Ch. 1791..1800

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1791

Joshua placed Luna behind him, shielding her.

“Granny liked Luna a lot when she was alive, so that‘s why I brought her here.” Joshua looked at Adrian with an ice–cold glare that could freeze a person alive.

“What about you? Granny hated your current wife the most when she was still alive, yet you still brought her to pay respects. If Granny sees this up above in heaven, she‘ll probably haunt your dreams while you‘re sleeping.”

Then, Joshua furrowed his brows and asked, “Why are only the two of you here? Where is your precious son, Michael?”

Joshua then pretended to come to a realization. “Oh, right! He‘s still in prison.”

At the mention of Michael, Adrian‘s and Celia‘s faces turned pale as a ghost.

A year ago, Michael was sentenced to life imprisonment for murdering Granny Lynch. Adrian was an accomplice, but he did not partake in the murder that day, so he was only sentenced to a few months in prison.

When he was released from prison, Adrian took Celia around pleading and threatening others, finding ways to reduce the sentence of their precious son, Michael.

Alas, Joshua had already made a deal with the prison. There was no way Michael‘s sentence would be reduced.

Adrian and Celia were in their fifties already, having lived a spoiled life all their lives when, all of a sudden, they suddenly lost their source of income while their precious son had been locked in prison for the rest of his life.

Due to the multiple blows and set back, the couple had been in grief and sorrow. They even fell sick.

For the past year, Adrian felt as if he had already tasted all the pain and torture of the world, which was why he brought Celia over to Granny Lynch‘s tombstone to pay her respects on her death anniversary. He prayed to Granny Lynch for forgiveness, asking her to protect their only precious son so that he would not be in so much pain.

At that moment, not only did Joshua not have pity for his father‘s misery, but he also deliberately brought Luna over and mentioned the fact that Michael was in prison to rub salto n his wounds!

Celia, being indignant as she was, gritted her teeth and glared at Joshua.

“Michael is your younger brother, no matter what! It‘s one thing if you don‘t help him get out of prison, but you even made a deal to not get his sentence reduced!”

Then, she pointed at Luna, who stood behind Joshua. “You don‘t pity your father, you don‘t recognize your brother, yet you‘re in bed with the woman who is the enemy of the Lynch family! How do you think Granny Lynch, who sacrificed her whole life for the Lynch family, would feel? You‘re not worthy of being a member of the Lynch family!”

Joshua narrowed his eyes dangerously at Celia‘s words,

The surrounding temperature dropped abruptly.

Joshua sneered and pressed in closer toward Celia. “If I‘m not worthy to be a member of the Lynch family, are you?”

Adrian immediately rushed forward and grabbed Celia‘s arm. “Stop talking!”

He was truly afraid of Joshua. Although he casually took a jab at Joshua just seconds ago, he knew the limits. He was just bickering.

However, Celia‘s words have clearly infuriated Joshua, and if Joshua got angry, they would be i na more miserable state!

Alas…Celia could no longer heed Adrian‘s advice.

For the past year, because she could not rescue Michael out of prison, her desperation and resentment toward Joshua had piled up.

At that moment, when she finally saw Joshua in person, how could she so easily let him go?

Celia glared at Joshua and said coldly, “Am I wrong? On the surface, you act like you‘re avenging your grandmother. You‘ve been in Merchant City all this while going up against the Landrys, but what then? It has been a year, but not only did the Landrys have not fallen, but they even became better thanks to the woman behind you! Is this how you avenge your grandmother? And you dare bring her here to pay respects?”

Celia crossed her arms at her chest.

“You should just stop avenging her. Why the pretense? Just hand over Lynch Group to the woman behind you; won‘t that be better? What does it matter to you that your grandmother has fought and persevered for the last twenty years? On one hand, you keep saying that you and the Landrys are enemies, yet you‘re still entangled with the daughter of the enemy. Is your grandmother‘s life so cheap in your eyes?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1792

Joshua secretly clenched his fists at Celia‘s words

Feeling the austerity Joshua emitted, Luna bit her lip. She knew that Joshua was trying his best to suppress his anger.

Celia‘s words were like a knife, bloodily sawing away on Joshua’s most fragile nerves.

