Ch. 2071..2080
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2071
Todd had been living a good life in Merchant City, but his biggest secret was that he had helped Sirius kill Colin Landry in the past.
Todd was terrified of someone else finding out about this. After all, the Landry family had become more powerful and influential over the years, and if his past crimes were exposed, he would never be able to survive in Merchant City anymore.
Therefore, Joshua was confident that Charlotte and Sirius must have known each other. Otherwise, Todd would not have risked being exposed to help Charlotte kill Heather.
At least, Charlotte must have some information about what Todd had done for Sirius in the past, and she must have used this to threaten him. This was why Todd had been forced to help her kill Heather at such an absurdly low price.
Charlotte’s denial had indirectly confirmed Joshua’s guesses.
According to Charlotte’s personality, if she truly did not know who Sirius was, she would still have dragged this man down with her by claiming that he had helped her commit most of her crimes.
That way, it would inadvertently reduce her involvement in all this and make her seem as though she was not as bad as they had thought.
However, she did not do this. Instead, she denied Sirius’involvement in all her crimes, making it seem like she was the sole mastermind in all this.
This was unusual.
Charlotte narrowed her eyes when she saw how confident Joshua was.
A split second later, she sneered and said, “Joshua, you must be investigating the truth about Lucy Hamilton and Colin Landry’s deaths, aren’t you?
“If you can’t find out who Sirius is, you won’t be able to get to the bottom of what truly happened, and therefore, you’ll never be able to resolve the vengeance between the Lynch and Landry families, but…”
Charlotte lifted her head to stare at Joshua coldly. “If you want to find Sirius, I’m afraid you have to do this on your own.
“I won’t become your secret weapon, nor will I give you any clues on who or where he is.
“Didn’t you say you wanted to send me to prison? Didn’t you say you wanted the justice system to determine my punishment? Well, do it!
“I don’t want to waste more time talking to you here!”
With that, she struggled to release herself from the two guards holding her down and even shot them a murderous glare. “Come on!”
The two guards never thought that this woman, who just a few minutes ago had been crying for Joshua to let her go, would suddenly become so obedient and even demand them to take her away.
The two of them turned to shoot Joshua a somewhat helpless look.
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly and lifted his hand to rub his brows. “Take her away.
Charlotte had been trying desperately to persuade them to let her go, but as soon as he brought up Sirius, she suddenly changed her mind and wanted to be sent to prison instead.
Because of this, Joshua knew that he would not be able to get further information from Charlotte anymore.
With Joshua’s orders, the two bodyguards turned and brought Charlotte out of the room.
Luna remained motionless and watched as Charlotte got hauled away.
This time, Charlotte remained silent and did not even make a move to escape. Instead, she strode out of the room so quickly that she dragged the guards behind her.
Clearly, she wanted nothing more than to get out of here.
Luna furrowed her brows and turned to stare at Joshua. “It seems like she does know who Sirius is.”
Joshua nodded and pulled her close to him. “Don’t worry. Even without Charlotte, we’ll be able to find this man.”
The two of them fell silent for a long time in each other’s arms.
Finally, Luna opened her mouth to speak. “Let’s go home.”
Joshua nodded and was about to lead Luna away when his phone rang. “Charlotte has been kidnapped…by the Quinn family!”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2072
This sudden news made Joshua frown.
Luna immediately bit her lip when she heard this. “Has Charlotte been involved with the Quinn family all this while?”
“Yes.” Joshua narrowed his eyes, grabbed Luna’s hand, and said in a cold, emotionless tone, “She has been in touch with Quentin all this while.”
If it were not for Quentin’s help, Charlotte would not have been able to cause a traffic jam in the middle of the city to prevent Bonnie from reaching the DNA Diagnostic Center.
“Quentin?” Luna fell silent for a moment and suddenly recalled the surveillance footage she had seen at Dr. Liddell’s research facility in Lincoln City.
She would never be able to forget the face of the man named Quentin.
She would never be able to forget the fact that…this man had visited Rosalyn in the lab under the pretense of being her brother.
As soon as he left, Rosalyn’s condition had deteriorated greatly, so much so that she almost lost the will to survive.
If Jim had not successfully delivered Charles to Lincoln City the next day…
Luna could not imagine what would have happened then.
