Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 641

The next day, Luna was rudely awoken by Gwen early in the morning.

“Don't forget you have a wedding to attend today! Remember to dress nicely, you still have to meet your clan members! “

Luna was amused by how excited she sounded. “ Judging from how excited you are, I 'm starting to wonder if you're the bride today.“

Gwen rolled her eyes. "Damn you."

Luna shrugged, climbing out of bed to wash herself. “Do you want me to bring you back a present, a souvenir or something?“

Gwen pondered her question for a while. “Then take some photos to show me, and bring me the door gift that they give out to guests! “

“Okay.“ After agreeing, Luna changed into some clean clothes and entered the taxi heading for the Ocean View Hotel.

On the way, she switched on her phone and found the number that she just added last night, sending him a message. “I 'm on my way, when will you be there?“

His response came in the form of a photo. The photo showed the wedding hall, beside it was his table number, 55.

“Okay, I'll go meet you when I'm there.“ After sending her answer, Luna sucked in a deep breath and kept away her phone.

Sometimes, she felt as if fate had been playing a cruel trick on her. Back then, if she did not stop playing the game after the clan member left, she might not have missed her chance of meeting him. Maybe this was a cruel twist of fate.

But luckily, the heavens gave her another chance to make up for the past.

Soon, the taxi arrived at the Ocean View Hotel. Luna paid the driver and was about to open the door and step out when she saw the man standing at the entrance to the hotel.

Why would Joshua be here? Was he here to attend the wedding?

When Luna was looking at him in a daze, Joshua noticed her too. A hint of shock flashed through the man's eyes, then following immediately after, was a chill. He motioned toward her with his eyes, indicating for her to go to him.

Luna frowned, lifted her legs, and approached him.

Elegantly, Joshua leaned on a pillar, lit a cigarette, and started smoking. “Are you here to cause trouble?“

Luna took the invitation out of her bag and smiled in his direction. “I'm here to attend a wedding. I don't know why you would say I'm here to cause trouble, Mr. Lynch.“

Joshua raised his hand and took the invitation out of her hands, sweeping his eyes over it quickly. Only the name of the bride was written on the invitation, the groom's name was nowhere to be seen. And the invitation was addressed to... Gwen Larson.

The man narrowed his eyes. “You're here on behalf of Gwen?“

Luna took the invitation from him and returned it to her bag elegantly. “Yes, is there a problem?“

Joshua looked at her and was about to say something, but in the end, chose to remain quiet. He threw a deep and meaningful glance her way. “Then I hope you will have fun today.“ With that, he raised his legs and headed in the direction of the hotel.

Seeing him walk toward the wedding hall, Luna frowned and caught up to him with a few quick steps. “Mr. Lynch, you're also here to attend the wedding?“

“Yeah, “ he said without even bothering to turn back, “I'm here to meet an old friend.“

Luna frowned but before she could say anything further, she saw the welcome poster pasted at the entrance to the wedding hall.

On the welcome poster, a woman in a snow-white wedding gown was leaning elegantly on the groom. And the groom in the well-fitted suit... was Ben Zeller! Gwen's ex-husband, Ben Zeller!

Luna froze on the spot. She felt as if all the blood in her body was rushing to her head. She never thought the wedding Gwen was so excited to attend, the wedding of the female clan leader in the game would be Ben Zeller's! If Gwen knew...

At that moment, her phone rang. It was a call from Gwen.

“Luna, are you there yet? " On the other end of the phone, Gwen sounded excited. “I estimated the time, you should be there soon, so I called to ask. Is the bride beautiful?”

Luna held her phone and fell into silence for a long while before laughing sheepishly and said, “Ye... yes."

If she ignored the groom in the photo, the bride was indeed beautiful.

But...

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 642

“I'm glad she's beautiful! I knew she would be a very beautiful girl! Don't forget to take more photos of the wedding and show them to me once you're back! Oh right, have you met that clan member yet?“

Luna paused, then instinctively looked into the wedding hall. Table number 55 was empty. She licked her lips. “He just sent me a photo saying he's already at the wedding hall... but I think he walked out for a moment...“

“I'm glad he's there! I was worried you would feel bored attending the wedding alone, with someone to talk to and reminisce with, I 'm sure you won't feel lonely! I'm not as lucky as you, Luke sent me medicine to stabilize the baby again today... “ Luna sighed, listening to Gwen's weak voice. Suddenly, she did not dare tell her the truth.

