Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 721

Smells of blood?

Luna furrowed her brows and tried to sniff hard. The air truly had a thick scent of blood.

Luna was instantly alarmed!

Would Jason have....

Jude, next to Luna, also could not help but worry. Although Bonnie was just a distant relative, the Craig family had gone through such an ordeal previously. At that moment, Bonnie was the only heir left in the entire Craig family.

If Bonnie were to also die...

The Craig family line would have died.

At that moment, one of Jude's men bent down. He skillfully tossed a dash of powder on the ground.

Soon, the powder turned pink. “Reaction to blood.“

The man furrowed his brows, lifted his head, and looked at Jude. “Sir, don't worry, the person that we are looking for is still fine.“

He pointed at the powder that changed color on the ground.

“When I smelt blood just now, I thought that something was off. It did not smell like fresh blood, more like the blood that has been there for a long time. Pouring the powder on the ground, we did find signs of blood that had been washed away by water.“ He followed the trail of blood and looked at the door crack.

“It looks like it came from there. If it's not fresh blood, it would most likely be that someone has died here previously.“

Luna was stunned and subconsciously took a step back.

Upon hearing that Bonnie was probably not dead, Jude furrowed his brows. He directly got someone to listen to the movements in the room. In the end, they planned to break the door and intrude.

The few trained men in black directly crashed the door open and rushed in with the speed of lightning. They apprehended Jason who was sharpening his knife.

Once the door was kicked open, a strong scent of blood wafted to their noses.

Luna and Jude furrowed their brows at the same time.

The two of them turned back to cover their noses before turning around once again and looking into the room.

The room was in a miserable state, so much so that Luna could not help but gag.

On the sofa, Jason was being pinned by someone. He struggled.

Opposite the sofa on a chair, Bonnie was being tied up in the chair.

In between the sofa and chair...

Two dead bodies were neatly placed there. An adult and a child.

The adult's head was smashed by a heavy object. It was extremely bloody. The child's body was stabbed in the chest with a knife.

The entire floor was covered in fresh blood. It was from the two bodies. Most of the blood had already dried up.

Luna could vaguely tell that these two bodies were Jason's wife and child. The ones that Zach has shown her previously.

The scene was too tragic. Luna clutched her chest and gagged, leaning against the entrance.

Jude was not any better compared to Luna.

However, after all, he is still a man. He ordered his men to apprehend Jason and let Bonnie go while getting others to make a police report.

This involved human lives. This was not something a small influential figure like him could easily handle.

Jude tugged on Luna's sleeves and pulled her to the corridor.

Unfortunately, the corridor also smelled of blood. In the end, he helplessly dragged Luna to the staircase.

The two of them shared a bottle of water before slowly coming to their senses.

Jude sat on the staircase and smiled at Luna helplessly.

“This is the first time I've encountered such things. I find it hard to accept. It's a little embarrassing."

Luna sighed and sat down next to Jude. “Likewise." This was also her first time seeing such a scene.

The two of them rested for a long while. Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Jude.

“You said just now that this is your first time witnessing such a scene?"

Jude nodded.

“How could that be? " Luna chuckled lightly, “You are friends with Joshua, shouldn't this be common for you?"

Jude was silent for a moment.

After a while, he smiled. “Do you have a misunderstanding against Joshua, or against his friends?"

In all honesty, whether it was him or Joshua, they only reasonably played a few tricks while doing business. That was all.

None of them had ever done vicious things like murder!

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 722

Luna raised her brows. “Am I wrong?“

She held the bottle with both hands and looked at the white wall in front of her closely. Her gaze seemed to have penetrated through the walls into the distance.

“Jason is a murderer trained by Joshua, don't you know that?“

Jude looked at Luna confusedly, “How is that possible?“

He looked at Luna's face strangely. “You saw it too. When my men rushed forward, Jason could not even react in time. A person like him being a murderer? You overestimate him.

“The bodyguards by Joshua's side are all retired special forces. Any one of them could beat Jason up badly. Joshua training Jason to be a murderer? What are you dreaming about?“

Luna harrumphed coldly at Jude's words.

“Of course, what you said makes sense, but the truth is...“

Luna sneered, “Six years ago, Joshua hired him to knock me off the bridge.“

The memory of that day was still fresh on her mind.

