Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 431

Luna and Alice raised their heads simultaneously.

The person who was holding Alice's hand wasn't anyone else but Joshua who had left not too long ago.

Seeing him here, Alice immediately retracted her hand and dove into his arms, sobbing like a baby, “ Joshua, I knew Luna was in a bad mood, so I tried comforting her. But, who knew she would slap me instead! “

As she spoke, she pointed to her red and puffy face. “ See! I was furious, so I slapped her too, but she still wanted to slap me so I...“

Joshua held onto her gingerly, raised his eyes and looked at the palm print on Luna's face. “I know you're in a bad mood, but still you can't go around hurting people.“

Luna raised her eyes and looked at him coldly without speaking.

Joshua sucked in a deep breath, saying coolly, “I went to the police station just now and took care of everything. The one who kidnapped Gwen is Liam Clark's subordinate. The Old Mr. Walter is the mastermind, the police have already summoned him for questioning.“

Hearing the man's words, Alice, who was snuggled in his arms, stiffened immediately.

She hurriedly disentangled herself from his arms. “ Old Mr. Walter... has been captured by the police?“

Joshua hummed in reply, “When I left, he was in the police station recording his statement. He fully admitted to kidnapping Gwen.“

The man lifted his eyes and glanced in the direction of Gwen's hospital ward. “Even though it was bad that he ordered Liam to kidnap Luna, in the end, Luna wasn't hurt so I didn't report this to the police.

“Firstly, Old Mr. Walter is an old friend of my father's. Secondly, once Liam Clark is out of the picture, the Walter family will soon fall. That's enough punishment for him.“

With that, Joshua could not help but sigh, “But now, he's crossed the line. Gwen Larson is Andy Larson's only daughter and Andy has been working for the Walter family all these years. But because Gwen spoke out for Luna, Old Mr. Water can ignore Andy's staunch loyalty all these years and order his men to do this to her...“

He lowered his eyes and shook his head. “Maybe Hailey's death was too big of a blow to him? In his current mental state, perhaps making him confess and be punished by the law is a way of protecting him. Otherwise, who can guarantee that he won't do such appalling things again in the future.“

Alice gritted her teeth harshly.

Last night when after Old Mr. Walter's plan to harm Luna failed, Alice called him secretly, asking him not to act rashly.

Even if the Walter family fell, they still had her. In the future, once she and Joshua were back to

being a loving couple, she would somehow find a way to stealthily help the Water family rise to power again.

She remembered he promised he would do so.

And now, just one day later, why would he start taking action against Gwen?

Anyone with brains would know now wasn't the time to stand out and cause trouble again, especially since the enemy had found out about weakness last night.

Why would Old Mr. Walter do this at such a crucial time like this?

Luna lowered her head. “I still don't understand... Why would Old Mr. Walter...“

“Because he wanted to kill her and silence her forever.“

Before Luna could finish her sentence, Luna was coldly interrupted.

The person who spoke was Luke Jones, who was currently standing at the entrance to Gwen's hospital ward. The man swept his gaze across at Luna faintly. “I know Liam and his men too well. If their aim is revenge or they just wanted to destroy someone, they would employ more cruel methods that will keep her alive and yet make her wish for death. But they were determined to kill her. If my men didn't get there in time, she would be dead by the time they finished what they had planned.“

 

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 432

With that, the man shrugged and approached them. “ So, Gwen knows something about the Walter family, doesn't she?“

The moment the words left his mouth, both Luna and Alice paled simultaneously.

Alice knew something, but she was not too sure...

Meanwhile, Luna was thinking about the 'love letter' Gwen gave her last night.

She vaguely remembered, last night Liam got her letter, took a photo of it and sent it to someone, then burned the letter.

She did not know the contents of the letter.

But instinct told her... if the Walter family wanted to kill Gwen to silence her, it must be related to the letter!

At this thought, she jumped up as if crazed, then rushed Gwen's hospital ward and pushed the door open. “Gwen! “

She bolted in and grabbed Gwen's hand. “Do you remember? I gave you a letter last time. Do you remember what was written in the letter?“

Gwen looked at her, confused. “What letter?“ Luna stiffened immediately.

