Ch. 391..400
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 391
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly turned weird.
Joshua did not react in time to Luna's sudden movements. His body's instincts were much faster than the brain's reasoning.
He looked at her fair neck and those flaming red lips. He looked at her closer.
In the living room, not only Joshua studied her. Almost everyone else did as well.
The bodyguards were all stunned.
How bold of her to do that! Still...she had a great figure, too!
Noticing the bodyguards' gaze on Luna, Joshua furrowed his brows tightly as he growled, “Turn around! “
The bodyguards immediately obeyed and turned around in unison. No one dared to peep at Luna anymore.
Joshua angrily took the thin blanket on the sofa and covered Luna. “Have you gone nuts?“
When she still had her trench coat on, he could only make out her long legs.
He thought that she would have worn a pair of shorts or a short skirt underneath her coat.
At that moment, when he saw her...
“I 'm not crazy. “ Luna smiled. She boldly bent down and gently kissed Joshua behind the ear. Her voice was seductive and sweet, with rising inflections. “Mr. Lynch, aren't you trying to destroy me? Didn't you want other people to defile me? Rather than letting other people do it then spreading the photos of other people and me together, I'd rather let you have it all.“
Then, she went closer to his ears, and her hot breath fanned them. “After all, this isn't the first time you and I did it together, right?“
What on earth was she talking about? Joshua furrowed his brows.
He knew he should be sensible at that moment. He should ask her why she would shamelessly strip in front of so many people, seducing him.
He also should have asked her what she meant by defiling her and the photos.
However, his body told him otherwise. He was going crazy for her.
He reached out and clasped Luna's neck tightly. “Do you know what you're saying and what you're doing?“ he hissed with a raspy, suppressed voice.
Luna smiled and raised her hand. She mimicked Joshua as she clasped her own neck, her red lips curved into a smile. “How about you, Mr. Lynch? Do you know what you're doing and saying now?“
They looked at each other.
One with an intense gaze, the other with a burning passion.
They were hooked.
Joshua immediately carried Luna in his arms and hugged her tightly in his arms. “Which floor?“
He asked her which room she slept in the night before.
Luna gently nibbled on his ear. “Third floor.“ The moment she bit his ear, Joshua shuddered.
The next second, he immediately lifted her up and strode upstairs.
Seeing Joshua leaving with Luna in his arms, one of the bodyguards furrowed his brows.
“Mr.— “
Before he could even mutter Mr. Lynch, Lucas immediately glared at him.
The bodyguard's head sank rather sheepishly. “But, Mrs. Lynch is still waiting for Mr. Lynch to go back to the hotel...“
Lucas harrumphed coldly. “You've no right to meddle in what Mr. Lynch is doing! “
The bodyguard's mouth gaped open, but he said nothing.
At an angle where no one could see, the bodyguard picked up his phone and secretly sent a message.
In the hotel...
Alice paced back and forth anxiously in her room. Joshua had abandoned her early that morning.
The entire night before, Joshua was in the study room and contacted Lucas remotely, looking for Luna.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 392
Joshua left Alice alone early in the morning and led a huge group to search for Luna.
He hired the gangs in Sea City to help him, all for that woman.
He even put a bounty on her head!
The news from the bodyguards was even more shocking, one after the other!
Each piece of news was enough for her to want to chop up that b*tch into a million pieces!
How could there be such a horrible b*tch in the world?
Joshua clearly made up his mind that she was Luna Gibson and that she was his wife, so why did Luna so despicably stick around?
Suddenly, her phone rang.
As she read the message on her phone, Alice's eyes widened.
A moment later, she angrily threw her phone to the side.
Slam!
The phone hit the wall.
The loud sound made the other person in the room cower uncontrollably.
After a long while, Hailey carefully raised her head and looked at Alice. “Miss, what happened?"
Alice angrily furrowed her brows as she sat on the sofa.
“Luna seduced Joshua. They're in bed now.“
Hailey was so stunned that she forgot how to react.
After a moment, she bit her lips. “What should we do? Should we rush over and catch them red- handed?“
Alice coldly glared at her. “Why should we expose them?“
In truth, Alice knew all too well that Joshua's feelings for her were not always very stable.
