“Why do you need to go look for Joshua?” Sean furrowed his brow as he looked at Kate. “Riley isn’t in a good condition. She’s still in the intensive care unit, and they still haven’t found their daughter until now. He’s very busy and can’t help you handle your problem, so.”

Kate’s eyebrows knitted together as she turned and looked at Sean in bewilderment. “Why do I need

Joshua’s help?”

She discovered Thomas’ secret! She bet Joshua and Luna had no idea that Riley was Thomas’ daughter.

Before this, she had heard from Luke saying that Joshua and Luna were looking for Riley’s biological parents. If they knew Thomas was Riley’s father, they would not need to look any further!

“You…” Sean furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at Kate. “Aren’t you going to look for Joshua so he’d say something good about you with Luke,”

“Is that what you think?” interjected Kate before Sean could finish, smirking coldly as she looked at Sean with an icy expression. “Why do I need to get Joshua to put in the good words for me with Luke?” she sneered.

“I don’t think I’m that close with Joshua to let him solve my private affairs. Plus…” She sneered, and her smirk never wavered. “I do like Luke, but that doesn’t mean I need to try to break up him and Gwen.”

After that, she turned to glance at Sean. “I’m not like you. I don’t need to be with him just because I like him. Don’t think that everyone is the same as you.

“You knew Bonnie and Jim were in a relationship, but you still insisted on stepping into their relationship. I’ll never do such a thing like breaking up a couple just because I like that guy.”

With that, she left the ward with her phone.

Sean leaned back on the headrest and watched as Kate left. Biting on his lower lip, a bitter smile slowly formed soon after.

Frankly speaking, he wanted to tell Kate he no longer yearned to be with Bonnie after Joshua and Luna lectured him. Even when he still had feelings for her….

It was the same case with Kate.

Maybe Luna’s choice was right. Only girls like Yannie were the best option for him. However, it did not

seem like Yannie liked him either.

Was he that bad?

When Kate arrived at Joshua’s house, Joshua was on the phone with Luna. “What? You have to do that? Have you found the girl?”

Luna sighed on the other side of the phone while she was still in the control room, looking at the monitors. “Yes. It’s been almost an hour since kate left Sean’s ward, but no matter how I look at the surveillance footage from an hour ago, I can’t find her… Where did she go?”

Joshua laughed as he heard Luna’s nervous voice. “Didn’t you say you wanted to help Sean look for Kate so Sean and Yannie could have some time alone to nurture their relationship? Why are you in a hurry to find her, then? Isn’t that better? Sean and Yannie could have more time to themselves if it takes you more time to locate her.”

Luna pursed her lips. “But it’s been more than an hour.”

It did not make sense at all if she could not even locate Kate after such a long time.

Right at that moment, the butler came knocking on the door and brought Kate with him. “Sir, Ms. Miller here said she has something important to tell you.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2472 by desirenovel

Joshua furrowed his eyebrows as he looked at the butler and Kate. In the end, he burst into laughter.” Alright, you don’t need to look anymore. Just come back home.”

Luna, on the other end of the call, rolled her eyes. “What do you mean, ‘come back? I called you because I want you to help me. It’s fine if you have no intention to help, but why do you ask me to go back?”

“That’s because…” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and said with a low pitch, “Ms. Kate Miller is in our house now.”

“What?!” Luna widened her eyes. “I’ll be home!”

She hung up the phone immediately and left the control room.

Back in Joshua’s house, Joshua languidly sat on the couch as he gazed at the woman before him. “What brings you here? Is there something you want to tell me?”

Kate frowned and sat on the couch. “Yes, there is.”

Then, she took a sip of coffee and looked at Joshua. “Should I wait for your wife, or should I tell you now?”

Joshua smiled, but there was an undeniable gleam of coldness in his pupils. “You can tell me for now, and I’ll consider if I need to tell my wife about it.”

Kate smiled at this, having expected this response. She looked at him with curiosity. “There’s something I’ve been wondering. Within this year and more, Ms. Luna was once engaged with Young Master Quinn, but you now refer to her as your wife. Are you two divorced or not?”