She bit her lip. “We went out drinking last night, you got drunk, and I sent you home. Then, you gave me a letter and asked me to open it only after I got back to Banyan City... What did you write in the letter?“

If the Walter family did this to Gwen because they wanted to silence her by killing her, then the only way to prevent her from becoming a target again was to expose this secret to the world!

That's why Luna kept the door to Gwen's hospital ward open on purpose, questioning Gwen in front of Joshua, Alice, and Luke.

But she was surprised Gwen forgot everything.

She looked at Luna with a face full of confusion. “Did I...drink with you yesterday?“

Luna bit her lip, insisting on reminding her. “Then is there any secret you would like to tell me? About... the Walter family?“

Gwen laughed, “The Walter family is the richest family in Sea City, the top of the top. How could I possibly be privy to their secret?“

With that, she threw a glance at Luna as if Luna was a monster of some sort. “Are you sick, why are you saying nonsense?“

Luna frowned and was about to continue her questioning when Andy, who was standing beside her, sighed, “Ms. Luna, did you forget? Just now, the doctor said Gwen's head was hit by a strong blow, she suffered a concussion and lost some short-term memories...“

Then, the old man sighed, “She doesn't remember anything of what you said, please stop asking.“

The light in Luna's eyes dimmed.

She glanced at Gwen again, a sea of emotions and words were trapped in her chest, struggling to escape, but she could not utter a single word.

“Luna, please leave. I need some peace and quiet."

Gwen's eyes swept across at Luna faintly. “And don't stay in the corridor, I heard every word of your conversation in the hallway. It's too noisy."

Luna paled.

The ward was enveloped in silence.

A moment later, Luna sucked in a deep breath, turned, and exited the ward.

Joshua and Alice were still standing in the corridor.

She walked toward them and bowed to Joshua respectfully. “President Lynch. I would like to take a few days off and spend more time here in Sea City. Is that possible?" Joshua's gaze was cool and emotionless. “What if I say no?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 433

Luna bit her lip, raised her eyes stubbornly, and looked straight at Joshua. “Why?“

Since something like this happened to Gwen, she would still worry even if she went back to Banyan City, it was impossible for her to concentrate on work.

Joshua's gaze remained emotionless. “Even if you want to stay here in Sea City, what can you do for Gwen? Continue to feel guilty and blame yourself, keep reminding her of what happened, so you can both be sad together?“

The man's words made Luna take a step back involuntarily.

She stared at him in disbelief, opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but not a single word came forth.

Joshua frowned, his voice calm but cold. “Firstly, you can't take back what has happened to her. The most important thing now is to stop her from seeing the people who are related to this incident, so her mental and physical wounds can start healing. You should know, all of these happened to her because of you. Even if she doesn't blame you, can you guarantee that she won't be reminded of this incident every time she sees you?“

Luna's heart ached dully as if it was punched by a heavy object.

Joshua could not bear seeing her pale face and hurt expression.

But he frowned and continued. “Secondly, since she doesn't remember the reason why Walter wanted to kill her, you shouldn't force her to remember. Even if she does remember, can you stay by her side and protect her constantly? Forgetting is the best form of protection for her. And finally.“

The man sucked in a deep breath. “Luke Jones owes me a favor. If I ask him to protect Gwen and her father here in Sea City, he can do it.“

With that, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Luna, her complexion pale and sallow from her emotional turmoil. “If you stay here, not only will you make it difficult for Gwen to forget her traumatic memories and sadness, you'll also make yourself feel more and more guilty, more and more ashamed.

That's why you have to follow me back to Banyan City.“

Luna looked at him, he seemed so far away from her. His voice seemed to drift over from another distant world.

She had to admit, his words were calm and reasonable.

But also cold and unfeeling.

He reiterated coldly the fact that she got Gwen involved, that she failed to protect her.

Her incapability, her weakness, and the harm she brought her friends.

In a split second, her well of emotions surged up in her chest.

She looked at Joshua and was about to say something but she swallowed back the words at the tip of her tongue.