Gwen obviously idolized the female clan leader. If she knew her groom was Ben... Luna could not bear to imagine the consequences.

Sighing, she comforted Gwen for a few moments before hanging up. Putting away her phone, she turned and saw Joshua standing in the near distance, a smile hanging from the corners of his lips as he looked at her. “It seems like both you and Gwen didn't know Ben is the groom.“

Luna pursed her lips, only just realizing why Joshua asked her whether she came to cause trouble the moment he saw her outside. She sucked in a deep breath. “Gwen and the bride have been virtual friends for years, she never knew what the bride looked like, so she asked me to attend the wedding on her behalf. But we never expected... ”

Joshua smiled faintly. ”So what do you plan to do?”

Luna shrugged. ”What else can I do , I'll take a few photos and crop the groom out of them.”

A fair amount of time had passed since Gwen and Ben divorced. This time when she came to Sea City, Gwen did not mention him at all, even though in the past out of three sentences she said, one of them would be about him. Since they had been divorced for so long, she should let go of the past. What was the point in causing trouble on Ben's wedding day? Otherwise, the public would think Gwen still had feelings for him, and they would keep discussing the reason behind their divorce in the first place.

”You're quite forgiving.” Joshua smiled and was about to say something when his phone rang. He smiled apologetically at her and then turned to answer the call.

When he raised his phone, the eagle-eyed Luna noticed the name that appeared on the screen was Alice. Her eyes turned cold. Sucking in a deep breath, she raised her legs and entered the wedding hall.

Table number 55 remained empty. But on the table , there was a delicately wrapped small box that read, 'To: Mona'.

Mona was her character's name in the game. This must be the present that the clan member prepared for her. After hesitating for a moment, she took out her phone and sent him a message. (I'm here, where are you?)

Very soon, her phone pinged with his reply. (Sorry, I had to answer a call.]

(It's fine, take your time. Can I open the present on the table?]

(Of course.]

After receiving his reply, Luna sucked in a deep breath and opened the small box. Inside was a clay doll, dressed in the red outfit of a female warrior, her character in the game. The doll looked quite old and aged, but it was still clean, as if it had been sealed shut since it was made. He must have prepared it years ago, when he came to see her. She never thought he would still be keeping it after so long.

Luna held the little doll, and could not help but laugh out loud. He looked like a solemn guy, she never thought he would give a present like this for her.

Outside the wedding hall.

Joshua ended the call. The moment he walked into the wedding hall, he saw Luna sitting beside table number ss. holding the doll that he prepared for his fellow clan member, smiling sweetly.

He paused violently. He took out his phone and sent her a message. (Do you like the present?]

The moment the message was sent, Luna lowered her head and looked at her phone, then started typing her reply. The moment she let go of her phone, his phone rang. (I do! It's so cute! ]

Joshua tightened his hand around his phone. But... she always told him she was from Sea City, while Luna, on the other hand, consistently claimed she grew up overseas.

What more did she lie to him about?

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 643

[How long more do you need?]

Luna waited for a long time at table number 55 but still, no one came. She could not help herself and sent him a message to ask him about it. Very soon, a reply came from the man.

[I'm sorry, a work emergency cropped up, I'm already at the airport.]

From a near distance, Joshua clearly saw the dip in Luna's shoulders after he sent the message. But still, she found a smiley face in the messaging app. [It's okay, work is more important. Receiving your gift has already made me happy enough.]

Maybe he was already here, but he was disappointed at her and did not want to see her?

Luna was no longer an innocent teenage girl, she knew there must be a reason behind an excuse like this. But since he was not willing to tell her, there was no point in asking further. Not meeting in real life might be a good idea too, at least that way they could still maintain their original good impression of each other. That was good too.

At this thought, Luna carefully placed the doll back into the box. Actually, her trip to meet the clan member was quite fruitful. At least she knew his feelings for her back then were genuine. Otherwise, he would not have kept this doll throughout the years.

“What are you looking at? “ Suddenly, a man's deep voice rang out beside her ears. She could recognize the owner of this voice even without raising her head.

She hurriedly closed the box in her hands, then lifted her head casually and looked at him. “It's just a small present from a friend.“

Joshua took the opportunity and sat down, a cold smile hanging from the corners of his lips. “Don't you just have one friend, Gwen, here in Sea City?