Joshua narrowed his eyes and gave Kate a once-over before he chuckled. “We were never divorced. But… I owe her a wedding.”

Theoretically speaking, Luna was still his legally married wife. However, the name on the marriage certificate was Luna Gibson, but she no longer used that name anymore.

They were indeed still married, but they needed to amend the marriage certificate and have a wedding ceremony. After all, Joshua had no intention to force Luna if she was unwilling to bear her old family name, Gibson. The first thing he planned to do was marry Luna after he found their daughter.

It was quite complicated, and Kate might or might not have understood it. She looked up and saw the coldness in Joshua’s eyes.

With this, she knew Joshua was not willing to disclose such private information since they were not close, so she stopped asking.

“The reason why I’m here is…” She took a deep breath and passed her phone to Joshua after searching for the correct photo. “When I left Sean’s ward, I went upstairs along the stairway. As I reached the top floor, 1 accidentally saw this.”

Joshua’s eyebrows furrowed as he looked at the photo. A hint of shock and surprise appeared in his dark and deep eyes.

“T-They said…” Kate inhaled deeply. “This man here, Thomas Howard, is Riley’s biological father, and there are three reasons why he’s here: Riley, to look for Riley’s mother, and…” She gazed at Joshua’s face. “To have his revenge on you and Luna.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2473 by desirenovel

Joshua curled his lips and sneered as he shifted to a more comfortable posture. “I understand it now.”

From the looks of it, Thomas did not simply take Malcolm in and let Malcolm change his name to Lucifer Howard because Thomas was a philanthropist. Both of them must have had a deal where Malcolm provided information about Riley to Thomas, and Thomas would take Malcolm in and give him a new name so that Malcolm could return to Merchant City legitimately

However, was Riley genuinely Thomas’ daughter?

Could there be such a coincidental event in life, or did Malcolm deliberately stir up the conflict between him and Thomas?

“Mr. Lynch, what do you understand?” For some reason, Kate was afraid as she looked at the mysterious man in front of her.

Although Joshua was a handsome and good-looking man, he reeked of prominence and arrogance. The only time that aura would soften was when Luna was around.

However, Luna was not here at the moment. His powerful, suppressive aura scared Kate a lot, even when she spent most of her time with Luke, a gang leader.

“Nothing.” Joshua regained his senses when Kate asked that question. He looked at the scared girl and deleted the photo from the phone. Then he handed the phone back to Kate. “I’m aware of this now. Pretend like you never saw it or heard it. Don’t let anyone else know about it to stay out of trouble.”

Kate pursed her lips and took her phone carefully, staring at Joshua as questions stormed her mind. “Not even Luna?”

“Yes.” Joshua squinted and sternly repeated, “Not even Luna.”

She was already biased toward Thomas, and with Thomas being one of her business partners, Luna might not be able to keep her cool when working with that man should she find out about the truth.

Joshua feared that things would get out of hand.

“What are you two talking about? What is it that I can’t?”

The first thing Luna heard was Joshua telling Kate that she could not’.

What was that about?

Kate, startled by Luna’s sudden appearance and voice, timidly looked at Joshua, not knowing what to do.

Joshua, on the other hand, was calm. “Nothing.”

He stood up and walked toward Luna, pulling her into his arms as he softly added, “I was just telling Kate that no one is better than me when it comes to locating a person. She then asked about you, and I said that not even you can beat me.”

Luna defeatedly pursed her lips and looked at Kate, who was sitting on the couch. “I admit that.”

The hospital was just that big, and she could not locate her whatsoever. She even let people working in the control room replay the surveillance footage, yet she still failed to locate Kate.

At one point, she started to suspect her ability to locate a person.

Kate smiled awkwardly and looked at Luna. “Well… It’s normal you can’t see me from the surveillance footage. I bribed the people working in the control room yesterday with a huge load of money to make sure they won’t capture me on all of the cameras in the hospital.”

Luna was baffled to have heard this as she turned to gaze at Kate. “Why?”

