Ch. 701..710
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 701
“Can't I just see you without any purpose?“ Bonnie laughed.
“We have not seen each other for a long time. Should we have coffee?“
Luna hesitated for a while. In the end, she still nodded her head slowly.
She was heartbroken for Bonnie, just like how she was heartbroken for her past self who was so obsessed with Joshua.
The two of them sat down in the cafe.
Bonnie ordered a cup of hot coffee. Luna ordered a cup of room-temperature fruit juice.
“Time sure passes by quickly.“ Bonnie sighed. She stirred the coffee in front of her while smiling flatly.
“It felt just like yesterday when we first met. At that time, you just arrived at the Lynch Group's design department. You were bullied by Courtney and Shannon. I thought you were just like me...“
Then, Bonnie looked at Luna with a deep gaze. “Who would have thought that so many things happened after that...“
Luna lowered her head and sighed a little, “Yes.“
Time passed by so quickly. When she first knew Bonnie, Luna was still filled with hope that she could get pregnant with Joshua's child, to cure Nigel's sickness.
At that moment, the harsh reality was almost crushing her down.
“I'm getting married soon.“ Bonnie took a deep breath, retrieved an invitation from her bag, and placed it in front of Luna.
“It'll be a few days later. I hope that you could attend and witness my happiness.“
Luna picked up the invitation. 'Bonnie and Jason'
was written on it. Her breathing shortened a little.
Luna lifted her head. “Are you really sure that you want to marry him?“
“If not?“ Bonnie raised her eyebrows. Her eyes were filled with some coldness.
“Should I have listened to you and broken up with him?“
Luna's breathing stopped for a while. She subconsciously raised her head up.
The current Bonnie in front of her has long kept her previous affection and gentleness. Her clear eyes were filled with winter-like coldness.
“Luna, actually, I find it quite unbelievable. Where in the world did you find the courage to say such things to me?“
Luna slightly narrowed her eyes. She threw the invitation back onto the table and crossed her arms around her chest.
Although Bonnie's reaction was a surprise to her, it was expected too.
When she saw how Bonnie came to look for her, Luna was actually a little worried.
After all, at that moment, in Bonnie's eyes, Jason was her everything.
Bonnie would have known about the feud between Luna and Jason.
It was only that because Bonnie was as pitiful as herself in the past, Luna decided to believe her. She did not expect that after a few minutes in the cafe, Bonnie revealed her true colors.
At that thought, Luna slightly raised her brows. Her gaze was flat.
“I, too, want to know what Jason told you.“ “He told me everything! “
Bonnie gripped the cup of coffee tightly in her hand. Her eyes were filled with deep resentment.
“Back then, when you and Jason picked me up from the mental asylum, I still treated you as a good friend! Besides Jason, you're the only person I can trust in this world.
“I never would have thought that the main culprit who got me taken back to the mental asylum was you! “
Bonnie gritted her teeth. “Luna, I pity you that you had an unhappy life, but why do you have to be jealous of our relationship? Not only did you lock me up in the mental asylum, but you went for Jason too! You locked him up as well.
“If it were not for Mr. Lynch's change of heart in the end and let Jason go, Jason would have been like me, suffering as if he was in prison!"
Looking at the rage in Bonnie's eyes, Luna could not help but smile.
At that moment, she finally understood how the pitiful always had an insufferable side.
Luna took pity on Bonnie. She felt that Bonnie was like her in the past, being blinded by love.
However, Bonnie felt that Luna was jealous and envious of their so-called love?
Luna yawned and swept Bonnie a cold glance.
“What is there for me to be jealous of?" Luna's tone was ice-cold.
“I'm aware of your story. You grew up with Jason. In your eyes, you both are childhood sweethearts destined to be together, is that it?"
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 702
Bonnie harrumphed coldly. She had a proud expression. “Yes, we are! “
“Is that so?“
Luna crossed her arms around her chest and leaned back. She gracefully leaned back against the leather seat in the cafe.
“Then, let me ask you. Since the both of you love each other so much and you're the destined lovers of everyone's envy, then why did Jason leave Banyan City six years ago without any contact?“
Bonnie's eyes widened upon Luna's words.