Maybe at this moment, Rosalyn would have been buried several feet underneath the ground.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna furrowed her brows and asked, “Since Charlotte has been in touch with Quentin all this while, could she have been part of what happened in Lincoln City, when Quentin went to visit my mother?”
Luna’s words had reminded Joshua of this possibility that he had never thought of before.
He fell silent for a moment and finally replied, “It’s possible.”
With that, he strode away, bringing Luna with him, back toward the car.
Luna could not help frowning as she watched Joshua open the car door for her like the gentleman he was.
For some reason, she could not help feeling that… Joshua did not seem at all bothered by Charlotte being abducted from beneath their nose.
This did not seem right.
After all, Joshua had planned this for a long time, down to every last detail, including how he had persuaded Roanne to betray Charlotte and lead to her downfall.
It had been Joshua’s idea to bring Theo along with them as they waited for Roanne outside Landry Mansion.
He had used Theo as a lure to rope Roanne into all this and had successfully exposed Charlotte’s true colors to Jim.
He had spent a lot of time and effort perfecting this plan, but at the last moment, he did not seem troubled by the fact that Charlotte had been kidnapped.
Not only that, but Luna could tell that he was a little relieved by this.
It was as though he had hoped Charlotte would be taken away.
What was going on in this man’s mind?
On their way home, Luna could not help sneaking glances at Joshua from the backseat.
He seemed to be in a good mood.
Occasionally, he would play with his phone and sometimes stare out the window with a small smile.
Luna could not understand this.
When the car finally came to a halt, she could not stop herself from calling out after Joshua as he opened the door, “Joshua.”
Her brows were knitted in a frown. “Why aren’t you at all bothered by Charlotte’s kidnapping?”
She did not even hear him send anyone to follow or find her.
How could he let the Quinn family take Charlotte away just like that without even attempting to track her down?
Joshua raised his brows upon hearing this.
A split second later, he smiled and replied, “Well, I guess that’s one way to put it.”
Luna’s face was etched with confusion. “But why?”
“Because if no one came to rescue her, this would mean that she had planned all this herself and that she had no accomplice.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2073
“But…”
Joshua’s gaze turned dark as he stared at a distance. “If someone were to abduct her, this means that she has an accomplice.”
Then, he turned to glance at Luna. “Do you remember what I asked Charlotte just now at the orphanage?”
Luna furrowed her brows and contemplated this for a moment. “You asked her if she knows someone named Sirius.”
Joshua smiled when he heard this.
He reached out to gently stroke Luna’s hair and replied tenderly, “You have a good memory.
“The reason I asked her if she knew him was not that I didn’t have that information, but instead, I had already guessed it myself and was just giving her a chance to come clean with the truth.
“The fact that she refused to tell the truth means that she treasured this person so much that she was willing to go to jail than expose Sirius’s true identity.
“And now that she has been kidnapped…”
Joshua curled his lips into a faint, cold smile. “Even though Charlotte being abducted won’t tell us who Sirius is nor will it prove that they know each other, at least it lets us know that someone in Merchant City still cares about her.
“Not only that, but there’s a high probability that this person is Sirius, or at least someone related to him.”
Luna fell silent upon hearing this.
She considered this for a long time before finally understanding the logic of this sequence of
events.
A split second later, she smacked her forehead in realization and exclaimed at the top of her lungs, “Are you thinking that the Quinn family is related to Sirius?”
According to the evidence they had, they could safely conclude that Charlotte and Sirius had been working together all along.
Otherwise, how would a woman in her early twenties, who had grown up an orphan, be able to obtain evidence of Todd killing Colin Landry in the past and even use this to threaten him?
This meant that it was likely that Sirius had been looking out for Charlotte all this while.
Charlotte was taken away right under their noses, and the person who kidnapped her could
very well be Sirius. Regardless, the people who took her away were the Quinn family.
This pointed toward one possibility: Sirius was probably involved with the Quinn family.
However, Luna had been rescued by Malcolm ever since her accident six years ago.
She had been close with the Quinn family in the next six years of her recovery and subsequent childbirth, so much so that at one point, she had almost become their daughter-in-law.
However, she had never even heard of the name ‘Sirius’ before, much less met him in real life.