Which friend gave you this present?“

Luna frowned; his attitude made her slightly unhappy. “When were you such a gossip, Mr. Lynch?“

Joshua smiled. “I'm just curious. Why would you, who grew up in Sea City, be inextricably linked to Sea City?“

Luna narrowed her eyes and was about to say something when the host's voice rang out on stage, his tone lively and filled with laughter. “Dear friends, dear family, welcome to the wedding of Mr. Ben Zeller and Ms. Clover Bailey! Let us welcome the groom “

Accompanied by the melodious music, Ben walked elegantly to the middle of the stage, dressed in a white suit.

Luna could not help but sneer, he definitely did not have the personality to match his looks. She had to admit, after experiencing a jerk like Joshua, her tolerance had increased by a fair bit. Otherwise, she would surely puke at what a two-faced hypocrite he was.

But...

She instinctively glanced at the man sitting in front of her with a cold expression on his face. Under his influence, she could even tolerate an idiot like Ben Zeller.

Very soon, the bride, Clover Bailey entered the hall on her father's arm. Previously, she had only seen her name and the welcoming photos outside, she had never seen her in person. Only that she saw her in person...

Luna finally understood why she found her familiar when she saw the welcoming posters outside.

This woman... was the woman that followed Ben home the last time she accompanied Gwen back to the villa to back her belongings. Previously, she thought Clover sent Gwen the invitation without knowing about Gwen's relationship with Ben. But if this Clover Bailey was the Clover that Ben brough home that night, then she must have known.

So... she sent the invitation to Gwen on purpose. She was flaunting the fact that Ben was now hers.

Luna laughed coldly. It seemed like Ben and Clover shared true love.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 644

After all, Clover could still marry him happily even though she knew he was a jerk. Plus, she even invited Ben's ex-wife under the name that they were virtual friends, to show off the fact that she married a jerk. She was a rare breed indeed.

The wedding continued without a hitch. Finally, after the bride and groom exchanged rings, Ben lifted the microphone excitedly. “Everyone present is a witness to the love Clover and I share. Today, I would like to announce another piece of good news! Clover is pregnant! The baby is going to have a heartbeat soon! “

The moment Ben's words left his mouth, claps and the guests' well-wishes rang out in the hall, making the atmosphere bright and lively.

Instead, Luna frowned, somehow feeling a wave of disgust. Her reaction was not mental, but physical.

She was going to be sick. And she did indeed get sick. She snatched the paper towels from the table and could not help but lean on the table and retched.

She did not eat anything from morning till now and yet her stomach was constantly churning, as if something was about to rush out of her stomach.

Joshua frowned, initially thinking that she did this on purpose to throw shade at Ben. But after retching for a while, she looked more and more sickly. Only then did he realize she was not faking her discomfort. He held a cup of water and patted her back softly. “Are you okay?“

“I'm fi...“ Luna tried her best to repress the churning in her stomach, but could not stop herself from retching once more. Even though the sounds of her dry retch were not loud, the noise stood out in stark contrast in the wedding hall. Not long after, almost everyone turned their eyes to her.

On stage, Ben, who was busy picturing his beautiful future with Clover was also forced to stop. He frowned and glanced at the center of the commotion. With just a look, his eyes instantly turned ice -cold.

Luna Gibson? What was she doing here? He did not remember inviting her. Besides, this woman purposely leaned on the table and retched after he announced Clover was pregnant. What was she trying to do?! She was definitely doing this on purpose!

Standing on stage, flames almost burst out of Ben's eyes that were glaring at Luna.

“Miss, you can leave if you're not feeling well. Even though we did not invite you, since you're here, you're also a guest. But if you're sick, you should get your sickness treated, don't stay here and spoil the atmosphere, please?“

The moment these words left Ben's mouth,

everyone around her instantly turned to look at her.

“Why would she come for a free meal if they didn't even invite her?“

“It's fine if she's just here for a free meal, but she's dry-retching in the hall. It's so disgusting...“

“She's so rude. Her face is so pretty but who would've thought her actions were so despicable... "

The murmurs of the crowd around her turned uglier and uglier.

Luna frowned, but before she could speak, Joshua crossed his arms over his chest, leaned back coldly in his chair, and laughed, “Actually, you can't blame Ms. Luna for falling sick. After all, watching two such disgusting people say they're very happy... even I feel like vomiting."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 645

The moment the words left Joshua's words, the crowd exploded in an uproar. Everyone stared at Joshua, busy discussing the man's identity.

