did not hear Luna’s voice in the vehicle. The moment Courtney came out of the car, she helplessly rolled her eyes at Luna.

“You were standoffish toward Mr. Lynch at the airport, yet you’re stopping his car in the middle of the road now?”

Everyone knew about the separation between Luna and Joshua. Courtney was Joshua’s secretary, and of course, she knew about it, too. She never liked Luna. At that moment, she did not show an ounce of respect to her either.

“Ma’am, is everything fine?” Lucas asked politely. He furrowed his brows and went around Courtney, striding toward Luna.

Luna could not be bothered with Courtney, so she could only cut to the chase.

“Our car is stuck in a car crash. My friend has gone into labor! Please, help send my friend to the hospital!”

Courtney sneered upon hearing Luna’s words.

“Why should I help just because you ask?” She pursed her lips calmly and said, “Let me go ask Mr. Lynch. Give me five minutes.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1783

Luna was infuriated by Courtney.

Joshua was right behind Courtney in the car. All she needed to do was to open the door, get in

the car, and explain it to him. How would that need five minutes?

It was clear Courtney was making a fuss. She wanted to make things difficult for her!

Had it been any other day, Luna might have given in to Courtney and Joshua, choosing to compromise, but Anne was waiting for her at that moment. It was a matter of life and death, and Luna did not have the time to waste!

Thus, Luna immediately went past Courtney and flung the car door open. “Ms. Johnson, five minutes is too long for you to ask Mr. Lynch on such a matter. I’ll do it myself!”

Then, Luna immediately opened the car door.

In the recreational vehicle, Joshua was crossing his legs elegantly, leaning lazily on his seat. His usual cold eyes were reading the documents in his hands.

When he heard someone getting in the car, he asked without looking up, flipping a page on his document, “What’s going on outside?”

Luna took a deep breath. “Mr. Lynch, our car has met with a serial accident. John’s car is stuck i n the middle.

“Anne was a little shocked because of the accident, and she has gone into labor. Christopher said that she needs a place to lie down and be sent to the hospital.

“It just so happened that I saw your vehicle. I think sending Anne to the hospital with your vehicle is the safest choice, so I came here to ask for your permission.” Luna anxiously finished the sentence in one breath.

Joshua furrowed his brows.

When he got in the car at the airport a moment ago, he was still lecturing Courtney on wasting resources. Although it was rare for him to return to Banyan City, there was no need to use the recreational vehicle to pick him up. He even said that Anne, who was pregnant, did not need a recreational vehicle.

He never expected that not long after he left the airport, the vehicle came in handy.

Joshua immediately closed his documents and stood up.

“It’s a matter of life and death, so how could I not help her?”

Joshua then got out of the vehicle. The moment he passed by Luna, he gently snickered and said in a suppressed tone, “You owe me three times.”

Then, before Luna could react, Joshua had gotten out of the vehicle.

Luna stood in the same spot, stunned. It took a while for her to understand what he meant. She helplessly rolled her eyes.

When she used to like Joshua in the past, how come she did not realize that he was so deplorable?

How could he take a sentence spoken out of desperation at Lincoln City back then to heart, holding a grudge until that moment, even multiplying it three times?

Did he really think that she was pimping her body out?

Soon after, with the help of John, Christopher, and Lucas, Anne was lifted into the vehicle.

Joshua’s recreational vehicle was huge. Even if he spread the bed out open to let Anne lie, the others still had enough space.

After settling Anne down, Lucas got out of the car, staying behind at the scene of the accident t o help John with the aftermath.

The vehicle started moving. Christopher was checking Anne’s stats while instructing Luna and John to prepare hot water and scissors.

Thankfully, the vehicle was equipped.

John and Luna were busy fulfilling Christopher’s instructions while asking about Anne’s condition in concern.

The vehicle instantly turned into a small delivery room.

Joshua returned to the sofa, flipping through his documents. However, he could not focus on his reading at all.

The entire vehicle was filled with Anne’s yells in pain when she had contractions.

He narrowed his eyes and inexplicably thought about Luna.

Anne had only one baby in her womb, yet she was already in so much pain.

What about Luna? Back then, when Luna gave birth to triplets, it must have been even more painful, was it not? As the father of her children, he was not there with Luna during her time at all.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1784

What was Luna thinking back when she was in labor with their triplets? Was she thinking about her children’s safety, or was she loathing her children’s father?

