Ch. 1881..1890

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1881

Throughout the entire journey from the bus station back to Joshua’s house, the only thing Luna could think of was the sad look in Gwen’s eyes when Luke carried her away.

Luna could sense the despair and helplessness Gwen had felt.

However, every time she looked at Luna, she tried to make her expression look as calm as possible and even tried to signal that she would be fine.

However…the more Gwen tried to be strong, the more guilty Luna felt.

She did not have the courage to tell Gwen that it was her fault she had gotten caught.

It was all her fault.

She had let Joshua find out about Gwen’s plan and allowed him to notify Luke, which led to Gwen’s capture.

Luna closed her eyes and clenched her fists.

The car soon arrived at Joshua’s house.

Luke’s men quickly got out of the car and opened Luna’s door. As he did so, he shoved a flash drive into her hands. “Ms. Luna, this is the thing that Ms. Gwen wanted to give you. Please take good care of it.”

Luna took the flash drive from him, frowning with puzzlement. “Why is this flash drive with you?”

If she remembered correctly, Gwen had been taken away immediately after she stepped out of the washroom and did not even get a chance to say goodbye to Luna, much less have the time to hand this flash drive to one of Luke’s men.

Therefore, why would this flash drive end up in his hands?

The man seemed to see through Luna’s confusion and smiled. “Ms. Gwen had used this flash drive to connect to our boss’ computer and copy its contents, but she had forgotten to remove it when she left.

“Boss found this flash drive in his computer and managed to guess what Ms. Gwen was trying to do, so h e passed it to me to hand it over to you.”

With that, he curled his lips into another smile and added, “Ms. Gwen had asked for you to meet her at the station so she could pass this flash drive to you personally.”

Luna tucked the flash drive away, a little dubious of the man’s words.

Would Gwen be so careless as to leave the flash drive connected to Luke’s laptop while trying to steal its contents?

Besides, why was Luke so nice? Why did he keep the flash drive and even hand it over to his men, despite knowing Gwen intended to steal his information and escape?

No matter how she looked at it, Luna still thought this was a trap.

Therefore, as soon as Luke’s subordinate left, she shoved the flash drive into the deepest, innermost layer of her crossbody bag.

She had better things to take care of and did not have the time to fall for one of Luke’s tricks.

After letting out an exhale and regaining her composure, Luna strode into the house.

Inside the living room, Joshua was sitting on the sofa, talking on the phone.

Luke’s curt voice rang out from the other end of the line, “My subordinate says that he’s already sent Luna home safely, and if she doesn’t appear, it has nothing to do with me.”

Joshua furrowed his brows slightly when he heard Luke’s emotionless tone and could not help asking,” How’s Gwen doing now? You… You should show her some mercy.” This was the first thing Luna heard when she walked through the door.

She curled her lips into a smirk, and a glimmer of malice flashed through her eyes.

This man! Joshua should have known!

He should have known that Luke would not show Gwen mercy after she tried to escape from him, but he chose to notify Luke of her escape plans which led to her being caught! 1

What a traitor! Gwen had helped him in the past, but this was how he repaid her?

Back when Joshua was framed by Malcolm and Heather as the murderer who almost killed Rosalyn, Gwen was the one who notified him in secret, which led to him arriving at the scene just in time and being able to explain himself.

Gwen was such a kind soul and had never gotten on Joshua’s bad side before. However, Joshua betrayed her when she tried to escape and notified Luke of her plans!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1882

Luna felt her chest tighten as soon as she thought of this.

What infuriated her even more was the playful tone of Joshua’s voice as he teased Luke, “Don’t worry about me. You just take care of Gwen, and I’ll handle Luna from here. She and I won’t fight over this, so don’t worry.

“Alright then, I’ll be waiting to hear good news from you, and hopefully, i’ll get a wedding invitation soon.”

Luna could feel her blood pressure rise when she heard this.

All the blood in her body seemed to rush into her head.

How dare this man even say something like this?

