Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 51

Luna ignored him.

The person she did not want to see most at that moment was Joshua.

She went past the sofa and headed to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.

“Get me a glass too, “ Joshua's low and aloof voice came from the living room.

Luna rolled her eyes and swore at him in her heart, but she still respectfully poured him a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table.

She did not forget that she was a maid at that moment. He was the master of the house.

The maid pouring a glass of water for her master. It was the most ordinary thing in the world.

“Why were you crying?“

The moment she put the glass of water on the coffee table, Joshua gracefully tapped his cigarette onto the ashtray.

His deep eyes were locked onto her face like he was trying to read her mind.

Luna sniffled, put the glass down, and stood up straight. “Nothing. I just wanted to cry.“

She gave Joshua a respectful glance. “Mr. Lynch, if there is nothing else, I'm heading upstairs.“

Then, she turned and was about to leave.

When she walked past Joshua, he reached his long arm out and pulled her into his arms.

The smell of alcohol on Joshua wafted into Luna's nose.

“Are you feeling aggrieved because of Aura? Hmm? “ He pressed her onto the sofa. His voice was low and melodious.

Luna was uncomfortable with the sudden close contact. She tried to struggle from his grip, but the disparity of strength left her defenseless.

In the end, she tried to push him away with all her might and ended up gasping for air lying on the sofa.

“You're drunk.“

“I am not.“ Joshua did not touch her anymore. He only leaned back on the sofa and sneered.

“What is there to be aggrieved about? Even if Aura was in the wrong, you came to me with unrealistic expectations too.“

“I'm the one who lost more today.“ Luna was amused by this theory of his.

She sneered and looked at Joshua, “But you accept her slander against you too, right? She is your fiancée. You could accept all her shortcomings. You are even willing to help her clear her name. However, I'm not the same. I am just an ordinary person who has nothing to do with her. I was secretly photographed and being called a mistress, don't I have the right to be aggrieved?“

Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. He helped her sit up. Facing her, Joshua lifted the glass of water and downed the water in one go.

“Actually...Aura means a lot to me. She means a lot to my wife too.“

Luna stopped breathing. She did not expect that Joshua would bring her up.

Luna smiled. “Is that so?“

Was Aura really that important?

Indeed, Aura was important to her. Back then, she treated Aura as her closest sister. She would share everything with her.

Later on, Aura even took her husband away from her. Then, Aura became a warning sign for her in her life.

Every time she wanted to trust someone easily, she would think of Aura.

“Yes.“

Joshua looked at Luna, drunk. “Aura is my wife's younger sister, the person she loved the most. My wife is the kindest and cutest person in the world.“

Joshua looked at her, but his gaze was somewhat in a daze, looking into the distance. “The first time I saw her was in university. She was standing under the cherry blossom tree. She was so beautiful I could not take my eyes off her...“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 52

The drunk Joshua openly talked about how they met in front of Luna. His heartfelt words were all words of hypocrisy in Luna's ears.

He never knew that the first time they met was not under the cherry blossom tree. It was when he met with an accident.

Many years back, Joshua met with a serious accident. When the car crashed into him, he was abandoned by the side of the road. It was Luna that rescued him and sent him to the hospital. She took care of him for a whole month while he was in a coma.

She liked him, but she did not dare to fall for him. She knew that she was too ordinary. She was not worthy of a man like him, so when he gained consciousness, she left him determinedly.

She initially thought that they would forget each other, but did not expect that they would meet again later on.

The moment they reunited, she truly believed that he was part of her life, so she started pursuing him like crazy. She loved him to bits and finally married him.

On the wedding day, he told her plainly that he did not like her.

He did not know whether he would like her in the future or not, but he would let her be the missus.

Back then, she naively believed that this was the most beautiful vow, but what happened later...

Luna looked at Joshua with loathing in her eyes. She gave up her career and went all around seeking medical advice, all because he said, “It's time to have kids.“

Later on, she bore him three children, triplets! However, what she got in exchange was the betraying of her younger sister, Aura.

He also viciously hired someone to crash into her, sending her flying off the Bay Bridge.

In the end, he even forged a will to insult her, saying that she cheated on him and asking him to marry Aura!