On the other hand, she was more than familiar with the name Quentin since she had heard Granny Quinn bring up this adopted son of hers many times.
According to what Luna had heard, Quentin had been forced to leave Merchant City after committing an unforgivable mistake years ago. It was only after both Malcolm and Hunter had gotten in trouble that he was allowed to return.
“Don’t you think that Quentin and Charlotte’s returns seem a little coincidental?” Joshua hinted.
A lightbulb went off in Luna’s head.
Joshua was right! Charlotte and Quentin had returned to Merchant City at almost the same time!
With the two of them found to be involved, it would mean that…
· Luna lifted her head to stare dazedly at Joshua. “If Quentin and Sirius are, in fact, the same
person, everything would make sense.”
However…
They knew for a fact that Quentin and Sirius were two different people, not because of their names, but because… Quentin and Sirius had appeared together in the past…
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2074
When Joshua and Luna returned, Bonnie was trying to get Shelly to sleep.
When she saw them return, she immediately approached them and asked, “What happened?!
Luna let out a sigh and explained everything that had happened to Bonnie.
Bonnie could not help lamenting as she leaned against the sofa, still carrying Shelly in her arms, “I hope Roanne will be alright…”
Even though Roanne had been helping Charlotte do plenty of bad things all these years, she still did not deserve to die.
Luna pursed her lips when she heard this but did not reply.
All of a sudden, Joshua’s phone rang.
A glimmer of delight flashed through his eyes when he saw the number on the screen.
Luna could feel the excitement wafting off his entire being, so she, too, glanced at the screen.
It was a number without a caller ID.
Luna did not recognize the number, so could not tell who it was.
Joshua smiled at her and said, “Excuse me. I need to get this.”
With that, he strode out into the back garden.
Bonnie glanced at Joshua, who was talking on his phone, through the glass window, then turned to look at Luna. “Why does he have to take this call in private?”
Not only that, but from the look on Joshua’s face…
Bonnie could swear that this was the first time she had ever seen Joshua look that way in so many years of knowing him.
However, the most alarming thing was that as he left the room, she could vaguely hear that the person on the other end of the line was a woman.
· Bonnie could not help frowning when she thought of this.
Surely, it could not be?
After what Luna and Joshua had gone through, surely Joshua would not cheat on her with a strange woman?
“Maybe it’s something work-related.” Luna did not seem bothered by this.
She glanced at the man in the garden, but her gaze did not linger. Instead, her gaze fell on the baby in Bonnie’s arms. “She looks a lot like Nellie did when she was a baby.”
Bonnie curled her lips into a smile. “Maybe it’s because they’re cousins.”
All of a sudden, Bonnie recalled the DNA report about Shelly that she had seen.
Shelly…was not Jim’s daughter either.
If so, who was she?
Just as Luna and Bonnie continued chatting about other things, the door to the house swung open.
The person who entered the door was none other than Laura, the family doctor.
Since June had fallen sick the day before, Lucas had summoned Laura back to the house to check on her.
She did not know who June was, and when she saw how much Nigel and Harvey cared for her, she automatically assumed that June was Luna and Joshua’s daughter.
Therefore, she deliberately prescribed a bitter-tasting medicine for June and even rushed here as soon as she knew it was time for the next checkup.
So what if Joshua and Luna had children together?
She still had a chance to steal Joshua from Luna.
Besides, Joshua and Luna’s relationship was not as strong as they thought at all.
Otherwise, they would not have fallen into that misunderstanding before.
As soon as she thought of this, Laura knocked on the door and strode into the house. “Mr. Lynch…”
However, not only was Joshua not there, but she caught sight of Luna and Bonnie chatting in the living room.
The smile froze on her face.
A split second later, Laura smiled and greeted the two women, “Hello, Ms. Luna, Ms. Craig.”
Then, she strode over to Bonnie’s side with her doctor’s bag and sat down next to her. “How are you feeling now? you still look a little ill; do you need me to give you some more medicine?
Bonnie curled her lips into a smile upon hearing this. “There’s no need.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2075
She knew exactly why she looked ill.
The night before, when Jim and Sean got into their fight, Bonnie had almost suffered a miscarriage from Jim’s punch.
Bonnie could not help recalling what the doctor had said to her at the hospital. “Ms. Craig, it’s a miracle that your child is even still alive…
“Even though you showed signs of a miscarriage, thankfully, the child managed to survive.