Luna looked at how tightly Joshua was clenching his fist. She furrowed her brows and walked u p to him. “Joshua, calm down,” she coaxed him in a hushed voice as she gently held his arm.

At that moment, she was in no position to talk on behalf of Joshua, so that was all she could do.

Nonetheless, Luna‘s voice and touch made Joshua relax a little, and the burning anger in his eyes died down a little.

Looking at Luna comforting Joshua, Celia cackled in an even more unhinged manner. After all, she had lost her life of luxury and could no longer see her precious son. She would say whatever she wanted to say. She no longer cared!

As long as Joshua was irked, she would be happy!

At that thought, Celia continued saying loudly, ‘I‘m correct, aren‘t I, Joshua? You‘re still so obedient even now. You think that you treat her well because of your love for each other, but it has always been unrequited.

“Once she knew that she was a Landry, even if she knew about the feud between the Lynchs and the Landrys, she still chose to give up and return to the Landrys.

“What about you? You can‘t give her up like what she did to you. You can‘t even place your family first. You—”

Looking at how Celia was going to make Joshua flare up soon, Adrian rushed forward once again to cover Celia‘s mouth.

“Shut up! Shut up!”

If she continued talking like that, they would not have the chance to continue living in Banyan City!

Celia, however, did not give up. She shrugged Adrian‘s arm off and continued, “You–”

Adrian realized that he could not stop that lunatic woman. In the end, he picked up a rock and knocked it against the back of Celia‘s head.

Blood trickled down from her head. Celia‘s eyes rolled over and she passed out.

Luna did not expect that to happen. She dazedly looked at Adrian hugging Celia in his arms while apologizing to Joshua.

Adrian was still the same as before; he did not have a bottom line. There was no limit to what h e would do.

To not offend Joshua, he used a rock to knock Celia unconscious…

“Please don‘t mind her, Joshua. Think nothing of her words,” Adrian apologized while pressing on the place where Celia‘s head was bleeding.

Joshua furrowed his brows. He coldly swept him a gaze.

“Lucas.”

“Sir?”

“Call an ambulance, and have Ms. Giles brought away.”

Then, Joshua swept Adrian a glance.

“Go with Lucas and send her out to wait for the ambulance. Once you settle her in, there is something I need to ask you.”

Joshua lowered his gaze and looked at the time.

“You have fifteen minutes.”

Adrian was stunned for a while before immediately nodding. “Yes! Yes! Alright!”

The two men carried Celia away. Luna was still looking at Adrian‘s back in a daze. She could not pull her gaze away from Adrian.

“Luna”

Placing the bouquet of white flowers by Granny Lynch‘s tombstone, Joshua then asked calmly, “In your heart, is the family feud more important than me?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1793

Luna was taken aback by Joshua’s question. She bit her lip, not knowing how to answer. He… It was he who prioritized the family feud over his relationship. If he did not ignore her, shut her out, or constantly break her heart into pieces, she would not have chosen to return to the Landrys. All that, and Joshua dared to turn and asked her whether the feud was more important than him. If it was back then, Luna would tell him that he was more important without any hesitation, but…they have already broken up for a very long time. They were on opposing sides already, and the Landrys would not easily forgive Colin’s death. The Lynchs, on the other hand, would not look past the death of Lucy and Granny Lynch. It was meaningless to dwell on whether he was more important or the feud. Luna sighed and said, “It’s not important anymore.” Joshua’s hand which was fidgeting with the bouquet paused a little. He smiled mockingly, bitterly so. “It’s not important, you say?” Sensing his emotions, Luna stopped talking, in case she provoked him further. She walked over to Granny Lynch’s tombstone and placed the bouquet before the tombstone. “If you’re not important, why would I fight so hard to protect our fourth child?” “If the feud wasn’t important, I would’ve long followed you back.” Luna looked at the black-and-white photo of Granny Lynch and added, “There are things where we can’t change, so I have decided to resign to fate.” They were fated to be on two parallel lines. She long knew about this fact. Their relationship from the beginning was just her trying to force it to happen. She knew that he did not like her, yet she still married him and bore his children. She knew that when she returned, she should not be involved with him, yet she still ended up entangled in his life. That was how they ended up that way, with karma and retribution. Joshua stood on the same spot, looking at Luna’s thin figure with darkened eyes. After a while, he walked over and hugged her slim figure from behind tightly. “I don’t want to resign to fate.” Luna was caught off guard by the sudden hug. The familiar warmth and scent made her heart flutter, but she still fought with all her might. “Joshua, let go of me!” Joshua hugged her tightly in his arms.

