Ch. 221..230

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 221

Luna took a deep breath and opened the door with the key.

It was quiet in the room.

The afternoon sun shone through the small window on the ceiling, forming a beam of light.

A woman in a hospital gown with messy hair was sitting at the corner with her head buried between her legs. She was so quiet it was as if she did not exist.

Luna closed her eyes in despair.

That person was not Aura. Aura would not be so quiet and obedient.

After a while, she sighed and said, “Bonnie.“

The woman by the bed jolted a little, then she slowly lifted her head.

Under the messy hair was Bonnie's clean face.

This was the first time that she saw Bonnie without her glasses. She did not expect that it would be under such circumstances.

“It really is you. “ Bonnie looked at Luna and smiled bitterly yet helplessly. “I thought I could get through today.“

She did not expect that she would be exposed so quickly in less than an hour.

Seeing Bonnie's calm look, Luna felt a huge hammer smashing her heart. It was painful and insufferable.

She has never once suspected Bonnie, because the moment she joined Lynch Group, Bonnie presented herself as a simple, adorable, and naive girl. Luna liked girls like Bonnie, who are young and have their own opinions.

However, she did not expect that she would be tricked by her.

Luna took a deep breath and sat on the chair. She glanced at Bonnie coldly. “Didn't you say that you hate Aura? What is it now? Because you hate her so much you start to love her? You're willing to give up everything for her?“

“No.“ Bonnie lifted her head and looked at Luna. She smiled gently. “I still hate her. I do this because I have my own reasons.“

“What could it be that you would do such a thing for the woman you hate?“

“Luna, you don't have to be so hostile.“

Bonnie chuckled gently. She pried off the chains on her hands and legs. Then, she slowly walked over and sat opposite of Luna.

“I have a brother, not blood -related. He is a truck driver.“

Bonnie smiled and looked at Luna. “Since we were young, we relied on each other. He sacrificed his education so that I could have one. He started driving to earn money. He spent every dime he

earned on me. We are not blood-related, so when we grew up, I swore I was going to marry him. However,

later on..."

Bonnie lifted her head and looked at Luna. “He went missing. The last job he did was for Aura. She got him to send something across the Bay Bridge on a heavy rain afternoon."

Heavy rain.

Truck.

Bay Bridge.

Upon hearing those keywords, Luna suddenly shuddered!

The driver that kicked her down from the bridge inexplicably appeared in her mind!

She shuddered and closed her eyes. She tried to recall the driver's treacherous face under the heavy rain.

“Your brother. Does he have a mole on his left face? Somewhere near the nose."

Bonnie's eyes widened instantly. “You knew my

brother?"

Luna's heart sank to the bottom.

She closed her eyes. After a long while, she opened her eyes and looked at Bonnie. “What did Aura do to make you agree to take her place?"

Bonnie bit her lips.

“She promised me that she would help me find my brother."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 222

Luna smiled bitterly. “You believe her?“ “Not really, but...“

Bonnie lowered her head. “She took my phone and dialed my brother's current phone number. I heard it. It was his voice.

“Aura said that when my brother was sending a shipment for her, he crashed into someone. Because he was afraid of being punished by the law, he took some money and ran. He is still living comfortably overseas, but he is afraid that someone might trick him into coming back and pay for his crimes, so other than Aura, he would not listen to anyone.“

Bonnie said. Her tears fell.

She sobbed, “I really missed my brother. I'm an investigative reporter. All these years, I have tried all ways to find out news about him, because I really couldn't find him, so I targeted Aura. I started writing bad publicity about Aura. Now that I have heard my brother's voice and I was sure he was alive

“So you were willing to sacrifice your freedom in exchange for Aura's?“

Luna looked at Bonnie crying. She sneered, “Idiot.“

Bonnie closed her eyes. “You can call me whatever you want. You only got together with Joshua for the money. You will never know what a real relationship feels like! “

“I don't know about relationships?“ Luna looked at Bonnie and laughed suddenly. “No one's relationship experience is as heartfelt as the one I experienced. I 'll admit. Maybe I don't know much about relationships, but I know that if your brother has you in his heart, you would not need to put out so much effort.