“Of course, you have to be more careful in the future.”
At that time, Bonnie had burst into tears. She was crying for her ill fate, as well as the strong will of the child inside her belly.
Despite that, she did not feel like having Laura look after her at all.
To put it simply, she did not trust Laura.
.
She did not trust anyone apart from her obstetrician.
It was already a miracle that the child managed to survive up to this point, but she was worried that if Jim found out about the baby’s survival somehow…
He would try to get rid of it or claim it for himself.
After all, since he had already split up with Charlotte, there was no telling what he would do to the child inside Bonnie’s belly.
As soon as she thought of this, Bonnie stood up and said, “I’ll bring Shelly upstairs now.”
Then, she turned and left the room.
Luna and Laura were the only two people left in the living room.
Luna’s first impression of Laura had not been a good one, so she glanced at a nearby servant and ordered, “Go check if June is awake yet.”
She knew that June had been up all night crying because of her cold.
Therefore, she was probably still sleeping.
The servant nodded and disappeared up the stairs.
Luna turned to smile at Laura. “Please wait, Dr. Suess. June will probably be down in a moment.
Then, she stood up and added, “If there’s nothing else I can help you with, please excuse me.”
She did not feel like entertaining Laura at all.
Laura could not help smirking when she heard this. She lifted her head to shoot Luna an impassive glance and said, “Why are you so eager to leave, Ms. Luna? Are you scared of me?”
Luna, who had just taken two steps, paused when she heard this. She furrowed her brows and turned to shoot Laura à cold glance. “Me? Scared of you?”
Laura curled her lips into a smile when met with Luna’s hostile gaze. “Well, aren’t you? Aren’t you eager to leave because you’re afraid of me and don’t want to interact with me?
“Let me think: Why are you so unwilling to interact with me, Ms. Luna?”
The smile on her face grew wider as she continued, “Maybe it’s because I’ve been an intelligent, outstanding student since young and even graduated from the best medical school in the world, whereas you, Ms. Luna, are nothing but a parasite who feeds on Joshua’s wealth.
“Therefore, you can’t help feeling ashamed next to me.”
Luna furrowed her brows.
She had no idea that this doctor had such a formidable educational background.
The best medical school in the world…
This was probably why Lucas had insisted on Joshua employing her as the family doctor.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna smiled and said, “Why would I be ashamed? You’re overestimating yourself, Dr. Suess.
“You’re not as good as you think you are, and I’m not as useless as you think I am.”
Laura, too, curled her lips into a smile when faced with Luna’s contemptuous smirk. “Well, since that’s what you believe, are you willing to compete with me fair and square, Ms. Luna?”
As soon as she finished her sentence, a cold male voice rang out from the door, “What do you want to compete with her for?”.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2076
Luna and Laura both stilled when they heard Joshua’s voice.
The color had drained from Laura’s face. She pursed her lips slightly and glanced first at Joshua, then at Luna. “I… I said that I wanted to compete with Ms. Luna…for…”
“Compete for my affection?” Joshua strode into the room, sneering, and reached Luna’s side. Then, he reached out and pulled her to his form. “Dr. Suess, Lucas was the one who persuaded me to employ you as the family doctor.
“Initially, I had wanted to find a male doctor, but since Lucas has worked for me for so many years now, I trust his instincts, so I didn’t object when he recommended you.
“From the moment you stepped into my house, I knew you weren’t content with our relationship as employer and family doctor, and because of this, I had deliberately been keeping my distance from you.”
He curled his lips into a smirk and glanced coldly at Laura. “I just never thought that you’d one day have the audacity to even challenge my wife so brazenly.”
He lowered his head to shoot Luna a tender glance and added, “Please don’t take notice of her.
Joshua’s attitude was clear.
Laura remained motionless and stared intently at Joshua, her fists clenched next to her. “Mr. Lynch, I don’t understand; what is it about Luna that makes you so attracted to her?
“She’s utterly useless! Have you forgotten her failure in running the company as soon as she took over as Landry Group CEO? As the daughter of the Landry family, she had not even been capable of running the family business, so what is it that you see in her?
“Do you love her because she’s a failure and has no achievements whatsoever?”