He was telling Luke to take care of Gwen and not worry about him since he would have a way of handling Luna himself,

He even said he looked forward to receiving an invitation to Gwen and Luke’s wedding soon.

Luna let out an exhale and stomped over to him. “Joshua Lynch!”

Joshua furrowed his brows when he sensed Luna’s fury, but before he could say anything, Luna lifted her hand and swung it toward his face

Before she could slap him, however, Joshua reached out and grabbed hold of her hand. He furrowed his brows and stared at her with his cold, penetrating gaze. “What on earth are you doing?”

However, in her heightened anger, Luna did not seem to hear him at all. She struggled against his grasp. trying to remove her arm from his grip, but to no avail.

Unable to do anything, she glared at him in anger and snapped, “Let go of me!”

“Why are you so angry?” Joshua narrowed his eyes. “Who did this to you?”

Who did this to her?

Who else did?

Luna bit her lip and continued to glare at Joshua. “Don’t pretend like you don’t know what I’m talking about.

“Joshua Lynch, I thought you were a good person, but it turns out you’re a traitor who rats on people behind their backs!”

Joshua narrowed his eyes, still unable to understand what she was trying to say.

Was he still playing dumb?

A glimmer of malice flashed through Luna’s eyes as she fixed her angry gaze on Joshua’s chiseled face. “I f you hadn’t told Luke, Gwen wouldn’t have been caught! She wanted nothing more than to escape Luke and regain her freedom, but you foiled her plans and let her get captured just to get on Luke’s good side!”

Gwen’s forlorn gaze reappeared in Luna’s mind as she said this.

Pain, sadness, and regret surged into Luna’s heart, so much so that tears started to brim in her eyes and her voice began to choke as she continued, “I’m worried that Gwen won’t survive this!”

Joshua gripped Luna’s arm tightly, and seeing the demented look in her eyes, he finally understood what Luna was talking about.

He narrowed his eyes and replied, “I didn’t tell Luke anything.”

Even though he had already guessed what Gwen was trying to do when he found out that Luna was waiting for her at the bus station, he still did not expose Gwen’s plans to Luke, despite Luke being his best friend.

“Is that so?” Luna scoffed. “Well, if that’s the case, then what were you talking about on the phone just now?

“Why did Luke say you asked him to send me home safely when we were at the station just now? “Are you trying to say that you hadn’t gotten in touch with him before this?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1883

Joshua immediately frowned when he heard this.

He had indeed been on a phone call with Luke previously while at the bus station, but he had not called him to rat on Gwen.

He had called Luke out of concern that he would blame this on Luna, knowing that Luke and Luna would definitely run into each other at the station.

As soon as he heard that Gwen was heading to the station to meet Luna, he contacted Caleb to verify whether Luke was in Lincoln City.

After all, Luke had been planning to head there for a business trip, and Lincoln City was Caleb’s territory.

Therefore, if Luke had arrived there, Caleb would surely have been alerted of his presence.

Because of this, as soon as Caleb told him that Luke had not come to Lincoln City, Joshua immediately knew that Luke had pulled a no-show on the man he had been planning to meet with for a business opportunity

The reason he had done so was to recapture Gwen, the bird who had attempted to escape from her captivity in search of freedom.

With Luke’s influence and power, there was no way Gwen would be able to escape unless so long as he made up his mind to keep her captive.

Therefore, Gwen’s escape had all been a part of Luke’s plan since the start.

Luke had known of her intentions since the beginning and thus did not need Joshua to eavesdrop on her conversation with Luna and rat on her to find out.

However…

Joshua furrowed his brows as he glanced at the furious woman standing before him.

He knew that at the height of her anger, Luna would not believe him, even if he explained everything.

Not only that, but she would even be convinced that all this was just an excuse.

“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” When she noticed that Joshua did not reply, Luna forcefully removed her hand from his grasp and fixed her clear eyes, which burned with rage, on his face. “I knew it!

“Joshua Lynch, Gwen didn’t do anything bad to you, and as a matter of fact, she had even helped you in the past!

“Why did you treat her like this? Were you trying to get on Luke’s good side…or were you trying to make m e feel guilty?”