Luna sighed, “Actually, I also don't understand why Joshua wanted me dead. Was it because I found out about his affair with Aura?“

The more Jude heard, the more confused he was. He turned to look at Luna.

“You said that on the day of your accident six years ago it was because you found out about Aura and Joshua's affair, that was why Joshua and Aura hired Jason to kill you?“

Luna nodded. “It's the truth.“

She could never forget this forever.

The Lord knew, when her life was hanging by the thread and she was instinctively grabbing onto the railing of the bridge, she heard Jason called Joshua.

When she heard Jason promised Joshua on the phone that he would make sure she died...

She was in extreme despair.

At that time, it was the time when she loved Joshua the most.

She happily got pregnant with his child. She wanted to expand their family and wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Everything that day was like an ax, chopping away the tree of her love and her future.

It completely split her world and Joshua's in half. “What truth?“

Jude looked at Luna, finding it rather humorous.

“Six years ago, the day of your accident. Joshua and I had always been in Sea City on business meetings. I remember early that morning, Aura, who was Joshua's secretary at that time, said that she was not feeling well. She went back to Banyan City ahead of us. Joshua and Aura were not in the same city that day, how did you spoil their affair?“

Luna was in a daze. She looked at Jude in disbelief. “I have proof! “

Looking at her doubtful eyes, Jude harrumphed coldly. He immediately opened his social media and found the video he took of Joshua and him having a meeting on the day Luna had the accident six years ago.

That time, the caption of his video was, (The Xth day of business meetings with Mr. Lynch. It's 1 p.m. now. This meeting has been going on for five hours already. I'm hungry.]

Playing the video, Joshua was still standing in the main seat, being in a heated discussion with the other party.

His face was filled with some tiredness and haggardness.

Looking at the video on Jude's social media, Luna was stunned for a long while.

Jude did not need to lie to her. Also, she did not believe Joshua, who wanted her dead back then, would get his good friend to post a video on social media to fake an alibi.

Luna was a little in a daze.

“S -So...you guys were really in Sea City the entire day on business meetings?“

“Of course! “ Jude rolled his eyes. “I still remember

clearly the day of your accident! We had spent six hours and finally came to a deal. When we were about to sign the deal, we heard of your accident.

Joshua immediately abandoned the deal and rushed back from Sea City, but we were still a step too late. We could not even find your body."

Luna bit her lips. However, that day...

She clearly heard Aura and Joshua going at it in the room.

Suddenly, her eyes widened. She suddenly recalled.

At that time, Aura always wanted to be a voice actor.

She had been learning all sorts of audio software. Aura even edited a clip of audio of something that she had never said to Luna, to get Luna to find any mistakes.

Luna could not find any at that time.

Thus...

Luna suddenly stood up and stormed off. “Where are you going?"

“To look for Jason. I need to make sure of something."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 723

When Luna returned to the house of Jason's wife, the police were already there.

Bonnie had been taken away by the ambulance. The police and the forensics were preserving and investigating the crime scene.

Jason was being hand-cuffed. He was about to be taken away.

Luna walked over. After communicating with the police, they gave her three minutes to talk to Jason.

“What? Did you come here to laugh at me?“

Jason sneered and looked at Luna. The handcuffs on his hands were shining a cold silvery gleam.

Luna took a deep breath. She raised her gaze and looked at him.

“Jason, things have gotten to this stage. I hope you can tell me the truth.“

Luna's voice was cold and aloof.

“Six years ago, when Joshua got you to crash into me, how did he tell you? Did he get you to directly kick me off the bridge or use the car and continue crashing into me? Do you remember what he said? “

Jason furrowed his brows. A hint of franticness flashed across his eyes.

After a while, he harrumphed, “I don't remember anymore. It has been so long ago, who could remember it?“

Luna narrowed her eyes.

“But that was the first time that you committed murder, you really don't remember? Then do you remember how Joshua negotiated the deal with you? Did he directly offer five hundred thousand for you to crash into me with your car or did you ask for it? Did you meet him face to face or was it through a phone call? Where did you guys meet?“

Jason furrowed his brows and looked at her.

