Ch. 811..820
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 811
There were thousands upon thousands of roses in her office.
Huge bouquets of roses had filled up every inch of her office.
Each of the roses was beautiful, they were even glistening with water droplets on it.
It looked like they were sent over this morning.
However, Banyan City was not a city that produced roses abundantly.
That many roses...
It looked like the entire city's supply of roses was bought?
Luna looked at the flaming red scene in front of her in shock. She was suddenly speechless.
When she was young, she did indeed hope that the person that she loved would give her fresh red roses.
However, at that moment, she was no longer the gullible damsel that could be easily coaxed.
Who in the world would send her so many roses?
Luna furrowed her brows. She went out and looked for Shannon.
“What is going on?“
Shannon pursed her lips. She opened her mouth and said awkwardly, “I don't know either. When I came here this morning, there were already a few car-
loads of roses waiting. When I found out that the roses were all for you, I spent a huge effort sending the cars away. If not, not only your office. The entire design department won't be able to fit all the roses.“
Then, Shannon sighed.
“The leader of the group of cars said that a gentleman placed the order last night. He bought all the roses of Banyan City and a few neighboring
cities. He said to give them all to you.“
Luna was silent.
To be able to send a lady such a huge amount of roses Luna could only think of one person at that moment.
Luna took a deep breath and got Shannon to take the roses down. After giving every female staff of the company a few stalks of roses, Luna took her phone and walked out of the office.
“Did you send the roses?“
She took a deep breath and called Christian. She did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Other than him, she could not think who else would be so childish to use such a tactic to please a lady.
Christian expressed his liking to her the day before. He even rescued her.
Christian was also a 19 -year-old brat. It was extremely normal for him to do such a thing.
Christian, on the other end of the line, had not woken up yet.
He yawned and got up from his bed while scratching his head.
“What roses? What are you talking about?“
After leaving Blue Bay Villa the night before, he had been thinking about what Luna said throughout the entire journey back.
He thought that since Luna was sincerely helping him, he had to pay her back with equal sincerity to be worthy of her kindness.
That was why Christian spent the entire night editing the proposal of his jewelry company back and forth. He only slept by four or five in the morning.
He did not know what roses Luna was referring to.
Upon hearing Christian's groggy voice, Luna furrowed her brows.
It was not him.
After hanging up her phone, she sat in her office looking at Shannon and Zayne taking the roses away. She slumped into confusion and bewilderment.
If it was not Christian, who was it then?
Luna was stumped. In the end, she picked her phone up and called Nigel.
“Can you check for me?“
Nigel, on the other end of the call, nodded seriously. “The group of cars were long and came majestically. I t would be easy to trace where the order came from.“
Nigel was sitting on the sofa with the laptop on his lap. He was talking to Luna while his fingers were flying away on the keyboard.
“I...got the order. The person who ordered the flowers did not leave a name, but it's fine. I can trace the phone number of the person who called the florist last night. From there, I could identify him. Mommy, don't be anxious. I might need some time. I Nigel was talking while he quickly searched through the florist's phone records.
The last number that called them was...
The moment Nigel saw the phone number, his eyes instantly widened.
Joshua Lynch?
How could it be him?
He made his Mommy cry on the balcony last night. Why did he send her a few car-loads of flowers the next day?
What in the world was he doing? Was it compensation?
“Nigel, did you find it?"
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 812
Seeing how Nigel had not responded for a long time, Luna furrowed her brows and gently asked, “Is it someone I know?“
Nigel suddenly did not know how to tell Luna the truth.
He bit his lips and was silent for a while. In the end, he took a deep breath.
“Mommy. This person's information is hidden too deeply. I have not reached that level. I couldn't get anything out of it.“
Luna paused for a while, gripping her phone. Even Nigel could not find out? Who would it be?
Perhaps he could feel Luna's shock, Nigel bit his lips. He knew that he would not be able to convince Luna with just a few simple sentences.
Thus, he sighed and pretended to say guiltily, “ Mommy, am I useless? I...I thought that I would be able to find out, but perhaps my level is not there yet. I can't help you, Mommy. I 'm really useless...“
Hearing how dejected Nigel sounded, Luna's eyes widened.
“Nigel, how could you think that way? You're only six. You're already amazing. Don't worry. Once you get better, we'll slowly improve. Rest well, I won't disturb you anymore.“
Luna was afraid that if she said anymore, she would make her son feel even more inferior, so she quickly hung up.
Nigel let out a long sigh of relief when he heard the disconnecting tone.
He knew that this was a good tactic.