Joshua snickered when he heard this. “Is that how little you trust me?”

As soon as he said this, he turned around and plopped down on the sofa.

He crossed his legs gracefully, leaned against the sofa lazily, and picked up the report that Dr. Laura had given him from the coffee table. “If you insist on blaming me for Gwen’s failure to escape, then be my guest. As for the reason why I did so…”

He curled his lips into a smirk and shot Luna a cold glance. “You’re right; I was trying to make you feel guilty for your friend’s foiled plans and make you hate me at the same time. Are you satisfied with this answer?”

Luna never thought Joshua would admit the truth so honestly. She shot him a blank stare and said, “Are… you not planning to explain yourself?”

“There’s nothing else to explain, and besides, would you even listen if I did?”

Since she would not listen to his explanation anyway and would insist on blaming him for everything…why should he bother?

It would be easier if he did everything the way she pleased.

Besides, even if the vengeance between their two families disappeared, she would not choose to get back together with him, would she?

Joshua handed Luna the report and said, “You didn’t pick up any of my calls this afternoon. The reason had called you was not to harass you, but I wanted to show you this.”

Luna furrowed her brows and took the report from him.

A split second later, the frown on her face grew even deeper. “Who’s pregnant?”

Joshua pointed at the guest bedroom on the first floor. “Bonnie.”

Luna widened her eyes in shock.

Bonnie… Bonnie was pregnant?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1884

Luna was so thunderstruck to hear this news that her blood ran cold.

After five seconds, she lowered her head to scrutinize the report Joshua handed to her once more.

It was clearly written there that Bonnie was pregnant, and she was about a month along, too.

Luna bit her lip.

A month ago…

Was this not the time when she was recovering from having just given birth?

She remembered very clearly that she could not seem to get in touch with Jim at all during that time.

After that, she heard from elsewhere that Jim’s daughter, Shelly, had run a high fever during that time, and Bonnie had been blaming herself for failing to take care of Shelly properly.

Because of this, Jim had flown over to Banyan City especially to visit her, which finally helped Bonnie overcome her guilt.

This meant that…the baby inside Bonnie’s womb was probably conceived during that time.

Seeing that Luna was no longer fixated on Luke and Gwen, Joshua rubbed his brows in exasperation and said, “I had gone to the hospital today for an appointment, and on my way back, I ran into Bonnie, who was being forced into a taxi by Christopher.

“Initially, I thought they were just being courteous with each other. It was only after Lucas saw Christopher fracturing Bonnie’s finger in the midst of this that we finally realized something was wrong and stopped them.”

Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.

She could not believe her ears.

“Christopher…”

Had Christopher broken Bonnie’s finger just to force her into a taxi?

If she remembered correctly, when she and Joshua were at Tea Cottage just the day before, Christopher had claimed that he was in love with Bonnie and would stop at nothing to give her everything she deserved.

At that time, he had claimed that he would give Bonnie everything that Jim had failed to.

Even though Luna disapproved of Christopher’s decision to suture Bonnie’s wound without administering any local anesthesia, she was still touched by his determination.

When she thought of how cruel Jim had behaved toward Bonnie after losing his memories, Luna could not help thinking that it would not be a bad thing at all if Bonnie ended up with Christopher.

However, to her surprise…

Less than 24 hours after his proclamations of love, Christopher had done something so cruel to Bonnie!

Was this his way of treasuring and cherishing her?

This was an act of heartless possession, treating Bonnie as though she were an item he could call his own!

“Christopher has a family history of paranoid personality disorder.

“I asked Dr. Laura just now, and she said that Christopher’s disorder must’ve been kept under control for many years. However, his love toward Bonnie, as well as the existence of Bonnie’s child, must’ve triggered his paranoid and obsessive tendencies.”

With that, Joshua picked up his cup and took a sip from it. “I am against letting Bonnie return to Tea Cottage. That place is too far away from everything else, and if Christopher were to follow her there and harass her, we’d be too far away to help her.”

Luna nodded when she heard this.