As she said this, Laura could not help snickering. “What a sad, sad life. A woman shouldn’t be like this, sitting at home all day with nothing to show. This is why I spent all my life working hard and building my career
“After so many years of hard work, I finally achieved my dreams of becoming a doctor and finally met the man of my dreams, but what happened?
“I can’t believe that someone as successful as you, Mr. Lynch, will still fall for a woman like Luna, who has nothing but her looks to show!
“The fact that you love her so much despite her failure makes it even more saddening!”
Laura poured out all her opinions of Luna in a single breath without even a hint of courtesy toward Luna.
Luna narrowed her eyes. She smiled, removed herself from Joshua’s arms, and shot Laura a | cold glance. “Dr. Suess, do you think you’re a successful woman while I’m nothing but a
failure?”
Laura sneered. “That’s not just what I think; it’s a fact.”
What had Luna achieved in Merchant City?
Nothing
A year ago, she was Malcolm Quinn’s fiancée, and Joshua had crashed their engagement party to win her back
After that, she became the heiress of the Landry family and led a life full of wealth and prosperity.
Every time Laura saw news of Luna, she could not stop herself from gossiping to the people around her, “What does this woman have apart from a pretty face?
“Why on earth are Mr. Malcolm Quinn and Mr. Joshua Lynch willing to fight over her? She’s just a useless bimbo, and one day, as she ages, she’ll lose her looks — the only thing she’s got going for her.”
Laura would constantly use this as a means not only to talk bad about Luna but advise herself not to become like her..
The reason no man ever pursued her was that she never spent as much time on her looks as these bimbos did!
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2077
Laura, on the other hand, was a successful woman.
She thought that the higher she climbed the career ladder, the more men would notice her.
However, when she met Joshua, she discovered that this was not the case at all.
No matter how outstanding her performance was, Joshua had never given her even a second glance.
Not only Joshua, but his friend, Jim, and even the artist Theo; none of them even expressed interest in her before.
Laura could not help doubting herself and hating this unfair world.
Why was it that successful women did not deserve to be fancied? Why, on the other hand, were beautiful women with no brains like Luna and Bonnie so popular among men?
“Dr. Suess.” Luna smiled and fixated her gaze on Laura. “I know you must be angry at the world for being so unfair, and you’re frustrated because you don’t think you received anything in return for your hard work. Am I right?”
An elegant smile crept across Luna’s face as she continued, “Well, there’s one thing I’d like you to know, Ms. Laura Suess…
“Before becoming Joshua’s wife, I worked as a jewelry designer with the moniker ‘Moon.’
“Maybe you’re unsure of Moon’s net worth in the jewelry world, but if you don’t believe me, feel free to look it up when you get home.
“I had chosen to give up on my career in jewelry design to take care of me and Joshua’s children. You think you’re a successful, strong woman, but what I want to tell you is that I’m not as useless as you think I am.
“Not only that, but my name in the jewelry design world may even be more famous than your reputation in the medical community.”
The color drained from Laura’s face. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth in anger.” That’s impossible!”
How could a useless bimbo like Luna be worth even more in the jewelry design industry than she was in the medical field?
After all, she had spent years and years building the knowledge and expertise that made her the titan of the industry that she was to date!
How could a parasite like Luna possibly be the same as her?
“Don’t blame other people for the things that don’t go the way you want. Just because Luna is
prettier than you doesn’t mean she doesn’t work as hard as you do.” Joshua sneered and pulled Luna into his arms. “Dr. Suess, you’ve been dismissed from this household.”
Laura narrowed her eyes upon hearing this. She bit her lip and glared at Joshua and Luna.” You’re lying! That can’t possibly be true!”
Strong, independent women like her were not the same as the kind of women Luna was!
Luna was just saying this to defend her dignity!
Maybe her so-called reputation had been bought out by Joshua to jump-start her career!
Yes, that had to be it!
As soon as she thought of this, the look on Laura’s face was replaced with a contemptuous one. “Luna, if you really have it in you, I dare you not to hide behind your man anymore.
“You claim to have a reputation in the jewelry design world, so I dare you to make a design sketch for the whole of Merchant City to see!
“I bet you won’t do it because you’re useless! A good-for-nothing bimbo!”