“Who is he, why is he so blatantly rude and arrogant “You don't know, right? He's Mr. Joshua Lynch from Banyan City, the man who destroyed the Walter family! He acquired the Larson Group, now the Larson Group is his... And the groom, Ben Zeller's ex-wife, is the daughter of the Larson Group...“

“He must be here to cause trouble, right?“ “Who would've thought this president is quite humane, he would even avenge the daughter of the Lynch Group after acquiring it...“

“Ben is doomed...“

In the wedding hall, the murmurs of the crowd rose like waves.

Seeing as everyone's attention switched from his wedding to Joshua's identity, Ben stood on stage, so furious that his face flushed red then purple.

“Mr. Lynch.“ Standing beside Ben, Clover raised her lips in a faint smile. “I know you're powerful, I also know you did not attend our wedding to wish us well. But...“

Clover tugged at the pure-white wedding gown on her frame, and elegantly looked at Joshua who remained seated in his chair. “You said we're disgusting, then you and your friend are not disgusting? ” With that, she arrogantly hooked her arm through Ben's.

”Ben and I only got together after his divorce. Freedom to love, without any ugly affairs or betrayal. But what about Gwen? Not only did she cheat on her husband, but she also had affairs with so many different men... After Ben found out, he divorced her, and still, she thinks he's a jerk? Previously I sent an invitation to her under the name of her virtual friend, because I was hoping she would come and personally witness our wedding, to quench all her hopes of rekindling her relationship with Ben.”

Clover raised her lips, then glanced coldly at Luna sitting beside Joshua. ”Sure enough, she doesn't have the guts to attend an event like this.”

Finally suppressing her nausea, Luna frowned and raised her eyes, glaring coldly at Clover. ”Gwen had no idea you were the woman who was in a relationship with Ben! If she did, she would never accept your invitation, let alone ask me to come here!"

This morning when Gwen called, she even asked her whether the bride was beautiful, whether the groom was handsome. At the thought of Gwen being fooled, and even smiled, wishing them well... Luna found Clover exceptionally repulsive.

”She didn't know? ” Clover laughed, ”I don't know whether to label you stupid, or innocent. Do you think Gwen really doesn't know my name?”

Luna paused violently at the woman's words. She narrowed her eyes. ”What... do you mean?”

”I mean, Gwen actually knew me a long time ago.”

Clover laughed coldly, “Before she and Ben got married, I was already his secretary. She knew my name was Clover Bailey and not just Clover. The name printed on the invitation I gave her was also Clover Bailey...“

She raised her eyebrows and looked at Luna. “You still don't get it? Your good friend knew I sent her the invitation, she knew Ben and I were getting married, but still, she agreed to come. I thought she was really brave enough to appear in our wedding hall. But I never expected, she would not have the guts to attend and instead sent you as fodder.“

Luna was stunned.

She was right... If Clover was Ben's secretary, then it was impossible that Gwen did not know her name, that she did not know that the virtual friend who sent her the invitation, was actually Ben's fiancé.

But still, she smiled and said she wished she could attend, that she wanted to see the bride and groom complete their wedding ceremony happily.

Luna closed her eyes.

At this moment, she did not know whether she should  be sympathetic  to Gwen, or reprimand her.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 646

It was true that Gwen could not move on from Ben after all.

She had been in love with him since high school, which was almost ten years ago now. How could she possibly have moved on from him so quickly?

“Maybe Gwen didn't come today so that you two would have a peaceful and pleasant wedding ceremony. She's just looking out for the two of you.“ Joshua could not help but sneer when he saw that Luna had fallen silent. “Miss Bailey, don't forget that Gwen and Ben have been together for almost ten years.

“Ten years is a very long time. Gwen clearly hasn't moved on from Ben yet, but how are you certain that he has moved on from her?“

Clover clenched her teeth. “Of course he has! He and I have such a strong relationship! “

Joshua snickered, “Since you're so sure that Ben has forgotten all about her in three months' time, even though they've been together for almost ten years... How are you so certain that your relationship with him can last? Considering you've been together for barely three months.“

Clover was enraged by his words and snarled, “What do you mean, we've been together for barely three months? Ben and I have been sleeping together since last year! We've been together for one and a half years now! Not three months, like what you think! “

Ben's eyes widened as soon as he heard this. He immediately reached out and clamped his hand on Clover's mouth. “Don't listen to her! Clover and I got together only after I divorced Gwen! “

However, it was too late. No one was listening to him anymore.