Nigel narrowed his gaze and changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa. He looked at the series of familiar numbers on his computer screen.
What the hell was Joshua going for?
After looking at the screen for a long time, Nigel could not help but take his phone out.
He took a deep breath and dialed Joshua.
When he heard the beeping tone of the call, Nigel's heart was about to seize up.
Although he has contacted Joshua before...
However, ever since he moved into Blue Bay Villa and ever since his Mommy said that Joshua would not pay for his and Nellie's medical bills, Nigel felt that Joshua was extremely distant and far away from him, so far that he was untouchable.
Nigel even started to be afraid that once Joshua picked up the call and heard his voice, he would think that he was getting him to pay his medical bills and immediately hang up.
Just when Nigel was anxiously waiting, the call was picked up.
“Hello, Mr. Lynch. I'm Nigel Gibson. I...“ “Nigel?“
Before Nigel could finish his sentence, a strange man's voice interrupted him.
“Why would you call Joshua's number?“ Nigel's eyes widened.
This voice and the tone... It did not belong to Joshua!
He was instantly alarmed. Technically speaking, a businessman like Joshua would not simply pass his phone to anyone else. That was because his phone had too much confidential information.
Nigel bit his lips. His voice was filled with caution.
“Who are you? Why do you have Joshua's phone? “
The man on the other end of the line did not know whether to laugh or cry at Nigel's serious and guarded reaction.
“Nigel, I'm not a bad person. I 'm a good friend of your dad. Jude Smith. We have met before.“
Nigel furrowed his brows and thought for a while. His suspended heart finally dropped.
“You're the pretty handsome but stupid-looking uncle?“
Jude was speechless.
Handsome but stupid-looking? What kind of description was that? “Where is Joshua?“
“He...“ Jude looked at Joshua on the bed, whose face was much paler than the color of the wall.
He could not help but sigh.
”He is...not doing well right now.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 813
“What do you mean by not well?“
Nigel held the phone, furrowed his brows, and asked.
Jude sighed and looked at Joshua on the bed once more. He turned around and headed outside to the corridors.
“We're at the hospital right now. There was a... socializing event last night. Joshua was drinking with me. His stomach problems acted up and he is currently still unconscious.“
Upon hearing what Jude said, Nigel subconsciously widened his eyes.
Did Joshua not come over to look for Luna the night before? He remembered when his Mommy came back with reddened eyes, it was already 1o:30 p.m.
It was impossible for Joshua to have a socializing event at that tie.
However, what Jude said did not seem all fake. Therefore, Nigel boldly deduced that Joshua went drinking with Jude after leaving Blue Bay Villa the night before.
He even drank until his stomach problems acted up.
Joshua always knew his limits. If it was really just socializing, he would not have drunk until that way.
Therefore...
Nigel speculated while bending his fingers that Joshua and his Mommy must have had a conflict the night before.
Also, both of them were very upset after the argument.
Although Luna cried when she returned home, after he clumsily tried to cheer her up, Luna returned to her bedroom and went to bed.
She even radiantly went to work that morning. Joshua, on the other hand...
After leaving Blue Bay Villa that night, he must have gone drinking.
He must have drunk so much that he lost his mind.
Upon that thought, Nigel suddenly remembered his reason for calling Joshua.
“Then, Uncle Jude, after Joshua got drunk last night, did he do anything shocking? For example, buying the entire few cities worth of roses to give to my Mommy or something like that...“
Jude, on the other end of the call, instantly tensed up. “What do you mean?“
Nigel did not feel like he needed to hide from Jude.
“It's like this. This morning, my Mommy received a few car-loads worth of roses. I searched online, and someone bought all of the roses from a few neighboring cities to give them to her. The person was Mr. Joshua Lynch, who did that at three in the morning last night.“
Jude was silent.
He furrowed his brows and thought back about the night before.
Joshua was in the bar with him from eleven to four in the morning.
Around three, Joshua could not help but head to the washroom. When he came back, he was so drunk he lost his mind, yet he smiled mysteriously at Jude.
“I have found a way to make her happy. I will make her happy.“
At that time, Jude did not take his word seriously. He only thought that Joshua was drunk and talking nonsense.
He did not expect...
When Jude said nothing, Nigel had already guessed what happened the night before.
He sighed and said, “As expected. He would only treat my Mommy well when he is drunk.“
Jude paused for a while.