Every time she dreamt of this when she was overseas, a chill would run down her back.

If it were not for her three children or if it were not for Nigel needing treatment, she wanted to dissect Joshua and see whether he had a heart or not!

This heartless man was pretending to be affectionate and emotional in front of her at that moment. He was even telling her how they met.

What was the point? At that moment, Luna was just a n outsider. She was just a maid that Joshua barely knew.

Perhaps, if Joshua pretended to be affectionate and deeply in love in front of outsiders, it would make him feel better about his conscience?

“I don't quite understand.“ Luna sneered. “If Mrs. Lynch was so important to you, why did you want to marry Aura? Just because she is your wife's younger sister?“

Joshua shook his head. “Because she left me a will. She asked me to take good care of Aura, best if I could marry her and take care of her for the rest of her life. So, I got engaged with Aura. It was indeed easier for me to take care of her that way.“

Luna smiled. “Just because you needed to take care of her, you made her your fiancée?“

Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at her. “After my wife died, Aura and I had no whatsoever relationship anymore. To let her become my fiancée and announce it to the public was the best way to take care of her.“

“I beg to differ.“ Luna stood up and looked at Joshua coldly. “First, I don't think a normal woman would openly request for her husband to marry her younger sister.

“Also, I don't think being a fiancée would ensure whatever protection. If you truly wanted to protect Aura, she could be your sister or a friend. You could even publicly announce that she is your wife's sister. Now that your wife has passed away, you have to take care of her. Would anyone object to that?“

Joshua looked at Luna with his deep, endless eyes, saying nothing.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 53

Luna did not sleep well that night.

She kept dreaming about all the things that she went through with Joshua. The flutter of her heart during her first encounter with him, the happiness she felt when they had their wedding photos taken, the rush of their wedding...

She kept asking Joshua why in her dreams.

Why? Why should her love be completely wiped out like this?

When she woke up, her pillow was wet with tears. Turns out, the pain one suffered in love was not that easy to let go of even after so many years.

“Mommy.“ Nellie was standing by her bed with a tissue in her hand. She carefully wiped away Luna's tears. “Did Daddy make you angry again?“

Luna shut her eyes and hugged Nellie in her arms. Feeling the warmth of Nellie's body, she suddenly felt energized once again.

For the past six years, her three children were her motivation to continue living. No matter what, she would not abandon them.

“Mommy, stop crying.“

Nellie gently patted Luna on her back. She comforted gently, “No matter what, Nigel, Neil, and I will always be on your side. Don't be sad.“

Nellie's comforts touched Luna. She hugged Nellie for a long time until Lucas came knocking on her door.

“Luna, are you awake?“

Luna furrowed her brows. She pushed Nellie away and opened the door.

“What is it?“

“If you're awake, can you make some soup for Joshua to sober up?“ Lucas stood by the door with an embarrassed expression.

“He has an important meeting later, but he drank too much last night. He is still hungover. It's still early, the other servants are not here yet, so I could only ask you to do it.“

Luna nodded. “Okay.“

Then, she put on a jacket and headed downstairs.

In the kitchen, she put the ingredients into the pot and boiled it. Then, she started making breakfast for Nellie.

Standing at the entrance of the kitchen, Lucas stood there. He was hesitant to say something.

“Just spit it out, “ Luna said without looking at him while making breakfast.

Lucas looked awkward.

After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Luna's almost-perfect side profile.

“Yesterday at Ms. Gibson's house...I lied.“

Luna was chopping vegetables when her hand paused a little.

After a short while, she continued what she was doing. “What did you lie about?“

“The matter yesterday, Ms. Gibson should be the one that planned it.“ Lucas took a deep breath. He could see that Luna has cried recently.

Taking into account how Luna stormed off at Aura's house, Lucas guessed that the matter yesterday must have gotten to her.

Hence, he felt that he owed her an explanation. “I found out that the bank account that was used to transfer to the spammers' syndicate was indeed Ms. Gibson's personal bank account.“

Luna sneered, but she pretended to nonchalantly chop vegetables. “So why did you say it was the company's account?“

He did not need to say it explicitly, it must be under Joshua's instruction.

She understood.

