Ch. 381..390

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 381

The restaurant fell in instant silence.

Mr. Scott's eyes widened. He did not know what to say at that moment.

He did give his word that he, no matter what, would be responsible for Luna's actions if she got drunk.

However, at that moment...

The person Luna hit was Joshua Lynch's wife!

Who was Joshua Lynch? He was the king of Banyan City!

Although he was in Sea City at that moment and he did not seem that baleful, that did not mean he could be bullied!

On one hand, Mr. Scott was frantic. He stuttered and could not form his sentences.

On the other side, Alice buried herself in Joshua's arms with teary eyes. “Joshua, it hurts! “

Joshua furrowed his brows. He lowered his head and carefully pried Alice's hand away from her face.

A red handprint was visibly imprinted on her petite face.

A hint of rage flashed across Joshua's eyes. Although he was somewhat dissatisfied that Alice kept urging Luna to drink...

Alice was his wife, no matter what!

He gently hugged Alice in his arms while he shot Lucas a glance coldly. “Go get some medication here.“

Lucas, who was scared half to death by the side, came to his senses. He immediately left.

When Lucas left, Joshua lifted his eyes and looked at Luna coldly. “I might indulge you, but you need to know your limits as well! No matter how terrible Alice is, she's still my wife! You still have to treat her with respect! “

As the alcohol overwhelmed her, Luna looked at Joshua calmly with a blurry sight. “You didn't say a peep when Mrs. Lynch forced me to drink.“ Luna sneered coldly, “I've already said that I'd do things I shouldn't do when I'm drunk.“

She glanced at Mr. Scott condescendingly then at Alice in Joshua's arms. “None of you cared what I said, or about the things that I shouldn't have done. Why is everyone pointing fingers at me now that I'm drunk and doing those things? Why do all of you get to say what's right or wrong?“

Then, Luna picked up the wine glass once more drunkenly and downed it. “Didn't you want me to drink? I'll drink! “

Luna downed one glass after the other under Joshua's angry gaze.

Under the influence of alcohol, she has lost all her sensibility. In the end, Luna sneered and walked over to Joshua. She looked at Alice, who was in his arms, coldly. She instinctively raised her hands once more...

She had long wanted to do that!

This woman assumed her identity and tortured her kids. She even doubted her constantly with the worst possible malice!

“Luna! "

Joshua grabbed her hand tightly. He looked at Luna coldly and swung her hand aside. “Enough! Being drunk doesn't give you the excuse to do that! Even if you're drunk, I'll make sure you pay when you turn sober!"

“Pay?" sneered Luna as she repeated the word. After a while, she laughed and pointed at Alice. “

When she tortured Nellie and Neil, did she ever pay for that? How about when she made Neil and Nellie's stomachs uncomfortable, or when she got her friends to kidnap Neil and Nellie. Did she pay for it then? “Six-year-old children have been tortured by her in all ways, yet she hasn't paid for her crimes. Just because I slapped her once, I have to pay up?"

 

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 382

“Joshua Lynch, how heartless are you?“

Joshua and Alice's faces simultaneously turned green at Luna's words.

He glared at Luna and said nothing.

Luna smiled as she picked up the wine glass once more. With the help of the alcohol, she sneered.

“Six years ago, you hurt Luna Gibson so much that she almost lost her life, but now you're putting up this act of loving Alice. Who are you pretending for?“

Luna managed to utterly aggravate Joshua. “What nonsense are you talking about?“

Alice gritted her teeth. She immediately got out of Joshua's arms while he was in a rage.

She could not let Luna continue talking ! Luna had to stop talking!

She was afraid that the next sentence Luna said would be confessing to Joshua that she was the real Luna Gibson.

That would be a real catastrophe then!

At that thought, Alice gritted her teeth, lifted her hand, and slapped Luna brutally on the face.

Her slap was vicious and heavy.

The drunken Luna lost her balance. She hit the chair behind her and fell to the ground with the chair.

Crash!

It hurt. Not only her face but also her body.

Her abdomen and arm hit the corner of the chair. It was so painful that tears fell. She felt that her face must have turned swollen.

She could taste iron in her mouth.

“Ms. Luna...“

Mr. Scott was absolutely scared half to death by the scene before him. He could barely form his sentences.