Joshua shut his eyes. The more he thought of this, the guiltier he felt. He truly missed out on too many important moments of Luna’s life when she needed him most, whether it was the triplets six years ago, or the daughter a month ago.

“It’s really noisy.”

Looking at Joshua shutting his eyes with the documents in his hands, Courtney thought that h e could not focus because of the noise. Thus, she immediately complained to him softly, “She knew she was going into labor soon, yet instead of waiting at the hospital, she tagged along to the airport. Look at what happens now. She’s going to give birth on the way!

“It’s one thing for her being a fool, but they stopped Mr. Lynch’s car in the middle of the road. I prepared this recreational vehicle so that you could rest, Mr. Lynch, not for them to deliver a child here.”

Courtney’s voice was not loud, but it was enough for the people in the vehicle to hear.

Anne’s face was already miserably pale and sweating profusely. Upon hearing Courtney’s words, her face turned even paler. She clutched the bed sheets tightly and gritted her teeth, not daring to make any sound.

This was indeed her fault. She overestimated the condition of her body.

Seeing how Anne had been dissed like that, Luna could not help but furrow her brows. She stood up for Anne.

“Courtney, watch your tongue. At this point, the person suffering the most is my friend, and she’s already in pain. What’s the point of you saying all this?”

Courtney rolled her eyes. “I don’t have a point, but the noise is affecting me and affecting Mr. Lynch working. Can’t I just complain?”

“Of course, you can,” Joshua interrupted Courtney. He opened his eyes and gracefully closed the folder in his hand.

Courtney was elated. It seemed like this time she had correctly guessed what Joshua was thinking. He was affected and annoyed by the noise of the pregnant lady after all!

At that thought, Courtney immediately pursed her lips. She wanted to say something else, but Joshua said, “Driver, stop the car by the side and get her out.”

Luna could not help but crease her brows at Joshua’s low voice.

She subconsciously lifted her head and swept Joshua a glance, her heart trembling a little.

Who did Joshua want out of the car? Was it her or Anne?

Clearly, Courtney had the same question, too. She furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua. smilingly saying, “Mr. Lynch, who among the both of them do you want them out?”

Joshua smiled. His endless dark eyes looked at Luna calmly before sweeping Courtney a glance.

“What do you think?”

Courtney furrowed her brows and thought that the person Mr. Lynch wanted out must be Luna!

First, Luna arrogantly contradicted her and Joshua a moment ago. Second, Courtney was Joshua’s secretary, so naturally, she would pick up some news about Joshua in Merchant City.

She knew that Luna’s identity at that moment was not only not his wife, but she was even his nemesis, the child of the Landrys.

It was only natural that Joshua wanted her out of the vehicle!

At that thought, Courtney crossed her arms around her chest and swept Luna an arrogant gaze.

“Did you not hear? Why are you still standing here? Get out.” Joshua looked at Courtney and said in a calm voice, “It’s you that I want out of the car.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1785

Met with Courtney’s baffled expression, Joshua calmly said, “Didn’t you find it noisy?”

He side-eyed Courtney and added, “Since you find it noisy, get out.”

At that moment, the driver stopped the vehicle by the side of the road.

Seeing Courtney not moving, Joshua swept her another gaze. “We’re rushing to the hospital. Get out. Don’t waste time.”

Courtney’s face instantly paled upon Joshua’s cold words. She bit her lip, trying to explain herself.

“Mr. Lynch, I was just saying this on your behalf. Don’t you find it noisy? You just returned to Banyan City, and there is so much for you to do that you have to even work on the way. Right now, time is just being wasted because of them…”

Joshua smiled. His deep voice was rather icy as he remarked, “A mother-to-be is bearing the pain and suffering to deliver her child. You can’t feel her greatness, yet you only hear the noise?”

He glanced at Courtney sideways coldly. “And to think that you’re a woman.”

Then, Joshua swept Courtney another glance. “Get out.”

With that, he lowered his head and continued reading the documents in his hand.

Courtney bit her lip. She wanted to say something else, but she was shocked by the powerful and cold aura Joshua emitted that she was at a loss for words.

In the end, she could only bite her lip, took her bag, and got out of the vehicle.

The vehicle moved once more, and Anne was still in immense pain. Initially, because of what Courtney said, she tried her best to be quiet, but as it got on, it was so unbearable that she could not help but start screaming again.

The driver sped up, finally reaching the hospital in the quickest time possible.

Luna had already called beforehand. When they reached the hospital, the obstetricians and nurses were already waiting by the entrance. Anne was pushed into the delivery room.