“Ms. Gibson is Joshua's fiancée.“ Lucas took a deep breath. “She will be the mistress of this house in the future. There are some things we should keep to ourselves. There is no need to embarrass her in public. Furthermore, the incident was settled perfectly. No one on the internet is talking about this anymore.“

Then, he looked at Luna. “Don't take it to heart. It is only normal for us, as servants, to be aggrieved for the sake of our masters.“

“Is it so?“ Luna stopped whatever she was doing. She turned off the fire and poured the soup out.

”Just because I am a servant, I am destined to be bullied by Aura and I can't fight back. Is that it?”

 

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 54

Six years ago, when she was the mistress of the house, no one showed her the respect that she deserved.

Lucas hesitated for a while, “Yes.“ “That is your own theory.“

Luna found a spoon and tray from the cabinet and washed them.

“I have gone through enough grievances in my entire life. I do not want to feel that way anymore.“

Then, she held the tray, went past Lucas, and headed upstairs.

Lucas stood on the same spot. Looking at her slender figure, his eyes dimmed.

If there was a choice, who would want to feel aggrieved? However, if they did not win over Aura at that moment, it would be too late when she married into the family.

Master Bedroom.

When Luna entered with the soup, Joshua was leaning on the head of the bed, looking at his phone.

He was still hungover from the night before. His head hurt so much that he had difficulty getting out of bed.

His mind was foggy. He had trouble remembering what happened the day before.

When Luna entered, Joshua furrowed his brows and put his phone down. At the thought about his actions the night before, Luna's expressions turned cold.

She came in with an ice -cold expression and passed the soup to him.

Joshua furrowed his brows lightly. He swept a glance at her reddened and puffy eyes.

“Were you crying?“

This was the same question he asked her the night before. Luna could not help but sneer.

She locked eyes with him and said mockingly, “Mr. Lynch, you asked me the same time last night in the living room. Are you trying to reenact the scene?

Pinning me down the very next second, then telling me how you met your wife?“

Joshua frowned. He barely remembered anything from the night before.

“I...told you about my wife last night?“

“Yes.“

Seeing how Joshua did not take the soup, Luna immediately placed the spoon and soup by his nightstand.

“Mr. Lynch, you even said that you got engaged with Ms. Gibson all because of your wife. Your wife must be a great person. She died while pregnant. She could barely care for her children, yet she did not forget to put her sister in her will.

“Those that know would understand how great your wife is. Those that don't will think that you have a secret ongoing relationship with Ms. Gibson and you killed your wife to silence her! “

This was what she has been holding in her heart for a long time. She wanted to tell that to Joshua's face for a long time.

She wanted to see his reaction when he heard these words. She wanted to see him panic when his lies were being exposed.

However, she was disappointed.

Joshua did not panic at all, neither was he frantic. He looked at her indifferently.

“Who gave you the permission to talk about my family? You are just a servant.“

He did not need to explain himself to a servant, but he could not deny that her words made him uncomfortable. Extremely uncomfortable.

For the past six years, he has been thinking about Luna Gibson day and night. He could not let anyone defame her or misunderstand his feelings for her.

“Yes, I am only a servant.“ Luna chuckled bitterly. Her eyes turned colder. “I have no right to talk about my master's family affairs. I also do not have the right to seek justice for myself. Even if I was secretly photographed and insulted by others, I can only bear it. After all, the mistress of this house is your fiancée, Ms. Gibson! “

Then, Luna did not care what reaction Joshua had, she turned and left.

Joshua looked at the door being slammed shut. He frowned hard.

After a while, he remembered that he had a meeting. He took the bowl of soup by the nightstand and drank them.

The taste of the soup...

Suddenly, his sharp eyes widened.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 55

This was not right! This had the same taste as what Luna Gibson made!

His job needed him to socialize a lot. Back then, when they were still together, Joshua would always come home drunk. Every time that he was hungover, Luna Gibson would make him this soup to sober him up.

She liked to add a special spice into the soup, making it taste unique. Joshua has not tasted her soup for six years already.

However, at that moment, the soup that Luna did was exactly the same as Luna Gibson's!

Joshua could not care for anything else. He immediately got down from the bed and rushed downstairs.