Joshua was right; Tea Cottage was indeed too isolated.

Bonnie was lucky that Joshua and Lucas had bumped into her at the hospital, but what would happen next time?

Not only that, but Bonnie was already injured, so it would not make sense for them to send her back to Tea Cottage to live alone.

“Because of this, I’ve decided to take Bonnie in like I did with Theo.”

Joshua put down his cup and glanced impassively at Luna. “Unfortunately, this house isn’t that big, and apart from the guest bedroom that Theo is currently staying in, the only other room in this house is yours.

“Therefore, I’ve decided to let Bonnie move into your room.”

Luna furrowed her brows when she heard this. “Then what about me?”

Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and glanced at her. “Didn’t you say you wanted to repay your debt of gratitude to me? “Since you’ve already moved your stuff into my room, you can stay with me.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1885

Luna’s breath caught in her throat as soon as Joshua brought up her moving her luggage into his room.

That morning, she never thought that Joshua would treat her so coldly.

When she woke up in his bed that morning, she could not help feeling a little glad, even though she was s o exhausted that she did not even have a single ounce of strength left in her body.

She thought Joshua had been telling the truth when he told her he missed her.

She thought that when he dragged her into bed that night, it was because he could no longer suppress his longingness and lust for her anymore.

Not only that, but when Luna recalled how nice he had been acting toward her lately, as well as his enthusiasm in investigating Colin’s death in order to resolve the vengeance between their two families, she could not help feeling blissful and ended up moving all her luggage into Joshua’s room.

At that time, Luna thought that some things did not need to be said, just like how he had brought her into bed out of longing and how she had moved her stuff into his room out of the same emotions.

However, she never thought that after doing all this, the first thing she heard when she went downstairs was Joshua telling Lucas that he was single and that there was no ‘Mrs. Lynch’ around.

His cold attitude and behavior made Luna think that her moving her belongings into his room felt like an utter joke.

Luna still had yet to figure out how she would sneak into his room to retrieve her belongings, but at this moment, Joshua was suggesting that they move in together.

“What gives you the right to make this decision on my behalf?”

“Well, Theo and Bonnie are both your friends, and staying with me will confer them the best protection they can have. Besides,”

He raised his brows at her. “Didn’t you tell Lucas to pass on the message to me that you will only leave after returning your remaining four favors? Won’t living in the same room as me allow you to repay your debts even quicker?”

There was a teasing lilt in Joshua’s curt tone.

Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists.

She wanted to reject him, but the reasons he had given were indestructible,

He was right; both Theo and Bonnie were her friends.

Theo was the one who had sought out Dr. Liddell to treat her mother, and Bonnie had been abandoned by her brother and was even pregnant with his child.

Because of this, Luna was morally obliged to protect them and provide them shelter in this foreign place.

However…

Luna herself was homeless and did not have much money left under her name, and on top of that, she had even promised Shannon that she would take them in should she and the rest of her friends come to Merchant City.

Even if she still possessed the wealth she used to, Luna was not even sure she could provide her friends the protection they needed.

On top of that…she had indeed promised to repay her debt of gratitude to Joshua when she first sought out his help.

As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and replied, “Alright then. I’ll do as you say.”

With that, she tucked the medical report away and pointed at Theo’s room. “Is Bonnie in there now?”

Joshua murmured in affirmation, then closed his eyes and leaned against the sofa. “Have you decided whether or not you should tell Bonnie about her pregnancy?”

Luna furrowed her brows. She fell silent for a moment, then nodded. “She has a right to know what’s going on inside her body.”

It was up to Bonnie whether to keep the baby or abort it.

Even if this baby would become Luna’s niece or nephew in the future, it still did not give her the right to hide the truth from Bonnie.

Joshua curled his lips when he heard Luna’s reply and repeated her words. “She has a right to know what’s going on inside her body.”

This was probably something that Luke would never be able to understand,

“Bonnie.”

Luna pushed open the door to Theo’s room.

At this moment, Bonnie leaned against Theo’s headboard and watched as he sat on the bay window, drawing.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1886

Inside Theo’s painting, a graceful and scholarly-looking woman stood amid a field of yellow flowers.