Luna struggled to get up. Before she could say another word, Alice raised her hand once more.

“Alice.“

Joshua furrowed his brows and held her wrist with his uninjured left hand. “She slapped you once, and you've returned the favor. That's enough.“

Also, everyone could see that Alice's slap was much more violent. She slapped with murderous intent!

Alice bit her lips and looked at Joshua aggrievedly. “ Joshua, she'd slap me again if you don't stop her. “

She wiped away her tears. “Is she your wife, or am I? Why are you protecting her?“

Her words made Joshua's hand, which was holding onto hers, trembled a little.

Using this opportunity while Joshua was stunned, Alice immediately retracted her hand, aimed at Luna's face, and raised it once again.

Slam!

The room door was rammed open.

Theo immediately rushed in with an ominous disposition as he cradled Luna, whose lips bled, in his arms.

Alice's slap missed.

“Idiot. Don't you know how to dodge it?“

Theo hugged Luna in his arms, heartbroken as he did. After grumbling a little in a low voice, he frigidly raised his head. “Joshua, is this how you and your wife treat your exceptional staff?“

Joshua furrowed his brows. He lifted his hand and protected Alice, placing her behind him. His gaze was cold and arrogant. “This is between us. This has nothing to do with you.“

Theo smiled. “Nothing to do with me? I've already said that Luna is my girlfriend! “

Theo glared at Joshua. “You two brought her out on a business trip, then forced her to drink with Mr. Scott. Now that she's drunk, you bully her. I've never seen such bosses! “

“This is the working culture of the Lynch Group, huh?“ he jeered. “Now, I've finally seen it all! “

“Go home...“

The drunken Luna was in Theo's arms. With teary eyes, she muttered intoxicatedly, “Joshua, I want to go home...“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 383

Theo's hand that held Luna stalled a little.

“Joshua, I want to go home...“ Luna, in Theo's arms, subconsciously muttered once more.

She sounded wasted in her drunken state. What she said before, only Theo could hear, but what she muttered the next time, everyone heard it clearly.

Mr. Scott was stunned.

Alice's face started to turn pale, and she cautiously looked at Joshua at the corner of her eyes.

Joshua looked at Luna, and his gaze was deep. “She's drunk.“

Theo furrowed his brows and hoisted Luna upward instantly. He shot Joshua a glare before he walked off with Luna in his arms.

Joshua's gaze remained in the direction where they left, brows tightly furrowed, even when they had left.

“It looks like Luna truly is drunk...“ said Alice tentatively as she observed Joshua's reaction in fear.

Joshua flatly responded before looking elsewhere. He lowered his head and continued eating.

Looking at his perfectly handsome side profile, Alice smiled on the surface, but she inwardly gnashed her teeth.

That way, Luna's identity would be exposed sooner or later. She had to remove Luna from Joshua.

When they got out of the hotel, Luna kept yelling Joshua's name throughout the entire journey.

Theo did not know where her hotel was, so he simply brought her to an inn.

When they reached the room in the inn, Luna started hugging the toilet bowl and vomited into it.

The sight broke Theo's heart. He passed her some water. “Since you can't drink, why did you do it?

Even if others force you to drink, you don't have to bring it upon yourself, right?“

Luna looked up in a daze, her eyes glazed with tears. “But, today is the first time I get to join in a business event with Joshua after our marriage. His business partner asked me to drink, so how could I not drink? I don't want to be a burden to him. I don't want him to think that I'm useless.“

Luna then retched into the toilet bowl once more. Theo was baffled.

He looked at the woman in front of him and could not help but think back about what she said. The realization stunned him.

“You...“ He reached out and touched Luna's back. He gently tapped her. “Luna Gibson?“

“Hmm/“

Luna lifted her head and looked at him with tears and confusion in her eyes.

Theo was thunderstruck.

Luna.

Luna Gibson.

Also, Neil, Nellie, and Nigel, who was overseas. How did he not think of the connection?

After half an hour later, the intoxicated Luna finally slept under the care of Theo.

Theo watched as she slept soundly. He took a deep breath, walked to the balcony, and took out his phone to call Nigel.

“I know all about your identities."

Luna did not return to her hotel.

Once he bade farewell to Mr. Scott, the first thing Joshua did when he returned to the hotel was to inquire about Luna's whereabouts.