“Nigel, this is not the truth. All of you have misunderstood your Daddy. He actually has always been...“
“Uncle Jude.“
Nigel did not want to let Jude brainwash him. “How is Mr. Lynch now?“
“Not well.“
Jude sighed, “He vomited blood at four in the morning, so I took him to the hospital. After a few hours of resuscitation he is no longer in danger, but still unconscious."
Then, Jude pursed his lips.
“Nigel. Since your Mommy has already received all those roses? She should be feeling better now, right?"
Nigel pursed his lips.
“What are you trying to say?"
“Can you convince your Mommy to come to visit him at the hospital?"
Jude turned around and looked at Joshua, whose face was pale and eyes remained shut, through the door slit.
He said in a low voice, “The doctor said that he would surely wake up, but when he wakes up depends on the external stimulus he receives."
Nigel, on the other end of the call, pursed his lips. “He has his darling Ms. Blake."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 814
“Furthermore, what does it have to do with me when he wakes up?“
Jude spoke with emotion and reason, “Your Daddy is the president of the Lynch Group! As long as he is unconscious, the Lynch Group will be missing its leader. It will be a huge loss! “
Nigel said, “What does the Lynch Group's loss have to do with me?“
Jude was speechless. Nigel's stubborn ways were very similar to Luna's.
He furrowed his brows. He could only use his final move.
“You'll be undergoing your operation in less than a week. He has not even transferred the money to your Mommy. If he continues being unconscious, not
only will the Lynch Group be affected. Your sickness too! “
Nigel was silent for a while upon Jude's words.
He was actually not worried for Joshua. He only thought about how Joshua upset his Mommy while also being ambiguous with another woman. It did not sit well with Nigel.
However, Jude was right too. His treatment cannot be delayed.
Luna has already lost Neil, she could not lose him too.
Therefore, Nigel took a deep breath.
“Okay, then. I will find time to convince my Mommy.“
Then, Nigel immediately hung up.
Hearing the disconnecting tone, Jude sighed heavily. Actually, Joshua was in a much worse condition than he described.
Six years ago, when Joshua thought that Luna died, he drank to his death.
In a mere short month, Joshua has lost a lot of weight. His health was declining.
No matter what ways he or Joshua's family used, no one could help a man who is constantly on the verge of collapse.
Later on, Joshua had become very ill. He was on the brink of death many times. In the end, Aura kept muttering Luna Gibson's name, then only Joshua gained consciousness once more.
At that moment, Joshua's old illness relapsed, exactly like back then.
The doctor said that the previous method might not be useful for Joshua at that moment.
Jude could only put his hopes on Nigel, hoping that Nigel would be able to convince Luna to come over.
After clearing up the roses in her office, Luna did not spend too much time fussing about who sent her the roses.
She simply tidied up her office desk and started a new day of work.
What made her surprised was Fiona, who was the intern, was extremely quiet the entire day, other than the conflict she had with Luna that morning, when Luna was lecturing her staff.
Fiona was so quiet it frightened Luna.
After work, Luna was organizing her documents while looking at Fiona, who was outside her office working seriously.
Something was not right.
If Fiona did not look for Joshua that morning, that was because it was still early and Joshua was not in his office yet, so Fiona could not complain to Joshua.
That was because she knew that even if she called Joshua, he would not come over directly.
However, what about at that moment?
Fiona has been so quiet for the entire day. Did Joshua not come to work for the entire day as well?
It was impossible.
Joshua was a famous workaholic. Whether it was six years before or six years later. In his heart, work will also be more important than his personal life.
How could he not come to work?
At that moment, Charmaine, who kept hoping that Fiona would look after her, smiled at Fiona attentively.
“Fiona, after work are you going back home directly or will you be heading to the president's office and wait for Mr. Lynch?“
Fiona smiled gently at Charmaine. “I'll be going back myself. Joshua did not come to work today.“
“Then, would you want to go shopping with me, Ms. Blake?“
Charmaine smiled and continued fawning over Fiona.
“Ms. Blake, you're amazing. Mr. Lynch has never taken a leave of absence for so many years. Once he was with you, he even knew how to take a rest. It must be all thanks to you! “
Fiona pursed her lips. She said gently, “He is not resting. He's ill.“
Then, Fiona looked toward Luna's office meaningfully.
Her gaze coincidentally met with Luna's.
They looked at each other. Fiona sneered and retracted her gaze.
“I won't tag along to the mall. I have to go take care of Joshua.“
Then, Fiona carried her bag, turned, and left. Looking at her leaving, Luna sneered.
Joshua was sick? He deserved it.
At that moment, Luna's phone rang.