Both Theo and Bonnie lifted their heads as soon as Luna walked in.

“You’re back.”

“Yes, I am.” Luna sat on the edge of the bed and glanced at Theo’s drawing. “This woman looks a little familiar.”

Theo let out a somewhat weak chuckle. “Roanne got in touch with me this morning, and she wanted met o paint a picture of her and gift it to her the next time we meet.”

As he said this, he pointed at the painting and asked, “She was dressed in white when we saw her yesterday, so I drew her in the same clothes. Does this painting look like her?”

Luna glanced at the painting, frowning, then shook her head. “No, it doesn’t, it looks more like…”

Like Dr. Rachel.

Of course, Luna did not say this aloud.

“Is that so?” Theo stood up and quickly tidied up his things. “Well, if that’s the case, I’ll go ask Joshua if he has any photos or further information about Roanne so that I can get inspired.

“Please excuse me.”

With that, he turned and left the room.

The door closed behind him.

Bonnie glanced at the unfinished IV drip hanging next to the bed and sighed. “Joshua told me that he has arranged the servants to get a room upstairs ready for me and that as soon as my IV drip runs out, I’ll be able to go upstairs.”

With that, she turned and glanced solemnly at Luna. “How’s Gwen?”

Staring at Bonnie’s pale face, Luna grabbed hold of her uninjured hand and replied, “She didn’t manage to escape and was captured by Luke.”

She let out a sigh and fixated her gaze on Bonnie’s face. “Does it…still hurt?”

As soon as she heard this, Bonnie lowered her head and could not stop the tears from falling anymore. She glanced at her tightly-wrapped finger and said in a choked, nasally voice, “Actually, it doesn’t hurt that much anymore.

“This is nothing compared to the emotional pain I’m going through.”

Bonnie lifted her head and fixed her tear-rimmed eyes on Luna’s face. “When Christopher brought me to the hospital this morning…we ran into Jim.”

She sniffed as tears soundlessly slid down her cheek. “His arm was around Charlotte, and he didn’t even give me a second glance.

“After that, Christopher went to the pharmacy to retrieve my medications and let me wait in the garden. A creep snuck up on me and tried to take advantage of me, so I chased him away by telling him I was pregnant.

“Do you know what Jim said to me as soon as that creep ran off?”

Bonnie wiped the tears from her face and said in a choked voice, “He called me a slut for sleeping around

with other men even while pregnant.”

She lifted her head to stare at Luna. “Do you think that I’m the person that matters the least in this world t

Jim?

“How could he still remember many other things after losing his memory but can’t recall even a single detail about me?

“If I matter so little to him…I think there’s no reason for me to continue staying in Merchant City anymore. Since he likes Charlotte so much, I should grant them a lifetime of happiness together.

“…I have no right to compete with her for Jim.”

Luna bit her lip and gripped Bonnie’s wrist tightly when she saw the despair in her eyes. “If you have no right to compete with her, no one else has.” She handed Bonnie the medical report. “You’re pregnant.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1887

The entire room fell silent.

Bonnie stared blankly at Luna’s face, her entire body frozen in shock.

A split second later, her face twitched, and she curled her lips into a bitter smile. “How is that even possible…”

How could she have gotten pregnant?

When she had gotten a checkup at the hospital, the doctor had told her that because of some complications while giving birth six years ago, she had lost most of her reproductive ability and only had less than a ten-percent chance of getting pregnant naturally.

Because of this low probability, Bonnie had assumed that she was infertile.

Because of this, she was extremely fond of Jim’s two children and treated them like her own.

She thought that Jim must have loved kids, considering he had two even before getting married.

Ironically, she became infertile.

Despite this, she still naively thought that as long as she treated Jim’s children well enough, it would make up for the fact that she could not bear him a child of their own.

Therefore, she did not believe a word that Luna had said about her being pregnant.

Seeing the puzzled look in Bonnie’s eyes, Luna frowned and handed her the report that Dr. Laura had written. “Look at this yourself.”