She stared at him, and suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood, then her vision turned black.

The second she fainted, Joshua tore his arm out of Alice's grasp and rushed forward.

She landed in his arms in a soft heap.

Beside them, Alice watched as Joshua held Luna and flattened her lips. “Joshua, put her on a chair, I '11 ask Joshua to get the doctor.“

“No need.“

The man heaved Luna up in his hands in a bridal- style hug. “She's just We should go back to the hotel now.“

Alice frowned. “We're not returning to Banyan City today?“

He lowered his head and looked at the woman in his arms. “Tomorrow.“

She did not want to leave Gwen so badly... Maybe he should give her another days' time.

He carried her and strode toward the direction of the elevators.

Looking at his retreating back, Alice stomped her foot in anger and rushed to follow him. “Her mental strength is so weak...“

The elevator doors opened and Joshua walked inside with Luna in his arms.

Alice hurried in too. “You didn't say anything out of line, why is she so vulnerable..."

Joshua knitted his brows together slightly.

The Luna Gibson from six years ago would never make such sarcastic remarks about a woman who just fainted.

But now...

He had almost gotten used to her being mean. He did not like her like this.

But he could only tolerate her and accept her for who she was now.

Because she once threw away everything she had in Sea City and married him without a single word of complaint. She gave him two children, endured incomprehensible and unbearable pain.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 434

Even if she turned into someone he did not like at all, he could not abandon and leave her.

This was his responsibility as a husband and as a father.

But he really did not understand. “I remember, you and Gwen were desk-mates and best friends throughout your three years of high school. When this happened to her, I thought you would have the same reaction as Luna.“

Alice paused violently.

A second later, she turned and looked at the buttons on the elevator. “We weren't really friends, just desk

-mates. Besides, we never kept in touch after high school. To me, Gwen is just an old classmate I haven't seen for years.“

Joshua narrowed his eyes. “But Gwen even argued with Luna for you.“

“That's because she knew I married well and wanted to heighten her social position, “ Alice said lightly, “ Later on she realized I don't care about our ancient friendship and immediately became friends with Luna. Just days ago she was arguing with her, calling her a mistress, and now they've become fast friends, even willing to die for each other. How fickle. No wonder she was...“

“Alice.“

She was interrupted by Joshua before she could finish her sentence.

The man frowned and was about to say something but the elevator had already reached the ground floor.

Alice bolted out of the elevator and found Lucas who was standing in the entrance, waiting beside their car.

“Go and help Joshua! “

Lucas paused, then jogged to Joshua's side. “Sir, let me.“

Joshua frowned, looked at Lucas's outstretched arms, and walked past him, striding toward the direction of their car.

Lucas' empty hands paused awkwardly in mid -air. Alice rolled her eyes at him silently.

But she did not enter the car.

She crossed her arms over her chest and glanced at Luna who lay unconscious in the backseat. “Since we're not returning to Banyan City today, you guys go on ahead. I 'll visit some of my old friends here in Sea City.“

Joshua raised his lips in a cold smile. “Do you still have old friends here in Sea City who you can contact?“

This was his response to her comments about Gwen just now in the elevator.

Alice paled instantly.

“At least I still have some family in the city.“

Then, she looked at him coolly. “Would you like to join me?“

He hooked his lips in a taunting sneer and closed the car door.

The car drove away into the distance.

Alice remained where she stood until the car was nothing but a black dot in the distance, then breathed out a long sigh in relief and walked to the side of the road, “To the police station.“

At the police station. Alice saw Old Mr. Walter.

“Why were you so careless?“

The moment she saw him, she gritted her teeth and fired off at the old man. “You shou1d've acted later! We hadn't even reached Banyan City yet and were immediately summoned back with a mere phone call from Luke Jones. Do you know...“

“Gwen Larson knows you're my daughter.“

Alice was interrupted by Old Mr. Walter before she could finish her sentence.

Alice paused.

“So what if she knows? Many in the Walter family already know.“

“But she wrote a letter, wanting to tell Luna.“

The old man narrowed his eyes. “Now that Liam is gone, as Joshua Lynch's wife, you're our only hidden card. If your identity is exposed, we would be left with nothing.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 435

Luna lay unconscious in the hotel until 3 a.m. in the afternoon.