He asked the concierge and checked the security footage.

Theo did not send her back.

Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Lucas. “ Even if we have to dig up the entire Sea City, we have to get her back! "

“Yes."

Lucas nodded. He was about to leave when Alice blocked him in his way.

“Joshua, we don't need to go to such lengths just to find her, right? Theo took her away—she's not missing, per se."

Alice took a deep breath. She walked over and tugged on Joshua's arm. ”Furthermore , didn't Theo say it himself? He's her boyfriend. It's only normal that they went somewhere else to stay for the night after getting drunk.” Joshua narrowed his eyes. ”He's not her boyfriend.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 384

Joshua's low voice was aloof yet determined.

Alice gently chuckled. “Joshua, if Theo isn't her boyfriend, why did she not deny it vehemently when Theo claimed he was her boyfriend?“

Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at her. “Why did Luna not refuse you vehemently when you made her drink? Did she want to drink the alcohol?“

Alice's face turned a little pale. She wanted to say something else, but Joshua interrupted her.

He took a deep breath. “No matter what, I was the one who took Luna out on this business trip. She got drunk because of me. If anything is to happen to her tonight, I can't shed myself of the responsibility.“

Then, Joshua swept Lucas a cold glance. “What are you still standing here for? Go and search! “

Lucas hesitated for a while before he left quickly. Alice inwardly gritted her teeth.

“Joshua, you treat your staff so well...“

“Not good enough.“ Joshua's voice was cold. “If I did, she wouldn't have to drink on my behalf, ending up in this state.“

He shot Alice a flat stare. “I hope this incident tonight will be the last time that it happens. You have to remember that no matter what in the future, you can't gang up with outsiders to coerce our staff to drink.“

Alice nodded obediently. She buried her head in Joshua's arms and rubbed against him affectionately. “I know what I did was wrong. It won't happen again...“

Joshua let out a sigh of relief. Then, he turned and went to the toilet.

Alice narrowed her eyes.

She texted Hailey, (Search the entire city for Luna. She's drunk tonight. Do her a favor by getting a few men to satisfy her.]

“She's here! “

“Go, get them! “

That midnight, Luna was startled awake. The moment she opened her eyes, all she saw was the dark skies and the moonlight.

At that moment, she was on Theo's back, who was running for his life. There were footsteps following closely behind, too.

She croaked, “Theo— “

“Stop talking.“ Theo's breath was unsteady as he was running. “They're looking for you.“

Luna was rather baffled. She furrowed her brows confusedly. “If Joshua's men are looking for me, why should we run away from them?“

She got drunk because of Joshua. She was a staff of Joshua's. Perhaps Joshua was just looking for her to make sure that she was safe?

“They brought a few escorts with them.“

Theo's voice was filled with helplessness. “I don't know what the hell is Joshua thinking, but they knew that you were drunk, yet they still brought five or six escorts over looking for you. It's all fishy to me.“

Luna's brain blanked for a moment.

Five or six escorts.

She was an adult. Even if Theo did not explicitly say it out loud, she knew what they intended to do.

Joshua was trying to humiliate her that way while she was drunk!

A cold rage overwhelmed her. Her once intoxicated mind was instantly sobered.

Luna bit her lips. She reached out and grabbed Theo's shoulders.

“Why don't you put me down? I—I...can walk on my own.“

“It's fine. We're almost to the main road already. “ Theo took a deep breath. “I contacted my friends to pick us up.“

However, Theo did not expect that the moment they reached the main road, a black BMW stopped there, too.

Lucas got down from the car.

The footsteps behind them got closer. The group of people was almost catching up to them.

They were cornered from both directions.

Looking at Theo and Luna's pale face, Lucas leaned against the car door. ”Why are you two running?” he chided.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 386

Why did he never realize that Luna's figure was so similar to that girl's...?

The two of them ran for a long time when a black BMW stopped right before them. “Get in! “

The person in the car was Gwen's boyfriend, Ben.

Luna furrowed her brows. Before she could say anything, Theo opened the car door and pulled Luna into the car. “This is the friend that I said will be picking us up.“

Time was pressing and Luna had no time to ask too many questions, so she immediately got in the car.

Ben took them to a villa residence in the suburbs near Sea City.