The guests started murmuring and whispering amongst themselves.

“I never thought this was the wedding between an unfaithful scumbag and his mistress! “

“I can't believe they had the audacity to claim that they got together after the divorce, and there wasn't any cheating or adultery... tsk...“

“No wonder Mr. Lynch called them disgusting. They slept together even though he was married to his wife. That's absolutely revolting! “

Ben's expression darkened when he heard the murmurs of the wedding guests.

“That's not the only reason I called them disgusting.“ Joshua sneered, then turned around to glance at Lucas, who was standing behind him.

Lucas immediately strode over and handed him a folder.

Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and shot the bride and groom a faint smile. “Initially, I didn't want to stick my nose into your business since Luke has given you the punishment you deserve.

“However, an old acquaintance of mine got in touch with me last night and wanted to catch up with me at a wedding, so naturally, I decided to look into this. I was surprised to discover that this was the wedding he was talking about.“

Joshua gracefully leaned back and continued, his cold gaze fixated on the bride and groom. “It just so happened that when my men were investigating you, we accidentally discovered that...“

He swept his glance across Clover's stomach and said, “The baby that the bride is carrying isn't three months old. She's already five months along now.“

The crowd erupted into a flurry of activity as they started discussing this sudden news.

Five months!

Ben had divorced his ex-wife, Gwen Larson, only three months ago! If Clover was five months along now...

That meant they had already been sleeping together even before Ben got divorced!

The wedding guests immediately flew into discordance. Some of them took out their phones to record this event, while others gossiped about this under their breath.

Some of the guests even stood up and left the venue altogether.

“Ben, you constantly surprise me.“

Just as the wedding guests were flurrying about, a feeble, female voice rang out from the direction of the entrance.

Everyone immediately looked in the direction where the voice had come from.

Gwen, wearing a patient's gown and sitting in a wheelchair , was slowly pushed into the room by Luke.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 647

There was a brief commotion as the wedding guests realized that Gwen was here.

Who would have thought that one would encounter so much at a wedding?

The bride had tried to show up the groom's ex—wife by sending her a wedding invitation, only to discover that the ex-wife's best friend had attended instead.

The ex-wife's best friend and her companion had tried to stir up unrest during the wedding, only to accidentally reveal the truth about the bride and groom's infidelity.

And then, the ex-wife herself appeared at the wedding venue...

This was more dramatic than any soap opera!

Luna frowned and quickly stood up. Then, she made her way to Gwen and grabbed hold of her hand. She asked in a low voice, “Gwennie, what are you doing here?“

Gwen answered, her face still pale and sickly, “Luke wanted to bring me here.“ She let out a sigh. “Luke is right. If I wanted to move on and forget about Ben, I shouldn't let you attend the wedding on my behalf and ask you to show me photos later. I shouldn't try to hide anymore.“

She lifted her gaze to stare at the bride and groom, who were standing motionless on the podium. “I should face them head-on.“ Then, she glanced at Ben with a contemptuous smirk. ”Although I didn't expect to uncover any surprises today.”

”I shou1d've known. In high school, you've always been in love with Luna Gibson. I wasn't your first choice at all, but after high school, Luna married someone else and moved to Banyan City. You knew you couldn't match up to Luna's husband, so you lowered your standards and married me instead, ” Gwen said in a cold voice.

”I've always been a rebound for you since the start. I shou1d've known that you would get rid of me as soon as you found someone more suitable for you. ” She stared straight at Ben and continued, ”Since Clover is already five months along now... even if what happened three months ago didn't happen, you still would've found an excuse to divorce me, wouldn't you?”

Ben's entire body stiffened when he heard this.

Although Gwen was harsh, she was still telling the truth.

He closed his eyes and said, ”Gwen, this isn't my fault! You and I have been married for more than five years now, but you've never borne me a child! I told you to take your time and that I don't mind waiting, but do you think I really don't?

”I switched out the contraceptive pills in your desk and even poked holes in the condoms we use!