“He's alive, yet he has not contacted you for many years. Isn't it obvious? Stop living in your fantasy.“

Luna's words were like a heavy hammer, crushing Bonnie's heart, as well Joshua's heart, who was listening to their conversation outside the door.

Bonnie bit her lips. “Maybe he is just angry at me, or perhaps there was a misunderstanding? The day he left, we argued...“

“That's not love. “ Luna helplessly sighed, “I have also once loved someone with all my might. His tiny bit of concern for me was enough for me to treat it a s proof that he loves me. I would be so happy that I wouldn't be able to sleep for a few days. Later on, I started to realize that a person that truly loves you would not let you wait too long. If he has not confessed nor has he come back after so long, that's because he does not have you in his heart.“

Bonnie bit her lips hard.

She lifted her head and looked at Luna with reddened eyes.

“How sure are you? My brother loves me! He loves me the most in his entire life! If he did not love me, why would he sacrifice so much for me, giving me everything?"

“When he loved you, perhaps he truly did love you, but when he stopped loving you, he truly completely stopped loving you."

Luna stood up. “Since you're willing to take Aura's place to be punished, I have no reason to take you out. You picked this choice, you should accept the consequences. Perhaps, being locked in a mental asylum is more suitable for an obsessive paranoid person like you."

Then, Luna turned and left.

She shut the door and turned around. She met with Joshua's deep gaze.

Luna's heart skipped a beat. She smiled at Joshua awkwardly. “Mr. Lynch, where did you come here?" “I have been here for a long time."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 223

Joshua looked at her with a cold gaze. “Obsessive and paranoid.“

He smiled ironically. “Were you describing her or me?“

Luna paused for a while before realizing that her words to Bonnie might have been directed toward Joshua too.

Luna shrugged. She smiled at him gently. “Mr. Lynch, you're overthinking this. How could I be describing you in that way? I was still hoping you would help me figure out where Aura went.“

Joshua furrowed his brows at her words. He sighed, “ We couldn't find her. After she came out from the mental asylum, she hailed a cab.“

Lucas, who was standing behind Joshua, sighed. He recounted what he said to Joshua to Luna once more.

“She got down in the suburbs where there was no surveillance. Later on, whether it be traffic or public transport surveillance, we could no longer find her.“

Lucas sighed, “She should still be in Banyan City, as for where she is, we don't know.“

“I blame myself for this. “ Luna closed her eyes. “I was too careless.“

Then, she bowed at Lucas. “Thank you for your hard work.“

Lucas was rather flattered. He immediately helped her up. “Why are you being so polite with me?“

“We can't blame you for this.“ Joshua furrowed his brows. “Bonnie is a reporter. Even if she did not use you today, she would still be able to locate Aura sooner or later. Your carelessness only sped up her process.“

Then, Joshua looked at Luna calmly. “Go back home first. I'll check the surveillance once more.“

Luna nodded before turning around and leaving in exhaustion.

When she returned to Blue Bay Villa, she laid on the huge bed, exhausted. She turned on the communicative necklace to contact Nigel.

“Can you help me?“ “I'm already doing it!“

Nigel, who was in a patient ward across the ocean, was carefully observing tiny windows of surveillance footage on his screen. “Don't beat yourself up. Aura escaping might be a good thing.“

Luna furrowed her brows. “How so?“

“I heard your conversation with Bonnie. If Bonnie's brother was the driver that pushed you down the bridge back then, then you would have a witness for the atrocities that the scumbag and Aura did to you, isn't it?“

Luna was instantly stunned. What Nigel said made sense.

“Also, from Bonnie, we could be sure that her brother is still alive. Once we have a witness, we would be able to help you overturn the case."

Luna has also once thought about using what Aura and Joshua had done to set her up in the past, to make them pay.