At that moment, Luna was so calm it was terrifying.

He paused a little and swept an annoyed glance at Luna.

“A matter that involves so much money, of course, Mr. Lynch and I have met to talk about it! The morning of the accident, he looked for me and directly offered me five hundred thousand, asking me whether I would do it or not.“

Then, he harrumphed coldly.

“Why are you asking me all these? Do you not believe that Joshua would kill you? Sadly, that's the truth! The man you loved  the most  wants to kill you!“

Jason looked at Luna with extreme loathing in his eyes. “Look at you. How pathetic!“

Luna laughed.

“Your wife and child are even more pathetic, Jason.“

Jason's pupil constricted fiercely when Luna mentioned his wife and kid.

His eyes narrowed. “I'm different! I killed them because they were disobedient!“

Jason barked hysterically and started to struggle, “I did not intend to kill them! Just because they received a little reward from Joshua, they forced me to break up with Bonnie. They want me to go back home with them with hundreds of thousands of dollars to live abroad!

“They said that they could not adapt to this country, that life was inconvenient here. These are all excuses! They only said that because they were swayed by Joshua's money! “

Jason yelled. The cuffs on his hands were clanging.

“Joshua thought of persuading my wife and child to get me to give up on Bonnie and her billions of inheritance! I can't do it!“

The policeman behind him rushed over and pinned Jason to the ground. “Be still! “

Even if he was being pinned on the ground, Jason still kept yelling hysterically non-stop.

“I didn't mean to kill them! They forced my hand! No one could stop me from being a wealthy person! No one! Bonnie wanted to cancel the marriage. She wanted to hurt me together with you, she can dream on! I brought her here to show her what would happen to her if she doesn't listen to me! “

Jason was being hauled away by the policemen.

Luna remained in the same spot. She clenched her fists tightly by her side, then she relaxed them. She clenched once more and relaxed them again.

Her mind was in a mess.

If, according to Jude, on that day six years ago, Joshua was in Sea City having a meeting...

How could he possibly look for Jason early in the morning?

Also, things like murdering and looting, according  to how cautious Joshua was, he would not have directly met with Jason.

After all, this was no small matter.

Phone records could be erased, but meeting in person, there was surveillance and witnesses everywhere...

It was impossible to not leave evidence. Joshua would not be so stupid.

Also...

Luna shuddered at what Jason said after that.

 

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 724

Joshua managed to convince Jason's wife and child to get them to persuade Jason to give up?

Luna closed her eyes. She had mixed feelings.

Previously, Luna had also thought of this method.

To get Jason's wife and child to persuade Jason to give up, then bring Jason to justice. That would be the least harmful way for Bonnie.

However...

Upon thinking how troublesome executing this method was plus how she was not good at persuading others, Luna gave up this plan.

She never would have thought that Joshua secretly did it.

“Are you alright? “ Jude rushed over and looked at Luna worriedly. “I heard Jason's voice. He didn't hurt you, right?“

Luna subconsciously shook her head.

After a while, she turned around to look. Her voice was a little hoarse.

“You and Joshua have been good friends for many years. Then, can you tell me if Joshua and Aura...“

“They never had an affair! “

Jude furrowed his brows and raised his fingers to the skies. “I, Jude Smith, swear to God, I use my life as a guarantee that I 'm not lying to you! If Joshua and Aura truly had an affair, why did he not marry Aura for the past six years and only treated her as his fiancée? Clearly, he doesn't like Aura. He only got Aura to be his fiancée out of respect for you, to take care of her! “

Then, Jude sighed, “Luna, your misunderstanding for Joshua is really too deep. I never knew that you used to think of him that way. How could he have hired a murderer to kill you?

“Six years ago, on the day of your accident, Joshua had already told me that when we returned to Banyan City, he wanted to propose to you once again. To give you the wedding of the century, because he said that he has already fallen in love with you! “

Jude sighed. “He even got the engagement ring ready! Wait a moment! “

Jude liked to use social media, so many things, he could search from his social media feed.

He searched for a long time before finally finding a small video clip from six years ago.

In the video, Joshua was in the jewelry shop, seriously discussing with the salesperson.