Despite that, for five years, you never showed any signs of getting pregnant at all, and even though I begged you to get a gynecological checkup, you refused... Clover is different ! I 've only been with her for a year, but she's already gotten pregnant with my child! “

With that, Ben let out an exhale, stared at Gwen, and said in a harsh tone, “Gwen, I 'm not heartless, and I'm not a scumbag. It's because of you! It's your fault! If you had been able to get pregnant like a normal woman and been able to give birth to my child, I wouldn't have cheated on you at all! “

Gwen and Luna immediately exchanged a glance when they heard Ben's words. Their faces were etched with shock.

Ben was saying that... he cheated on Gwen because she could not bear a child for him?

If that was the case, then how could he explain the baby in Gwen's womb now?

Luna furrowed her brows and surreptitiously approached Gwen. “Is he... telling the truth?“

Gwen bit down on her lip and lowered her voice. “I always thought that he and I were both not mature enough to have children yet. That's why I kept using protection...“

However, if Ben had deliberately replaced Gwen's contraceptive pills and poked holes in their condoms Luna narrowed her eyes and glanced at Clover's belly. This had gotten much more interesting.

Ben always thought that the reason he and Gwen could not have children was because of her.

However, Gwen was pregnant now, which meant that her reproductive capabilities were perfectly fine.

This meant that the problem was with Ben himself.

However, Clover claimed that she was already five months pregnant with Ben's child.

Was Clover just exceptionally talented at bearing children, or did she... cheat on Ben?

Luna was willing to bet her money on the latter. The entire room fell into silence.

Joshua and Luke exchanged a glance, then snickered.

They, too, had clearly figured out what was wrong.

They continued to exchange meaningful looks for a while. Then finally, Gwen said, “Ben, I really feel sorry for you. Have you ever gotten yourself checked?“

Ben frowned and stared at Gwen with a stern look. “ What do you mean?“

“What she means is that...“ Luke smirked. “Have you ever seen a urologist? You think you've found your one true love, but in reality, you've been cheated on without any knowledge of it at all.“

Ben's eyes widened upon hearing this. He clenched his teeth and glared at Luke. “You... you're talking nonsense! “

He knew what a powerful and influential person Luke was. Therefore, he did not dare offend him at all. The best insult he could come up with was ' you're talking nonsense.'

“He's not talking nonsense.“ Gwen smiled. “When we were together, I've always used protection.

However, I had no idea that you replaced my pills and poked holes in the condoms. If I hadn't been able to get pregnant despite that, then it's definitely my fault.”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 648

“However.“ Gwen lifted her head and stared at Ben coldly. “I'm pregnant now.“

Ben immediately took a few steps back when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at Clover.

Clover lowered her head but did not say anything. The color had drained from her face.

Even though she did not say anything to admit or deny it, her reaction was already enough to prove Gwen right.

However, Ben was not willing to believe this!

He clenched his teeth in anger. “This... this is impossible! “

Clover remained silent for a while more, then finally lifted her head to glare at Gwen. “Miss Larson, since you claim you're pregnant now, then whose child is it? Could it possibly be Ben's?“

Ben froze when he heard this. Then, after a split second, he came to a realization.

Clover was right. Although Gwen was his ex-wife, it had only been less than three months since they separated. If Gwen was pregnant now and the child belonged to him, this meant that there was nothing wrong with him at all!

“The baby in Gwen's womb belongs to me, of course, “ Luke said coldly before Gwen could even open her mouth to speak. “I 'm a hundred percent sure. Although the baby isn't mature yet, we can always conduct a DNA test on it to find out.“

With that, he stared at Ben, a contemptuous smirk playing on his lips. “I can pay for you and your wife to do the same test as well.“

The color drained from Ben's face. He bit down on his lip and glanced at Clover's equally pale and colorless face. “Clover, what's going on?“

Clover pursed her lips nervously and stammered, her entire body shaking like a leaf. “I... I...“

At this point, she knew there was no hiding the truth anymore, so she finally admitted it. “Actually... the baby belongs to my ex-boyfriend...“

“You b*tch! “ Ben swung his arm back and slapped Clover across the face.

Ben's blow struck Clover so hard that she fell onto the ground. She propped herself up and spat out a mouthful of blood that, to everyone's horror, contained a single tooth!

“Gwennie! “ Ben immediately hopped off the podium and kneeled in front of Gwen. “Gwennie, will you forgive me? I will forgive you for sleeping with other men, so please forgive me for cheating on you, okay?“

Ben knew that after what happened at the wedding today, everyone in Banyan City would find out that he could not bear children. If that happened, no woman would be willing to date him anymore.