The only reason why he wanted to remain as husband and wife and willing to indulge in her doings for so long was that he felt guilty toward Luna Gibson.
For the past six years, because of his guilt and love for Luna Gibson, he could not actively cut off the relationship.
However, if she were to expose him, that was equal to giving Joshua a perfect reason to break up.
She would never do such a stupid thing!
“But...“ Hailey furrowed her brows. “How can you bear this?“
“Of course, I can't.“
Alice furrowed her brows. She raised her eyes and looked at Hailey. “Do you still remember the photos I sent you a few days ago of Luna seducing Joshua? Select a few and publish them. Make sure that the
photos that you publish show everyone that Luna is seducing Joshua.“
“Yes.“
“Also.“ Alice furrowed her brows and looked into the distance. “Help me check and see which hospital Gwen took Ben to. I want to pay my two old friends a visit.“
In the guest room on the third floor of the villa, Luna laid on the bed, exhausted as she quietly looked at the ceiling in a daze.
An hour ago, she was filled with gusto and wanted to send Joshua to hell.
An hour later, she was like a fish about to die and was sent to hell by Joshua, over and over again.
“What did you mean by the things you said just now?“
She flipped to the side. Joshua, in an undressed state, leaned against the head of the bed as he smoked with unkempt hair.
Luna did not even bother to look at him. “Why play dumb with me, Mr. Lynch? Don't you think I know why you got Lucas to take me back last night?“
Luna smiled indifferently. “Tell me, Joshua. Are you heartless or what? Even if we don't have any relationship between us, we're still considered old friends in bed, right? Why did you have to get five to six escorts to sleep with me just to avenge Alice?“
She then shot Joshua an aloof glare. “You sure do think highly of me.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 393
Luna's eyes seemed to smile as she spoke. Her tone was relaxed, too.
However, only she would know how much in despair she was and how cold her heart was.
Even if she knew Joshua's plans and arrangements, she could not confront Joshua directly. Nigel still waited for her to rescue him.
She could not let her momentary emotions spoil her entire plan!
With that in mind, Luna could only use this way of pretending to be relaxed to get closer to Joshua. She brushed the incident off casually.
After all, she had slept with him—everyone witnessed it downstairs. She guessed that Joshua could not possibly send her to those escorts anymore.
However, Luna did not expect that Joshua would continue to play dumb with her.
Joshua's eyes narrowed a little. He looked at her with a rather complicated gaze. “What are you talking about?“
Luna was stunned. She looked at Joshua, and she suddenly felt that pretending to be relaxed made it seem quite comical.
It turned out that when she tried her best to find a way for Joshua to excuse his actions, he chose to play dumb instead.
Indeed, playing dumb was a much better way than her crass tactics.
“Just forget about it.“ She yawned. “Mr. Lynch, I didn't sleep well last night. Can I continue sleeping for a little while?“
Joshua casually put out the cigarette in between his fingers. “Here? In Gwen and Ben Zeller's house?“
He calmly swept Luna a gaze. “Since when were you so friendly with them?“
When he heard that Luna was in their house that morning, he was still worried that Gwen and Ben might do something inappropriate to Luna.
However, not only did she appear in front of him in one piece, but she also decided to continue staying in Gwen's house after vigorous sex.
Her casual, lazy attitude was as if she and Gwen were long-time good friends.
Luna closed her eyes.
“It's because of Theo. Theo and Ben are friends. I have to respect them, so we shook on it and became friends.“
“That simple?“
“Of course.“
Luna rolled her eyes and got out of bed, still in her lingerie. Like previously, she put on her trench coat and headed outside.
“Since you don't want me to stay here, I'll follow you back, Mr. Lynch.“
Seeing her walking to the door, Joshua furrowed his brows hard and called after her, “Come back.“
Luna stopped in her tracks. She turned back and raised her eyebrow, looking at him.
Joshua threw Luna's clothes by the bedside over to her with a darkened expression. “Put them on.“
Luna rolled her eyes.
She bent down, picked them up, and started putting on her clothes with her back facing Joshua.
Her slender waist did not have an ounce of fat. She was so delicate and beautiful that she looked like a statue.
When she faced her back toward him, Joshua noticed a thin, long scar on her back. He furrowed his brows slightly.
He never noticed that she had a scar like that.