“My wife's character is more gentle and sensible, which design would suit her? Her fingers are slender. Would this design suit her more?“

Joshua's words were followed by Jude's wild laughter.

“Who would have thought our cold, arrogant, Mr. Joshua Lynch would have helpless moments!

Hahahaha! “

The video clip had finished playing.

Luna was thunderstruck. She remained in the same spot.

All those years of memories that had to do with Joshua started replaying in her mind.

He...did not want to kill her.

He also did not have an affair with Aura.

He even wanted to propose to her once again, to give her the wedding of the century...

Luna thought back about her hatred toward him all this while, ignoring his explanations...

She bit her lips hard, turned to look at Jude. Her voice was trembling. “Where is he now?“

“He should be at the Orchard Manor right now?“

Once Jude said that, Luna left like the wind. He wanted to reach out to grab Luna but he caught onto nothing.

“Sigh...“

Looking at Luna running away, Jude furrowed his brows. He hesitantly placed his hands down.

“To Orchard Manor, quickly! “

Once she got in the taxi, Luna recalled all those words that Jude told her, also all her memories with Joshua throughout the years.

She believed Jude's words, but she also did not believe them.

She would only believe all this if Joshua said them himself!

Throughout the journey, Luna's heart was beating wildly. She felt all the blood in her body raging and churning!

They reached Orchard Manor in a short while.

Luna threw a hundred dollar cash at the driver and rushed into Orchard Manor.

The gates of the manor were shut tight, with a carved fence around the manor.

A car entered the manor through a private entrance. It was Joshua's car.

The car door opened and a tall man elegantly got out of the car. Luna wanted to shout for him, but she saw him going around the car to the backseat of the car and opened the door.

A woman in a white dress came out of the car.

Then, Joshua reached his arms out and carried the woman up directly, and strode into the manor.

Luna stood outside, looking at Joshua carrying the woman into the house. Her fervor for wanting to see him was instantly doused.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 725

The initially clear sky was instantly gloomy with dark clouds.

Light rain fell. A cold breeze blew by. Luna remained in the same spot. She fumbled and almost lost her balance.

She grabbed onto the carved railings to prevent herself from falling.

At that moment, the woman who was being carried by Joshua turned back to look.

When Luna noticed the woman's face, she only felt that something exploded in her mind.

Luna has seen this woman before.

It was at the mall the day before. When Jason and Bonnie were picking out rings, she was casually shopping when she stumbled upon that woman.

At that moment, the woman was wearing the long linen dress she wore the day before. Her hair was long and all over. She was buried in Joshua's arm pitifully.

Luna's mind went blank. She felt as if something was ripped from her heart.

She clearly remembered what the woman said in the mall the day before.

“Do you think Joshua would like this sort of pure white long skirt? Today is the first time I'm meeting him. I want to leave a good impression.“

At that thought, Luna also recalled the middle -aged woman that was talking to the woman in the mall the day before, she called her Ms. Blake.

Luna felt her mind in a mess.

That morning in Blue Bay Villa, she saw the caller ID on Joshua's phone. Only one word was written on it, [Blake].

Thinking back about how Joshua did not even want to dress his wounds upon receiving that woman's call and leaving immediately, Luna felt as if a knife stabbed her heart.

She gripped onto the railings of the fence tightly. Her excitement from Jude's explanation has instantly vanished.

As expected...

She was still wrong about Joshua.

Perhaps, he did not love her as much as Jude said.

Perhaps, he was already disappointed in her aloofness...

No matter what...

Luna smiled bitterly and turned around, walking in the huge downpour.

Fiona Blake, who was in Joshua's arms, noticed Luna in the distance.

She squinted her eyes a little. Who was that woman? “What are you looking at?“

While in a daze, Joshua has already carried her in and placed her on the sofa.

“I saw a woman, a gorgeous woman,“ Fiona said. Her voice was extremely gentle.

“It's raining and she did not have an umbrella with her. She'll get a cold, right?“

Joshua smiled. “This place is in the middle of nowhere, how would there be a gorgeous woman?“

He gently poured her tea. “Drink up while it's hot.“ “Thank you.“

Fiona pursed her lips. She held onto the teacup while

saying, “When will the results of the compatibility of the bone marrow be available?“

Joshua's hands which were holding onto the teacup paused a little.