She got a call from Neil at 3 p.m. in the afternoon.

The little guy's voice drifted in from the other end of the phone. He sounded fairly excited. “Mommy, how far away are you? Nellie and I really miss you! “

Hearing her son's voice, Luna's heart softened and melted.

She held onto her phone for a few seconds in silence, then finally lowered her voice and answered, “ Mommy... can't come back today. I'm still in Sea City.“

On the other end of the phone, the little guy paused, then his voice turned calm in an instant. “Is there a problem?“

“One of Mommy's friends was involved in an accident.“

The little guy on the other end of the phone was very understanding.

He pursed his lips. “I understand. I'll explain the situation to Nellie properly, she'll understand and won't get angry at you or make a fuss about it. You can stay there and take care of your friend, just tell me when you'll be back and Nellie and I will be ready to welcome you home. If there's anything you need the three of us to help you with, just let us know.

We'll always be your strongest and unwavering backup.“

At her son's words, she couldn't hold in her tears any further and started crying.

Since she found out about the incident with Gwen, she had been filled with guilt and self-blame.

Most of the people around her blamed her for it.

Even Joshua said directly to her face that it was her fault such a chilling incident happened to Gwen.

When she faced problems and difficulties, her children were the only ones who cared about her as a person, and not about the issue at hand.

Finally, once her tears started flowing, the dam holding back her tears broke and they poured out of her in gushes.

Luna held onto her phone with one hand and covered her mouth with the other, forcing herself to keep her sobs silent.

Neil listened to her quietly on his end of the phone.

A long while later, when Luna cried so much she felt slightly dizzy, Neil sighed quietly, “Mommy. Pour yourself a cup of water.“

Luna sniffed, got up from the bed and poured herself a glass of water.

With a glass of water in her belly, she finally calmed down a little, her emotions stabilizing.

The woman sucked in a deep breath and wiped the remaining tears off her face. “I've embarrassed myself in front of you.“

Neil laughed, “You're my Mommy, however embarrassing you are, you don't have to worry about embarrassing yourself in front of me. After all, you've even seen me naked! “

Luna laughed through her tears at his words.

A moment later, she finally sucked in a deep breath again. “Don't tell your brother and sister about this. I might be able to go back to Banyan City tomorrow.“

Neil was silent for a while. “Then what about your friend... you don't plan to resolve the issue?“

Luna frowned and smiled bitterly. “Joshua doesn't allow me to continue staying here in Sea City. And he's right. Even if I stay, I can't do much except remind my friend of her traumatic memories.“

On the other end of the phone, Neil was silent for a moment.

“So... your friend's 'accident' was related to you, Mommy?“

“She was hurt because of me.“ Luna closed her eyes. “I need to go now. Take good care of your sister and wait for me to come home.“

Then, as if she suddenly remembered something. “ Right, Nigel and Malcolm Quinn's plan... has it come to a stop?“

“Yeah, they stopped it.“

Neil paused. “Nigel said he suddenly lost your signal last night, so he attacked and hacked into Sea City's surveillance system, then he finally found you. He said he saw something that made him feel Joshua deserves to be forgiven. So he convinced Uncle Malcolm and stopped their attack on the Lynch Group."

Neil's words made Luna's chest fall into the pit of her stomach.

Last night Nigel attacked and hacked into Sea City's surveillance system and found her...

Did that mean he actually saw a part of what happened to her last night?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 436

She did not dare to think any further, all she could do was bite her lip and ask Neil softly, “Did your brother say anything else?“

“No.“

Neil frowned. “Mommy, is anything wrong?“

“No, nothing.“ Luna sucked in a deep breath then chatted mindlessly with him for a while and hurriedly ended the call.

Placing her phone down, Luna took a long while to calm herself down. Then, she finally mustered her courage and pressed the button to switch on the necklace she used to communicate with Nigel.