However, it had been so long, the evidence was all gone. After six years, it would be too challenging to bring them to court, but, if she had a witness... everything would be much simpler!

Luna jumped up from the bed in excitement. “True."

She held the necklace and wanted to continue the discussion with Nigel when her phone rang.

Natasha was calling.

“Ms. Luna, I am waiting for you at your home. Have you moved house?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 224

At that moment only then did Luna recall that she sent Natasha a message when she came out of the mental asylum.

They have agreed to meet at Luna's old place. She wanted to tell Natasha all the atrocities that Aura has committed.

However, Luna was so caught up with the Bonnie incident that she almost forgot about it.

She took a deep breath. Luna looked at the dark skies. “I'll come over now.“

Then, she hung up the phone. She got down and changed her clothes.

“Mommy, are you really going?“

Nigel's voice came from the necklace. “Do you think that Aura would look for Grandma? Grandma trusts Aura so much. Even when Aura was locked up, she looked for Grandma for help.“

Luna was changing halfway when she paused suddenly.

If Natasha and Aura joined forces and tricked her there...

However, what if Aura did not find Natasha?

Natasha did not trust Luna that much. Luna managed to get that recording with such difficulty. She wanted to expose Aura's true colors to Natasha. She did not want to give up such a good opportunity.

Neil sighed, “Why don't I contact Neil. See if Zach and Yuri could accompany you to see Grandma.“

Luna hesitated for a while before nodding. “Okay.“ Half an hour later, she got Zach's call.

“We're at Blue Bay Villa.“ Luna took a deep breath. She went downstairs in relief.

In the hall downstairs, Neil and Nellie were doing arts and crafts. Nellie was in charge of drawing while Neil was making it.

Upon seeing her coming downstairs, Neil smiled brightly. “Come back home earlier! “

Luna felt warm in her heart.

She looked at the two children. “Do you want to eat anything? I'll bring some back for you.“

Neil furrowed his brows and thought for a while. “No need.“

Then, he pointed at the paperboard on the coffee table. “Why don't you come back home earlier and help us with this. Such childish homework.“

Luna shook her head helplessly before exiting. Zach and Yuri drove a ramshackle van.

Upon seeing her, the two men smiled at her rather embarrassingly. “You're finally here. Our old van feels too shabby in front of a mansion. We're quite embarrassed by it.“

Luna did not have many emotions on her face. She smiled, opened the door, and got in the van.

Although the van was rather dilapidated, it was extremely clean inside. She could smell that the brothers had deliberately sprayed cheap air freshener to welcome her.

She was rather moved by their actions. She started chatting with them, “How long have you been here in Banyan City?“

“About six or seven years.“ Yuri chuckled while driving, “Please don't mind us looking shabby. If we saved a little more here, our mother would be able to live more comfortably back home. We have been sending money back for the past few years.“

Luna sighed emotionally, “Such good kids. You'll be able to earn big bucks sooner or later.“

“We can't. We're rather timid. We could only earn little.“ Zach was seated in the passenger seat,

looking out of the window. He said in a low voice, “ Six years ago when we first came to Banyan City, someone hired us to bang someone with our van. A million dollars for someone's life. We were too cowardly, so we did not dare to do it.

“Later on, we knew someone who did it. He got rich. He is currently living the sweet life overseas. He was never going to return back to this country, nor did he keep in touch with us.“

Luna was stunned. How could it be such a coincidence?

She pursed her lips and asked tentatively, “Did that guy have a... younger sister?“

“Sister? More like a money tree.“

Zach sneered, “That girl was an heiress of a rich family. He took great care of her. He initially wanted to wait until she turns eighteen and get her pregnant before reconciling with her rich family. By then, he would be the son-in-law of the family.

“However, no one would have expected that the family went bankrupt six years ago. The heiress was useless to him, so he took someone else's money, murdered someone, and left the country."