The lights on the operating sign were on. John clasped his hands together, so nervous that he did not know what to do.

Christopher was rubbing his hurting ears caused by Anne’s scream a moment ago. He took his phone out to update Bonnie on the situation.

Joshua, on the other hand, silently sat on the bench, looking at his phone with his head lowered.

Luna was a little confused.

Logically speaking, Joshua was helping because she was desperate. After sending Anne to the hospital, his job was done. Why did he not return to his office, even waited with them for Anne to deliver her baby?

Did Courtney not say that he was busy?

Although Luna was confused, Joshua still helped them a lot, so it would be terrible for Luna to chase him away.

She passed a bottle of water which she bought to Joshua before sitting down next to him.

“I thought you’d go back straight away.”

Joshua accepted the bottle, twisted the cap open before twisting it back again. Then, he swapped the bottle he had with the unopened bottle in Luna’s hand in a natural manner.

Luna was a little moved when she accepted the bottle which still had the warmth of his palms o n them.

What Joshua did was just a very small unimportant gesture, but Luna was surprisingly moved b y it.

It had been a long time since someone took care of her in such small matters.

Joshua opened the bottle that he swapped with Luna and took a mouthful. After the second gulp, he turned to look at Luna.

“Although someone has given birth to four children for me, I have never understood how much pain a woman has to bear to deliver a child.”

Then, he turned his head back and looked at the door of Anne’s delivery room in a serious gaze.

“Although it might be inappropriate, I want to stay here and experience this. I want to properly understand…how much I owe the mother of my children.”

Luna was instantly overwhelmed by mixed emotions. She turned her face to the other side and secretly sniffled. “It’s all in the past. There’s…no need to bring it up anymore.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1786

The times when Joshua was absent were all in the past. What was the point of bringing them u p again?

Luna and Joshua were no longer lovers. Heck, they were not even strangers.

They were enemies.

“I only want to understand.” Joshua smiled a little. He stopped talking to Luna, merely drinking water from the water bottle.

After an hour or so, a baby’s cries could be heard from the delivery room.

John was so excited that his tears almost fell. He tightly grabbed Christopher’s arm and exclaimed, “I’m going to be a father! I’m going to be a father! Christopher, I’m going to be a father!”

Christopher smiled awkwardly at him.

Luna, too, excitedly stood up and stood by the door of the delivery room, waiting for Anne to come.

Joshua remained seated. Looking at how excited John was, he smiled bitterly. If he was there when Luna had the triplets back then, he would probably be as excited as to how John was at that moment, would he not?

It turned out that not only did he miss out on the important moments in Luna’s life, but he

also missed the important moments in his life.

Soon after, the nurse carried the baby out.

“The mother and child are safe. It’s a boy!”

John excitedly looked at his son before anxiously waiting for Anne to come out. When Anne appeared, John immediately rushed forward and hugged her tightly.

Luna was touched by the scene in front of her, and a hint of bitterness rose in her heart.

She envied Anne’s life. She envied Anne’s love life and marriage.

Luna subconsciously looked away.

Joshua, who was initially seated by the bench, was not there anymore either. An envelope was placed where he was seated, and there was also a note as well.

Luna furrowed her brows, head over, and picked it up.

Joshua’s swift handwriting could be seen on the note. It read, (Congratulations. A gift for the child.)

Luna immediately passed the envelope to John. John had a look inside and noticed that it was a check worth 50,000 dollars.

John’s eyes almost popped out. “This is too much!”

John was already very grateful for such an important figure like Joshua to help send Anne to the hospital. He never would have thought that Joshua even gave his child such a huge gift!

“Just accept it.”

Luna smiled. “Treat it as a reward to you two for helping to take care of Nigel, Neil, and Nellie all this while.”

However, John firmly shook his head. “I cannot accept this.”

For the past six months, he had enjoyed the immense benefits Lynch Group gave him. He had also made a lot of money from Lynch Group. How could he possibly take Joshua’s gift?

John stuffed the check back into Luna’s hand.

“Anne just gave birth, and I can’t leave. Also, a person in my position can’t see Mr. Lynch whenever I want to. Luna, help me, please. Find a time and pass the check back to Mr. Lynch. Tell him that I appreciate the thought, but I can’t keep the check.”

Then, John pushed Anne back to her ward together with the doctor.

Luna lowered her gaze and looked at the 50,000-dollar check in her hand. She sighed heavily.