Kate scratched her head. “Because… I don’t want anyone to know my whereabouts, and I don’t want Luke to find out what I was doing…..”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2474 by desirenovel

Kate paused for a moment and failed to come up with a further explanation. Even though she said nothing, Luna understood what she was trying to convey.

Luna was right on the money, Kate liked Luke.

Kate bribed the people in the room so no one could find her, all so she would stay hidden from Luke. It was purely a little tactic that she used on the man she liked. She knew Luke cared about her and that he had promised her family to stop her from missing and losing contact. This was probably why she liked to use these little tactics to stop Luke from locating her and worry about her in return.

With that, Luke would have to take some of his attention away from Gwen to look after her.

With that in mind, Luna disliked Kate even more, especially since Luna was a friend of Gwen. Should there be a woman like Kate with Joshua… She would have picked a fight with Joshua because of that woman.

Nevertheless, Gwen never fussed about it. In fact, Luna never knew there was such a person besides Luke if it were not for Sean.

Gwen might not care, but it did not mean Luna did not.

Thus, she curled her lips and smiled while looking at Kate. “In that case, there was no problem with my ability, and I didn’t fail to locate Ms. Miller from the control room.”

Then, she walked over to the couch and sat down, glancing at Kate coldly. “But I’d like to know, why are you here in my house?”

She sipped her coffee while glancing at Kate and Joshua. “Perhaps you’re planning to ask my husband to say something nice about you to Luke?”

To her, she and Joshua were on the same boat; only finding out about Kate after Sean’s incident. Otherwise, Luke did not have to tell Joshua about Kate’s life and family when he wanted to look for Kate.

They were not close with Kate, so there was no other reason Luna could think of for Kate to have come.

Feeling the hostility emanating from Luna, she furrowed her eyebrows and looked at Joshua.

Joshua squinted and shook his head at her.

Knowing what Joshua meant, she squeezed out a smile for Luna. “It’s because I know you were looking for me on Sean’s behalf. I know you can’t find me in the hospital, but I don’t have your number, so I came to your house…”

Luna squinted. “You don’t have my number, but Sean does.”

This essentially rendered Kate’s explanation weak.

Yes, she did not have Luna’s number, but Sean did. Why did Sean not contact her? It did not make sense at all.

Kate’s face turned pale.

She bit her lip and stammered, “Actually… Actually, you’re right. I did come here to get Mr. Lynch put in some good words for me to Luke, but Mr. Lynch rejected me.”

In the end, Kate exhaled deeply. “I’ll leave now. Goodbye.”

She ran out of the house as if she was running for her life.

Luna frowned as she watched Kate leave. For some reason, she had a feeling Kate and Joshua were

hiding a secret from her.

At that time, Luna’s phone rang. It was a call from Gwen.

“Hey, Luna,” came Gwen’s soft-sounding voice. “I remember that Bonnie will wake up anytime now. Didn’t Jim say he wanted to have a wedding ceremony for Bonnie and let her wake up during the ceremony? | don’t have any gown fit for a wedding, so I’ve asked Kate to go shopping with me. Why don’t you come along, too?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2475 by desirenovel

Luna was startled by Gwen‘s invitation. She had just driven Kate away with her sarcasm, and all of a sudden, Gwen wanted her to go shopping with Kate!

Was Gwen really a person with a big heart, or did she not care about Luke at all?

Luna knew that Gwen hated Luke and always tried to escape him, but Luna would not believe it if someone told her that she had no fondness for Luke whatsoever.

When Luna delivered her baby, Gwen came all the way from Sea City to look after her. There were many nights when Luna would listen to Gwen crying and calling Luke‘s name. Although Gwen said she no longer yearned for Luke‘s love, her eyes would still sparkle every time she mentioned Luke.

A person‘s eyes and emotions would not lie, which was why Luna was left baffled. If Gwen liked Luke, how could she accept having Kate linger around Luke?

Inhaling deeply, Luna walked to the side with her phone at hand and lowered her voice, replying, “Gwen, what are you thinking? You know Kate has feelings for Luke...”

“Of course I know, Lulu,” answered Gwen, cutting her off, “but I don‘t care.”