“That's because Jason was being framed by others abroad. He had no way of contacting me?“
“Is this the explanation that he gave you?“
Luna yawned. “What a coincidence. I have been abroad all these years, living comfortably too. Tell me then, which country, area, and by who or which organization was framing Jason?“
Luna's words made Bonnie secretly clasp her hands together.
Bonnie gritted her teeth. “Although I've never asked him this before, Jason would never lie to me! “
“Then, did you know that when your beloved Jason was abroad, not only did he have a girlfriend, but he also had a child with her? Do you know that his girlfriend and child are in Banyan City?“
Bonnie's eyes widened. She pointed at Luna furiously. “You're talking nonsense! “
Bonnie grew up with Jason. She was very clear about what type of person Jason was and how much he liked her!
When Jason was abroad, his freedom was restricted by someone. They forced him to do hard labor. He went through days of suffering! How could he have a girlfriend abroad? They even had a child together?
Impossible!
Luna sneered. “Am I talking nonsense, or is it because you only have eyes for Jason, so you can't accept the real truth?“
Previously, Luna remembered clearly that Zach and Yuri had told her that Jason, his wife, and their three
-year-old son were already in Banyan City.
It was only that this woman was very smart. She has never shown herself.
“You! “
Bonnie gritted her teeth hard. “You're slandering ! “
Then, Bonnie got up and angrily lifted her cup of coffee. She splashed the coffee directly at Luna's face
The moment the coffee came splashing at her, Luna instinctively swerved. However, Bonnie's actions were too quick. Luna could not avoid it.
In the nick of time, a large figure blocked Luna, coming in between her and the coffee. The cup of coffee was all splashed onto that person.
Looking at the man drenched in coffee which was still steaming, Bonnie's eyes widened.
“Yuri?“
Luna paused for a little before subconsciously looking at the man blocking her.
It was indeed Yuri, someone whom she had not seen in a long time.
“Ms. Luna.“ Another calm and low man's voice rang out behind her.
Luna turned back to see Zach slowly approaching her. “Yuri and I...have been constantly following you. “
Luna's eyes widened. They had been constantly following her? She did not even notice.
Zach took a piece of tissue and passed it to Yuri to wipe off the coffee stains on him. He sighed.
“We didn't protect our boss, which caused him to...“ Yuri choked a little. “We're very sorry for your loss. We only dared to follow you and protect you in secret. We don't dare to talk to you...“
Zach's words were a little heart-wrenching to Luna.
Back then, when Neil got Zach and Yuri to follow him, she thought that it was just a joke.
However, at that moment, she truly believed it. Zach, Yuri, and Neil were truly friends in life and death.
Luna sighed and patted the two of them on their shoulders. “It's not your fault.“
If Joshua had not been unsuspecting of Alice, Neil would not have...
Looking at the three of them talking, Bonnie could not help but furrow her brows.
“You three..."
Since when did Zach and Yuri become so close with Luna?
Zach turned to look at Bonnie.
“Bonnie, actually what Ms. Luna told you just now...is all true."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 703
Bonnie subconsciously took a step backward.
She furrowed her brows and looked at Zach. She had a guarded gaze.
“Since when did you know Luna? When were you brainwashed by her?“
Zach has been friends with Jason since young. They grew up together in the same village.
Technically speaking, Zach and Yuri should be on Jason's side. Why did they not only protect Luna when she splashed coffee at her, but they also stood by Luna's side, saying what she said was all true?
“We have not been brainwashed.“
Zach sighed and looked at Bonnie's face closely. “We also grew up in the same village. Since when did Yuri and I ever lie?“
Bonnie bit her lips.
It was true. Zach and Yuri were the most honest adopted children in their village. They were simple and honest. They would never cheat or lie since young. They were always teased by Jason and the other kids.
Bonnie had also been cheered up by their straightforwardness and simpleness many times.
However, at that moment... Bonnie bit her lips.
“It doesn't mean that you won't lie now even if you've never lied since young.“
No matter what others said, she would never believe that Jason would betray her! He came back to her from abroad after going through so many difficulties! They were clearly about to get married soon! They were going to be living happily ever after!