Zach finished talking when he realized that something was not right. “How did you know he had a sister?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 225

“I took a guess.“

Luna leaned back in the backseat, looking at the night scenery outside of the window.

Bonnie's defiant eyes appeared in her mind inexplicably.

“My brother loves me! He loves me the most in his entire life! If he did not love me, why would he sacrifice so much for me, giving me everything?“

Luna sneered.

Sure enough. Relationships were the most useless things.

At that moment, Bonnie was like Luna Gibson back then, so silly it was heartbreaking.

Soon, the van arrived.

Zach and Yuri accompanied Luna upstairs. Once she reached upstairs, Luna opened the main door of her rented apartment.

The lights were not switched on inside. Under the moonlight, Luna noticed a skinny and feeble figure sitting on the sofa.

Luna furrowed her brows and switched on the lights. Natasha curled up on the sofa, sleeping soundly.

When the light was turned on, she furrowed her brows and woke up from her dreams.

When she woke up, she looked at Luna and smiled distantly. “Ms. Luna, you are finally here. You said you saw Aura today, right?“

“Hmm.“

Luna took a deep breath. Once she made sure that Natasha was the only one in the room, she closed the door.

She sat opposite Natasha. “I want to play a recording for you.“

Luna picked up the teacup and took a sip. She immediately took the recording device out and pressed play. She put the device on the coffee table.

Aura's manic voice could be heard coming from the recording device.

“I have been jealous of Luna since I was young! I have been living under her shadows! “

“So, I want to destroy her! I want to ruin everything that belongs to her! “

“I should have killed that little b*tch, Nellie long ago! “

Every word from the recording device made Natasha paler by the moment.

She never would have expected that her obedient, mature, and kind daughter would say things like these.

Every word from Aura was like a bomb detonating in Natasha's ears.

Natasha could not help but tremble.

In the end, she slumped on the sofa listlessly. She forced herself not to pass out.

How?

How could this have happened?

After a long while, when the recording device had finished playing, Natasha could no longer hold back her tears.

She lifted her head with tears streaming down her face. She looked at Lune. “Have I misunderstood Luna? My eldest daughter... will she ever forgive me?“

Looking at her mother in this state, Luna felt as if a large hand had wrapped itself around her heart, wrenching it. It was painful.

This woman in front of her was her biological mother. She was someone that had been in her life for more than zo years. She thought that her mother would know her best, yet she had been tricked by Aura, right until that moment.

If Luna did not personally find Aura to record their conversation, Natasha might not even regret her misunderstanding with Luna Gibson.

At that thought, Luna closed her eyes and laughed bitterly.

“I think she will forgive you.“ Natasha lifted her head up in surprise.

“But, she will never respect you as her mother anymore, because it isn't worth it.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 226

Natasha looked at Luna in a daze.

After a while, she wiped her tears away and nodded. “ Yes. If I was her, I would do the same thing too...“

A mother should know and trust her daughter the best, yet...

Seeing how badly Natasha was sobbing, even if Luna was cruel, she could only sigh.

She passed a tissue to Natasha. “Wipe your tears.“

Inside, mother and daughter were confessing their heartfelt feelings to each other. Outside, Zach and Yuri were looking at each other.

“I'm a little sleepy.“ Yuri yawned. Zach rolled his eyes at him. He wanted to say something when he saw a person flash by at the staircase.

He furrowed his brows alertly. “Who is there?“

After a while, a woman in a black trench coat and black-framed glasses walked up. She was hidden in the dark, so no one could see her face clearly.

“Hello.“ She chuckled lightly and walked over. She shook her phone which had been turned off. “I 'm here to visit someone, but my phone died. Could you lend me your phone? Let me make a phone call.“

Zach furrowed his brows looking at her. He said nothing.

Yuri, on the other hand, kindheartedly passed his phone to her. “Make it quick. Don't stay here too long.“ “Thank you.“

The woman accepted Yuri's phone and went downstairs. Once she made sure that Zach and Yuri could only see her figure but could not hear her, she stopped in her tracks.