“This is Gwen and mine's new home. There aren't many people staying in this small area, so it should be safe.“

Once they got out of the car, Ben led Luna and Theo into the new villa with familiarity. “Gwen heard that someone was drunk, so she has prepared some soup to sober you all up.“

It was then Ben swept Luna a cold glance. “I just didn't expect that the drunk friend Master Allen mentioned is you.“

“I didn't think that the extremely reliable friend Theo referred to would be you, either,“ scoffed Luna.

She took a deep breath, turned, and was about to leave. “Thank you for helping us get out of this mess, Mr. Zeller, but I won't be visiting your home.“

Although Gwen and Luna were desk partners in high school, she was no longer that to Gwen but was the mistress who stole Luna Gibson's husband.

The two times she met up with Gwen were unhappy incidents. Luna did not plan to disturb her anymore.

“We're already here.“ Theo furrowed his brows as he grabbed Luna's wrist. “Joshua's men are still looking for you, too. What if you head out now and they capture you? Why don't we head in first.“

Luna hesitated for a while. In the end, she sighed and followed Theo and Ben into Gwen's house.

They were right.

Joshua's men wanted to do things to her while she was drunk.

Before dawn, if they caught her, even if she said she was not drunk, they still would not let her go that easily, would they?

Ben and Gwen's new home was a three-story villa.

Luna was just changing her shoes by the entrance when Gwen came rushing out from the kitchen in an apron. “Have you picked up Master Allen and his friend?“

“Yes.“

Gwen greeted them passionately, “Master Allen's friend...“

When she saw Luna, her smile immediately vanished.

She glared at Luna coldly. “Why is this woman here?“

Ben turned around and took off his coat. “She is Master Allen's friend.“

“Tsk, tsk,“ Gwen scoffed. “It looks like you're a pro, Ms. Luna. First, you seduce someone's husband and steal my high school best friend's husband, now you're targeting Master Allen?“

Luna paused for a while.

After a moment, she smiled gently and looked at Theo. “Now you know why I don't want to come? “

Theo did not expect that it would be this way when Luna and Gwen met.

He gently cleared his throat and protected Luna, placing her behind him. “Gwen, please don't say that. It'll hurt Luna.“

Gwen harrumphed coldly, and she rolled her eyes at Luna. “Did she not know it would hurt others when she stole other people's husbands?“

Then, she raised her eyes and looked at Theo. “ Master Allen, I respect you a lot as a painter. When you said that you wanted to look for my high school friend, Luna Gibson, I was willing to help you, too. That was why we became friends, but how dare you get yourself acquainted with Luna's love rival? If you're friends with her, I can't invite you into my house as a guest.“

Theo turned around and held Luna's wrist. He smiled. “How sure are you that Alice is Luna Gibson?“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 388

Gwen took a deep breath and pounced right at Luna, hugging her in her arms.

“I should've guessed it sooner! I should have! “

Luna could no longer hold back her tears. She raised her hand and patted Gwen's back. “Can you help me keep a secret?“ she pleaded softly.

Gwen nodded as tears streamed down her face. “ Mmh! Don't worry! Ben and I won't tell anyone! “

Then, Gwen looked at Luna's flawless face. “W— Why have you changed to a different face?“

Luna smiled. “Because I fell in love with someone I shouldn't have fallen in love with.“

“Come in and have some tea.“

Ben was rather excited, too. He poured the tea and got the three of them to come over.

That night, Luna and Gwen chatted for a long time. It was at three in the morning when Gwen could no longer take it that she went upstairs to sleep.

Luna and Theo were arranged in the guest room on the third floor.

Two separate rooms with two separate balconies.

Unable to sleep, Luna went to the balcony to look up at the stars. It was a coincidence that Theo was also there by the balcony.

The two of them were separated by a railing. After greeting each other, Luna could no longer hold back the question that baffled her the entire night.

“How did you know I was— “

“You said it yourself.“ Theo interrupted her before she finished. “You really can't hold your liquor. You got drunk and started calling for Joshua.“

Luna shuddered. She knew that her alcohol tolerance was not great, so for the past few years, even if she had to drink, she would control her alcohol intake so she would not get drunk.

Other than Granny Lynch's birthday banquet previously, this was the second time.