Bonnie took the paper from her but did not even bother glancing at it. “The doctor must’ve made a mistake.”

She let out a self-deprecating chuckle. “How can I possibly get pregnant so easily?”

When she ran into Jim at the hospital that morning, Jim had even taunted her for seducing other men even while pregnant.

If she was really pregnant, would Jim think that his words had come true?

Luna let out a sigh when she heard this. She grabbed hold of Bonnie’s hand and said, “Dr. Laura says that you’re about a month along now.

“Try to think back to a month ago. Were you and Jim…”

Bonnie furrowed her brows and tried to recall the last time she and Jim were together in Banyan City.

All of a sudden, she was reminded of something and quickly took out her handbag.

Inside her handbag was a small notebook and a tiny red gift box.

Bonnie opened the notebook with her uninjured hand.

The notebook clearly displayed details of her health condition, including the date of her last menstrual period and the dates of the nights she had spent with Jim.

After confirming that her period had been more than two weeks late, Bonnie opened the gift box with shaking hands.

To Luna’s surprise, the box contained…a pregnancy test kit.

Bonnie curled her lips into a small smile when she saw Luna’s surprised expression. “Jim gave this to me the last time we met.”

A bitter smile spread across her face as she stared at the pregnancy kit.

Jim still had no idea that she was infertile.

The last time he had flown to Banyan City to see her, he had bought this pregnancy kit as a gift for her.

The two of them spent a whole night together, and the morning after, Jim had kissed her earlobe gently with his arms wrapped around her slender body. His low, melodic voice rang out next to her ear as he said, “Bonnie, we never used protection every time we slept together, so I think this will be useful for you.

“If we have a child of our own, we can have three kids, like Joshua and Luna.”

When Bonnie took the pregnancy kit from him, her heart was filled with bittersweet emotions,

It was difficult for her to tell him the truth.

She wanted to find the right time to tell him that, in fact, she could not get pregnant

However, she could not seem to find the right time and place to do so, and she was also secretly worried that their relationship would turn sour as soon as Jim knew the truth.

Despite these concerns, Bonnie still brought this pregnancy kit with her everywhere she went, and there were even plenty of medications and supplements inside her bag.

She often thought, What if?’

What if one day, she really got pregnant with Jim’s child? If that happened, her infertility would not be an issue anymore.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1888

Bonnie never thought that after her relationship with Jim turned sour, she would receive the news of her being pregnant

It seemed that fate had toyed with her yet again,

Luna bit her lip as she stared at the pregnancy test kit in Bonnie’s hand. “Did Jim…give you this because h e wanted you to get pregnant?”

Luna’s voice finally pulled Bonnie back to reality.

She nodded solemnly and let out a bitter smile. “Yes, but it seems that this child didn’t arrive at the right time.”

Luna bit her lip and gripped Bonnie’s hand tightly. “Maybe this child will become the key to you and Jim’s reconciliation.”

She stared earnestly at Bonnie and continued, “Even though I’m Jim’s sister, I still think this decision should be up to you.

“If you want to keep this child, we’ll keep it, and even if Jim doesn’t treat you well in the future, I’ll help look after you

“One day, he’ll regain his lost memories of you.

“If…”

The glimmer in Luna’s eyes disappeared as she said, “Even if you don’t want to keep this child, I support your decision nevertheless. After your abortion, both me and Theo will take good care of you.”

She fixed her penetrating stare on Bonnie’s face. “Don’t feel pressured by this.”

Bonnie bit her lip when faced with Luna’s earnest expression. She wanted to say something, but she could not find the words to do so..

There was nothing else she could do apart from leaping into Luna’s arms and sobbing with her head on Luna’s shoulder.

No matter how cheerful she usually was, Bonnie was still a sensitive, sentimental person.

Even at a time like this, she was still crying silently so as not to make too much noise.

Despite this, Luna could still understand the despair in her heart based on the tear stains on her shirt and Bonnie’s sniffling.

This child did not arrive at the right time.