Luna rolled her eyes and suddenly did not feel like entertaining this crazy woman anymore.” Why do I have to prove anything to you?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2078
Laura’s face broke out into a triumphant grin at Luna’s question. “Are you scared, Luna? It’s true; you’re not obliged to prove anything to me. What difference does it make, anyway? Whether you prove it or not, you’re still a useless bimbo who relies on men to live her life.
“The only thing that makes you better than me is your pretty face.”
With that, she yawned and lifted her head to glance at Joshua.”Even though today will be my last day of work, I still have to go upstairs to check on June.”
She remembered, despite everything, that she came as a doctor first.
As soon as she finished her sentence, she turned and went up the stairs.
However, after taking just a few steps, Laura paused and added, “I thought you’d at least have some guts to stop me and prove me wrong, Luna, but I guess I overestimated you.”
Then, she continued up the stairs.
Luna remained motionless and curled her lips into a smirk as she watched Laura leave. “Your reverse psychology doesn’t work on me.”
She crossed her arms in front of her chest and said, “If my guesses are correct, you must have a recording device in your pocket right now, don’t you, Dr. Suess?”
Laura froze in her steps upon hearing this.
She furrowed her brows but did not reply.
Joshua chuckled and pinched Luna’s nose playfully. “It seems you’ve gotten smart.”
Laura had been complimenting and praising herself since the start, claiming that no one had shown any interest in her despite her success.
On the one hand, she kept trying to provoke Luna into accepting her challenge, while she sculpted herself into the image of a woman born with nothing who, by sheer effort and hard work, managed to change her fate.
If Luna really took the bait and accepted Laura’s challenge, she would have gone home and edited the recording before sending it out to all the major media outlets in the city.
If that happened, Luna would become the talk of the town, and everyone in Merchant City would be poised on watching her, waiting for her to mess up.
Laura, should that whole fiasco have gone down, would become a strong, determined character who was willing to put in the hard work and stand up against power in the public’s eye.
This was what her true intentions were.
Laura could not fight the intimidated feeling she had when Joshua and Luna exposed her true intentions.
Her body trembled slightly, but she did not say anything and instead disappeared up the stairs.
When Laura’s figure finally disappeared from view, Luna turned to glance at Joshua. “Was I very stupid in the past?” Joshua smiled in amusement. “At least you weren’t as calm and level – headed as you are now when faced with traps like this.”
Luna pursed her lips and was about to say something in reply when Joshua’s phone rang.
It was the same unnamed number as before.
Joshua excused himself apologetically and left the room.
Standing in the living room, Luna could clearly see the smile on Joshua’s face as he took the call.
She furrowed her brows slightly.
If she remembered correctly, Joshua had looked just as delighted as he was when he took the first call.
Not only that, but the person on the other end of the line was a woman.
–
Even after scouring through her memories of all of Joshua’s female friends, Luna still could not figure out who the person on the phone was.
Could it be that…
Luna shook her head, trying to chase the unrealistic thought out of her mind.
It could not be. After having gone through so much, she knew that Joshua could not possibly be cheating on her.
If he were that unfaithful, he would not have followed her all the way to Merchant City a year ago to win her back.
Besides…
Just a few minutes ago, he had put his arm around her and allowed her to declare her ownership in front of Laura.
How could he possibly be seeing another woman behind her back? Nonetheless…
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2079
Luna could not understand why Joshua had to hide from her while taking his call.
They had been husband and wife for so many years; what did he have to hide from her?
After God knew how long, Joshua returned.
He strode over to Luna and said, “Go upstairs and get changed and do your makeup; I’m going to bring you to the hospital.”
Luna immediately furrowed her brows upon hearing this. “Get changed and do my makeup…to go to the hospital?”
Why did she have to dress up?
Why were they headed to the hospital?
Joshua could not help smiling when he heard this. He reached out to gently stroke Luna’s cheek and replied, “Things have gone ahead of schedule, just trust me. Go do your makeup and put on your best dress. I’m bringing you to see someone important.”
Luna could not help frowning in confusion upon hearing this.
She bit her lip and shot Joshua a helpless glance.
She had wanted to ask him more, but in the end, she swallowed her questions.
After all, she would be able to find out soon enough.
With that, Luna turned and strode up the stairs.