The last time, she was lucky that she did not slip up in her drunkenness. This time, her luck was not so great.

“Don't simply take any alcohol in the future. “ Theo calmly looked up at the skies. “If it's hard to say no, you can call me for help while drinking. They call me the thousand-drink guy.“

Looking at his side profile, Luna chuckled a little as she gazed at his side-profile before she, too, turned to look at the starry sky. “Thank you.“

If Theo did not appear that night, she did not know what would have happened. What would happen if she got drunk and her lies were exposed?

What if she got drunk and Joshua got those men to...

“No need to thank me.“ Allen smiled. “I should thank you instead. You helped me find the girl in the painting.“

Then, he turned over to look at her. “I always thought that you were very mysterious. Today, not only did I know that you're mysterious, but you're also very strong and have been enduring silently.

You're also a good mother.“

Luna closed her eyes and laughed a little. She said nothing.

The two of them stood there by the balcony in silence and gazed at the stars until dawn. Then, they returned to their respective rooms and went to bed.

Around ten in the morning, Luna was woken up by knocks on her door.

It was Gwen.

“Luna! “ Gwen sounded extremely anxious outside the door. “Please wake up! Joshua is here! “

Upon hearing Joshua's name, Luna immediately snapped awake from her dreams.

She immediately got down from the bed and opened the door. “What's going on?“

“This morning, Joshua seemed to have gone crazy. He hired all of Sea City's biggest gang to search for you all over the city! He even offered a high price on you. Whoever could locate you, he'd give them one million in cash!

“I don't know who leaked the news that you and Master Allen are in my house. Joshua's here right now.“

Gwen bit her lips, and her eyes reddened. “He's downstairs now. He captured Ben, forcing me to hand you over to him. He even said that if you're not going to appear, he'll beat Ben to death... ”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 389

Luna felt as if she was doused  with ice -cold water.

Gwen grabbed her hand, her voice filled with anxiety.

“Luna, w—why don't you...head down to have a look? Joshua doesn't look like he was joking. Ben...“

Luna looked at Gwen, but her voice sounded as if it came from another dimension.

She had thought of how Joshua might get angry at her for escaping, but she never would have thought that...

That he would be so extreme.

He hired the biggest gangs in Sea City and put a bounty on her. Then, he came to Gwen's house and threatened her with Ben's life.

Why was he so angry that she escaped last night? Was he so angry that he had to spend so much effort to get her back?

Luna bit her lips harshly.

After a while, she composed herself and grabbed Gwen's hand with her other hand.

“Don't worry. I'll...“

She looked at the reflection of herself on the glass in the corridor. Her hair was in a mess.

“I 'll clean up and head down. Go down for now, and tell Joshua that I'll see him immediately. Ask him

not to do anything rash to Ben.“

Gwen bit her lip as she looked up at Luna, her eyes filled with worries. “Will you be alright if he captures you?“

“I'll be fine.“ Luna smiled. “He's only doing this for Alice. He won't do anything to me. Don't worry.“

Gwen took a deep breath when she heard Luna's answers. She turned and headed downstairs.

After she left, Luna carefully walked to the railings and sneakily peeped at the situation downstairs.

The living room was in dead silence.

The men in black seemed to have blocked all the light in the living room.

Joshua sat arrogantly on the sofa, emperor-like as h e leaned back. His movements were languid while his eyes were cold and domineering.

In front of him was Ben, forced to the ground by a few men in black as he knelt.

His leg seemed to be injured. There was blood all over the floor.

It was a daunting sight to behold.

Luna gripped the railings so tightly that her knuckles turned white.

Joshua Lynch.

When that man wanted to be cruel, he could be so vicious that it was shocking.

Who would have thought that he made such a big deal out of it because she slapped Alice twice under the influence of alcohol?

He tried to stand up for his little, petite wife. He wanted to hire a few escorts to ruin her name, was it not?

Luna bit her lips. She grew ruthless and went straight back to her room.

She simply washed her face and let her hair down. Then, she used the make-up on Gwen's dressing table to put on some make-up.

Did Joshua not want her to do inappropriate things with the male escorts to avenge Alice?

She did not want him to have his way!

After getting everything ready, Luna hesitated for a while. In the end, she still took off her clothes.