Coming out from the hospital, she took the cab with Christopher to Bonnie’s house.

On the way there, Luna was cracking her head on how to return the check to Joshua.

She was already at odds with him. This time around, she was back in Banyan City to steal his staff from him. How could she possibly dare to reach out to him again?

“Stop worrying.” Right when Luna was frustrated, Christopher’s voice pulled her back to reality. “Look. Who’s standing outside Bonnie’s house?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1787

Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously looked ahead.

Standing by the entrance of Bonnie’s house were Nigel, Neil, and Nellie, as well as Harvey and

June

The five little children stood there, waving at Luna non-stop

Harvey and Neil were at both ends, each holding one side of a huge red banner with yellow words. Their expressions were a mix of happiness and reluctance from being forced to hold the banner

The banner wrote, (We welcome our goddess, Ms. Luna!)

Nigel had his hands in his pockets, standing next to Neil gracefully. Nellie and June had a huge bouquet in their arms.

The scene in front of Luna instantly wiped out her gloom. Her eyes involuntarily turned sore. She sniffled her nose and forced her tears to not fall.

She must not cry at that moment. Try as she might, however, it was truly a tear-jerking worthy moment.

Nigel, Neil, and Nellie had been with her ever since birth, yet she had not been with them for almost a year.

Although they were only seven years old, Luna felt that they had grown in height and maturity.

Sensing Luna’s emotions, Christopher chuckled gently. “If you want to cry, just cry. They’re your children. It’s not embarrassing.”

Luna sniffled. She reached out and pressed her eyes, not saying anything.

Soon, the taxi stopped in front of Bonnie’s house. Luna opened the door and got out.

“Mommy!” Nellie was the first one to rush to Luna. She passed the bouquet to Luna and excitedly hugged Luna’s leg.

“Mommy, I really, really, really missed you!”

Luna was on the verge of crying. She could barely hold back her tears anymore. She placed the bouquet down and hugged Nellie in her arms, holding back her tears. .

At that moment, Neil and Nigel came over as well.

Neil burrowed himself in Luna’s arm, hugging Luna together with Nellie. Nigel, on the other hand, gently opened his arms wide and hugged Luna around her shoulders.

This was the first time they met after almost a year. They hugged and cried together.

“Okay, okay, stop crying by the door. Come in and cry all you want!”

At that moment, Bonnie, who heard the commotion, came out from her mansion, crossing her arms on her waist. She found the scene funny yet touching at the same time.

Hearing her good friend’s voice, Lama sniffled and looked up at Bonnie.

At that moment, Bonnie was in a blue and white apron. She even had a spatula on one hand, She did not look at all like the heiress of the Craig family, nor did she have the imposing aura a s the president of Craig Group.

Luna could not help but laugh out loud.

“How motherly. Are you planning to become my sister in law immediately this time after following me back to Merchant City?”

Bonnie could not help but blush. She glared at Luna. “I haven’t seen you for almost six months. Since when have you become so slick like your brother?”

Then, Bonnie turned around and said, “It’s almost two! Stop standing by the entrance. Come i n and eat!”

Luna responded before entering together with the five kids.

Christopher remained in the same spot. He took his phone out and snapped a photo of Luna taking the kids in before sending it to Jim.

After that, he kept his phone. He wanted to enter the mansion when he noticed a black Masevati parked at the corner on the road opposite Bonnie’s house.

He slightly furrowed his brows. He only knew of one person who liked a black Masevati, Joshua.

Thus, he turned to glance at the car once again before turning around and entering the mansion.

In the black Masevati, Joshua was seated in the passenger seat, looking in the direction of Bonnie’s mansion. His gaze seemed far away.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1788

Lucas, in the driver’s seat, furrowed his brows and said, “Sir, it truly is heartwarming. If only…

Lucas sighed and continued, “If only the person by Ma’am’s side is you. That’d be better.”

Joshua closed his eyes and leaned back. He gracefully leaned back on the leather seat.

“How are you getting on with the matter you were asked to investigate?”

Lucas paused for a while before collecting his emotions. He reported seriously, “We found out something.

“Although the person called Todd who crashed into Heather is now based in Merchant City, twenty years ago, he was living in Banyan City, like the Landrys and the Quinns. Initially, he was just an ordinary truck driver.”

Lucas paused for a while before he added, “One of the drivers who used to be close to Todd said that one night, Todd knocked on his door and said that he murdered someone, saying that he needed to be on the run.