“What happened...to your back?“ Joshua decided to ask after a long while of hesitation.
Luna's hand paused a little as she buttoned up. The scar on her back was caused by the accident.
Because the wound was too deep, even with the best cosmetic surgery, there would still be a long thin scar.
When she was recuperating, she could not even lie down properly because of the wound on her back.
At the thought of those painful, helpless days at that moment, her heart would still grow cold.
When he noticed how she did not answer him, Joshua asked once more. Luna took a deep breath. She turned around and smiled at him. “I used to like climbing trees when I was young. I got this scar from falling down a tree."
She was clearly lying, but Joshua was too lazy to expose her for it.
After putting on her clothes, Luna stood by the door and spun around. “Can we go now?"
Joshua furrowed his brows. He took a glance at her thick and provocative make -up. “Go remove your make-up."
Luna rolled her eyes and him once more before she turned and headed into the bathroom.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 394
When he heard the sounds of water in the bathroom, Joshua closed his eyes and sighed.
At that moment, his phone rang.
It was news from Lucas downstairs.
“Sir, I've checked on it. Theo is currently in the police station, and he's accusing us of premeditated harm toward Luna. According to his statement, two groups were chasing after them, trapping him and Luna from the front and back. They had to fight for their lives to escape. He also said...“
Lucas was silent for a while. He cleared his throat gently.
“He also said that we brought five escorts and that we planned on using the escorts to defile Luna, then take a video of her with them to threaten her.“
Lucas furrowed his brows. “No wonder he's an artist. What vivid imagination he has...“
With his brows furrowed a little, Joshua gripped his phone tighter.
He glanced at the bathroom. Luna's words a moment ago haunted his ears.
“Why did you have to get five to six escorts to sleep with me just to avenge Alice? You sure do think highly of me.“
Joshua lifted his hands and rubbed the middle of his brows.
He somewhat understood why Luna was so crazy that day, stripping in public and boldly seducing him. It turned out...
Joshua closed his eyes and sighed. “Go investigate this.“
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while.
“Sir, you want to check into this matter? It's obvious that the painter is trying to slander us! We never even— “
“What if someone has been using our name?“ Joshua coldly interrupted him.
“Theo isn't someone who likes to lie. Luna's not someone who'd be easily tricked by a lie, too.“
If both of them were so sure about this, that proved that someone was indeed chasing after them the night before.
“ ..Yes,“ Lucas replied depressingly and hung up.
When Joshua kept his phone, Luna also finished removing her make-up and got out of the bathroom.
It was totally different from a moment ago. Luna's face was no longer caked with make-up, yet she was still so gorgeous that one could not take their eyes off of her.
Joshua looked at her for a while before giving her an indifferent glare. “Let's go.“
Luna pursed her lips and immediately followed him closely, going downstairs.
Downstairs, Lucas was already gone.
Once the bodyguards downstairs noticed Joshua and Luna coming down, they could not help but lower their heads. They did not dare look at Luna.
Luna pursed her lips and gracefully followed Joshua into the car.
Once the car started, she tiredly let out a yawn and casually lowered her eyes.
She noticed that Joshua's right arm was bleeding. Blood seeped through the sleeve.
Luna hesitated a little. She suddenly thought of the incident at the factory the day before. If it were not for Joshua pushing her away in time, the rock would have shot firmly at her back.
The least she would suffer were injuries; the worst case was paralysis.
She looked at the bleeding wound and bit her lips.
What on earth was Joshua like as a person? He could heroically rescue her when she was in danger, yet he could also treat her in the most despicable way just because she hit the woman that he loves.
“Last night.“
Seeing her looking at his injuries, Joshua furrowed his brows a little. He cleared his throat. “Last night, I did indeed get Lucas to look for you.“ Luna instantly felt suffocated at Joshua's words.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 395
Luna turned around and looked out of the window. She did not dare meet Joshua's gaze.
Joshua took a deep breath and looked at the back of her head.
“Last night, I...I was worried that Theo would do inappropriate things to you after he took you away while you were drunk, so I got Lucas to look for you.“
Luna almost laughed out loud.