In the kitchen downstairs, Luna was making a bowl of oats for Nellie. She was engrossed in her work, so she did not notice the flurry of steps behind her.

When she noticed Joshua's presence, he was already standing behind her.

Joshua turned her over and clasped her jaw with his large hands. He looked at her dangerously with his hawk-like eyes. “Who taught you how to make the soup?“

Luna was startled by his sudden actions. She instinctively wanted to resist, but he clasped her jaw tighter.

In the end, she looked at him. “No one. I made it myself.“

“Impossible.“ Joshua's voice was raspy due to his hangover. “The taste is not right. Who taught you how to make it? Are you related to Luna Gibson? Did she send you here?“

The more he said the stronger he felt that his deduction was right.

A jewelry designer who was famous overseas came back to Banyan City. She did nothing related to her previous job, she did not further a second career, yet she came to Blue Bay Villa to be Nellie's personal maid without any complaints.

She treated Nellie like her own daughter. She shared the same name with Luna Gibson. Her taste in home decor was the same as Luna Gibson, even the soup she made tastes exactly the same!

If it were not for her eyes, which looked different compared to Luna Gibson, he might even suspect that Luna the maid was Luna Gibson that had undergone plastic surgery!

However, he knew for a fact that she was not.

Luna Gibson would look at him with love and light. Luna the maid looked at him like he was a stranger. Those eyes could not belong to Luna Gibson.

Joshua was taking in everything, looking at Luna closely.

Luna panicked. She did not expect that a bowl of soup was enough to let Joshua suspect her!

She bit her lips and tried to calm herself down. She looked at him without any fear in her eyes. “Mr.

Lynch. I do not know what you are talking about. No one taught me how to make this soup. I got the recipe from the internet.“

Luna tried her best to talk in a slow manner, making her seem calm. “I don't remember who I learned it from, but I have seen Luna Gibson's Twitter account. Perhaps, she shared it there.“

Joshua's hand that was clasping Luna's jaw tensed.

Yes. Luna Gibson was a person that loved life. She loved to share a life with others. At that thought, Joshua let Luna go with detest.

His dark eyes turned cold. “I almost forgot. You're a person that likes to imitate my wife.“

He remembered.

Luna from the start imitated Luna Gibson to get his attention. At that moment, this soup was probably just one of her tricks.

He looked at her coldly. “I hope you can be yourself. Don't try to be my wife's replacement. No one can replace Luna Gibson.“

Then, he turned around and left.

She did not know why, but Luna read a hint of loneliness in Joshua's back.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 56

Luna laughed bitterly and shook her head as she shrugged off the messy thoughts.

How could Joshua be lonely? She was the lonely one all these years.

She turned around and continued to make Nellie her oats.

Unintentionally, she saw her reflection on the metal stove. At that moment, her facial features were intricate and unique. She was so beautiful that it was almost flawless, yet she could no longer feel any happiness.

For the next few days, Luna tried to avoid appearing in front of Joshua. One was because of the previous incident; she had no energy to pretend to be friendly with Joshua. Also, Joshua has started doubting her relationship with Luna Gibson. She had to try her best to make herself as small as possible so he would ignore her.

However, everyone in Blue Bay Villa noticed Luna trying to distance herself from Joshua.

Some of the older servants lectured her, “Luna, remember your place. You're a servant, and you're here to serve Mr. Lynch. Wipe that rude face off.“

“You'll be easily fired this way. I've been working in Blue Bay Villa for so many years, and never have I seen a servant with such an attitude.“

“Luna, don't think that only you can take care of Ms. Nellie. You're not irreplaceable.“

Luna did not know that Joshua instructed the servants to say such things, but no matter what they said, she was not willing to change.

Nellie noticed something was off with Luna. She asked Neil what happened to her Mommy.

Neil gave an official answer, “It must be the previous incident. Mommy probably realized that it wasn't that easy to split the scumbag and that b*tch apart, so she's wallowing in self-loathing. Don't worry; things will pass in time. Women's emotions come and go quickly. “

Neil did not expect, however, that Luna would remain in such a state for almost an entire week.

For that whole week, Luna treated Joshua as air.

Other than the necessary things she needed to say to Joshua, she barely spoke another word to him. She was so obedient that it was nauseating.