“Mommy. “ The moment the signal was connected, Nigel's solemn voice drifted in from the other side. “ I already sent an email to the police in Sea City, detailing the various illegal activities the Walter family was involved in all these years. Don't worry, the people who hurt Aunt Gwen will be punished accordingly.“

Luna's hand that was holding the necklace trembled slightly.

“Nigel...“

“I know everything.“ The little guy sucked in a deep breath. “The necklace I gave you is installed with a program that enables it to be activated from afar.

When I couldn't detect your signal last night, I attacked and hacked into Sea City's surveillance

system. After I ensured you were fine and you were somewhere your signal could be detected, I activated the program. The sound monitoring was always switched on, since you were saved by Joshua last night all the way till your phone call with Neil just now. I know everything.“

Luna felt as if she was going to faint, her vision turning black for an instant.

She sucked in a deep breath. “Don't tell Neil and Nellie.“

“I know, I know what to do.“

In a hospital ward on the other side of the ocean, Nigel sighed deeply, his voice low and solemn, “ Mommy, you don't have to blame yourself so much. No one can tell what evil thoughts and schemes are hidden up another person's sleeve. The Walter family is the main reason why this happened to Aunt Gwen, you're not wrong for reuniting with her.“

Then, the little guy sucked in a deep breath. “ Besides, I agree with Joshua. You should return to Banyan City. In the next few days, all of the Walter family's evil deeds will be exposed one by one. Old Mr. Walter will get what he deserves.“ Luna was silent for a moment.

Using the Walter family's criminal record against them was indeed the best strategy.

If he was indicted for plotting Gwen's murder, then everything that happened to her would just become the talk of the town, an after-meal conversation piece.

But still she frowned. “Nigel... are you sure you can do it?“

Even if the Walter family lost their backing and fell, they were still the former richest family in Sea City.

Even a starved camel was bigger than a horse.

Nigel was just a child, with him alone, it could not be easy to defeat Old Mr. Walter.

“Of course, I won't be working alone.“

On the other end of the phone, the little guy laughed faintly, “I'm not the only one collecting evidence of the Walter family's criminal activities.“

“Who else is working with you?“

“Joshua Lynch,“ Nigel sighed, “he must be more resourceful than I am. All I can do is track down the information on the internet, but he relies on his network of informants. His men worked together with men from the Jones Gang. They're currently cooperating with everyone who is in contact with and who has bad blood with the Walter family, to try and gather more evidence of their criminal activities.“

Luna's whole body stiffened immediately.

She was reminded of Joshua's cold and indifferent expression that appeared in front of her eyes the moment before she fainted.

Why... why would he do something like this?

After all, the Walter family and the Lynch family were close family friends. Joshua's father, Adrian Lynch had been close friends with Old Mr. Walter for many years.

Besides, Gwen... seemed to have no connection to Joshua at all.

He did not have to send his father's old friend into jail for Gwen.

“I don't think he's doing this for Gwen."

As if he could predict Luna's confusion, on the other end of the phone, Nigel remained quiet for a moment. “Mommy, have you ever considered it? That Joshua Lynch might be doing this for you."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 437

Luna was silent for a moment, then she laughed.

“Nigel, how could he be doing this for me? To him, I'm just small fry, completely negligible.“

On the other end of the phone, Nigel remained quiet for a short while.

He wanted to tell her...

Through the CCTV recording that he hacked into last night, he saw Joshua's expression that was full of anxiety and heartache as he carried Luna.

That afternoon, he had been staring at the scene on his computer for the whole afternoon.

In the afternoon, he contacted Malcolm, discussed with Malcolm and decided to stop the attack on the Lynch Group.

From the screenshots that he captured, in every shot, Joshua's anxiety and guilt could not possibly be an act.

Because there was no way he could know his son was watching them from afar.

He did not even know he had another son, Nigel.

So his eyes, and his act of rushing out of the abandoned factory with Luna in his arms, they were all genuine.

Sometimes, even Nigel would wonder... what exactly was going through Joshua Lynch's mind?

Six years ago, he was the one who harmed Mommy, forcing her into the situation she was in today.