“We'll know about it tomorrow.“ He gently took a sip.

“If no other problems arise, the compatibility should be a success.“

Joshua has used up a huge amount of human resources to cure Nigel's sickness. He screened worldwide to find a compatible bone marrow for Nigel.

Fiona had an operation many years ago, she retrieved some bone marrow cells. Turns out, it was the only match with Nigel.

Therefore, that day, Joshua deliberately took her to the hospital to retrieve more bone marrow cells to determine if it was indeed possible to go ahead with the transplantation.

If it was possible... There is hope for Nigel!

“I do hope that it is compatible, to give your son a new lease on life.”

Fiona lowered her head and laughed demurely. “If my short life could help your son get through the hard times, it would have been worth it."

Joshua paused for a while. He placed the teacup down. “I will try to find a way to cure your sickness too."

Fiona shook her head. “It's pointless. The doctors also said that there was no need to cure a sickness like mine. Other than wasting money, there was no hope left of me getting better..."

She sniffled her nose.

“Mr. Lynch, I don't hope for you to cure my sickness. I only hope that I have a man to accompany me for the remainder of my life. To give me the romance I want."

 

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 726

Then, Fiona gently took a sip. Her face blushed even more among the steam.

“I...never would have thought that you would agree to such a demanding request of mine.“

Luna paused for a while before looking at her deeply.

“I can give you romance and everything that you want. Everything that couples should have, I could give it to you, but Ms. Blake, I hope that you are clear on this.“

Joshua's voice turned low and cold.

“I already have a love of mine. I have three kids with her. I cannot abandon her. Everything that I give you will be fake, can you accept that?“

Fiona's face involuntarily turned pale upon Joshua's words.

After a while, she smiled bitterly. “Mr. Lynch, why do you have to be such a killjoy? Since I have flown all the way from Sharnwick City to Banyan City to look for you to cure your son's sickness, that proves that I don't care about all this...“

Then, Fiona sighed, “Am I troubling you?“ Joshua furrowed his brows a little. “No.“ “Then, that's great.“

Luna pursed her lips and gently placed the teacup down. She calmly swept a glance at her surroundings.

“Am I staying in the bedroom on the second floor? “ Joshua nodded. “Hmm.“

“Then I...“ Fiona smiled. “I'll head up to rest.“

Then, she stood up and was about to head upstairs.

She did not know whether she stood up too quickly or it was some other reason. Fiona fumbled and almost fell.

Joshua reacted quickly and held onto her. “Be more gentle.“

“I don't have much strength already.“ Fiona chuckled with a pale face. “My body has been deteriorating. Mr. Lynch, could you...carry me upstairs?“

Joshua did not say anything. He immediately picked Fiona up and strode upstairs.

Being in his arms, Fiona subconsciously reached out and grabbed Joshua's collar.

She wanted to wrap her arms around his neck, but this was only the second day that she knew him. It was a little inappropriate.

Luna lowered her head and felt Joshua's warmness and beating heart.

“Take it slowly, don't rush. Rest well.“

Joshua placed Fiona on the large bed and tucked her in. He gently shut the door, turned, and went downstairs.

The moment he came out of the room, his phone rang.

It was from Jude.

Joshua furrowed his brows and picked the call up.

“What's up?“

“Joshua.“ Jude, on the other end of the line, was silent for a while. Has Fiona moved into your home?“

Joshua furrowed his brows. “Hmm.“

Fiona was from Sharnwick City. It was at least 2000 kilometers from Banyan City.

She knew no one over here plus she did not like to stay in hotels. When they were discussing accommodation, all she expressed was her desire to stay with him, so that someone could look after her.

Fiona was handpicked from the thousands of people to have a bone marrow transplant for Nigel.

He had to try to fulfill all her requests.

Therefore, this morning, he arranged for Fiona's luggage to be packed, to get her to stay in Orchard Manor.

“What is it?“

“Luna went to Orchard Manor to look for you.“ Jude sighed, His voice was a little bit in despair.

“Technically, she should have reached there by now. You have to be careful, don't let them meet! “

Joshua's hand which was holding onto the phone trembled a little.