She turned around and looked at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, are you trying to humor me? Because you were worried that Theo would do something to me, you got Lucas and five other escorts to chase after me to defile me and take pictures so you could stand up for Alice?“
Luna looked at him with cold hatred in her eyes. “Mr. Lynch, are you always that cruel to the women you have sexual relationships with?“
Joshua's eyes darkened.
He furrowed his brows. “I'm only trying to explain to you. I didn't hire any escorts last night. Lucas only took Zach, Yuri, and a few other bodyguards.“
Joshua glared at Luna coldly. “Do you understand what I'm saying?“
Luna smiled.
“You don't have to explain yourself. Didn't I already give you an out just now? You, want to punish me?
I've already paid you back on the bed just now. I've even given you an excuse, and I would've forgotten the incident last night entirely had you not brought it up.“
Luna's smile was indifferent and cruel. “I don't even care about this matter anymore, even if I'm the victim. So, Mr. Lynch, you don't have to lie to protect your great image.“
Joshua furrowed his brows even tighter.
He could not help but reach out and clutched Luna's neck. “Luna, has the water gone to your brain?“
His grip was so strong that Luna was in so much pain. Her brows knitted tightly with it.
She looked up and met Joshua's endless gaze. “Yes, I'm brainless. That's why I was stupid enough to appease you with my body even when you're scheming against me, to then find a way out for you! “
Her voice was frigidly cold. There was no trace of the warmth that she used to feel for him.
Joshua glared at Luna's petite, palm-sized face.
When she retorted at him, she was like a freshly plucked rose: red, striking, and thorny.
He looked at her red lips.
After a while, he dove in and fiercely kissed her.
His kiss was filled with rage. Luna instinctively tried to struggle, but how was she his match?
Even on normal days, she could not break free from his shackles, what more alone at that moment, when
she had not even had breakfast. Furthermore, she was ravaged by him also a moment ago.
Joshua's kiss was fierce and heavy. He bit her lips as if trying to punish her.
Blood and pain washed over Luna. She furrowed her brows and instinctively pushed him.
“Gasp! “
When Luna pressed onto Joshua's right arm, he frowned deeply. His face was slightly distorted as he let Luna go.
Luna was slightly stunned, and she subconsciously looked up.
His right arm bled even more.
The fresh red blood seeped into his white shirt in a sultry yet fragile way.
Joshua furrowed his brows. He looked at Luna curtly without saying anything.
Luna bit her lip before she then scooted away from him a little. She was almost pressed up against the car door.
She furrowed her brows and looked at the blood on his arm.
“Should you go to the hospital?“ Luna saw it herself how heavily injured his arm was the day before. No matter what, he got injured because of her. Although he might be despicable, she should not have torn his wound open.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 396
However...
She had forgotten he got injured because of her back there.
She did not do it on purpose.
“No need.“ Joshua looked at her with darkened eyes. He then turned to the back compartment of the car and took a packet of tissues. He drew a piece of tissue out.
Luna furrowed her brows and watched his every move, blurting, “You should deal with it once you're back in the hotel. The tissue won't be able to wipe it off cleanly.“
Joshua could not help but snicker at Luna's words. “There's no water in my brain.“
He passed the tissue to her. “Wipe it off.“
Luna paused a little, not understanding what he meant.
Seeing how she did not respond, Joshua furrowed his brows and turned around. He used the tissue and wiped Luna's mouth with force.
The white tissue was dyed red with fresh blood.
Only then did Luna remember that when he kissed her with force a moment ago, he bit her lips.
She pursed her lips and looked at him. She took the tissue and wiped off the remaining splotches of blood on her lips.
When she unintentionally touched the wound that Joshua bit open a moment ago, she furrowed her brows in pain.
“I was saying...“
When she was seriously wiping blood off her lips, Joshua's cold, magnetic voice rang out once more, “I didn't get Lucas to bring escorts to look for you. I 'm not that petty. I won't ruin your life just because you slapped Alice.“
Joshua eyed Luna bitterly. “Luna, am I such a cruel person to you?“
Luna lowered her head and ignored him. Was he not a cruel person?
Among all the people that she knew, he was the only one who was cruel.
Seeing her not responding, Joshua sighed once again.
“Theo went to the police station to file a report this morning. He said that I intended to destroy you while you were drunk. The Sea City police force is taking this matter seriously, and that's why he's still in the police station, giving a detailed statement.