Luna inhaled deeply. “Do you think I don‘t know if you really care or not?”

It was just a simple question, but it made Gwen silent.

She stood in front of the window and watched Luke reprimanding his subordinate in the garden. A bitter smile appeared on her face. “I know I can’t hide my feelings from you, but...you know it, too.

“No matter how much I like Luke, I need to leave. He‘s a powerful man, and he shouldn‘t be with a dirty woman like me. He didn’t have to be the butt of the joke. He might not care about this, but that doesn‘t mean I don‘t. Kate‘s family, her appearance, and her ability match with Luke, doesn‘t she?”

On the other side of the phone, Luna gripped her phone tightly. “Gwen, you have to stop thinking that way. Actually...”

Gwen closed her eyes, and her breaths became noticeably heavier. “How should I think, then? Luna, take my place and tell me how you‘ll choose if you are me. Would you let Joshua give up his career, or let him suffer all the gossip and rumors? Or should I be like Luke; checking in every day if his subordinates gossip about me and kick them out?

“We can‘t control what people say; it‘s their freedom of speech. They‘re not lying, either…

“What would you do if you were me?”

Luna said nothing.

She was not Gwen, so she could not possibly think from her perspective. However…. If she was Gwen, perhaps she would make the same choice as Gwen.

She would choose to leave.

If she would sooner or later become a burden for the other half, it would be best to cut ties and let both parties be free once more.

After a moment of silence, Luna sighed. “Then...when are you planning to leave?”

When Gwen opened her eyes, Luke was nowhere to be seen in the garden. “I need to have an opportunity at least after Bonnie wakes up. I‘ll look for an opening afterward.”

She sniffled and wiped away a drop of tear from the corner of her eye. “Enough with this. I‘ll wait for you

at the shopping mall in the city center with Kate.” This time, Luna did not say anything further other than just a simple answer, “Okay.”

With that. Luna hung up and returned to the living room after she put away her phone. “Gwen asked me to go shopping with her.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2476 by desirenovel

Meanwhile, Joshua was typing a message to Lucas, a small frown present on his face as he did. He looked up and smiled gently at Luna. “Go. Shopping may help you feel better.”

Luna nodded. Just as she was about to go upstairs to change her clothes, Joshua called out from behind her, “You have Yannie‘s number, don‘t you? Can you give it to me? I need to look for her.”

Luna paused in her tracks, frowning as she turned to look at Joshua. “You don‘t have Yannie‘s number?”

Who was Joshua Lynch? The man who had Merchant City under his control. If he wanted to know Yannie‘s number, Lucas could easily get it within minutes. He did not need to ask her at all.

“Lucas is quite busy.” Joshua curled his lips, his deep, dark eyes seemingly smiling. “Plus, here I am, telling you that I need to look for Yannie.”

Luna was at a loss for words as she glanced at Joshua helplessly. “Why do you need to tell me? I‘m not going to overthink anything.”

She had nothing to worry about, whether it was with Joshua or Yannie. Nevertheless, it touched her when Joshua told her this request on his own, even when that was not what she said.

It was nice to know Joshua was thinking about her.

Joshua smiled. “In that case, you don‘t have to think much with Kate. Luke isn‘t that type of person either.”

Joshua was no fool. He knew why Luna treated Kate with that attitude and why she was unhappy. This is how he was reminding Luna of her behavior.

Luna pursed her lips as she stood on the staircase. “Luke is different from you.”

“How?” asked Joshua.

“Just different,” Luna simply answered before she turned around and stomped upstairs.

Joshua remained standing as he watched Luna going up the stairs.

He narrowed his eyes.

She was right; Luke was different from him. Joshua was used to having everything under his control. He believed that only he could give his beloved woman happiness, hence why he woke up with sheer willpower several times during the line of life and death, all because he was worried about handing over Luna and his children‘s future to another man.

He could only be at ease knowing he was the one taking care of Luna and his children.

Luke was different. He would rather die for Gwen.

He even thought that Gwen would only be happy if he was gone.

Joshua did not agree with Luke‘s thoughts and actions. Nevertheless, he respected Luke‘s choice.