Upon Bonnie's words, Luna, who was using a piece of tissue to wipe up the coffee stains on Yuri, slightly faltered.
“You would rather believe that a person who never lies would lie to you, yet you refuse to believe that someone who lies out of habit would lie to you. Is that it?“
Upon her words, Bonnie's face instantly turned a little pale.
Bonnie bit her lips.
“You, shut up! I'm talking to Zach. What right do you have to talk! “
Although she inherited her family wealth not long ago, she was the Craig family's only heir at that moment. She was a billionaire.
Luna had no right to speak to her that way.
Zach furrowed his brows and swept a glance at Bonnie. He sneered.
“It's clearly different when you're rich, but...“
Zach took a deep breath and immediately took his phone out. He retrieved a few photos and showed them to Bonnie.
“Look.“
The photos were of Jason with another woman. The woman was demurely leaning on Jason's shoulders. Jason was hugging her tightly. The two of them were as sweet as a couple can be.
Bonnie only felt as if a loud explosive rang in her head.
Yuri reacted quickly and helped Bonnie up before she could fall.
Zach, on the other hand, continued tapping on his phone with a cold expression. He was searching for other photos.
The background of the photos was all overseas. Every photo was with Jason and that woman.
Occasionally, there would also be an adorable boy who looked like he was only a few years old.
After a long while, Zach finished flipping through the album. He lifted his gaze and looked at Bonnie flatly.
“These are the photos Jason sent us for the past six years. Previously, he never intended to return to the country. He also did not plan to reunite with you, that was why he got married and had a child abroad...“
Then, he sighed, “Later on, he heard that all of your family had passed away and they left you a huge fortune...“
Bonnie swayed. She subconsciously took a step backward. Her face was filled with disbelief.
“I—Impossible!"
Jason was someone with whom she grew up together. He was her life's belief!
Jason said that he was being forced into hard labor abroad.
Jason also said that wandering around overseas all those years, there were a few times he wanted to die. If it were not for his feelings toward her and how he missed her, he might not have lived...
He said that seeing her again was what supported him to live on and returned back to the country.
However, if what Jason said were all through and he was not lying, then how should she explain the photos that Zach showed her?
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 704
Could the photo be made up?
Bonnie bit her lips and snatched the phone over. She analyzed the photos carefully.
She was a news reporter herself. Whether a photo was made, she could notice it if she observed it carefully.
However, Bonnie seriously and carefully looked at the photos once again.
None.
There were no signs of the photos being made up.
“All of the photos are real, even if you look at it longer, you won't be able to see anything."
Realizing Bonnie's intentions, Luna sighed. She felt emotional. She was once like Bonnie, unconditionally believing in Joshua.
A woman in love would always think that their partners were the best and perfect ones.
In actual fact...
Bonnie's face was pale. She raised her head and looked at Luna. Her eyes were reddened.
However, she still forced back her tears. “No...this can't be."
“You'll soon find out."
Luna took a deep breath. She returned back to her seat in front of Bonnie.
“Why don't we place a bet?“
Bonnie bit her lips and looked at Luna. “What bet?“
“I'll bet that I could let you see Jason's true colors in three days. However, from your actions just now, you have no longer treated me as a friend.“
Luna's gaze turned cold. “Since you don't treat me as a friend anymore, I don't need to be so polite with you too. If I give you enough reason and evidence to convince you...you have to promise me one thing.“
Bonnie thought for a while. In the end, she nodded her head heavily.
“Okay.“
She sat in front of Luna. Bonnie was about to ask Luna what her request was when her phone rang. It was from Jason.
Bonnie glanced at Luna. She did not avoid her and picked up the call directly in front of Luna.
“Hmm, I'll go over right now.“
After she hung up the call, Bonnie took a deep breath and looked at Luna.
“He's waiting for me at the mall. We have made an arrangement to go get our fingers measured to custom-make our rings.“
Luna gracefully stood up. “I'll tag along.“
Upon hearing Luna wanting to go and see Jason, Zach and Yuri looked at each other. Then, they stood by her on each side.