“They have to meet sooner or later.“

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 727

Jude gasped on the other end of the line upon Joshua's words.

“Are you not planning to make up with Luna?“

Joshua walked to the entrance of the manor. He looked at the wet greenery outside being drenched under the rain.

His heart was filled with desolation.

“Do you think it's possible? Back then, she was tricked by Aura and met with an accident, yet I treated Aura like a sister for six years.

“She bore through the pain and gave birth to three of my kids. She returned and gave me a fourth one, yet I killed two of her children.“

Jude was instantly rendered speechless upon Joshua's words.

It was true.

Although Neil and the miscarriage Luna had was not Joshua's intention to harm them, but their death still had to do with him.

He was the one that caused the destruction of both children. How could Luna forgive him?

“So...what are you planning to do?“

Jude's voice turned low. This was the second time in his life he felt sorry for his friend.

Ever since Jude knew Joshua, Joshua had been arrogant and collected, aloof yet mature. He was like no one else. To say that Joshua was the most amazing man Jude has ever met was true.

However, such a man like Joshua... Jude felt sorry for him at that moment.

The other moment when he felt sorry for Jude was six years ago after Luna's accident. Joshua locked himself up and drank himself to death.

“I haven't thought about it yet.“

Joshua looked at the heavy rain in the skies. He sighed heavily.

“My only current thought is to cure Nigel's sickness no matter what.“

He had already caused Luna to lose two children. He could not let her lose another third child.

He might not be able to mend the past, but he could try his best for the future.

Jude sighed.

Initially, he wanted to tell Joshua that he had already explained to Luna clearly about the misunderstanding back then.

However, at that moment, hearing what Joshua said, he no longer felt the need to do that.

Even if Luna knew that back then was just a misunderstanding, so what?

Joshua still had to be together with Fiona.

“The rain is quite heavy,“ Joshua was silent for a while before he said, “when she left, did she bring an umbrella?“

Jude, on the other end of the line, furrowed his brows in confusion. “It's raining?“

He held the phone and rushed to the window. It was truly raining.

Jude was brought to the police station to make a statement. He had been sitting in the office all this while, he did not know about the changes in the weather outside.

“She did not take an umbrella with her, “ Jude said decisively, “she should have reached you by now.

“ ..Will she catch a cold in the rain?“ Joshua paused fiercely upon Jude's words.

Fiona's words when they just entered a moment ago rang in his ears.

“I saw a woman, a gorgeous woman.“

“It's raining and she did not have an umbrella with her. She'll get a cold, right?“

Something went off in his mind.

Luna...should not have been there already, right?

At that thought, Joshua immediately hung up. He grabbed an umbrella and rushed out into the pouring rain.

The rain got heavier. Gloomy clouds hung over in the skies.

Luna was walking alone under the heavy rain. Her current mood was just like the gloomy skies and heavy rain.

She came over from Jude a moment ago, she felt that it was all her misunderstanding toward Joshua.

However, the moment she reached Orchard Manor, what she saw was Joshua carrying another woman in his arms.

In the end, she was one step too late. This man had already given up on her...

Perhaps Jude was lying to her?

Countless questions overwhelmed Luna so much that she felt suffocating.

Her steps got heavier and slower.

The rain kept hitting on her body. Luna was so cold she started to shiver.

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 728

However, Luna could no longer care.

Her mind was only filled with Joshua. Joshua. Joshua...

She realized that she no longer understood him. She could not understand him at all.

She was extremely disappointed, so much so that she did not even hear the frantic footsteps behind her.

It was until when the raindrops no longer hit on her body that she looked up in a daze.

What she saw was a black umbrella and Joshua in black.

Luna hugged her shoulders. She was shivering. Was this an illusion?

Was Joshua not being together with Ms. Blake? Why was he here looking at her?

Looking at Luna turning around looking at him, a piece of Joshua's heart was instantly ripped apart.

At that moment, Luna's gaze was pitiful and innocent. She looked like a small creature who ran away from home in the rain, lost and pitiful.

However...

He still hardened his heart. He said aloofly, “It's raining. What are you doing here in the rain? Are you planning to get Nigel and Nellie to take care of you?“

Joshua's words had no warmth in them.