“I don’t want to let you go.” His deep voice sounded rather meek, “Luna, I don’t want to let go of you.” Although Celia’s words a moment ago were harsh, they were the truth. For the past year, he had countless opportunities to destroy and bankrupt the Landrys. He was only afraid that she would be upset. He was even more afraid that she would hate him, so he had been hesitating, not daring to act. He truly missed her. He did not want to give up their relationship, which came by with such difficulty. Seven years ago, when Luna was in the accident, he had secretly sworn that he would not remarry again for her. A year ago, she finally returned to him. Even if there was a huge feud between them, he did not want to let her go-not a single bit. Hearing such lowly words coming from a usually arrogant and aloof man, Luna was heartbroken as if something was squeezing her heart tightly. She bit her lip and gently grabbed onto Joshua’s hands, which were around her waist. She pried his hand off, finger by finger. “Mr. Lynch, I know that I owe you three times in bed, but you don’t need to do it in front of your grandmother’s tombstone, right?” Joshua’s eyes instantly darkened by what Luna said.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1794

A moment later, Joshua let Luna go with a darkened expression. He said that he owed her only because he was angry at her previously for attending Mr. Hanson’s banquet on her own, then came up with the excuse that she has had sex to make a deal with him. He kept mentioning it because he wanted to remind her to not use her body as a bargaining chip. He never expected that Luna would use this to provoke him, right when he hugged her, when he could not hold back his feelings for her. Joshua looked at Luna’s face and smiled coldly. “So, you’re admitting that you’re using your body as a transaction?” Then, he sneered. “Since it’s a transaction, I’ll decide the time and place.” Joshua closed in on Luna’s ears, speaking with a low voice laced with mockery,” Tonight, at ten. Orchard Manor. I’ll see you there.” Luna paled at Joshua’s words in an instant. She only said what she said because she wanted to pull him out of his moody emotions, yet he truly thought that she was using her body as a transaction with him. He even set a time and date. Just when the atmosphere between them was so overwhelming and suffocating, Adrian returned running from outside, panting. He patted his chest while lowering his gaze and looking at the time. “Fifteen minutes, just in time. Joshua, I’m back.” Adrian’s voice wiped out the depressing atmosphere between Luna and Joshua. Luna turned around and wanted to leave, but Joshua pulled her back. “Don’t go. There are things to talk about.”

Then, Joshua fished a photo out from his pocket and showed it to Adrian, “Do you know this man?” The photo was of a bald, bearded man, and the gesture confused Adrian Why was Joshua asking him this? He hesitated for a very long time before shaking his head. “No.” Joshua smiled and took out another photo. The man in the photo was the same as the previous one, but without the beard and with hair. Adrian finally widened his eyes. “I’ve seen him before!” 20 years ago, the night of Colin’s accident, Adrian was driving home while he met face-to-face with the driver. At that time, Adrian was still curious why his truck reeked of blood. He did not know that the man was the perpetrator that killed Colin. It was only when he got home did he hear about how Colin met in an accident after the negotiation with Granny Lynch when he left the Lynchs’ place. Adrian even wanted to help the police, but the situation that night was too chaotic. H e could not remember the car number plate nor the specific facial features of the person, so he could only give up. However, at that moment, when Adrian saw the photo once again, his memories were instantly awoken.

“This was the man who killed Colin in the car crash!” When Luna heard Adrian mention Colin’s name, she instantly felt her blood freeze. She looked at Joshua in a daze before looking at Adrian. “What do you mean…?” Joshua passed the two photos to Luna. “This photo is what Todd looks like now, and the other was him twenty years ago. We’ve managed to find out that Todd was the one who killed Heather.” Joshua looked at Luna deeply. “It was he who killed Colin twenty years ago, too.” Luna bit her lip at this, and her hands that held the photo trembled a little. “So…” Joshua calmly interrupted her, “So as long as we find Todd, we’ll be able to know who ordered your uncle’s murder.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1795