“We'll protect you.“
The main reason why they were willing to expose Jason in front of Bonnie was that they knew that Jason had tried to harm Luna a few times.
Since they could not protect their boss, Neil, they had to help Neil protect his family.
Luna rolled her eyes at them.
“If you followed me to see Jason, won't you be afraid that Jason has found out that you two turned on him? “
Zach and Yuri glanced at each other. “But...“
“Don't worry.“ Luna glanced at the two men in black in the far distance from the coffee shop.
“There are people protecting me.“ Gwen was the one who asked Luke to arrange those two men to protect her.
Luna trusted Luke's men.
Upon Luna's words, Zach and Yuri could only sigh and let Luna leave.
When Luna and Bonnie left the cafe and got into the car heading toward the mall, the two men in black who had been keeping watch outside soon followed along in their car.
“Sir.“
One of the men in black at the passenger seat took his phone out and dialed Joshua.
“Ms. Luna and Ms. Bonnie left together. They're heading to the mall to meet with Jason to choose their wedding rings.“
In the empty and cold office, Joshua narrowed his eyes a little upon listening to the call.
Did Luna not say that he was the one that sent Jason over to harm her? Why did she suddenly become so close to Bonnie and Jason?
After hanging up the call, Joshua hesitated for a while. In the end, he still stood up. “Cancel all meetings today. Lucas, prepare the car. We're going to the mall."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 705
When Luna and Bonnie reached the mall, Jason was already standing at the entrance with a huge bouquet of roses.
Luna has not seen Jason for almost a month.
Back then when they were in Sea City, Jason wore a dark blue outdoor jacket. He had dark stubble on his face, looking malicious and sly.
At that moment, Jason, who climbed the money tree that is Bonnie, was in an off-white suit, looking clean and suave.
The bouquet of roses in his arms was huge. It looked like it was 99 stalks of roses.
The quality and quantity of the bouquet was not something Jason, the type of person who constantly works hard for the money, could afford.
Luna even deduced that the roses that Jason bought for Bonnie must have been using Bonnie's money.
At that thought, Luna swept a glance at Bonnie. “ Let's get down.“
In the car, Bonnie looked at Jason who was hugging a bouquet of roses. The first emotion that rose up in her was not elated joy, but annoyance.
Back then, when Jason gave her anything, even if it was just a bottle of drink, she would jump in excitement.
However, at that moment...
Looking at the bouquet of roses in Jason's arm, those photos that Zach showed her appeared on her mind.
If the photos were real, did that mean that he had also given the woman such a bouquet of flowers?
At that thought, Bonnie had trouble breathing.
Although Bonnie was reluctant to get out of the car, Jason, by the entrance of the mall, had already recognized their car.
Thus, Jason, with the huge bouquet of roses in his arms, strode over to the car.
He smiled gently and opened the door. He chuckled lightly, “My princess, are you expecting me to come over to get you out of the car?“
However, Jason did not expect that the moment he opened the car door, the first person he saw was not Bonnie. It was Luna.
Luna, the woman that had been unconscious for more than a month. The woman that just gained consciousness not long ago.
Jason furrowed his brows hard. He gazed at Luna deeply and coldly.
“Why are you in Bonnie's car?“
“We bumped into each other, so we just had a catch- up.“
Compared to Jason's shock, Luna was much calmer.
She got down from the car, since Jason had already opened the door, and swept a glance at the bouquet of roses in Jason's arms. “How romantic.“
Then, Luna turned to look at Bonnie. “Come on.“
Bonnie bit her lips and sighed before getting out of the car. Jason could no longer care what Luna was doing. He eagerly passed the huge bouquet of roses i n his arms to Bonnie.
“Do you like it?“
Bonnie's face was slightly pale. “Y-Yes...“
Actually, she did not want to accept the bouquet of flowers.
She wanted to directly ask Jason what was going on with those photos and whether he was cheating her or not!
However...
Before they arrived, Luna constantly reminded her that before they could produce evidence, Bonnie had to make sure Jason did not find out about it, so Bonnie could only continue with the pretense.
However, she still did not dare to look at Jason.
Bonnie looked away. She directly accepted the bouquet of flowers and entered the mall.