Sitting in his study, Joshua's brows furrowed as he looked at the documents in front of him, yet Luna's expressionless face was on his mind. He could not process a single word he read.

For the past few days, Luna did her work exceptionally well and took good care of Nellie, but every time he appeared, her expressions would instantly change!

Nellie even asked him whether he made her angry.

Since when did he make her angry? It was more like the other way around! Also, Joshua was the master of the house, and she was nothing but a lowly servant. Even if Joshua did something which made her unhappy, she had to bear it!

How could this woman so boldly ignore him? Did she not have other intentions toward him? Was she pretending to give up, or was she giving up for real?

This was the first time Joshua was treated this way. No matter how he looked at it, he was uncomfortable.

In the end, he coldly dialed Lucas, “Get Luna to bring me coffee."

Lucas, on the other end of the call, was silent for a while. “Sir, you already made her make you coffee twice tonight. Are you sure you want a third cup? "

“Then get her to make me tea! " Joshua gritted his teeth. “No matter what, make her busy! "

Was she unwilling to talk to him? He would force her until she did so!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 57

When Luna knocked on the door and entered with hot tea, Joshua was sitting and talking on the phone.

Seeing her entering, Joshua swept a cold glance at her and continued reprimanding his staff, “How many years have you been on this job? Do I still need to teach you basic respect for your superiors? So what if you're in a bad mood? Do I, as a boss, need to care for your emotions? If there's a next time, you can prepare to resign! “

Luna smiled faintly as she heard his words. Joshua might seem like he was reprimanding his staff, but he was indirectly telling them to Luna.

This was the third time he asked her to send something up for him to drink. From coffee to tea, Luna knew he did not need to drink so much while working that night. The only possible reason was that she got under his skin as she ignored him and treated him indifferently.

Joshua had always been high and mighty. He was a man that everyone respected and looked up to.

He must have felt terrible when she suddenly ignored his presence, then. This was not because he cared about Luna; it was his ego reacting.

Luna put the cup of tea down, turned, and left.

“Stop, “ Joshua haughtily called from behind just as Luna's hand was on the doorknob.

Luna hesitated for a while and stopped in her tracks.

“I'm tired.“ Joshua leaned back on his chair. “Give me a massage.“

Luna did not turn around. “Mr. Lynch, I'm Ms. Nellie's servant, not yours. When we signed the contract, you explicitly told me that I only had to listen to Ms. Nellie and take good care of her. Making coffee and tea for you tonight was done free of charge. I don't think you should take advantage of this.“

Joshua was so furious he was rendered speechless.

Back then when they signed the contract, he did indeed stress this clause as he felt that Luna was scheming against him at that time. This clause was just to remind her of her place.

He did not expect that she would bring this clause up when he asked her to do things for him!

Him, taking advantage?

“Good night.“ Luna did not wait for Joshua to react a s she immediately opened the door and left.

The door of the study was shut.

Joshua looked at Luna leaving and the door closing. He was even more annoyed.

He forced himself to continue working, but Luna's words of him taking advantage kept ringing in his ears.

It was bitter and unbearable.

When Joshua lost all mood to even read his emails, he decided to take a stroll in the backyard.

Blue Bay Villa's backyard was huge. There was a man- made lake, artificial hills, and a cobblestone path. There were assorted pavilions and greenery as well.

Back when Luna Gibson was still around, she planted many beautiful plants in the backyard.

Six years had passed, and her plants were long gone, too.

Walking on the cobblestone path with the night breeze gently blowing by, Joshua finally felt better.

The moon shone brightly.

Walking under the moonlight, his surroundings were so quiet it was like he was in a painting.

“When I 'm not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself. Don't be too naughty. Do you hear me? Of course, I'll be worried and sad, so you have to be good for me. Okay?“

Joshua heard a soft woman's voice that came from a distance. He furrowed his brows and followed the sound.

It was Luna.

At that moment, she was on top of an artificial hill as she talked on the phone.

Although he was far away from her, her affectionate appearance still made Joshua's heart beat violently.