Luna was instantly stunned. Dazed, she stared at Joshua, who stood before her. “You…” She never expected that Joshua was secretly investigating Colin’s death. “Yes.” Upon hearing what Joshua said, Adrian sighed and said, “When Colin died after the accident, everyone blamed Mother. She blamed herself, too. She shouldn’t have gotten someone to mess with Colin’s car. “But the truth is, Mother was just angry at Colin for Lucy’s death. She only wanted to teach him a lesson, but she never thought of killing him. Then, Adrian looked at Granny Lynch’s tombstone with a rare solemn expression. He said, “According to her character, if she wanted to kill someone on Lucy’s behalf, she would’ve killed Charles Landry, not his kind younger brother Colin.” Luna bit her lip. Yes, it made sense. Although Luna had many unhappy conflicts with Granny Lynch, she still understood Granny Lynch’s character very well.

If Granny Lynch wanted to kill someone to seek revenge, she would have killed Charles instead and not Colin, who went to the Lynchs to apologize on Charles’ behalf. It was only at that time, whether it was the Landrys or the Lynchs, they only found out about Granny Lynch who tinkered with Colin’s brakes, yet they could not find the driver who killed him. Charles and Rosalyn agreed that the driver must have also been hired by Granny Lynch, which was why they completely blamed her for Colin’s death. However, after so many years, no one found the driver. She never thought that Heather’s death would reopen the case of Colin’s death 20 years ago. She also never would have thought that the only witness of Colin’s accident 20 years ago was Adrian. Remaining in the same spot, Luna only felt blood continuously rushing to her head. She looked at Adrian before glancing at Joshua. “This Todd…” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “He’s in Merchant City right now. Luke’s men are searching for him.” Looking at Joshua’s cold and angular face, Luna sniffled before looking at him solemnly and said, “Thank you.” She never expected that Joshua would help investigate her uncle’s death. Joshua smiled flatly. He turned to glance at Granny Lynch’s black and white photo. “I did it for Granny.”

The thing that Granny Lynch regretted the most in her life was accidentally killing the kind-hearted Colin. Since Todd had appeared, Joshua could finally solve the case from back then. He believed that Todd was not hired by Granny Lynch. After all, if Todd was one of Granny Lynch’s men, he would not dare to join the gang i In Merchant City, the place where the Landrys live, after killing one of their family members. Thus, he was either hired by Charles, killing Colin to deepen the feud between the Landrys and the Lynchs, or by the Quinn family. The Quinns wanted to benefit from the conflict between the Lynchs and the Landrys’. Luna’s heart sank a little upon hearing what Joshua said. She looked at Granny Lynch’s tombstone once more before taking a step back and bowing at the tombstone. Finally, she looked at Joshua once more and said, “If there is news about Todd, please let me know.” Then, Luna turned and left. Even if her father had gone mental and her mother in a vegetative stage, if they knew that they finally found Colin’s murderer, they would be happy. Standing in the same spot, Adrian looked at Luna leaving. He furrowed his brows a little and said, “Even if you found out that mother didn’t kill her uncle, what use is there? Lucy was tortured and beaten to death. The Landrys can’t run from this.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1796

“Even if you don’t care about it, as long as you’re the head of the Lynch family, you can’t just let this go. You’ll be letting everyone down if you do.” Joshua squinted at this. He calmly turned around and looked at Adrian, his gaze ice cold. “You shouldn’t worry yourself with these things; they’re none of your business. The thing that I do is to clear Granny’s name so that she may rest in peace.” Then, Joshua left. Adrian furrowed his brows. Seeing Joshua leaving, he immediately chased after him. “Joshua, give me some money! Your Aunt Celia is injured because of me. I can’t afford her medical bills…!”