Now, six years later, he treated Alice, the imposter who was posing as Mommy like she was his treasure, even indulging the evil deeds that she did.

To Mommy herself, even though he was cold and strictly professional on the surface.

But his feelings and attitude toward Mommy had long since surpassed that of a President to his employee.

With this thought, Nigel sucked in a deep breath and said solemnly, “Then, Mommy, if Joshua likes you for who you are now, are you willing to be with... “

Before he could finish his sentence, there was a knock on Luna's door.

She frowned, bid goodbye to Nigel in a low voice and ended the call.

After organizing her emotions, she stood up and opened the room door.

Outside, stood the weary Joshua.

His tall and sturdy figure acted like a wall blocking the entrance, Luna took a step back instinctively.

“It looks like you've been awake for a while.“ He swept his gaze across her face faintly. “You don't want me to go in?“

Luna frowned, then leaned to the side and allowed him in.

He sat down on the sofa elegantly, his gaze calm and emotionless. “Do you feel better now?“

Luna closed the room door, glanced at him coldly and said, “Mr. Lynch, are you here to me and make me faint again?“

“You're so weak.“ He snorted coldly, then threw a document in front of her.

Luna frowned and picked up the document. It was a purchase agreement.

Joshua was willing to buy the Larson Group owned by Andy Larson, with a price that WHS 30% higher

than market value?

She frowned, then raised her eyes and looked at him. “What is the meaning of this?“

“Gwen Larson is Andy Larson's only daughter. Now that she's in this current condition, Andy Larson is no longer interested in running his company. That's why I acquired the Larson Group. On one hand, to help him recover his funds, and on the other hand, this way, the company that he has spent years building won't be under-valued because of a temporary family emergency.“

With that, he lifted the teapot from the coffee table and poured himself a cup of tea, speaking elegantly a s he drank. “I've already entrusted Gwen to Luke. In the future, regardless of whether it's the Walter family, or anyone else in Sea City, no one can harm Gwen like this again.

“This is considered a chance for Luke to redeem himself. People like him are the most trustworthy, you don't have to worry.“

Luna bit her lip.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 438

She held the document tightly in her hands. “You... why are you helping Gwen and the Larson family?“

It stood to reason that he had no contact with them at all.

Acquiring the Larson Group for a price that WHS 30% higher than market value was definitely not a good move to the Lynch Group.

The Larson Group did not hold that much potential. If it did, Andy Larson would not blindly look up to Old Mr. Walter all these years and follow his every order.

Joshua raised his eyes emotionlessly. “If I didn't do this, would you leave Sea City with me with peace of mind?“

Luna's heart squeezed into a tight ball of muscle at his words.

She remembered what Nigel said to her from the other end of the phone.

Could it be that Joshua had been doing all these... for her?

No, that was impossible.

She bit her lip harshly, that was impossible.

He must have read her mind, he glanced at her faintly again. “If you think this isn't a good enough reason, the other reason is.“

He set the cup down lightly on the coffee table. “I need an old Group in Sea City, one with experience

and a reliable network, as groundwork for my expansion into Sea City. The Walter family is obviously useful, but everyone knows they were brought down by Luke and I, so I 'm too lazy to clean up their mess.“

With that, the man's deep, endless gaze looked at Luna faintly, “My ambition is to take down the entire Sea City.“

Luna let out a deep breath in relief. There was a hint of disbelief.

She knew it.

It was impossible that Joshua... did all of this for her.

If he wanted to conquer Sea City's business sector, then it made sense that he went around collecting evidence on Old Mr. Walter's criminal activity.

He needed to expand his business in Sea City. As long as Old Mr. Walter was still in prison, it would be difficult for the Walter Group to rise again. That's why he needed to collect evidence, to make sure Old Mr. Walter remained in prison.

With this thought in mind, she raised her eyes and glanced at Joshua. “Now I know why they say no businessman is honest.“

Joshua raised his lips and laughed softly, “I 'll take this as a compliment.“ With that, the man stood up. “ So, don't carry such delusions that I'm doing all this for you. I did all this for myself.“

He lifted his legs, but paused when he was at the door. “Luke will transfer Gwen to another hospital today, to somewhere no one can find her. So if you

would like to visit her, tonight is your last chance. You'll be following me back to Banyan City first thing tomorrow morning.“

Leaving these words behind, he lifted his foot and left.