“Let's go.“
Jason noticed that something was off with Bonnie. He squinted his eyes and slowed down his steps. He said with a suppressed tone at Luna.
“What did you say to her?“
“Nothing."
Luna smiled and raised her eyebrows at Jason. “It was explained to me. You're not one of his men. You also did not follow orders to make me have a miscarriage."
Then, Luna yawned. “Two of my children are dead now. My heart is extremely dead and cold. I have no time to deal with you. I was only catching up with Bonnie. After all, I don't have many friends. She's considered one of my friends."
Luna looked at Jason and raised her eyebrows.
“To be able to see a friend I like getting married is a happy thing, right? What do you think?"
Jason narrowed his eyes.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 706
Jason did not believe a single word Luna said.
“Luna.“
Bonnie, who was in front of them, took a few steps before she remembered Luna.
She passed the bouquet of roses to the security guard by the side. Just when she turned back, wanting to speak to Luna, she saw how Jason was looking at Luna with a vicious gaze.
That gaze made Bonnie's heart skip a beat. This was the first time she saw Jason having such an expression.
Bonnie instinctively walked over and pulled Luna's hand. She placed herself in front of Luna, blocking her. “Jason, Luna locking me up in the mental asylum was all a misunderstanding. I've already let it go. I hope you do the same too. She's tagging along to help us pick out our ring. Stop finding fault with her.“
Upon Bonnie's words only then did Jason's tensed expression relaxed a little.
He furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. He smiled. “Thank you so much for your help, Ms. Luna, taking the time out to accompany Bonnie and me to pick out a ring.“
Luna smiled flatly. “I'm not busy, I 'm quite free.“
Jason's expressions changed. Bonnie no longer bothered with Jason. She directly took Luna's hand and strode into the mall.
“This mall used to belong to us, the Craig family, but later on, because the profits were not too good, we sold it out. I don't know who the current boss is.“
Then, Bonnie directly headed to the jewelry section. “But, no worries, my mission now is just to buy.“
Luna furrowed her brows and swept a glance at the jewelry on display. She only needed one look to know that the boss of the mall was Joshua.
Luna had seen many of the jewelry on display before. Some were even her designs.
“Ms. Craig.“
Upon seeing Bonnie, the salesperson of the jewelry store passionately greeted her.
“Are you here to buy a wedding ring?“ Bonnie blushed a little. “Yes.“
“Please look over here.“
The salesperson's explanation made Luna sleepy. She laid her head on the counter.
It had to be said that the salesperson was great at promoting. However, when they were explaining the design of the product, it was far from her design concept.
Just when Luna almost fell asleep, Jason came over.
He placed a cup of water in front of Luna. Then, he crossed his arms around his chest and looked at Luna coldly.
“Who would have thought that you are still alive. “
Luna also smiled. “I never would have thought that you are getting engaged too, Mr. Lane.“
Jason narrowed his eyes. He said in a suppressed tone, “Luna, know your place. Leave while Bonnie is too busy to notice you. If not, do you believe that all it takes is for me to whisper words into her ears, making her doubt all that you said?“
Luna chuckled a little. “You're that great?“
“Of course.“ Jason picked up his cup and took a sip. His gaze was void of any warmth.
“Ms. Luna, you should know how great I ann. Six years ago, I crashed into you with a car. I thought that you had died, but I never thought that you survived. Not long ago, at Sea City Airport, you had a miscarriage. I hid you in a secluded corner. You almost died too. Do you still remember?“
Luna narrowed her eyes. She clenched her fists tightly.
Jason, in front of her, was still looking smug.
“You better leave now. I can still spare your life.“ Luna laughed.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 707
“Because of the incident six years ago, I used to be afraid of you. Perhaps previously, if you threatened me, I would really be frightened by you, but now...“
Luna smiled. She gracefully picked up the cup of water and took a sip.
“Do you think I'm still afraid of your threats?“
She has already lost Neil and was about to lose Nigel. Even Nellie was depressed and autistic.
Could life be any worse for her?
Also, sometimes, Luna thought that if she were to be more courageous back then and directly went up against Jason, not ignoring him stalking her, would things have been different?