“Luna, I want to keep this baby.” After Bonnie stopped crying, she let out an exhale and said with much determination and courage, “I want to give birth to this baby and raise it as my own.”

This was not for Jim’s sake, but most importantly, this was for herself.

She had already lost a child six years ago, and since then, she never thought she would get pregnant again.

God had gifted her this baby this time, and she would love it with all her heart, even if it had not arrived at the right time.

Bonnie was willing to believe that this was God’s way of compensating her for the misery she had gone through

Not only that, but this was a reminder to her that there was still another child out there for her to find.

Seeing the determined look in Bonnie’s eyes, Luna nodded. Just as she was about to say something to comfort her, Luna’s phone rang.

She took out her phone and glanced at it.

It was Charlotte.

Luna frowned and suddenly recalled that she had promised Charlotte that she would go to Landry Mansion in the afternoon to sign a contract with Jim.

Luna let out an exhale, and just as she was about to go out into the hallway to take this phone call, she suddenly recalled that Joshua was in the living room,

She did not want him to overhear her conversation with Charlotte because she did not want to let him know that Jim and Charlotte were taking advantage of her again.

After contemplating for a moment, Luna picked up the call in the room.

“Luna” Charlotte’s voice sounded impassive as she said, “Don’t forget our appointment at 2 p.m.

“I’ll allow you to bring your camera to Landry Mansion to commemorate your last day as CEO of Landry Group and record down the memories of the fortune that once belonged to you.”

Luna furrowed her brows and hung up the phone without even bothering to answer.

“Are you going to Landry Mansion in the afternoon?” Bonnie pursed her lips and shot Luna a meaningful glance. “I want to come with you.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1889

“But from the way you look now…” Luna could not help frowning as she glanced at Bonnie’s fully-bandaged finger. “I think you’d better stay home and rest.”

Bonnie had yet to recover from her abdomen injury, and she had even suffered a fracture in her finger.

Judging from the severity of her wounds, Bonnie should indeed stay home and rest.

Bonnie, however, shook her head. “I’m fine. Dr. Laura gave me some medicine before she left, so I’m feeling much better now.”

With that, she pointed at the empty IV drip hanging above her head and offered her hand to Luna. “Since this kid belongs to Jim… I want to give it one last try, for the baby’s sake.”

She watched Luna as she removed the cannula from her hand and smiled weakly. “Maybe I can give the child a proper home.”

Luna furrowed her brows. “But…”

Bonnie herself had said that Jim’s attitude toward her had been poor ever since their encounter at the hospital that morning.

Therefore, even if Bonnie had followed her to Landry Mansion that afternoon, it would not change Jim’s attitude toward her at all.

Despite Luna thinking this, however, she could not help letting out a sigh when faced with Bonnie’s hopeful gaze. “Alright then, but you have to promise me that no matter what happens, you can’t get into any conflict with Charlotte there, Bonnie. You’re not allowed to get too close to Jim.

“You have to stay with me and not step out of my sight whatsoever.”

Bonnie pursed her lips and agreed to Luna’s terms.

Finally, she let out a bitter smile and glanced at Luna. “You’re like a nagging mother.”

Luna rolled her eyes. “It’s all because of you guys.”

Luna had already felt guilty over what happened with Gwen that morning, so she could not possibly allow anything to go wrong with Bonnie.

By the time the two women finished discussing their visit to Landry Mansion, it was already

noon.

A short while later, Lucas knocked on their door. “Ma’am, Ms. Craig, it’s time for lunch.”

Luna frowned and replied as she helped Bonnie out of bed, “Please call me Ms. Luna.

“Your memory has been getting worse lately, Lucas. You’ve clearly forgotten that there’s no Mrs. Lynch in this house.”

Both Lucas and Joshua, who were sitting at the dining table, froze when they heard this.

A split second later, Lucas let out an awkward smile as he walked over to help Luna. “It’s just a title, so please don’t take it to heart.”

Luna glanced coldly at the man sitting at the table.

He was as tall and slender as always, and his presence emanated an aura of arrogance and haughtiness.