Therefore...

He wanted to get back together with his rebound, Gwen.

Gwen loved him so much. She would definitely—

However, to his surprise, Gwen, too, swung her arm back and slapped him across his face.

“Ben Zeller, you and I are even now. “ With that, she rubbed her sore hand and closed her eyes. “Luke, I'm tired. Let's go home now.“

Luke nodded and wheeled her out of the room.

Luna watched them leave and felt so wistful at this sight that she did not know what to say.

Who would have thought that Luke Jones, the leader of the biggest gang in Sea City, would be at Gwen's beck and call day and night.

“Are you sure you're not interested in Luke?“ After a long time, a teasing voice rang out next to Luna's ear.

Luna immediately came to.

Ben and Clover, along with their respective parents, had disappeared backstage, bickering and arguing about this sudden turn of events.

Meanwhile, most of the wedding guests had dispersed, leaving the venue significantly emptier than it had been before.

Joshua was still sitting next to her, drinking his coffee. Then, seeing that she had come to, he handed his cup to her and said, “That was a pretty good show, wasn't it?“

Luna took the cup from him and took a small sip. “ Not bad.“ Then, she put the cup down and said, “I guess this is what happens to people who cheat on their partners in a marriage. What do you think, Mr. Lynch?”

Joshua raised his eyebrows and chuckled when he heard Luna's question, ”Ms. Luna, you seem to be implying that I 'in the one who has cheated on my partner.”

Luna raised her eyebrows questioningly. ”Haven't you done it before, Mr. Lynch?”

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 649

Joshua narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner.

He fixated his cold stare on Luna and said, “ Technically, I have.“

He had indeed drunkenly slept with Luna before, not just once, but multiple times.

Luna chuckled.

Even though this man was a scumbag, at least he was honest about it. He still remembered that he had cheated on her with Aura.

Luna let out an exhale and stood up, clutching the gift that Big Brother had given her. “Well, since the show is over now, it's time for me to go back and rest now.“ With that, she let out a yawn.

Last night, Theo had departed abroad to find Neil and Nellie. However, the journey was a long and lonely one, so Luna had spent the entire night talking to him to keep him company.

This morning, Gwen had called her first thing in the morning and insisted that she get ready for the wedding.

Now that the wedding was over, Luna felt exhausted and starving.

“Why don't I send you back?“ Joshua suggested, catching sight of her weary face. She looked as though she was going to fall asleep at any moment. Joshua was afraid that if she went home by herself, she would fall asleep in the taxi.

Luna contemplated this for a moment. She did not feel like getting too close to Joshua, but as soon as she thought of Nigel...

“I don't want to trouble you.“

“It's no trouble at all.“ Joshua stood up and strode out of the wedding venue.

Luna let out another yawn and followed suit.

“Joshua! “ As soon as they reached the hotel entrance, they saw a red silhouette dart in from outside towards their direction. Before they could react, however, the person had already crashed into Joshua's arms.

“What are you doing here?“

Luna could finally make out who this person was. It was Alice, dressed in a red trench coat.

It had been a while since Luna saw her. Alice looked slimmer than before and appeared gentler than ever.

Alice clung to Joshua and said coyly, “I've been waiting for you at the hotel for a long time now, but you didn't come back. I thought maybe it was more fun at the wedding, so I decided to come! “

Then, she turned around to glance at Luna and beamed at her. “Ms. Luna, long time no see.“

Luna gave her a somewhat awkward smile in return. “ Hello, Mrs. Lynch.“

Luna lifted her head to glance at Joshua and said, “ Since Mrs. Lynch is already here, why don't you keep her company, Mr. Lynch? I can hail a taxi and get back myself.“

With that, she strode away.

Even though she was walking away from them, Luna could still hear Alice ask in a sugary tone, “Joshua, did you plan on sending Luna back?“

Joshua nodded. “She looks tired, so I was afraid that she would fall asleep on her way back.“

“Then let's send her home! “ Alice laid her head against Joshua. “She's the pride and joy of Lynch Group. We can't possibly let anything happen to her! I don't mind going anywhere, even if it's just sending Luna home, as long as I'm with you! “

Maybe to Joshua, Alice's voice sounded adorable and delicate, but to Luna, she could not help breaking out in goosebumps when she heard this.

Alice had deliberately made herself sound sweet and endearing...