Thus, at that moment, she decided that she would start with Jason.
She would let Jason, and Joshua, who was supporting him, pay the price they should have paid!
“How is this! “ Just when Luna and Jason were in a tense stand -off, Bonnie excitedly rushed over. She showed off the diamond ring on her finger to both of them.
“I like this one a lot! “
Luna furrowed her brows, then she smiled. “This is my design.“
Bonnie's eyes instantly widened. “Wow! “
She grabbed Jason's arm excitedly! “Luna's amazing! “
Jason furrowed his brows inconspicuously and nodded his head superficially. “Amazing, amazing.“
Bonnie did not notice that something was off with Jason. She excitedly pulled him over to try out rings.
Luna had nothing to do. She went over to inform Bonnie before shopping around at the mall.
“Do you think Joshua Lynch would like this type of pure white dress?“
When Luna was at a women's wear shop, a sweet, melodious voice rang out. Upon hearing a familiar name being mentioned, Luna furrowed her brows and stopped in her tracks.
She subconsciously looked in the direction of the shop and saw a slender figure in the shop.
The lady was wearing a long white linen dress. Her long black hair was by her waist.
Just by looking at her figure, Luna sensed a pitiful aura oozing from the lady.
Next to the lady stood another middle-aged woman. The woman gently chuckled.
“You look good in anything, Ms. Blake.“
The lady paused a little. Her voice was gentle. “Today is the first time I'm meeting Joshua. I want to leave a good impression.“
“He will definitely have a good impression on you...“ Upon hearing their conversation, Luna sneered, turned, and left.
Even if Joshua was a scumbag, but with his face and wealth...
He was never short of blind women.
After walking for a short while, Bonnie called Luna. She and Jason had already chosen their rings. They were about to go have lunch, so they invited Luna along.
Luna accepted their invitation.
Although those words that Jason said to her a moment ago had already revealed his true colors, if Luna wanted Bonnie to give up on him...
Luna grabbed the recording device in her pocket. It was not enough.
Bonnie picked the restaurant for lunch, it was located below the mall.
It was the famous Bamboo Palace.
The moment Luna entered Bamboo Palace, she was feeling extremely emotional.
The last time she was there, she was with Theo. At that moment...
At that thought, Luna secretly clenched her fists tightly by her side.
The three of them did not select a private room, they directly sat at a table by the window.
Once they finished ordering, Luna noticed a group of people coming down from the upper floor.
Among the group of people, a tall man's aura stood out from the rest of the group.
The other men around him opened their mouths, flattering him.
“Mr. Lynch, thank you for your time to have a meal with us."
“Mr. Lynch, I never would have thought to be able to meet you here in such a place."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 708
“Mr. Lynch, do you like shopping here in this mall? If you do, we can always accompany you...“
Looking at how the men were vying for attention, Luna could not help but furrow her brows.
She thought about that woman in the mall.
Why was it that no matter men or women, they desperately wanted to get close to Joshua?
His pretense was top-notch.
Perhaps he felt Luna's gaze on him, Joshua furrowed his brows and looked in Luna's direction.
Their gaze met.
Luna furrowed her brows. She immediately looked away.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and swept Luna a glance. Then, he swept another glance at Bonnie and Jason next to Luna.
He was there initially because he wanted to make clear of Luna's relationship between Bonnie and Jason, yet when he reached the mall, he was being badgered by those men.
Who would have thought that...
It was such a coincidence that they were there having their meal too.
“Everyone.“
Joshua chuckled a little. He swept a glance at those men surrounding him.
“I still have some personal matters to attend to.“
The men looked at each other, then they bade farewell to Joshua before leaving.
Once the group left, Joshua smiled and calmly walked over to the three of them. He sat down slowly and smugly next to Luna.
“I'm sure you don't mind me joining in?“
“We do,“ Luna furrowed her brows and said coldly. Bonnie was stunned. “N-No, we don't mind! “
Then, Bonnie looked at Luna. She said in a suppressed tone while looking at Joshua. “Did you two fight?“
Because of Jason, Bonnie was angry at Luna. Thus, when Bonnie knew that Luna was unconscious, she would go to the hospital to check up on her every other day to see if she had gained consciousness yet.