Luna was rather distracted when she came out from the graveyard. She was in the car, looking out of the window at the scenery with mixed emotions. It turned out that for quite a while, other than constantly attacking the Landrys and the Quinns, Joshua had been helping investigate Heather’s death as well as Colin’s accident back then. Luna closed her eyes. Joshua’s words while hugging her from behind a moment ago appeared on her mind. “I don’t want to resign to fate. I don’t want to give up.” Luna bit her lip and tears silently fell from her eyes. She thought that Joshua was only just saying those out of anger. She never thought that he would really investigate it. He was searching for a way to make their relationship a possibility. What about her? She had been constantly immersed in her loathing against him. She only wanted to revive the Landry Group and surpass the Lynch Group, yet she never thought of trying to investigate into the past, to resolve the resentment and grudge back then. If Colin’s death had nothing much to do with Granny Lynch, then the feud between the Lynchs and the Landrys was all the Landrys’ fault. What should she do? Luna suddenly opened her eyes. She suddenly recalled Samuel Quinn’s ambiguous words when he gave her the ring. Luna bit her lip. She suddenly remembered that when she was at the Quinns back then, one of the servants had inadvertently said that Samuel’s first love was tortured t o death by Granny Quinn. Was Lucy not Samuel’s first love? At that thought, Luna shivered. If Lucy’s death truly had something to do with the Quinns, did that mean that the feud between the Landrys and the Lynchs would be resolved? This realization made Luna’s heart beat harder.

She took her phone out to call Jim, wanting to tell him about the news regarding Colin’s death as well as ask him to investigate Lucy’s death back then. After all, Lucy was Jim’s biological mother. If he knew that Lucy’s death might havet o do with someone else, he would definitely help her out. However, Luna did not expect that the person who picked up the call was a woman. “Hello?” It was Charlotte. Luna remembered her hoarse voice clearly. Luna was stunned. “Why is it you who picked up? Where is my brother?” Charlotte, on the other end of the line, smiled. “He went to the bathroom.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1797

Luna was so shocked that she was speechless for a long while. Jim was like Joshua. They had a lot of trade confidential information on them, thus their phone held the lifeline to the company. They would never simply leave their phone, let alone leave their phone with someone they were not close to. Luna furrowed her brows. “Why are you with my brother?”

Charlotte, on the other end of the line, merely smiled. She looked at Jim, who had passed out slumped on the table in front of her. “It’s because he asked me out, of course.” Then, she sighed and said, “Don’t get me wrong. He looked for me not because he wanted to get back together with me. It’s because…” Charlotte raised her eyebrows. “He wanted to chase me away while you’re not in Merchant City. He wanted me to stay away from you.” Then, Charlotte sighed and said, “But I don’t have the time to waste on you. He’s overthinking this.” Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else when Charlotte gave the excuse that Jim had returned and hung up. Luna clutched her phone tightly as she heard the dial beeping. Waves of unease washed over her.

Luna did not believe what Charlotte said. After all, even if Jim truly asked Charlotte out for coffee to warn her to stay away from Luna, he would not have given his phone to her when he went to the bathroom, This was not something Jim would do. However, she was in Banyan City at that moment. She could not personally verify if what Charlotte said was true. After a while, Luna could only take her phone and call the butler of the Landry Mansion. She got him to send someone to look for Jim to make sure he was alright. After hanging up her phone, Luna closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat, resting. When the car was by Bonnie’s house, only then did she suddenly recall that she had forgotten to pass the check that John got her to return to Joshua. She took the 500000 dollar-check out from her pocket, looking at Joshua’s flamboyant handwriting. She helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. She was rather forgetful recently. Could Jim be like her, forgetting his phone, leaving i t with Charlotte? Coming out from the taxi, Luna had only entered the courtyard of Bonnie’s mansion when Jim called. “Luna.” Jim’s voice sounded rather exhausted. Luna pursed her lips. “Jim, just now, did you…” Jim yawned and sounded a little groggy as if he had just woken up. “I was having coffee with Charlotte just now. I left my phone with her. Were you looking for me?”

Hearing Jim’s voice, Luna paused for a while. Something was not right. “Jim, you don’t seem like the type who’d leave their phone with other people.” Jim chuckled. “Well, I’m not perfect; I make mistakes too. Don’t worry about it. The butler sent someone to check on me. Did you send for him?” Luna responded calmly. “Don’t do such a thing again in the future.” Jim sounded serious. “Although you’re the head of the Landry family and the butler should follow your orders, I’m still your older brother. Stop getting the servants to check up on me. If you really don’t trust m e, you could just chase me out of the family, and I’ll stop being the vice president of the Landry Group.” Luna could not help but widen her eyes upon Jim’s words. “Jim, that’s not what I meant.” She just did not trust Charlotte, worried that something might have happened to him. Why did the situation morph into something as though she was sending people to spy on him and control him because she supposedly did not trust him?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1798

“I don’t care what you mean.” Jim’s voice on the other end of the line became stern and cold. “I don’t want this to happen again. I’m your brother, not your prisoner. Stop getting people to follow me.” Jim did not even ask Luna why she was looking for her as he immediately hung up. Luna clutched her phone tightly, and she felt like she was struck dumb by lightning. She could not believe that the man talking to her on the other end of the line a moment ago was her brother, Jim. Jim never spoke to her with such an attitude before.