Luna knew that Alice was just trying to imitate Luna Gibson in order to please Joshua, but she had never talked to Joshua like this before! The way Alice was talking made her skin crawl...

Luna could not help quickening her pace when she thought of this. She did not want them to catch up with her, and she had no intention of letting them send her home either.

However, she had barely made her way out of the door when Joshua's car pulled up in front of her, with Lucas at the wheel. “Luna, get in the car! “

Luna forced out a smile. “It's okay. You don't have to.”

”What do you mean, we don' t have to? ” Alice had already caught up to her.

She grabbed hold of Luna's hand and said graciously, “How can you take a taxi back when you're so exhausted? That would be extremely dangerous.

We'll send you home instead. Don't worry; it won't take us much time.“

Then, she turned around and glanced at Joshua, a smile still hanging on her face. “Isn't that right, Joshua?“

Joshua nodded, then opened the passenger side door gracefully. “Get in.“

Luna let out a sigh. As much as she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to get in the passenger's seat while Joshua and Alice got into the backseat.

Lucas started the car.

The car ride from Ocean View Hotel to Starhill Hotel, where Luna was staying, took almost t o minutes.

These to minutes felt like torture to Luna.

“Joshua, are you busy lately? When are you free? I want to take you to have some local delicacies here in Sea City.“

“Joshua, we haven't gone traveling in a long time now. Shall we go out this weekend?“

“Joshua, I've made you your favorite chicken soup. Let's go back to the hotel to drink it, shall we?“

It had been a few months since she last saw Alice, but somehow, Luna felt as though Alice was an entirely different person now. She was treating Joshua so nicely that it bordered on ludicrous.

Luna frowned and snuck a glance at Alice through the rearview mirror.

It was the same face she recognized, along with the familiar glint in her eyes, but Alice's personality was entirely different now. How could she possibly have changed so much in two months?

This was extremely baffling.

Finally, the car pulled up in front of Starhill Hotel. Luna could finally escape from this living hell. She immediately flung the door open and leaped out of the car as if she was running for her life.

“Joshua...“ Alice said, grinning, as soon as Luna got out of the car.

“That's enough, Alice.“ Joshua interrupted her even before she could finish her sentence. “Luna's gone now. You don't have to continue pretending anymore.“

Alice, who was about to say something else to please him, immediately froze when she heard this. She lowered her head and, after a long pause, finally said somewhat dejectedly, “I 'm not pretending just for her sake...“

“That's too much.“ Joshua closed his eyes and continued coldly. “Haven't I told you this already? I came to Sea City for a business trip, and you shouldn't come along.“

The atmosphere in the car fell into a somber silence.

Alice bit down on her lip and glanced at Joshua with a pained expression. “Joshua, you haven't been home to see me in a long time now. The children are away at summer camp abroad, and you don't allow me to work at Lynch Group either. Now that you're not at home... I feel so lonely all by myself.

“I heard that you went on a business trip to Sea City, so I thought that since this place is my hometown, I should probably come along to show you around, and maybe spend some time and relax with you... that's why I came here.“

Alice sniffed in a somewhat aggrieved manner. “ Don't worry. I won't cause you any trouble. If you don't like me here, then I'll leave immediately...“

Joshua let out a sigh and gazed at Alice. This was the woman he had longed to be with for years now. He sighed again and finally said, “Since you're already here, then stay.“

A glimmer of delight flashed through Alice's eyes. She grabbed hold of Joshua's hand, elated, and said, “I 've made you some food at the hotel. Why don't we go back now to eat?“

Joshua squinted, then nodded his head in agreement. “I made you chicken soup and some other dishes that you like. Why don't you have a taste?“ As soon as they returned to the hotel, Alice led Joshua into the dining room and set the table. She ladled some soup for him and handed him his cutlery.

Joshua drank the entire bowl of soup with a faint smile. “It's not bad at all.“

A triumphant glint flashed through Alice's eyes, and she immediately ladled some more soup into his bowl. “If you like it, you should drink more!"

Joshua took the bowl from her and finished it within minutes. Then another.

As soon as he slurped down the third bowl of soup, Joshua slumped down onto the table with a thud.

Alice finally let her guard down and sneered. Then, she went into Joshua's room and rummaged around it.

After he had left, she had scoured both his study and office in search of the divorce agreement papers, but to no avail.

Therefore, she was certain that he had taken them along with him to Sea City!