The police aren't the only ones who'll investigate this matter. I'll investigate this for you, too.“
Luna looked up at him. Joshua's eyes were deep. From his look...
She felt that he was not lying to her.
However, the pursuers last night clearly mentioned
that Joshua was the one who sent them.
Not only did she hear it from Theo, but she also heard it herself that the pursuers mentioned Joshua's name.
If they were not his men, then who would be so bold as to impersonate him and chase after her all over Sea City?
Not long after, the car arrived at the hotel.
Exiting the elevator, Luna immediately took her key card and headed to her room.
She planned to have a good shower and collect her thoughts before she could properly analyze what Joshua said.
However, she did not expect that the moment she opened her door, Joshua immediately squeezed past her into her room and sat on the sofa.
She stood by the entrance. “Mr. Lynch, this is my room.“
Joshua ignored her. He unbuttoned his shirt.
Luna furrowed her brows. “Joshua, what are you doing?“
He swept her a glance and undressed the bandage that was drenched with blood.
“Help me apply some medication.“
Luna was taken aback as she chewed on her lip. Hesitant, she then closed the door and walked to him.
She took the first aid kit and sat next to him. “ Shouldn't Mrs. Lynch help you do this?“ she scoffed as she searched for medication. Joshua laughed.
”You want me to take off my shirt and show her the marks you left on my body?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 397
Luna instantly blushed.
She laid her eyes on the bite marks on Joshua's left shoulder.
When they were deep in the throes of passion, she bit his shoulder harshly out of anger for the things he did the night before. It left a mark.
She did not know what went through her head back there. Perhaps she felt that since Joshua was willing to treat her that way all because of Alice, she was going to leave a mark on Joshua's body for Alice to see!
However...
If the truth was as Joshua said, someone was impersonating him, hiring escorts to chase after her She was at a huge loss.
Not only did she make the first move, letting Joshua eat her up, but she also left a mark on his body.
If Alice saw it and got angry, it would be huge trouble.
At that thought, Luna's eyes darkened. She carefully dressed his wounds as she murmured, “I was angry at that time...“
“Mmh. “ Joshua flatly smiled. “Just because of your momentary anger, you'll have to be in charge of applying medication for me for the next few days.“
Luna nodded. “Okay.“
He got injured because of her. It was only right that she took care of him.
Furthermore, if she truly misunderstood him, it would be wise to not Alice see the bite marks on his shoulders to save her unnecessary troubles.
Rumble!
Not long after applying medication for her, a rumble rang out gently in the room.
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Luna.
Luna chuckled rather stiffly. “I barely had anything last night. I only drank, but I then puked a few rounds at the hotel. I haven't had any food up till now...“
Being hungry was not an embarrassment, was it?
Joshua chuckled gently. He picked the phone up and dialed Lucas. “Send us some food.“
Lucas nodded. “Is it for you only? Or, for you and Mrs. Lynch?“
“It's for me and Luna. Send it over to Luna's room.“
Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while. “Okay.“
When Joshua hung up, Luna still dressed his wound with a clean bandage. As she concentrated on dressing his wound, she calmly asked, “You haven't had any food, too?“
“Yes.“
Joshua's voice was calm. “I had a business meeting with the local gangs in Sea City this morning. Once I got the news, I immediately rushed to Ben's house. Do you think I'd have the time to eat?“
Luna pursed her lips and said nothing.
After a while, she took a deep breath. “Is Ben's leg...alright?“
She still remembered how Ben knelt on the floor when she got downstairs. The marble floor was covered in his blood.
“Nothing much.“ Joshua lightly furrowed his brows. “The local gang only cut him open a little.“
Luna paused a little. “D—Did...you get them to do i bill
Joshua swept her a glance. He did not answer her question.
“I initially thought that you didn't get along well with Ben and his wife. I was afraid that they'd hurt you in their home, and that was why I rushed over to look for you. Who would've thought.“
Joshua swept Luna a glance. “Not only were you not hurt, but you were also living comfortably in their home. I'm curious.“
Joshua changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa. He fixed his gaze on Luna. “Gwen always had a conflict with you every time she met you. She's Alice's best friend. She'd want to beat you up on Alice's behalf every time she saw you.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 398
“Why did she choose to protect you this time?“
Luna turned her head aside; she did not dare to look at Joshua. “As I said, it's because of Theo.“
Joshua's gaze was too aggressive.