Throughout that entire month, almost every time she went to look for Luna in the hospital, from the distance she could see Joshua silently looking after Luna next to her bed.
Although it was not Bonnie's place to comment on their relationship, she knew that without a hundred percent love, no one would be so determined to stay by a woman, who no one knew when she was going to come around, for so long.
However, at that moment, Luna clearly did not want to deal with Joshua.
“No.“
Joshua gracefully picked up a teapot and poured tea for Luna.
“She's not in a good mood. I heard that you two are getting married.“
Joshua raised his gaze and looked at Jason. “Congrats on your marriage.“
Joshua's gaze seemed to be able to penetrate one's mind, reading their inner thoughts.
Jason gently cleared his throat. “All thanks to you.“
Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Since when did it have to do with me?“
He crossed his arms around his chest and leaned back.
“I don't ever remember that we have anything to do with each other. No. I can't consider it that way. Back then, when you were nearby around Luna's house and wanted to assassinate her, I was the one who caught you, right?“
Luna could not help but furrowed her brows at Joshua's words. Was Joshua trying to pretend that he and Jason did not know each other in front of her?
What? Did he think that she was still as gullible as before?
Luna pursed her lips. She subconsciously looked at Jason.
Jason's face turned pale and blue. “Y-Yes..."
He was afraid that the fact that he and Joshua were not acquainted would be exposed in front of Luna, so he immediately looked away.
“Mr. Lynch, you're here today on business?" “Yes, and no."
Joshua instantly noticed the franticness in Jason's eyes.
“Business is secondary."
Joshua smiled mockingly and looked at Jason. “I came here especially to look for you. I heard that you know me very well. You knew me from six years back."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 709
Jason's face involuntarily turned pale upon Joshua's words.
He cleared his throat and lowered his head to drink tea. “You remembered it wrongly?“
“Oh, I did? “ Joshua sneered. He swept Jason a cold glance.
“Is that so?“ Then, Jason turned to look at Luna indifferently. “He said that I remembered it wrongly.“
Luna narrowed her eyes. She clasped her hands together tightly under the table.
What were Joshua and Jason playing at? One was placing blame while the other tried hard to avoid.
Did they discuss this beforehand to go back and forth like this in front of her?
Joshua sure put in the effort to fool her!
Luna harrumphed coldly and immediately got up. “ Why bother putting an act in front of me?“
She looked at Joshua, then at Jason. Her eyes were cold.
“I don't like people pretending in front of me. You can act for yourselves all you want! “
Then, Luna apologized to Bonnie, turned, and left.
“Luna! “
Bonnie furrowed her brows. Looking at Luna storming off in anger, she immediately chased after her.
After both women left, it was only Joshua and Jason at the table.
Leaning on the chair, Joshua leaned backward. He swept Jason a cold glance.
“Looks like your acting skills are better, Mr. Lane.“
Luna believed what Jason said, but she did not buy a single word of his.
Joshua felt that it was not that Luna trusted Jason more. It was only that...
She did not trust him.
“Likewise.“
Jason sneered and looked at Joshua.
“Mr. Lynch, actually, I don't understand. Is Luna, this woman, that important to you? If you really liked her, why did you hire someone to murder her back then? You got her killed six years ago, yet you pretend to be deeply in love six years later. Don't you feel disgusted by your actions?“
Joshua fiercely narrowed his eyes upon Jason's words. The surrounding temperature turned cold too.
He glared at Jason coldly. “Watch what you're saying.“
Since when did he hire someone to get Luna killed?
On the day of her accident, he was in Sea City for an extremely long meeting from morning till afternoon.
That time, he was out on a business trip for a long time. He missed her a lot too.
That morning, Aura returned to Banyan City. He even prepared a present for Aura to bring back to Luna.
After being married for so long, he might not like her in the beginning, but later on, he fell for her deeply.
Joshua thought that once the meeting was over, he would return home to tell her that she has become an indispensable part of his life already.
However, the incident that happened later on….
He lost his chance forever to confess this to her.