Only in her lingerie, she put on a red trench coat. Luna looked at herself in the mirror, satisfied.

She showed off her long, slender legs from the slit of the trench coat. It was devilishly bewitching.

After three years of married life with Joshua back then, she knew what his kinks and likes were.

He used to love her pair of legs to death.

After getting everything ready, Luna took a deep breath and walked downstairs.

The atmosphere downstairs was eerily silent.

The further down she walked, the stronger the smell of blood was.

Upon hearing her footsteps, Joshua calmly looked in her direction. What he saw were her long, slender legs. She was in a red trench coat and red high heels. She was in heavy make -up, but it did not look vulgar at all. Instead, he was highly attracted to her.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 390

Joshua frowned harshly as he sized her up with a complicated gaze.

She had dark circles under her eyes. While it looked like she did not sleep well the night before, it seemed like she was not hurt.

Joshua let out an inconspicuous sigh of relief.

“Luna.“

Gwen sat on the floor by the side as she held Ben tightly. She looked at Luna with reddened eyes.

Ben's leg still bled at that point.

Luna pursed her lips and calmly looked at Joshua.

“Mr. Lynch, you were looking for me, so I 'm here now. You don't have to cause them any more trouble.“

Then, she looked at the blood on the floor and furrowed her brows tightly. “Go see a doctor.“

Gwen bit her lips and looked at Joshua fearfully.

Without Joshua's approval, she would not even dare to dress Ben's wounds.

Joshua calmly looked at Ben, who was pale due to blood loss, then at Gwen next to Ben. He slowly smiled. “Go straight to the hospital.“

Gwen paused a little.

It was their home. If she was to take Ben to the hospital, would Joshua not be able to do whatever he

wanted to do then?

After a moment, she changed her thoughts. Even if Ben and she were at home, Joshua still had the power to do whatever he wanted to do in her house.

At that thought, she helped Ben up. “Let's go.“

Zach immediately rushed over to help Ben and supported him on the other side. He and Gwen took Ben and left.

Seeing Zach, Luna subconsciously looked at the men behind Joshua.

Lucas was there. The other people from the night before were there, too.

Only Yuri was not there.

Luna felt as if something sharp pricked her brain. Last night, when she and Theo escaped, Yuri hit Lucas unconscious. He also stopped the others from going after her.

A bad feeling loomed over her.

Luna took a deep breath. She walked over and pried the bodyguards in black apart. She gracefully walked over to Joshua.

“Mr. Lynch, you went through so much effort just to look for me. Those who know would know that you're still angry at me. Those who don't will think that you've fallen in love with me.“

Joshua glared at Luna with his deep gaze. “You know that I'm angry at you, too?“

It was one thing when she was taken away by Theo while intoxicated the night before.

However, when Lucas went to look for her, she was already sober.

Not only did she ignore Lucas' concerns to follow him back to the hotel, but she also ganged up with Yuri, hit Lucas unconscious, then escaped with Theo.

Theo ended up sending her here!

Sea City was a foreign place to her. She knew no one, while Theo had inappropriate intentions against her. Joshua did not sleep well the night before.

That morning, he spent a huge amount of money and human resources to get all the gangs in Sea City to look for her. Only then did he find out that Theo had brought her to Ben Zeller's house.

He has not much of an impression of Ben, but he clearly remembered that Ben's wife, Gwen Larson had spoken out against Luna a few times.

Even the pinhole camera incident in Luna's room previously. It had to do with Gwen and her father, Andy.

Joshua was worried for her. He immediately rushed over at first notice to capture Ben and forced Gwen to hand Luna over.

It turned out that not only was Luna ungrateful to him, but she also treated him coldly.

It was as if he was not there to help her, but to hurt her!

“What should I do to appease you, Mr. Lynch?“

Luna smiled a little. She swept a glance at the burly bodyguards. Then, she unbuttoned her trench coat.

Her trench coat fell to the floor. Luna's fair skin was exposed to the air.

Did Joshua not want her to do those inappropriate things with those escorts to humiliate her, so he could avenge Alice?

She refused to let him do so!

She laughed seductively and immediately sat on Joshua's lap. Her tone was rather mischievous. “ Would you be appeased this way?"

They might have forced her to choose the escorts, but she chose Joshua instead!