She swiftly found [Boss Neil] under contact and called.

At that moment, Neil was still in the living room at Blue Bay Villa, doing arts and crafts with Nellie.

When the phone rang, he looked at the screen and frowned a little.

Why would Yuri call him at that moment? Did something happen to his Mommy?

He furrowed his brows and picked the call up.

“Neil, “ a woman said in a crying voice, “I 'm your Grandma, Natasha. Your Mommy told me everything. Her phone died, so I used the bodyguard's phone to call you. Could you come over? Don't let Joshua know. I just want to see you, please?“

Neil gripped onto his phone and hesitated for a moment.

“Okay. Wait for me.“

Then, Neil hung up. He looked at Nellie, who was still engrossed in her art.

“I have something important to attend to, stay put at home.“ Then, he walked over, picked his jacket up, and left.

When he was by the main entrance, he bumped into Joshua coming back.

Seeing Neil dressed up, Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. “It's late, where are you going?“

“My godmother is looking for me.“ Neil lied without flinching. He immediately walked past Joshua to the opposite side of the road and hailed a taxi.

Standing by the main entrance, Joshua looked at Neil leaving. He narrowed his eyes a little.

When the taxi reached Luna's rented apartment, it was already nine at night.

Getting out of the taxi, Neil took a deep breath as if he was making a huge decision. He walked upstairs.

First floor, second floor, third floor...

When he reached the fifth floor, a figure suddenly rushed out.

A woman pressed onto his head with one hand, while pointing a knife at his neck with the other hand. “ Follow me.“

Neil furrowed his brows. His tone was cold, “Aura Gibson?“

The woman was suddenly stunned.

After a while, she sneered, “No wonder you're Luna Gibson's son. You're smart.“

“Too bad you're still so stupid,“ Neil mocked, “look up.“

Aura was stunned. She subconsciously looked up. Upstairs, Zach was sneering at her walking down. “Then, look down.“

Downstairs, Yuri was also approaching her with hostility.

Aura finally realized that she was tricked by this kid! She sneered, “Such loyal dogs you have! “

She did not understand why two tall adults would listen to a six-year-old kid.

“I treat them as my friends, no dogs.“

“You, on the other hand, treat people who do things for you like dogs. Take a guess, do you think they'll bite you in return?“

Although Neil's head was being clasped by Aura and a knife was pointed at him, he sounded extremely calm.

Aura was aggravated by him. “You b*stard. Believe it or not, I'll kill you! “

“Killing me serves no purpose for you, “ Neil's voice was calm, “all you want to achieve is my mother being worried for me, for her to cry for me. Then, you want to watch her lose it and kill me in front of her. Too bad, my Mommy is being locked in her room upstairs by Zach and Yuri. You won't be able to see what you wanted to see.“

Aura gritted her teeth hard. Her eyes were reddened. “How do you know I have to see Luna Gibson lose it? I could just kill you with one stab! “

Seeing Zach and Yuri closing onto her, Aura could only pull Neil and retreated into a room.

Slam!

She closed the door.

The lights were switched on inside. Neil had a look around. “You only rented this room this afternoon, right? There's still a lot of dust. This room is not enough for the two of us to live in. You shouldn't have brought me here. Now, you can't escape, neither can you continue living.“

Neil's face was full of taunts. “Not a very smart decision.“

“Shut up! “ Aura kicked him to the ground. “So much nonsense! Talk anymore and I'll stab you! “

Aura regretted her decision! She should not have called Neil. She should have gotten Nellie to come over instead!

Neil was too smart and too talkative!

She used quite some force when she kicked Neil to the ground. Neil was in so much pain his face was distorted.

He forced himself to stand up, turned around, and sneered at Aura.

Aura was infuriated at his expressions.

She bit her lips and immediately rushed over. Slap! Slap! Slap!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 227

After a few slaps, Neil's face was swollen and puffed up.

Only then did Aura feel a little relieved of her anger.