He also never said anything about controlling and spying or her not trusting him. Why did he… Just when Luna was depressed about that, the butler called. “Ms. Luna,” the butler said with a sigh, “didn’t you say that you were worried that something had happened to Mr. Landry? “After your call, I contacted Mr. Landry’s driver and assistant. After making sure of his location, I sent two bodyguards over, but…” The butler paused for a while. He sounded despondent when he continued, “When M r. Landry found out about it, not only did he chase the bodyguards away, but he also even fired his driver and assistant on the spot. “His driver and assistant have been working for the Landry Group for a very long time, and they were handpicked from a thousand candidates. Now that he has just fired them just like that… What should I do?” Luna felt her head becoming numb. What happened to Jim? He had been using his driver and assistant even after his huge quarrel with Charles and moving out of the Landry Mansion. Previously, when they were chatting, Jim had mentioned that his driver and assistant had been working for him for many years. They were all smart workers. Why would he… Luna sighed and furrowed her brows.

“Please help me comfort the driver and assistant, get them to… “Get them to stay. When I return to Merchant City a week later, I’ll get them to be my driver and assistant.” Luna felt that Jim was just throwing a tantrum. Once she returned, apologized, and cleared the air, he would naturally regret it and hire them once again. The butler on the other end of the line sighed. “Alright, understood. This is the only solution right now.” Then, he could not help but lament, “I’ve been in the Landry family for twenty years, and this is the first time I’ve seen Mr. Landry lose his temper this way. Why would he think that you’re spying on him?” Luna rubbed the middle of her brows. “I don’t know, either.” That morning, before she left, Jim had even prepared a feast of a breakfast for her. H. e reminded her to return as soon as possible as well as to bring Bonnie back to Merchant City. How did he change into a different person in just one afternoon? “Luna!” Right at this moment, Bonnie’s excited voice rang from behind. Luna immediately hung up, turned around, and looked. Bonnie was carrying bags of groceries with the help of her assistant. “I was on the way back from visiting Anne when I saw the barbecue restaurant that i used to like a lot.

I went to the kitchen and bought all the meat they prepared for the night. Let’s have a barbecue tonight!” Luna did not know whether to laugh or cry. She took over some bags from Bonnie. “You bought the meat they prepared for the night. Only you would do such a thing.” Bonnie smiled and carried the bags in together with Luna. She furrowed her brows and said, “Oh, right, Luna. I just called you brother, but I can’t get through to him. I’ve tried more than ten times, but I can’t get him. My assistant said that I’ve been blocked. Why did he block me?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1799

Luna furrowed her brows at Bonnie’s words. “Huh…strange.” Bonnie placed the food that she bought into the fridge while sighing. “Say, what do you think Jim is doing?” He told her the day before that he wanted her to take Shelly to Merchant City. He even said that Harvey wanted him to marry her so she would become his wife. She had not even gone to Merchant City nor agreed to become his wife, yet he had already blocked her? Was he pissed because the night before he sent her a message, she did not reply because she fell asleep?

In Bonnie’s mind, Jim was not such a petty man. Looking at Bonnie, Luna pursed her lips. She knew that Jim was acting rather strangely that day, but she could not pinpoint the reason. She could only smile and reply to Bonnie, “Maybe he’s just throwing a fit because he’s in a bad mood. The Landry Group issue seems to be getting to him.” Regardless, Luna knew how important Bonnie was to Jim. Otherwise, Jim would not have excitedly asked Luna to join him for lunch the day before and announced to her that he wanted to be together with Bonnie and his decision to propose to her. Jim could not hide his feelings for Bonnie. As for blocking her…maybe he was angry at her. It was the same thing as how he fired his driver and assistant. It was due to his emotions. Bonnie expected Luna’s answer. She pursed her lips and came out from the kitchen. She sat on the sofa in a comfortable position. “For the last six months. I’ve tried to change my temper for him. Now, it’s his turn to b e emotional.” Bonnie picked an apple up and took a huge bite. “When I’m in Merchant City, I’ll have to talk to him about this. If he throws a fit at me, surely won’t agree to marry him. I won’t give in to an unpredictable man.” Luna smiled, not daring to say more about Jim. She casually changed the topic and mentioned Anne. Upon mentioning Anne, Bonnie instantly had lots to talk about.