“Because Todd borrowed quite a lot of money from him before Todd left, he remembered the date Todd ran away clearly. It was…the day of Colin Landry’s accident.”

Joshua squinted a little.

Todd was just an ordinary truck driver before killing Colin in Banyan City. That meant that after escaping to Merchant City, he got into a gang and even became the leader of one of the largest gangs in Merchant City.

He was only a truck driver. How did he manage to climb up the ranks in the gang?

Someone must have protected and assisted him.

Before Joshua interfered, Merchant City had always been under the rule of the Quinns and the Landrys. If that was the case, the family that had been protecting Todd must either be the Landrys or the Quinns.

However, the victims that Todd killed with his truck were from the Landry family. That meant that it could only be the Quinns.

Coincidentally, Heather had something to do with the Quinns, too.

Could…the conflict between the Landrys and the Lynchs back then have something to do with the Quinns as well?

At that thought, Joshua shut his eyes and rubbed the middle of his brows.

“Has Luke caught Todd yet?”

“No.”

joshua sneered. “It looks ilke as long as we find Todd, we’ll know who it was that killed Colin Landry back then.”

Colin and Heather’s accidents were similar. Even the truck used was of the same model, thus that meant the perpetrator should be the same person.

If Heather was murdered, that meant that Colin was murdered too. If that was the case, perhaps Colin’s death had little to do with Joshua’s grandmother tampering with Colin’s car.

At that thought, Joshua sighed. Granny Lynch has passed away for more than a year. If she was still alive and knew about this news, she would have been happy, right?

Although Granny Lynch had been domineering and decisive, that she had done many vicious things in the business world, but when it came to accidental manslaughter, it was only Colin.

It turned out that she had been framed, too.

“Let’s head back,” Joshua instructed calmly, taking another deep look at Bonnie’s mansion.

Lucas nodded and started the engine.

However, just when the car started moving, Joshua’s phone rang. It was a message from Luna.

(Won’t you come in and join us for a meal?]

Looking at the message on his phone, Joshua hesitated a little. He subconsciously looked in the direction of the mansion once again. At that moment, Luna stood by the balcony on the upper floor, silently watching him.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1789

Lucas noticed how Joshua was looking at Luna and had secretly reversed the car back to the original spot.

He then softly coaxed, “Sir, why don‘t…you go in? You haven‘t seen the children in more than a month, too.”

Joshua furrowed his brows a little. He looked at the message on his phone once again before h e got out of the car.

Leaning against the car, Joshua took his phone out and called Luna while looking at her on the balcony.

Luna picked the call up.

“I thought you‘d think I‘d be a party–pooper.”

Luna furrowed her brows. She swept a glance at the kids who were looking at her with their huge eyes in the distance. She sighed a little and said, “They miss you, too.”

If they did not want Joshua to join them for a meal, Nigel would not have secretly told Luna to head to the balcony to see Joshua‘s car. Nellie and Neil would not have sneaked a peek at her with hopeful expressions.

Luna and Joshua‘s relationship was in a rather awkward stage at that moment, so they should meet less frequently

However, Joshua was still the children‘s father. Also, he had just helped Luna send Anne, who was in labor, safely to the hospital.

It was more than alright for him to have a meal with them.

Joshua smiled and replied gently, “Okay.”

Soon, Joshua knocked on the door of the mansion. It was Bonnie who opened the door.

The moment Bonnie saw him, she rolled her eyes at him. However, she also knew that without Luna‘s permission, Joshua would not appear there. Thus, Bonnie said nothing, treating Joshua like he was invisible, and continued doing her things.

Nellie, on the other hand, was elated. She grabbed Joshua‘s large hands and brought him to see Shelly while recounting the interesting things that happened at their kindergarten.

“A strange lady came to our kindergarten previously. She likes to collect our hair. She said that she liked my shiny and black hair the best, so I gave her a lot of my hair. She even gave me many cute small gifts! But, she suddenly resigned and left a few days ago, and I could no longer exchange my hair for small gifts…”

Listening to Nellie ramble, Joshua smiled. He hugged Nellie in his arms and told her seriously,

“You can come to me if you want small gifts. Even if it‘s just hair, you cannot give them to strangers, do you hear me?”

Nellie pursed her lips and nodded her head ambiguously.

Still confused, however, she asked, “Daddy, what‘ll happen if you give your hair to others?”

“What‘ll happen is the hair that you gave away will come back haunting you as a ghost, scaring you in your dreams!” Harvey adjusted the glasses on his nose and chimed in.