The door slammed shut behind him with a bang.

Luna looked in the direction he left and was caught in a daze for a long while before recovering her wits.

Sucking in a deep breath, she tapped the necklace hanging around her neck. “Nigel, did you hear that?“

Even though she had switched off the necklace just now, Nigel could activate it from afar.

According to her understanding of the little guy, he would definitely not lay back and quietly wait for her to contact him.

The moment the words left her mouth, the little guy's voice drifted out of her necklace. He sounded slightly depressed. “I did...“

Luna raised her lips and laughed self-deprecatingly, “So, don't be like Nellie and still think there's any hint of a possibility between us. It's impossible for us.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 439

After ending the call with Nigel, Luna hesitated in her room for a long while but finally mustered her courage and went to the hospital.

Joshua was right.

Luke did indeed protect Gwen very well. Even when she wanted to meet Gwen, his subordinates guarding the door had to report to their superiors and onward, before they finally obtained Luke's permission and allowed her into the ward.

When Luna arrived at Gwen's hospital ward, Gwen was climbing down the hospital with her father, Andy's help.

Seeing Luna arrive, Gwen's pupils shrunk slightly, then she raised her eyes and smiled at her softly. “ You're just in time.“

She smiled and sat in the wheelchair. “Luke Jones said I'll be transferred to another hospital tomorrow. I want to make a trip home, to pack up some of my stuff and bring it over there.“

With that, Gwen looked at Luna calmly. “Since you're here, please accompany me home. I don't want my father to still be taking care of me when I'm already an adult.“

Luna pursed her lips, walked toward her silently, and took the wheelchair that Andy was pushing. “ Alright.“

She pushed Gwen out of the hospital ward, entered the elevator and headed downstairs.

A black Cayenne was parked downstairs.

In front of the Cayenne, Luke leaned on the car bonnet elegantly, smoking a cigarette. Seeing them arrive, the man extinguished the cigarette in his hands, walked to the wheelchair and heaved Gwen up into his arms, placing her in the backseat. Then, he folded up the wheelchair skillfully.

Luna stood on the spot, looked at his smooth and skillful actions, her lips could not help but raise into a smile. “I never expected Leader Jones would do something like this personally.“

Luke closed the booth and swept his cold gaze across at Luna. “I was born unlucky. I've done all sorts of jobs before I joined a gang.“

With that, he stood up directly and entered the car, climbing into the driver's seat.

It looked like he was prepared to be their driver.

Luna was surprised. Someone like him... would escort Gwen personally?

Looking at the man from behind as he drove, Luna completely believed Joshua's words, that Luke would protect Gwen as best as he could.

The journey was quiet.

When Luna arrived at the villa with Gwen, the villa was quiet.

Luna thought Gwen just returned to pack some clothes and some personal items, but unexpectedly...

When she was almost done packing her luggage, she carefully placed her and Ben's wedding album into the suitcase. Looking at Gwen's gentle movements, Luna's heart ached slightly.

In her heart... Gwen must still be missing Ben, right?

That made sense. Since high school till now, for more than ten years, Gwen had been having feelings for Ben. It wasn't so easy to forget a relationship with more than ten years' history.

Just like her feelings for Joshua...

At this thought, she sucked in a deep breath, reached out and grabbed Gwen's hand. “One day, all of this will become history.“

Gwen closed her eyes, nodded silently, not saying a single word.

A long while later, when Luna wheeled Gwen out of the villa, a car was parked at the entrance to the villa.

It was Ben's car.

The car door opened and Ben walked out, together with a... a beautiful young woman.

Luna's eyes widened in shock.

Gwen's eyes were filled with disbelief too.

The woman walked toward Ben with gentle footsteps and hooked her arm through Ben's. “Why do you want to come back here? It's so late already.“

Ben planted a soft kiss on the woman's cheek. “I remember there are still some valuable items here. We should take them first, before that woman comes home.“

With that, the two of them turned and saw Luna who was standing at the entrance to the villa. And Gwen, sitting in the wheelchair in front of Luna.