Luna bit her lips. She subconsciously reached out, wanting to touch his face to make sure that he was real and she was not hallucinating.

However, the moment she reached her hands out, Joshua dodged.

He furrowed his brows. “I'll send you home.“

Then, Joshua stretched his hands out and picked the drenched woman up.

The temperature of Joshua's chest and palms burned Luna's cold body.

She shuddered and nestled herself in his arms. This was not a dream.

Joshua carried her to the side of the car. It was until h e opened the car door and placed her in the car, then only did Luna mutter her first sentence at Joshua, her tone trembling, “H-Have...you ever liked me?“

Joshua's hand which was about to close the door paused a little.

After a moment, he swept her a cold glance. He did not answer her question and directly shut the car door.

He did not give her an answer. However, his eyes said everything.

Luna sat in the backseat. She clenched her fists tightly.

She suddenly felt that her problem was that she was making a fool out of herself.

The fact that Joshua did not like her was a cold hard fact long ago. Why upon hearing the things that Jude told her that day, she would naively think that Joshua really liked her?

She was foolish and naive. Soon, the car started moving.

Joshua sent her back to Blue Bay Villa without saying a single word.

At the entrance of the villa, Lily was looking around.

That morning when Lily left, she did not bring an umbrella with her. She was afraid that she would get drenched in the rain.

Seeing Joshua sending Luna back, Lily immediately went forth to welcome them. She held onto Luna.

“Ms. Luna, how did you become so wet?“ Luna did not reply.

“Take good care of her.“

Passing Luna to Lily, Joshua inconspicuously let out a sigh of relief, turned, and left.

However, before he could leave, Luna reached out and grabbed onto Joshua's wrist.

Her hands were still wet.

“Joshua.“

Joshua paused a little before turning around to look at her.

“Is there anything else?“

His gaze was cold without any emotions. Luna's heart instantly sank.

She bit her lips and almost lost her words.

After a while, Luna took a deep breath. She mustered the courage and said, “You previously told me that you moved to the Orchard Manor from Blue Bay Villa so that you won't disturb me and the kids.

“Is your move there for the sake of me and the kids, or for you to have a mistress in the manor that I designed?"

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 729

Joshua trembled a little. As expected.

Luna's disoriented look was because she witnessed him being with Fiona.

However...

Joshua did not plan to explain himself.

He was clear that it was impossible for him to be with Luna anymore, with the death of two children in between them.

Also, for Nigel's bone marrow transplant, he had to keep his promise to be with Fiona until she passed away.

Thus, why did he need to explain himself?

He turned to look at Luna. He sneered extremely aloofly. “Is there a difference? On one side, I give up Blue Bay Villa for you and the kids, while I'm at Orchard Manor with my new love. Isn't this the best of both worlds?“

The rain was extremely heavy. It was like Luna's terrible mood.

A fit of rage overwhelmed Luna upon Joshua's words. She gritted her teeth and glared at Joshua. Her voice was harsh and cold.

“Joshua, do you know that two of your kids need to be taken care of? Two of your other children have just passed away. The remaining two, one has an incurable terminal illness, the other is mentally ill! How dare you have the mood to find a new lover at this moment?“

As the father of Nigel and Nellie, on the surface, he said that he wanted her to take good care of the kids. In actual fact, it was so he could relax and be happy!

He only met Ms. Blake the day before for the first time, yet they had already started hugging and being touchy with each other!

Was he that impatient? Joshua smiled a little.

He tucked one hand in his pocket and slowly walked toward Luna. He lifted her chin with her other hand, his voice was cold and aloof. “Why are you angry? Are you jealous?“

His tone was flirtatious. “Luna, don't tell me that you still like me?“

Joshua's words made whatever Luna wanted to say get stuck in her throat.

She bit her lips hard and looked at Joshua. “Even if I was jealous, I would never be jealous of you! “

Her eyes were filled with hatred. “The thing I regretted most in my entire life was that I once liked you! “

Upon saying that, Luna haggardly turned around. She fumbled back into the villa with a shivering body.

Lily bit her lips and looked at Joshua before catching up with Luna.

Joshua remained in the same spot looking at Luna leaving. He smiled bitterly.