She stood up and looked at Neil condescendingly.  “

Aren't you smart? Didn't you guess what I was trying to do? Why did you still blindly come over?“

Neil looked at her. “If I did not come, you will try to lay your hands on Nellie or my Mommy. They are women, I am a man.“

He should be the one to bear the suffering.

His words made Aura sneered, “How courageous, but what use is there even if you're smart? You're still here getting a beating from me.“

Neil winked at her. “Take a guess as to why I would be receiving a beating from you here?“

Aura furrowed her brows but said nothing. Neil smiled a little. “Look downstairs.“

Aura pursed her lips. She walked over to the window,

pried the curtains apart, and glanced down below. “You called the cops?“

“If I'm not wrong, Nellie was the one who called the Cops.”

Neil smiled flatly. He crossed his arms around his chest. Although his face was swollen, he still looked smug and aloof, just like Joshua.

The more arrogant he was, the angrier Aura felt!

She went to such lengths to make sure that Luna never gave birth to Joshua's child! She knew that although Joshua has never expressed it openly, he has already chosen Luna all along.

If Luna were to give birth to his child... no one would be able to snatch Joshua away from her anymore!

It was because of that that Aura took such huge risks to get Luna killed!

At that moment, five years have passed. Not only did Luna not die, she was even more beautiful than before. She even gave birth to a daughter and a son.

Her son was exactly like Joshua!

Jealousy poisoned Aura like a snake's venom, spreading throughout her entire body.

She walked to Neil and bent down. She clutched Neil by the neck with one hand while pointing the fruit knife at him with the other hand. “Do you believe that I could kill you now?“

“I do.“ Neil lifted his head and smiled brightly. “Ms. Gibson, I guess you don't know about this.

From the moment you called me, your every move is under surveillance. When Yuri passed you the phone, he touched you. Remember?“ Aura paused a little. She furrowed her brows and tried to recall. Because Yuri was a shabby-looking bodyguard, when he touched her, she secretly rolled her eyes in disgust.

“You remember it now, don't you?“ Neil smiled and said, “When he touched you, he planted a chip on you. Your every move would be transmitted by the Infrared Receiver. Whatever you do or say would be captured.“

Neil took a step back slightly. He exposed the dazed Aura to the view of the window. “You could see for yourself. The cops are downstairs. I don't care whether you want to kill me or if you could kill me. What I'm sure of is that the scumbag Joshua wouldn't be able to protect you anymore today.“

The police have surrounded the area. Even if Joshua was powerful, he would not be able to deal with this.

Aura kidnapped him, threatened him, and even wanted to murder him. All the evidence has been transmitted live to the chief captain's computer.

Justice prevailed. The culprit has been caught red - handed.

Neil would not believe that under such circumstances, Joshua would still be able to protect Aura!

The previous time, he believed Joshua too easily. He wanted to give Joshua a chance, which was why Aura got away with it for so long.

However, at that moment...

Neil lifted his head. He looked rather arrogant and smug. “Ms. Gibson, you can't run anymore. This time, you should pay for your crimes.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 228

“Not only for kidnapping me this time, but also trying to get Nellie killed the last time, also...“

Neil narrowed his eyes. “Also the accident six years ago. You should pay for all the crimes you committed.“

Aura's body stiffened. She could not move.

She lowered her eyes in a daze and looked fixedly at Neil's small, palm-sized face. “You... even know about the incident six years ago?“

Six years ago, this kid was still in Luna's womb!

“People won't know what you did if you didn't do them.“ Neil smiled. “I know you colluded with Joshua and did bad things.“

Aura furrowed her brows and looked at Neil closely. After a while, she smiled.

He said that he knew she colluded with Joshua to do bad things, but, from the start, Joshua and she were from two different worlds.

He has been trying very hard to draw a line between them, how could he possibly have colluded with her?

Thus... Luna Gibson and her children thought that she did those things together with Joshua?

Aura squinted her eyes.

Great!