His dangerous gaze made Luna feel as if her secret would be exposed the very next second.
“Do you think I 'd buy that?“ Joshua sneered. “Theo is indeed an artist that Gwen and Ben like, but the main reason they like Theo is because of Alice.
Because Alice likes him, the two of them got to know Theo's work and like his art.“
Joshua looked at Luna's face. He wanted to see what sort of person she was from her face.
“Ben and Gwen wouldn't have betrayed Alice because of Theo.“
Luna bit her lips. She did not know how to answer at that moment, so she took a deep breath and turned to look at him. “You haven't told me. Did you get those men to hurt Ben?“
Joshua looked at her. His gaze was ice-cold and ambiguous. “What do you think?“
Luna wanted to say that she thought that Joshua was the one who ordered them to do so.
However, she wanted to see what sort of lie he could come up with, so she chuckled. “What I think is not the truth. It's just like how I thought you would not
get me to drink at an event like last night, but I still drank in the end, isn't it?“
Joshua's gaze fiercely stalled. After a moment, he turned his head away from her and averted his gaze.
“I didn't get those men to do it.“
His tone was cold and indifferent. “Those people are the local gangs of Sea City. Ben is a local businessman and is also the son-in-law of Andy Larson. The Larsons had a feud with the gangs, so the gangs were just finding a reason to take it out on Ben.“
He cleared his throat. “I got in touch with the gangs mainly to look for you and Theo. I didn't know that you two would be in Ben's house. I was also not clear that Ben and the local gangs had a feud going on.“
With those few sentences, he cleared himself of any responsibility for Ben's injury.
Luna looked at him. After a while, he smiled. “Mr. Lynch, you sure are a tradesman. You have principles.“
His principle was that at no time was he responsible for anything.
Joshua could hear the sarcasm in her tone.
He said nothing. He put on his shirt and leaned back on the sofa, scrolling through his phone.
The room fell in instant silence.
Luna also had nothing to do, so she sat on the other end of the sofa and started using her phone, too.
She tapped the Sea City local news notification. She initially wanted to see the changes of Sea City for the past few years, but the moment she clicked on it...
It was a photo of her and Joshua.
The location of the photo was the room where she was with Joshua at that moment.
The photos were of her, either lying on Joshua, or clutching her chest with her hands while looking at Joshua, or having both her hands around Joshua's neck.
The headline wrote, (Heiress of Larson Group, Gwen Larson Reveals That Joshua Lynch is a Wife- Cheating Playboy! ]
The report even stated in detail that when Luna and Joshua were doing those actions in the photo, Joshua's wife, Alice, was next door.
Everyone on the internet berated them. Luna almost saw black.
Those photos. If she recalled correctly, those were the photos taken with the pinhole camera!
Gwen and her father set up the pinhole camera. However, Gwen already knew her identity the night before...
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 399
Luna browsed through the news once more. The more she read them, the more suffocated she felt.
The news not only stated Gwen's name, but there was even a voice recording of her.
She played the voice recording with trembling hands.
At that instant, Gwen's calm and emotionless voice rang out throughout the room. “That's right, I'm the one who exposed them. I'm willing to bear legal responsibility for thèse photos that I published. As for whether Luna and Joshua are having an inappropriate affair, l'll hold a press conference tomorrow and explain everything to everyone clearly.
“Tomorrow, nine in the morning, in the small auditorium near Sea City's Ocean Ray High School, I'll hold a small press conference. I welcome all friends who are concerned about Luna interfering with Joshua's marriage to attend. I '11 answer all of your questions.“
The recording ended there.
Luna gasped as she held her phone tightly.
Gwen just reunited with her the night before. She knew that Luna was Luna Gibson from back then, so why...?
Also, the small auditorium near Ocean Ray High School. Ocean Ray was where she and Gwen attended. The small auditorium was once their most favorite place.
Back then, Gwen and she had a coming-of-age ceremony at that auditorium. After the ceremony, they each left for university and had never contacted each other ever since.
The small auditorium was the last place Luna and Gwen had crossed paths.
Alas, Gwen abruptly planned to hold a press conference at that auditorium, accusing her of being the mistress in Joshua and Alice's marriage...