Luna sneered. “I’m not the one taking it to heart; it’s your beloved Mr. Lynch.

“Mr. Lynch has already made it clear that he’s single now, and there’s no Mrs. Lynch around, s o you should get your titles straight. Otherwise, this mistake might cost your master a chance t o find a new wife, and are you prepared to take responsibility for this?”

Thud!

As soon as Luna finished his sentence, Joshua slammed his cutlery forcefully against the table.

The cold metal let out a deafening clatter as it hit the hard marble tabletop.

Theo, who was sitting across from Joshua, furrowed his brows and glanced at him, signaling him to keep his temper in control. “Joshua, let’s eat.” Joshua glanced coldly in Luna’s direction, then at Theo.

“You eat; I’m done with my food.”

With that, Joshua stood up and left.

As he brushed past Luna, Joshua’s shoulder bumped forcefully against Luna’s and almost forced her onto the ground.

However, he did not even turn around and instead stomped upstairs as though he could not feel this.

Luna remained motionless, glaring at Joshua’s retreating figure as she clutched her aching shoulder.

What was he mad about? Had he not said these exact words to Lucas that morning?

“Why did you talk to him like that?” Theo shot Luna a helpless glance, then looked at the food on the table, which Joshua had barely even touched. “He had lost his appetite this morning because of his fight with you, and now he’s refusing to eat…

“If this goes on any longer, his body won’t be able to take it.”

Luna pursed her lips slightly and, after helping Bonnie settle down, plopped down into her own seat. “I hadn’t even done anything to irk him, yet he got on my nerves this morning and even blamed me for it!”

The more she thought about it, the angrier Luna got. She could not believe how outrageous this man was behaving!

He was the one who had lost his temper for no reason and even ratted on Gwen.

How dare this man even have the audacity to strike out and throw a tantrum by refusing to eat?

As soon as she thought of this, Luna picked up her fork and stabbed it into her meatloaf.” Well, since he doesn’t want to eat, I assume it’s because he’s not hungry! So be it that his body gives up on him; what does it have to do with me?”

Joshua, who was standing at the second-floor railing, narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

He glanced at Luna with a dark expression before finally turning and going into his room.

Theo had already noticed that Joshua was lurking at the second-floor railing, which was why h e had deliberately told Luna about Joshua skipping his meals.

However, to his surprise, Luna’s answer was not one of sympathy but of spite.

Glancing at Joshua’s retreating figure, Theo let out a sigh and continued eating his food.

Watching this exchange, Bonnie finally could not help putting some food into an empty plate.

“Luna, you should bring this up to Joshua later after our meal.”

Luna rolled her eyes. “I don’t want to.”

She did not do anything wrong, so why was she the one supposed to coax Joshua?

Everything she had said had come out of his own mouth that morning. Since he could say such hurtful words, why was she not allowed to use them against him?

What kind of rule was this?

Bonnie shot Luna a helpless look, then glanced at Theo.

It was not easy having to deal with arguing couples.

As soon as he met Bonnie’s helpless gaze, Theo furrowed his brows and suddenly remembered something

He lifted his head to stare earnestly at Bonnie. “Just now, Luna said that Joshua had lost his temper for no reason, but that wasn’t the case at all.

“I had asked Joshua about this just now, and he told me that he had stumbled upon you and Luna’s messages when he was trying to do something on Luna’s phone…

“What did you say to her last night?”

Both Bonnie and Luna froze when they heard this.

A split second later, Bonnie smacked her forehead in sudden realization.

“Last night… I asked Luna if she would rekindle her relationship with Joshua…after the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families ceased to exist.”

She still remembered that when she sent this message, Luna had replied no.

After that, she had tried to ask Luna for her reason, but Luna did not respond until an hour later.

At that time, Bonnie had even complained to Christopher about Luna’s slow response and that she must have fallen asleep halfway through their conversation.

As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie turned to stare blankly at Luna. “Could Joshua have… seen the message that you sent about not wanting to get back together with him, even if your vengeances were dissolved?”