Nellie‘s eyes widened and she was immediately frightened by her cousin. She wailed, “You‘re annoying!”

June, on the other side, sighed and grabbed Nellie‘s hand. She comforted Nellie, “Don‘t listent o him. He has just been reading too many horror stories.”

Luna, who witnessed this scene, could not help but smile. She looked at Nellie and wanted to say something when her eyes met with Joshua‘s deep, dark eyes. His gaze made Luna‘s smile plaster on her face before completely vanishing.

She lowered her head and swallowed the words that she wanted to say.

Soon, it was lunch. Everyone was in a great mood, but because Bonnie had some prejudice against Joshua, she put Shelly in Christopher‘s care after her meal, came up with the excuse of visiting Anne, and left.

Christopher was very dedicated, too. Even if Shelly was asleep, he still brought June to the nursery to keep watch.

Soon, it was only Luna, Joshua, and their three children left by the dining table. A welcome party suddenly became a private lunch for the family of five.

After lunch, Nigel, Neil, and Nellie followed Harvey upstairs to take a nap.

Joshua also got up and left.

When he was by the entrance, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Luna. “Are you not going to send me off?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1790

Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua. She remained seated.

Do you need me to send you off, Mr. Lynch?” she thought that inviting Joshua in for a meal

was more than enough.

Joshua swept her a glance at her and said calmly, Today is Granny‘s death anniversary. I‘m planning to visit her.”

Luna was taken aback at this, and she subconsciously looked at the date. It seemed that day was indeed the day that Granny Lynch passed away a year ago

Joshua returned to Banyan City that day was not because of her, but because it was Granny Lynch‘s death anniver

She still thought that he deliberately followed her back…

At that thought, Luna blushed a little. She felt that she was rather narcissistic.

She stood up and said, “I‘ll come with you.”

Granny Lynch was once hostile to her and even hurt her family. Regardless, before Granny Lynch died, she gave the lifesaving antidote to Nellie. If it were not for Granny Lynch, she would still be around the world looking for the antidote.

Once she got up, Luna lowered her gaze and looked at the red dress on her. She felt that it was rather inappropriate to visit her tombstone dressed in that.

Thus, she cleared her throat. “Please wait a while.”

Then, she immediately headed upstairs, pulled out a spare black dress from her luggage, and changed into it. With her hair tied up and having on a simple makeover, she went downstairs and said to Joshua, “Let‘s go.”

Joshua lowered his gaze and looked at the plain–face Luna in front of him. Compared to a year before when they were together in Banyan City, she had gotten much thinner. Her facial lines have become much more angular and sharper due to her being overly thin.

Nonetheless, she was still beautiful and adorable.

Joshua suppressed his urge to pinch her cheeks. He turned around and led the way.

“Let‘s go.”

The car engine started.

Joshua and Luna said nothing ever since they got into the car. Lucas, who was driving, enthusiastically tried to liven the mood, but no matter what Lucas said, Joshua and Luna gave him the shortest response possible.

In the end, even Lucas gave up and stopped trying

The silence in the car was extremely suffocating.

Joshua leaned back on the leather seat, shutting his eyes as he took a rest.

Luna pursed her lips and subconsciously turned to look at him. Joshua‘s side profile was still equally handsome and arrogant. It was angular, too.

This was once the face that she loved the most. Back then, she could put her hands on his face and traced his angular facial features, pinching his cold, aloof–looking face.

However, at that moment, Joshua had already become an unapproachable stranger to her.

In truth, Joshua was not asleep. He merely closed his eyes halfway, looking at Luna looking at him.

He knew that in her heart, she still could not let him go. They just had too many resentments and barriers between them.

If he could investigate and bring to light the truth to resolve their animosity between each other, they might still have a chance to get back together.

If not…

He also did not intend to continue tormenting each other with Luna any longer. If he had used all his might and he still could not resolve the animosity of the previous generation…

He would make a final decision on their behalf.

Soon, the car arrived at the graveyard,

They carried a bouquet of white flowers, walking one behind the other toward Granny Lynch‘s tombstone.

However, they bumped into two other people whom they recognized; Adrian Lynch and Celia Giles.

When he saw Joshua bring Luna along, Adrian instantly sneered. “Joshua, it‘s one thing when no one knew about it previously. Everyone now knows that Luna is from the Landry family. How dare you bring her to your grandmother‘s tombstone? Aren‘t you afraid that your grandmother would be angry and rise from her grave to haunt you?”