Perhaps it was quiet at night, but he heard every word she said even though her voice was rather meek.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 58

“We've been apart for so long, so of course I miss you. I miss you so much.“

“Of course I love you. What are you thinking?“

“Okay, okay, stop playing around. I'll make you your special cookies the next time I see you, okay?“

“Mmh, I'll only make them for you. No one else gets to try them.“

Joshua frowned sourly at that. Her voice rang in the air, flirtatious, and the words she used sounded intimate, too.

Who was she talking to on the phone? Another man?

No wonder she treated Joshua so coldly, not wanting to say a single word to him.

It seemed like she had changed her target. This woman with ill intentions toward him had changed her target. He should be happy.

It baffled Joshua why he was displeased, however. Not only that, but he was a little furious, too.

After a long time, Luna finally hung up. She let out a long sigh of relief.

The cheeky Neil had been living at Anne's house independently, and he sometimes would even take care of Anne and make meals for her. Despite all that, he insisted on calling, saying how lonely he felt and how he missed her. He even made her promise to make him cookies. She had to comfort him for a long time.

The moment she hung up, she squinted her eyes and noticed a tall figure by the cobblestone path in the distance.

It was quite dark at night, but even though she could only see a silhouette, she knew that it was Joshua. She used to know him like the back of her hand.

Although she noticed him, Luna did not want to deal with him, but the position where he stood was the way back into the house.

Even if she wanted to ignore him, she had to pass him by if she wanted to return to Nellie's bedroom.

Luna took a deep breath and was ready to walk past him, but when she was near him, Joshua reached out and grabbed her wrist.

The next second, he pinned her onto one of the stone pillars.

“Who were you talking to on the phone? Hmm?“ Joshua grabbed her by the neck, his eyes ice-cold.

“Mr. Lynch, “ Luna sneered. She lifted her head and looked at the man who was half a head taller than her. “Who I talk to on the phone has nothing to do with you, don't you think?“

“Nothing? “ Joshua raised his brows. “Weren't you scheming against me previously? Why have you changed your target after just a few days? You don't even dare to hold on! “

Momentarily stunned, Luna then scoffed as she tried to resist while dealing with Joshua.

Because she kept struggling, Joshua held her even tighter.

“Let me go! " Luna bit her lip and started resisting with all her might. However, Joshua was much stronger than her, thus her resistance was futile.

“Joshua Lynch! " In the heat of the moment, she shouted his name directly.

Her huge round eyes glaring at him were way too adorable.

Joshua lowered his head and looked at her blushing face, then to her thin, pink lips. Perhaps it was the beauty of the night skies, or perhaps it was the beauty of the person in front of him.

Joshua bent down and kissed Luna on the lips unconsciously.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 59

Joshua's scent grew closer and stronger.

Back then, Luna longed for Joshua to kiss her himself, but he never once kissed her first after three years of marriage.

Whether it be in life or in bed, she was always the one who made the first move.

Previously, she just thought that he was passive. However, at that moment, she finally saw clearly.

It was not that he was passive; he was only passive toward her. Just like at that moment, she had been Joshua's maid for only half a month, yet he could kiss her just like that.

At that thought, Luna's eyes turned cold. Slap!

The moment Joshua's lips grazed hers, a crisp slap rang through the entire backyard.

Joshua's face was slapped so hard that his head swung to the side. His expression darkened as he regained his senses.

He turned back and looked at Luna with fury. “How dare you slap me?“

Luna retracted her hand that ached due to the slap. She glared at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, you've done inappropriate things. Should I not have slapped you?“

Then, she looked at him mockingly. “Mr. Lynch, are you of clear mind now?”

Joshua said nothing as he glared at Luna coldly. His eyes were so cold, Luna felt as if the surrounding air froze. Still, she met his gaze fearlessly.

”Was this not what you always wanted?” After a while, Joshua smiled mockingly. ”Luna, pretending to be otherwise the first time is smart, but doing that the second time is just a dumb mistake.”

”Mr. Lynch, how confident of you.”

”What else could it be, then?” Joshua wiped his mouth as he smirked with hostility. ”You kept pretending to be my wife. You came here willingly to be my maid, constantly pleasing my daughter. You even tried to drive a wedge in between my fiancée and me! Luna, you're just trying to seduce me. Don't think I don't know about this!"