If Luke decided to use his life to save Gwen‘s life...he could at least support him, as he was his friend.

Half an hour later, after Luna left the house, Yannie arrived.

She entered the house and took a look around the living room before spotting Joshua sitting on the couch.

“Ms. Luna…”

“She went shopping.” Joshua pointed at the couch next to him. “Sit. I was the one looking for you.”

Yannie sat on the couch while feeling tense. “Why did you look for me?”

Joshua lifted his head and looked at Yannie plainly. “I have something to ask of you. I want you to get

close to Thomas Howard.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2477 by desirenovel

Stunned by Joshua‘s request, Yannie stared at Joshua in disbelief. “Mr. Lynch, are you...serious?”

That morning, Luna had just told her to keep her distance from Thomas, and she refused it. All of a sudden, Joshua wanted her to get close to Thomas?

“Yes. After much consideration, you‘re the perfect person to do it,” replied Joshua.

Joshua had seen how Yannie blatantly crossed Thomas in the morning. Thomas even took the initiative to suggest having more contact with Yannie in the future while making them promise that Yannie had to be around when he discussed business matters with Luna.

Yannie would have ample time and reason to get close to Thomas. Moreover, Thomas would loosen his guard on her because Yannie hated him. It would not cross Thomas‘ mind that Yannie wanted to be close to him because of another reason.

Thus, Yannie was the best choice.

Joshua stood up and took out a black card, placing it on the coffee table. “This card has seventy–four thousand dollars in it. This is the deposit. Once it‘s done, I‘ll pay you another seventy–four thousand dollars. You can use the money to take care of your mother, and she doesn‘t have to work as a nanny at such an old age.”

Yannie bit her lip as she ogled the black card on the coffee table. Her heart started to race. ‘Seventy–four thousand dollars, added with another seventy–four thousand dollars? That‘s a total of one hundred forty eight thousand dollars!

The money was enough for her to buy a house in a nice suburb. With the remaining money, she could take care of her mother, and they would live better!

From the day she was born, they had been living in a shanty town. They did live a happy life, but their finances had always been tight. Since her mother was getting older, her body was weakening, too. Who knew what would happen in the future?

Yannie even had a dream to have a saving amount. Not too many; just enough to cover her mother‘s medical bills and her daily life.

148000 dollars was an amount Yannie did not even dare to dream of. It was just too much.

Since Yannie said nothing, Joshua squinted and continued plainly, “One hundred forty–eight thousand dollars–this is the price I offer.

“Don‘t be surprised. Your employee should be the one who decides the value of your work. I think you deserve this amount of money as a reward. So, if you agree with my request, feel free to accept the money. It‘s not a big deal.”

Yannie‘s heart thumped against her ribcage. Despite being attracted to a large amount of money, she lifted her head to look at Joshua. “May I know what you want me to do after I get close to Thomas?”

If it was something that Yannie could not accept...

Since Yannie seemed to have taken the bait, Joshua shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch and stared at Yannie‘s face. “It‘s not that hard. I just need you to get Thomas‘ hair, fingernail, or something that I could test his DNA on. There‘s something I want to test to rest assured.”

Yannie‘s eyes flashed with surprise. “Just...that?”

‘Isn‘t it a little too easy? No matter how powerful Thomas is, he‘s sure to drop some hair strands on a

daily basis. It‘s too easy to collect his hair if I see him every day.‘

Narrowing his eyes, Joshua replied, as if he could read Yannie‘s mind, “It‘s not that easy. For example, how would you know that a certain hair strand you see is actually his when you‘re around him?”

This effectively stunned Yannie. She bit her lip and thought for a while before nodding vehemently. “You‘re right.”

There was nothing special about Thomas‘ hair. He did not dye it, so it was just black in color. In addition, a superstar like him might be wearing a wig or hair clip. Thus, any hair that fell off his head might not be authentic.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2478 by desirenovel

Although Joshua was willing to spend 148000 dollars to have Yannie collect Thomas‘ hair and fingernail. the job attached to it was not as easy as it sounded.