Luna closed her eyes. Her heart was smashed to pieces.
Unfortunately for her, Joshua's sneers rang in her ears. “Didn't you say that you became friends with Ben and Gwen because of Theo?“
Joshua changed into a more comfortable position as he held his phone in one hand, scrolling through the news expressionlessly. “This is the friend that you mentioned?“
Luna bit her lip harshly and said nothing.
She had no more strength nor the mood to talk.
On one hand, she was emotionally exhausted, and on the other hand, she was famished.
She changed into a different posture and laid on the sofa listlessly as she helplessly curled up into a ball.
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at her in front of him.
The sunlight shone through the curtains from behind her. The exceptionally bright sunlight shone
on her side profile, but it was as if she was hiding in the shadows.
She had a thin body and an emaciated face. Her lips were still bruised from the bite he bit her a moment ago. It was bright, yet sad.
She was like an injured small beast as she curled up on the sofa silently.
He looked at her. His eyes gradually darkened. Truthfully, he felt strange, too.
An hour ago, Gwen was still anxiously taking Ben to the hospital. How did she manage to shift her focus from Ben to Luna in a mere hour?
Moreover, when he brought men to Gwen's house, Gwen courageously blocked him at the entrance.
Although her eyes had fear in them, she still told him firmly that Luna was not at her place.
If it were not for those men hurting Ben, Gwen would continue to insist that Luna was not there.
Her reactions were proof of what Luna said a moment ago, that they had become friends.
However...
How could someone change in such a short time?
The two of them were quiet for a very long time until there was a knock on the door.
Outside the room, Lucas carried two sets of lunch and carefully entered the room.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 400
Perhaps realizing that the atmosphere was somewhat off, Lucas did not even say a single word. He put the lunch on the coffee table and ran off.
The door was shut once again.
Luna lifted her head and scanned the food on the table.
It was food that she usually liked, yet she had no mood for food at that moment.
Alas, she was far too hungry. She might be suffering emotionally, but that could not stop her hunger.
Luna took a deep breath and got up from the sofa. She went over to the coffee table and sat down to take the food out.
The aroma of the dishes awakened Luna's appetite, and she immediately picked up her utensils and ate hungrily.
Halfway through, she finally felt not so hungry anymore.
At the same time, she suddenly remembered that Joshua, next to her, also had not had any food.
She pursed her lips and subconsciously turned her head.
Joshua elegantly leaned back on the sofa. One hand was next to him, while the other was on the sofa. He looked at Luna flatly.
Seeing her looking at him, Joshua smiled a little, but his gaze was flat. “You go ahead first.“
Luna did not react in time. She furrowed her brows and looked at him. “Didn't you say that you didn't have breakfast, too? Aren't you hungry?“
“Of course, I ann.“
Joshua looked at her as if he was looking at a mentally challenged person. Then, he looked at his own injured right arm. “Do you think I can feed myself right now?“
Luna paused a little before she remembered at last that he was injured.
He had such a deep gash on his arm; he would not be able to feed himself.
However...
“Why don't I get Lucas to come in—“
“No need.“ Joshua looked at her and chuckled lightly. “Didn't you do a great job of feeding me yesterday afternoon?“
Luna shuddered and blushed inexplicably.
She bit her lip and immediately lowered her head to continue eating.
After a moment, she put down her utensils and let out a long sigh.
She turned around.
Joshua still looked at her humorously.
Luna knew that she could not avoid it. She let out a long sigh of resignation before she picked up Joshua's utensils and carefully fed him.
Joshua ate slowly and gracefully.
Seeing him eat, Luna could not help but think back to the time when she and Joshua just got married.
They just got married not long ago, and Joshua was admitted into the hospital due to overworking.
At that time, seeing how haggard he looked, she insisted on making his meals, taking them to the hospital, and feeding him.
She was just like at that moment—gently and cautiously feeding him.
Back then, Aura even mocked her by the side, saying how she was already so motherly even though she just got married.
Later down the line, however...
When she nearly lost her life due to Aura and Joshua's schemes, when she laid on the hospital bed, putting all of her memories with Joshua aside, she realized that Aura's words were mocking her for her ignorance and stupidity.
“What are you thinking of?“