Luna closed her eyes. With tightly clenched fists, she opened her eyes and looked at Joshua. ”Mr. Lynch, you sure know how to joke, don't you? Since when have I driven a wedge between you and Aura?”

She indirectly admitted his other reasons; she indeed wanted to get his attention.

However, Aura was the one that kept finding fault with her, yet Joshua pushed all the blame onto Luna! Apart from saying Joshua was truly in love with Aura, what else could she say? How could she explain that?

Joshua looked at her dangerously. He sneered and went closer toward her. ”Have you never?”

Luna instinctively retreated, so much so that there was no more room to back up to.

She stood on the spot, calmed herself down, and looked at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, I see that you care about your fiancée a lot. If you care so much for her, why did you kiss me? Do you like the excitement of betraying your lovers?“

When Luna was with him back then, he went behind her back and got together with Aura. He was already with Aura, yet he went behind her back and flirted with Luna.

Joshua's eyes turned ice cold. “I dare you to say I one more time! “

His eyes were filled with murderous intentions. Luna sneered at him. Her eyes were fearless. “Daddy, Aunty! “

In their stalemate, a child's voice broke the silence in the backyard.

Nellie, in pink pajamas with blueberry prints, stood by the entrance and looked at the two of them groggily. “It's late. Why are you two not sleeping yet?“

Then, Nellie ran to Luna and hugged Luna's legs. “I was startled, and I can't go back to sleep. Can you put me back to sleep?“

Nellie's actions and words made Luna come to her senses.

She turned to look at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, please step aside.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 60

“I'm going to put Ms. Nellie back to bed.“

Luna bent and took Nellie into her arms. She pushed Joshua aside and strode back into the villa.

Joshua stood on the spot, brows furrowed as he looked at Luna walking away.

The door of the entrance was shut.

Joshua looked at the door with his deep eyes. After a while, he took his phone out and dialed Lucas.

“Get the car.“

On the other end of the call, Lucas sounded groggy. “ Mr. Lynch, it's late. Where do you want to go?“

“To the office,“ came the reply. Lucas was so stunned that he was momentarily speechless. “ Didn't you bring all your work back to the villa? Why are you returning to the office?“

“I regret my decision. Why? Do you have anything to say about that?“

How would Lucas dare have anything to say?

Lucas immediately got up from his girlfriend's bed and quickly drove to Blue Bay Villa. He helped carry the stack of documents in Joshua's study into the car as he then sent Joshua to the office.

Sitting in the backseat, Joshua looked out of the window and watched as the night scene drifted by. He furrowed his brows hard.

He did not know why, but Luna's face kept appearing on his mind—her exquisitely beautiful face, and even her face of shock and rage when he almost kissed her.

Joshua frowned hard. He did not know what was happening to him.

He was deeply in love with another person. He had given his heart to a woman called Luna Gibson.

Why was he livid when he heard Luna talking intimately on the phone, then? Seeing her happy face made him so agitated that he lost his mind!

What happened to him? Was he like other men? Did he have a change of heart? Did...

At that thought, he frowned harder.

No, he would never. His love and thoughts for Luna Gibson had remained for five years already.

For the past five years, besides Aura, he has had countless beautiful and outstanding women around him. Even if Luna was gorgeous, extremely gorgeous, she was like other women he had seen before.

However, none of the women were like Luna, who would make him have such reckless impulses.

Unknowingly, the car reached the Lynch Group Tower.

He got down from the car and was about to get Lucas to bring the documents up when two bodyguards came out rushing from the building.

It was Zach and Yuri, the ones with the little boy who saved Nellie at the amusement park previously. “Mr. Lynch, you're working late."

“Mr. Bean, pass this to me. It's so heavy. I'll help you!"

Zach and Yuri came to greet Joshua animatedly.

Joshua thought about the little boy. He furrowed his brows and glanced at Zach. “Are you in touch with the little boy?"

Zach furrowed his brows. “The little boy?"

“He means our boss! " Yuri muttered as he held the documents to his form.

Zach slapped his head. “Ah, our boss. Yes, we are, and we just talked to him online just now."

“Hmm." Joshua furrowed his brows. “Get him to come over. I'm looking for him."