Bang!

Just when Aura was in a daze, a bullet accurately shot through the window and directly pierced through the knife which was in Aura's hand!

She wailed and dropped the knife. Clang!

It fell on the floor.

The next second, special forces who were outside broke the door down and entered!

Aura was immediately pinned down by a few officers. She could not resist.

“Neil! “ Besides the officers, Luna rushed into the room as well.

She ran over manically and hugged Neil in her arms. “Are you alright?“

“I'm fine.“

Feeling Luna's nervousness and trembles, Neil calmly raised his hands and patted Luna on the shoulder. “See, I didn't even bleed.“

Luna's nose and eyes were sore. She could no longer stop her tears.

She turned Neil's face to the other side and noticed his swollen cheeks and the dried blood stain by the corner of his lips. “You dare tell me that you are fine? I have already said that I would deal with my things on my own! Why did you drag yourself into this?“

If something were to happen to Neil because of Aura, Luna would never forgive herself!

“I'm a man, Mommy.“ Neil maturely lifted his hands and patted Luna's back, comforting her. “Last time, she always targeted you and Nellie. This time, she finally found me. How could I hide?“

He reached out and gently hugged Luna's shoulders. “I'm fine. I'm a man. A small injury like this is nothing.“

Then, he looked at the door outside.

People were moving about in the corridors outside. Among the darkness, he immediately noticed a man standing out. That man was hidden in the shadows. Neil could not see his face clearly, but even so, Neil immediately recognized him from his unique aura.

Neil whispered in Luna's ears, “Every movement Aura made was recorded and sent to the captain's email at the police station. This time, even if Joshua wants to protect her, he won't be able to do so.“

Luna violently jolted.

After a while, she finally realized what Neil meant.

That idiot used himself as bait to get Aura to commit a crime once again. This way, he would be able to get irrefutable evidence. Evidence that Aura could not deny and Joshua could not wipe away!

At that thought, Luna could no longer hold back her tears. They stream down her face.

“I don't know whether to call you smart or foolish. “

“Smart and foolish, just like you. “Neil paused for a while before gently pecking Luna on the cheeks.

“If I didn't trust Joshua so much previously, Aura would not have gotten away last time. Mommy, I'm like you. I'll never trust him again.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 229

Luna shuddered at Neil's words.

She pursed her lips and hugged Neil tightly. She wanted to say something but could not find her words.

“But, Mommy...“ Neil sniffled. He whispered feebly in Luna's ears. “I 'm a little tired. I'm going to sleep.“

Then, Neil fell to the ground  without  any warning!

When Luna came to her senses and tried to catch Neil, he was almost to the ground.

A pair of large hands firmly caught Neil. Joshua immediately carried the unconscious Neil in his arms.

When Luna came to her senses. She immediately stood up. “Thank you.“ She reached out and wanted to take over Neil from him.

Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. He lowered his gaze and looked at her, then he turned around and strode away. “Follow me.“

Luna paused for a while before following him.

“Aura! Aura! “

The moment Luna got out, she bumped into Natasha running into the house like a maniac. The moment they passed by each other, Natasha slammed into Luna's shoulder hard, but Natasha had no eyes for anyone. She barely even gave Luna a look before running into the room like a madman.

“Aura, are you alright? Doctor, doctor! Save my daughter! “

Listening to Natasha's heart-wrenching screams, Luna gently closed her eyes.

She remembered her previous conversation with her upstairs. “When you knew that Luna passed away, did you cry?“

The answer she got was a definitive no. When she met with an accident, Natasha did not drop a single tear.

Natasha explained that back then, she did not think that Luna was a good child, so she was not sad at her passing.

However, an hour before anything happened to Aura, she saw with her own eyes how Natasha reprimanded Aura disappointedly, saying that she finally saw Aura's true colors.

What happened then?

Even if Natasha knew the bad things that Aura has done, even if she knew that Aura has tried to commit murder multiple times, but when Aura got hurt, Natasha would still cry her heart out.