Nonetheless, earning that sum would take a toll on Yannie, even if she worked her ass off. She was willing to take the risk and earn the money in a shorter period.

With that, Yannie took a deep breath and looked at Joshua earnestly. “I‘ll do my best.”

She hesitated for a long time before she resolutely took the black card from the coffee table and put it in her pocket. “Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lynch.”

She turned around and was ready to leave.

After just a few steps, however, a question popped into her mind. “Mr. Lynch, I don‘t know if I‘m allowed to ask a question, but I…”

“You want to know why I want you to retrieve a DNA specimen from Thomas,” Joshua gently interjected before Yannie could finish.

Yannie nodded. “Yes, I‘m quite...curious.”

Normally speaking, the need to undergo a DNA test was for...

“I suspect that Thomas has an illegitimate child in Merchant City.” Joshua squinted at Yannie. “Is that a good enough reason?”

Yannie‘s heart skipped a beat, unable to believe what she had just heard. ‘Thomas....has an illegitimate child?

However, the shocking reveal only stopped in her mind for a brief second. After that, she smiled bitterly.” Alright. I understood.”

Frankly speaking, nothing was astonishing about that. Thomas was a handsome, rich, and popular man. The number of women who liked him was enough to go around the earth once. H desire and needs, either.

If Thomas could sleep with her a year ago, when he could not see her appearance in the dark, what made her think he could not do the same to any other woman? Why would other women not find themselves in the same predicament, too?

It was just normal for Thomas to have an illegitimate child, perhaps even more than one.

Her child who died at birth was just one of his many illegitimate children.

Yannie felt her heart inexplicably aching. Still, she held the card in her pocket tightly. “Don‘t worry, Mr. Lynch. I‘ll finish the task.”

Since Thomas was a man that slept around with many women and she had delivered a baby of his, it would not hurt for her to use him to earn some money, right?

Even though the baby died during birth... Even if she did not agree to take on the job, Joshua would still think of another way or hire another person to do the job. Maybe she did not want to earn the money, but there were plenty of people who were willing to do it.

With those thoughts rumbling in her mind, Yannie took a deep breath and left Joshua‘s house.

“I got it, I got it!”

Once Yannie left the house, a reporter who had been hiding outside of Joshua‘s house took out his phone excitedly to make a call. “Mr. Quinn, I got the photo! Once Luna left the house, Yannie came to the house and stayed for half an hour before leaving. It appears that Joshua can only last for half an hour!”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2479 by desirenovel

By the time Luna arrived at the shopping mall‘s entrance, Gwen and Kate were chatting happily about Luke. Kate was interested in everything regarding Luke, while Gwen was not shy to share everything she knew with her.

Both of them chatted happily, and from afar, both of them looked like they were best friends who had known each other forever.

Only Luna knew that Gwen was not a person who could easily make friends. The only reason Gwen could get so close to Kate and talk with Kate, who had been eyeing Gwen‘s boyfriend for so long...was mainly because Gwen felt Kate was the best person to replace her to be with Luke upon her future escape.

Standing from afar, Luna looked at them and could not tell who was the pitiable one between them.

It was then that Gwen spotted Luna.

“Luna!” She smiled and waved at Luna. “Come on over!”

Luna hid her emotions and walked toward them.

Since Luna had arrived, Kate, who had been cheerfully chatting away with Gwen, quickly got on her feet and looked at Luna sheepishly. “Hey, Luna.”

“Hi.” Luna glanced at her slightly and forced a smile to greet Kate.

She just could not do it; she could not like Kate. Even if Gwen told her many reasons why she was not hostile to Kate, Luna could not bring herself to do the same.

“Since Lulu is here, let‘s get going!” Gwen smiled and got on her feet while she ignored the awkward atmosphere between Kate and Luna. She held Luna‘s hand on one side and Kate‘s hand on the other as they entered the shopping mall. “I haven‘t shopped for a long time!”

“Be careful, Gwen.” When there was a step in front of them, Kate instinctively grabbed Gwen. “Slow down.”

Gwen looked at the steps and laughed. “So thoughtful of you.”