“Anne’s little chubby boy looks just like her! He’ll be a handsome man when he grows up! John said that he wants to arrange a marriage with my Shelly. He also said that h. e was going to name the kid Willie. Willie and Shelly; sounds like a match made in heaven. “I didn’t agree to it. After all, if I were to live with Jim in the future, I’d most definitely b e in Merchant City. Anne and John would still be in Banyan City.

“I don’t want my daughter to have a long-distance relationship from a young age!” Luna laughed tears of joy. “You truly do take Shelly as your daughter. She’s so young, yet you’re already worrying about her having a long-distance relationship?” Bonnie pouted and nodded. “Of course. Although Shelly isn’t my biological daughter, I’ve taken care of her for more than a month. I have long treated her as my own.” Then, Bonnie looked at the screensaver on the TV. It was as if her gaze penetrated through the walls, looking into the distance. “I can’t seem to find my child. My assistant and driver said that the child might not be on this earth anymore. After all, the child left me when he was barely a month old. It’s been six years already, and I’ve been looking for him for almost a year.” Bonnie closed her eyes. Her usually spirited voice sounded depressed as she added,”

For the past year, not only have I searched through all the wealthy people in Merchant City, but I’ve also looked through the ordinary people, even in the surrounding cities of Merchant City. Even in Banyan City where I live. I’ve looked everywhere, including the most suspicious families. No matter how I look, I can’t find my child. “Perhaps God took a pity on me, seeing how much I wanted to look for my child, so H e got Jim to send Shelly to me.” Then, Bonnie let out a long breath. She opened her eyes and smiled at Luna. “That’s why I’ve stopped caring who this child’s mother is. I don’t even want to know why Jim would get other women pregnant with his child.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1800

“Anyway, according to the timeline, when the woman was pregnant, Jim and I weren’t together yet. Now that the child is with me, Jim has promised me that he’ll n o longer get together with any other woman. The mother of the child isn’t going to fight with me for the child, so I’m happy.” Luna walked over and gently held Bonnie’s hand. She did not know why, but she suddenly felt Bonnie had become her old self once more. When Luna first knew Bonnie, Bonnie was deeply in love with Jason, willing to sacrifice whatever it took to be with Jason.

She was even willing to swap places with Aura in the mental asylum to find Jason, all because she just wanted to know where Jason was. Of course, Jason’s betrayal came to light later down the line, and Bonnie completely gave up on him. She then became a fiery, frivolous, heiress with a temper. At that moment, Bonnie seemed to have reverted to her old self. If it was the previous Bonnie with a fiery temper, she would not have just let things go. She would investigate Jim’s ex-partner, and she would have thought about Shelly’s biological mother, too. However… Luna sighed and looked at Bonnie seriously. She said, “Don’t worry. Jim will treat you well. If he treats you badly, I’ll be the first one to fight him.” Luna knew how Jason had lied to Bonnie. Once Bonnie fell in love, she would disregard everything else naively, just like Luna once was. Thus, no matter what, Luna would never let Jim become a second Jason. When she heard what Luna said, Bonnie came to her senses. She smiled and let go o f Luna’s hand, punching Luna’s shoulder. “If you have time to deal with my issues, you should deal with yours first.

It would surely be hard to find it if she were to look for it at that moment. She blamed herself for trusting Malcolm too much back then. Bonnie furrowed her brows upon Luna’s words. She immediately got up, headed to the drawers in her study, and retrieved the jade ring that Harvey dropped previously, showing it to Luna. “Are you talking about this ring?” When Luna took over the ring that Bonnie passed to her, her eyes instantly widened. “Why do you have this?” She remembered that Jim’s ring was always on his hand, so the ring Bonnie had…