When he returned to the car, he leaned back tiredly on the driver's seat.

The heavy rain outside continued.

Joshua shut his eyes. The only thing appearing on his mind was how much hatred there was in Luna's eyes when she looked at him a moment ago.

“The thing I regretted most in my entire life was that I once liked you! “

The thing she regretted most was liking him... Joshua laughed bitterly.

Those words should be coming from her heart, right? This was what she truly thought of him.

At that moment, Joshua's phone rang. It was from Fiona.

“Joshua...“

Fiona's voice was trembling a little. “Where have you been? The rain is so heavy, the thunder is loud too. I'm so afraid. I went downstairs to look for you, but you're not home. The entire manor is so empty, I'm all alone.

“Are you...still not willing to fulfill my request of becoming my boyfriend? If that's the case, I 'll book a flight ticket and leave Banyan City now...“

Fiona's voice was gentle and frail, which made the already annoyed Joshua even more annoyed.

Joshua furrowed his brows, he patiently said in a suppressed tone, as to not let Fiona hear the emotions in his voice.

“Don't get carried away with your imagination, I won't renege against the things I've said. Something came up in the office, I went over to handle it. I'm coming back now to look for you. Wait for me at home."

Upon receiving Joshua's promise, Fiona's tone softened. “Hmm...I got it. I'll wait for you obediently on the sofa."

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 730

Joshua hung up. He looked at the Blue Bay Villa behind them meaningfully before starting the car and leaving.

In the bedroom on the second floor in Blue Bay Villa.

Luna, who has changed into dry pajamas, was standing by the window, looking at Joshua driving away.

If she was not wrong, the direction in which Joshua was driving was toward Orchard Manor.

Luna slowly closed her eyes.

What Jude said to her that day rang in her ear once again. She was filled with excitement and delight, thinking that she had misunderstood Joshua, she was being misled by Aura.

However, at that moment...

She did not misunderstand nor was she misled. It was not important anymore.

Joshua Lynch was not worthy of her. “Mommy.“

At that moment, the bedroom door was being pushed open.

Nigel carried a bowl of hot soup and entered. He carefully placed the soup on the table.

“Drink up while it's hot. You can't get sick.“ Luna turned around and looked at the little child standing there. Her heart was filled with indescribable emotions.

She walked over and hugged Nigel tightly in her arms.

“I know. I won't get sick.“ After all...

Nigel and Nellie only had her left.

However, even if Luna drank the soup, she still caught a cold.

She was at home for three days.

Three days later, she received a call from Shannon. “Director Luna, your leave should be over, right?

When are you coming back to work?“

Luna paused for a while. She sneered, “Going back to work?“

To work for Joshua? Was he worthy of her?

Previously, she worked in the Lynch Group to get closer to Joshua, to get pregnant with his child.

However, at that moment...

“Yes. “ Perhaps Shannon could hear the mockery in Luna's tone, she pursed her lips and said, “I heard...I heard that your son had a terminal illness? You should be pretty short on cash, right? Are you not planning to come back to work?“

Luna gripped her phone tightly at Shannon's words.

Short on cash.

Upon thinking how the number in her bank account had been going down for the past two years trying to cure Nigel, Luna hesitated.

“I'll think about it.“ Then, Luna directly hung up the call, Although Joshua paid her a handsome amount, but... She was still not willing to work under the Lynch Group.

Luna took a deep breath and switched on her computer. She started browsing for jewelry designer jobs in Banyan City.

When she applied for the third job, there was a knock on her door.

It was the private doctor that Joshua had arranged to stay in Blue Bay Villa specifically to help Nigel recuperate.

Upon seeing the doctor knocking on her door, Luna could not help but furrow her brows. She immediately got up. “What happened to Nigel?“

Looking at how nervous Luna was, the doctor smiled and waved his hands. “Nigel is fine. I came here to tell you a piece of good news.“

“Good news?“

“Yes.“

The doctor looked at Luna rather excitedly. “Just now, the hospital called. They finally found a bone marrow compatible with Nigel's! It was a donor from abroad. The donor's health is not too great, but they are willing to let the doctors here take care of them. If everything goes well, Nigel could have a bone marrow transplant in less than half a month!”