Luna would never be as good as Aura in this life. She followed Joshua and got in the car.

The car quickly headed to the hospital. Luna grabbed Neil's hand while Neil was still in Joshua's arms. She turned to look out of the window. She closed her eyes.

The image that appeared on her mind was how Aura yelled manically in the mental asylum that afternoon.

“I'm jealous of Luna! I have been living under her shadows since I was young! "

“She's too great. Everyone compares me to her!"

“I want to take away everything that she has! I want her to never be able to compete with me!"

Luna smiled bitterly.

In Aura's eyes, her light overpowered Aura's advantages. However, ever since young, no one ever mentioned how her parents loved Aura more.

“Lulu, you stay at home and learn. We'll take Aura out to play."

“Lulu, you're amazing! We're so proud of you! Sigh, Aura, what are you crying for? We never said that we don't like you..."

Luna sighed. She always thought that as long as she became better and made her parents proud, they would treat her like how they treated Aura.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 230

Later on, when she grew up, she understood that she could never take away her parent's bias toward Aura.

Thus, she learned from her parents to pamper and love Aura, so that they would be closer to each other.

The few years that she was in a good relationship with Aura were also the years when she had the best relationship with her parents.

At that time, she married a man that she loved, plus she also got the care of her parents.

She thought that she was the happiest person on earth.

In the end, she knew that the so-called happiness was short-lived.

It was all because of Aura. Also, the man next to her.

If he did not get sick of Aura, she might still be the one being pampered and loved.

Soon, the car reached the hospital.

Once the car stopped, Joshua immediately opened the car door and carried Neil down.

He rushed into the hospital. “Doctor! “

At that moment, it was early evening, the lights in the hospital were rather dim.

The doctor on call immediately rushed out and led the way.

The way Joshua held Neil walking in the dim corridor was like a big tree that could shelter from the wind

and rain.

Luna followed behind him. She looked at his tall figure. She looked at how his muscles were tensed from carrying Neil. She looked at how his shoulders moved when he ran.

At that moment, she had mixed feelings.

Her three children were like any ordinary children, wishing they had a father.

Luna has also thought of finding them a father figure.

Her first choice was Malcolm Quinn, who rescued her from the brink of death and nurtured her back to health.

However, when she told her three children to let Malcolm be their dad, all of them rejected the idea.

Nigel said that he would rather have no father than one who is not blood-related.

Neil said that he did not mind if he did not have a father, as long as Luna was happy.

Nellie said that she only wanted her real father.

At that time, they were still young, they still did not know what Joshua was like as a person.

When they grew up, they finally knew about Joshua's story, so the three of them started to set her up with Malcolm.

Luna always knew that Neil, who kept saying that it did not matter whether he had a father or not,

craved for a father's love the most.

Even if he has decided in his heart that Joshua was a scumbag, he would still want to give him a chance.

If not, Neil would not have given the evidence of Aura harming Nellie to him.

However, this man was too...much of a disappointment.

“It's nothing much. He was probably too exhausted from a high level of mental stress before.“

When Joshua put the unconscious Neil on the bed, the doctor did a simple check-up. “He just needs a good rest. I'll put him on drips. After that, he should be awake.“

The doctor looked at Neil's swollen face. “I 'll also give him some medication for his face.“

Then, the doctor furrowed his brows and looked at Joshua. “The kid is still young. Even if he made a mistake, you can't beat him up like this. What happens if you disfigure him? Can you at least be a better father? Nothing good would come out of violence! “

The patient ward was in silence for a very long time.

After a while, Joshua looked at the doctor a little helplessly. “He is not my son. I am also not his father.“

He only had a daughter.

The doctor raised his eyebrows. “What? Are you afraid that people would point out your mistakes for beating him, so you don't even dare to admit he is your son?“

Then, the doctor pointed at Neil's face, then at Joshua's face. ”You two look so alike , yet you dare say that he is not your son? No one would believe you.”