She carefully went down the steps and looked at Luna with a smile. “Kate is a thoughtful and caring girl.”

Luna furrowed her eyebrows and nodded silently. She just could not be fond of Kate, regardless.

Gwen sighed and helplessly dragged the two women on a shopping spree.

For the entire afternoon, Gwen acted like a bird who regained its freedom and shopped without an end or tired. On the contrary, Luna and Kate, who accompanied her, were so tired that their legs hurt as beads of sweat riddled their foreheads.

Finally, Luna and Kate sat on the chair when they were in a clothing store with sore feet. They sighed together as they saw how excited Gwen was.

“I haven‘t felt so tired in a long time,” Luna could not help but lament.

Kate curled her lips into a smile. “Me too. Still, I‘m happy that I can accompany Gwen shopping. There might not be any chance in the future...”

Halfway through the sentence, Kate realized what she said and stopped talking.

However, it was too late. Luna had heard what Kate said and furrowed her eyebrows.

“No chance in the future? What do you mean?” Luna asked.

‘Is Kate leaving Merchant City to go back to her house? Or...does Kate know Gwen is leaving Luke and

wants to get on with Luke?‘

If Kate was leaving, Luna supposed she should apologize to Kate for misunderstanding Kate. If it was the latter... Luna might dislike Kate even more. Kate did not know how to react to Luna‘s question.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 2480 by desirenovel

After a while, Kate yawned and tried to skirt around the question. “No...nothing in particular. I was just saying, that‘s all.”

Luna stared at Kate‘s pale face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gwen‘s voice from far away.

“Hey, you two! Don‘t be lazy. Come and help me look at this!”

That was the best excuse for Kate to run away from answering Luna‘s question. She quickly dashed over.” I‘m coming!”

Luna furrowed her brows vehemently as she watched Kate walking toward Gwen.

When she returned home at night, she told Joshua about how much she disliked Kate. “I just don‘t like her. She knows Luke and Gwen are in love with each other, but she refuses to step back.”

At that time, Joshua was reading an email from his laptop. The email confirmed that the professionals who were going to operate for Luke and Gwen were from a medical organization from another country. The real owner of the medical organization was Kate‘s family.

His eyes glinted as he read the email.

It was as he expected. Luke promised the Miller family to look after Kate because they were the owner of the world‘s best organ transplant medical organization, not because of the Miller family‘s power and wealth.

As such, Luke started to plan the organ transplant a little more than a year ago. He did not lie to Joshua.

Performing the organ transplant was not just a whim; he made the decision after deep consideration.

“Anyway, I just can‘t bring myself to like Kate,” Luna continued with her complaint, and that brought Joshua back from his thoughts.

He closed his laptop and glanced at Luna, smiling. “There‘s nothing wrong with the girl wanting to stay beside the person she likes for a little more.”

Kate probably knew about Luke‘s plan, and that was why she continued to stay with Luke. Maybe she wanted to accompany Luke in his final days.

“It‘s not wrong, you say?” Luna pursed her lips. “Since she knows Luke doesn‘t like her, she should just leave and not be around to bother him when she knows Luke doesn‘t have any feelings for her.”

Joshua sighed and went over to cuddle with Luna. “Alright, don‘t bother about her. Luke and Gwen said nothing. Why do you have to be so worked up about it?”

Luna bit her lip and said nothing. Of course, she knew Gwen and Luke were not bothered with Kate‘s existence.

The fact that Kate knew Gwen was going to leave Luke yet stayed with them to replace Gwen...totally disgusted Luna. Luna could not find herself being fond of Kate.

Her impression of Kate was at the worst level. Extremely worse. Women‘s intuition was to blame, perhaps.

Luna felt Kate always look at Gwen with a cold expression, as if Kate had underlying intentions. However, Luna could not tell what Kate‘s intentions were.

“Enough. Let‘s not talk about her.” Joshua cuddled Luna and tried to divert the topic softly. “I have good

news to tell you.”

Luna furrowed her brow. “What‘s the good news?” “It‘s about... Riley‘s parent.”