“Did you not?” Jason laughed, “The person that hired me back then told me clearly that you were the one that wanted Luna killed. The person also said that Luna was not the person that you loved, yet she took up the position of being your wife for so long. You could not stand her anymore.”
Every word Jason said made the surrounding atmosphere drop by a degree.
When he finished saying that, the coldness and rigidness oozing from Joshua was even colder than the AC.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at Jason. “So, back then, the person that hurt Luna…” “It was really you?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 710
Back then after Luna's accident, Joshua and the police had investigated for a very long time.
In the end, they only managed to find out that the truck was a stolen one.
Back then, the driver's face could not be seen clearly because the traffic surveillance was destroyed.
Jason smiled and admitted it generously with a chuckle, “Of course, it was me.“
Then, Jason relaxedly placed both his arms behind his head. He looked at Joshua lazily. Joshua furrowed his brows tightly.
“Why are you pretending to be so shocked, Mr. Lynch? Back then, funds were transferred from your company's account to fund my escape. If it wasn't you, who would possibly be able to get the company to transfer five hundred thousand dollars to such an irrelevant person like me?
“I know that you want to please Luna right now, you want to pretend that the incident back then had nothing to do with you. If it was previously, you could just give me a hundred thousand or two and I'll play along with you to keep your secret.“
Then, Jason raised his brows and looked at Bonnie through the window, who was grabbing onto Luna and talking to her outside.
“But now, I have her. When I marry her, I would also become one of the wealthiest in Banyan City. If you want me to play along with your act...“
Jason rubbed his fingers together. “You need to give me more money.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes fiercely. Six years ago, the public account, five hundred thousand dollars.
He still remembered clearly.
The five hundred thousand dollars was all the bonus and salary for Aura as his personal secretary.
At that time, Aura professed with grief that her sister Luna Gibson went missing. She wanted to take out all of her money from her salary to help look for her.
Even when Joshua said that he would search using all his powers so that Aura did not need to spend any money or effort, she was still determined to do so.
Joshua was touched by Aura's actions, so much so he even got the bursary to give her more money.
Initially, it was only three hundred thousand, but it was increased to five hundred thousand in the end.
He never would have thought...
Joshua squinted his eyes and swept Jason a cold glance. “Back then, the person that contacted you saying that I wanted to kill my wife was a woman, was it?“
Jason nodded. “Ah, you finally recalled.“
Joshua took a deep breath and stood up. He looked at Jason condescendingly.
“Why are you telling me so much, aren't you afraid?" I'll get the cops to arrest you?“
After all, Jason was the one who created such an accident that forced Luna to change her looks. If accountability was taken, Jason would not fare well too.
Jason laughed.
“If the cops would arrest me, the person that did it, wouldn't they also arrest you, the mastermind behind this?“
He chuckled unrestrainedly, “Joshua, don't forget, we're in the same boat! “
Looking at how arrogant Jason was, Joshua could not help but smile.
He bent down and said in an extremely cold yet overwhelmingly authoritative tone, “Then, let's see shall we, whether you and I are on the same boat or not.“
Then, Joshua turned and left.
He needed to return to the office to check on the accounts from six years ago as well as investigate some stuff.
“Luna.“
Outside Bamboo Palace, Bonnie grabbed onto Luna's hand. “I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Joshua.“
Luna looked through the window. Joshua had just finished talking with Jason and was storming off angrily. She sneered. “What misunderstanding could there be?“
Joshua kept telling Luna that he did not know who Jason was and was not well acquainted with him.
However, when she left with Bonnie, when it was only Joshua and Jason left, Joshua started reprimanding Jason.
Luna could even guess the reason Joshua was reprimanding Jason.
It was only because Jason did not play his part well that made Luna see the signs.
Joshua was a pretentious man right from the beginning.
“But..." Bonnie sighed. She grabbed Luna's hand tightly. She wanted to calm her down. “Jason has told me before that he does not know Mr. Lynch well at all. Even if he might lie to me about other stuff, he did not need to lie to me about this. I have been with Jason for so long, but I have never seen him interact with Mr. Lynch. Have you misunderstood Mr. Lynch?"