Ben's entire body stiffened slightly. Gwen turned pale as a ghost.

The woman lifted her eyebrows condescendingly. “ Dear, who are they?"

Ben frowned. “My ex-wife, and her friend." The woman glanced at Gwen, dragging out her words. “So she is the woman who has been sullied by a few men. The one who can never be clean again. She isn't very pretty either. They'll take anyone they can get, won't they?"

Luna's hands held onto the wheelchair handles tightly.

Gwen raised her head and fixed her eyes on Ben as if she did not hear the woman's words. Her voice was cold and distant, without an ounce of warmth. “Who is she?“

Ben frowned but did not say anything.

Gwen raised her voice, but the chill in her tone persisted, “Ben Zeller, who is she?! “

“I am Ben's girlfriend. “ The woman laughed lightly, leaning her entire body on him, “But don't misunderstand, he didn't cheat on you. We just confirmed our relationship today. That's all because yo-“

Gwen closed her eyes. “Ben Zeller, are you mute?“

Only then did Ben frown, his voice displaying his displeasure. “Isn't it the same, whether I 'm the one who says it or Clover says it? Clover is my girlfriend, we only decided to be together this afternoon. We already finalized our divorce this morning, you have no right to interfere in my private affairs.“

Gwen started laughing coldly, but as she laughed, her tears started to fall.

Luna's hands clenched into fists.

Ben pursed his lips, dragged the woman named Clover behind him and strode into the villa. When he walked past Gwen, she reached out instinctively and held onto his wrist.

He shrugged her off coldly. “Gwen Larson, we are divorced now. You are no longer worthy of me.“

With that, he raised his legs and left. Gwen's hand hung in mid-air.

“Ben Zeller! “ When he walked past Luna, she sucked i n a deep breath, forcing the two words out of her lips.

Ben frowned but before he could turn to look at her, Luna's fist had landed square on his face.

Luna funneled all of her energy into this punch.

Ben was knocked backward by the impact, blood seeping out of his nostrils.

“You're strong.“ Beside them, Luke chuckled coldly as he watched on. Then, he reached out his long arm and dragged Gwen's wheelchair to the side.

Subsequently, he folded his arms across his chest and leaned on the wall and watched the scene unfold in front of him.

Gwen frowned and glared at Luke anxiously. “Aren't you going to help?“

Luke laughed lightly, “Who should I help? Your ex— husband or your friend?“

Gwen paused violently, for a second, loss for an answer.

On the other side, Ben finally recovered from the pain. He glared at Luna furiously. “Are you out of your mind?“

“You're the one who's out of his mind! “ Luna gritted her teeth harshly. The anger and heartache that had accumulated throughout the day exploded in an instant. She did not know where the strength that allowed her to punch Ben until his nose bled came from.

But she knew Ben Zeller definitely deserved it!

She clenched her hands tightly into fists, glaring at Ben viciously. “Gwen has loved you for so many years! You're just a student from a poor village,

she's the only daughter of the Larson Group. She overcame all the hurdles and obstacles in her way and married you, but now, after something like this happened to her, are you even a man!?“

As she spoke, another punch landed squarely on his jaw.

Ben was knocked a few steps backward from the impact. The woman who was named Clover was so intimidated by Luna that she hid herself far, far away.

Ben wiped at the blood seeping out of his nose, feeling slightly dizzy. But still, he scoffed coldly, “ Luna, are you sure you want to fight me?“

He was still a man after all. Even though he was feeling slightly dizzy from the impact of her punches, a slim and petite woman like Luna was no match for him!

He wiped the blood from the corners of his lips, raised his hand and swiped in her direction, a gust of wind accompanied his raised hand.

Instinctively, Luna wanted to duck, but he was too fast for her.

She bit her lip, covering her face with her hands and braced herself for the impact of his slap when Ben's wrist was locked by someone. A man's low, familiar voice rang in her ears. ”Hitting a woman is not something to be proud of.”