After her accident six years ago, she had undergone plastic surgery with Malcolm’s help, and the result was that she had one of the most beautiful faces one would ever lay eyes on.
Therefore, she did not require much makeup to surpass any woman in the room.
After putting on some foundation and lipstick, Luna scoured her wardrobe for a new dress, put it on, and went back downstairs.
Joshua had already changed into a suit that made him look even more handsome and elegant than usual.
Next to him stood Nigel and Harvey, both dressed in handsome little suits of their own.
Luna furrowed her brows. “Are they coming with us?”
Joshua nodded with a smile. “Someone requested to see them.”
Luna could not help feeling even more puzzled by this.
What kind of person was waiting to meet them? Who was so important that not only did
Joshua get changed, he even requested for Luna to dress up too?
Not only that, but this person even specifically requested to see Nigel and Harvey too.
With these questions circling in her mind, Luna followed Joshua into the car.
The entire car was silent on the way to the hospital.
Nigel was typing on his laptop, whereas Harvey was engrossed in his latest crime thriller novel.
Joshua, on the other hand, was doing some work on his phone, and the driver had his eyes on the road.
The only person in the car that had nothing to do was Luna.
There were a few times she wanted to break the silence with some light conversation, but she decided against that.
She did not want to break the peace of these three.
Soon, the car arrived at the hospital.
As soon as she got out of the car, Luna caught sight of the charming, elegant man standing at the hospital entrance.
Luna stared at him in disbelief. “Caleb? What are you doing here in Merchant City?”
Caleb fell silent for a moment, then chuckled. “I was escorting a good friend’s relative back to Merchant City.” He smiled at her and said, “Let’s not focus on that for now. Come in.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2080
Luna could not help feeling that Caleb was acting a little strange, but at the same time, she could not tell what was wrong.
At the same time, Joshua called her name, so Luna followed Joshua into the hospital after bidding Caleb a quick farewell.
Caleb could not help curling his lips into a small smile as he watched Joshua and Luna enter the hospital.
He had already known since the moment he met Joshua and Luna that these two would eventually end up together, but he was surprised by how fast the day had come.
“Who are we here to visit?” Luna asked in a low voice as she followed Joshua.
There was a hint of a smile in Joshua’s tone as he led her past the hallways, hand-in-hand.” We’re visiting the woman I was on the phone with.”
Luna’s body stiffened slightly when she heard this.
She bit her lip and shot Joshua a nervous glance. “Who…is she?”
She had not even brought up anything about that woman yet, and all of a sudden, Joshua brought her over to introduce them.
Luna could not help wondering what would happen if the woman turned out to be someone that wanted to claim Joshua as her own.
What would she do?
However, as soon as this thought popped into her heart, Luna quickly tried to ignore it.
This was impossible; Joshua would never cheat on her.
She knew better than anyone how crazy he was for her.
Just as Luna was submerged in her thoughts, Joshua stopped in his tracks. “Go on inside.”
His words pulled Luna back to reality.
She immediately came to and reached out to push the door open.
However, as soon as her hand touched the door handle, she suddenly turned to glance at Joshua as though she remembered something. “Aren’t you coming with me?”
“Not yet. I don’t want to intrude on this.”
With that, he took a small step back and gestured at Luna to go into the room, smiling.
Luna fell silent for a moment, then let out an exhale and pushed the door open.
The room was silent, and there was a white partition between the door and the bed.
The entire room was so quiet that Luna could hear her own breathing.
She slowly walked in, subconsciously holding her breath.
For some reason, she could not help feeling a little nervous, so much so that every step felt like her feet were made of lead.
Finally
She circled past the partition and finally caught sight of the woman lying on the bed, as well as the man sitting next to her.
Luna suddenly felt as though someone had hit her on the back of her head; there was a buzzing in her ear.
She could not believe her eyes.
Luna rubbed her eyes and fixated on the scene before her once more.
This was not a dream.
“What’s wrong? Aren’t you happy to see me, silly child?” When Rosalyn’s voice finally rang out, Luna discovered that this was not a dream.
Her mother was awake!
Her mother, who had been in a coma for more than a year, was finally awake!
· Luna could not hold herself back anymore. She lunged forward, crying, and leaped into Rosalyn’s arms. “When did you wake up?” “A few days ago.”