“Mommy.“ Nigel, on the other end of the line, took a deep breath. “I heard that Mr. Lynch has been admitted to the hospital. I want to visit him, can I?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 815
Luna furrowed her brows confusedly.
“How do you know that Joshua is in the hospital? “
If Fiona did not mention it a moment ago, no one in the company would know about the fact that Joshua is in the hospital.
Why would Nigel, who was at home recuperating, know about Joshua being admitted to the hospital?
“I was the one that told him.“
The moment Luna asked Nigel and before Nigel
could answer, a young man's voice rang in her ears.
Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously turned to look.
At that moment, Christian was in a flaming red suit. He elegantly crossed his arms leaning by the door. He was smiling and looking at Luna.
“Uncle Christian told me.“
Nigel's crisp voice rang. “He said that since we are all his family, we should pay him a visit. Uncle Christian also said that he is willing to fetch us there.“
Looking at Christian entering, Luna could not help but ask, “Since when the two of you became so close?“
She was asking Nigel as well as Christian.
She remembered during dinner the night before, Nigel and Christian were not a compatible duo.
Facing Luna's questions, Christian could not help but smile.
“The friendship between men comes quickly. Furthermore, Nigel and I are cousins. We would be close to each other.“
Then, Christian walked over to Luna and took her phone over. He smiled and said, “Don't worry, leave it to me. I'll handle your Mommy.“
Upon receiving Christian's affirmation, Nigel let out a deep sigh and nodded. “Thank you, cousin.“
Then, Nigel obediently hung up.
Hearing the conversation between Christian and Nigel, Luna looked at Christian in shock.
“This is the first time I see Nigel getting along so quickly with a stranger.“
Christian laughed a little, “That's because I'm charming.“
Actually, Christian did not know anything about Joshua's sickness.
Nigel was the one that contacted him. He has long guessed that Luna would be suspicious as to why he would know Joshua was sick, so he contacted Christian earlier to place it all on Christian.
“I know that you're not the one donating your bone marrow to me, but since my Mommy thinks that it's you, I won't expose you either.“
When Christian received Nigel's call that afternoon, Christian could not help but shudder.
Although Christian was only six, his intelligence and calmness could be compared to Joshua's!
Nigel slowly analyzed why Christian was not the donor, then he calmly suggested Christian help out with getting Luna to visit Joshua.
Christian was so stunned by what Nigel said he did not dare to open his mouth to say anything. He was afraid he might say something wrong. In the end, Christian agreed to everything and obeyed Nigel's arrangement.
That was why Christian would appear there at that moment.
“So, Christian.“ Luna took a deep breath and looked at Christian seriously. “You hope that I will bring my kids and follow you to the hospital to visit Joshua?“
Only then did Christian come to his senses. He nodded seriously.
“Hmm. Joshua is my uncle. I also hope that he can invest in my new company.“
“Now that he is ill and unconscious, his investment is getting further away from me too. I want to bring you and the kids over to pay him a visit, to let him feel my sincerity...“
“Joshua is unconscious?“
Before Christian could finish his sentence, Luna interrupted him.
“How is that possible?“
Joshua was still fine the night before. He could even drive over to Blue Bay Villa in the middle of the night to find fault with her.
Why was he unconscious at that moment?
Seeing the confusion and worries in her eyes, Christian sighed.
“He is unconscious. I went to the hospital to confirm. Apparently, his stomach bled from drinking too much alcohol six years ago. He was very ill. This time, his illness relapsed. That's why he is still unconscious.”
Christian said while observing Luna's reactions. “Are you a little worried for him?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 816
“Should we leave now?“
“I'm not concerned for him.“
Luna turned her face over. She did not dare to meet Christian's gaze.
“But since we're going to visit him, then we should leave earlier. I do not want to delay the children's dinner.“
Then, Luna took a deep breath and sped up her packing process.
Looking at her, Christian could not help but sigh. Actually, Luna was still worried for Joshua...
After Luna finished packing, Christian's car, which had already picked Nigel and Nellie up, was waiting at the entrance of the office.
When the four of them reached the hospital, they bumped into Fiona coming out from Joshua's ward.
Fiona was still in a knee-length dress. Her face was n o longer in a pitiful look, but a mocking expression instead.
“What? Once you heard that Joshua is sick and unconscious, you brought your children over? Are you thinking that he is almost dying, so you want your kids to inherit the family's fortune? Luna, how vicious of you.“
Fiona narrowed her eyes, sneered, and looked at Luna's face.
“Too bad, you two have been divorced for a long time. From the moment he decided not to pay your children's medical bills, your children have lost their legitimacy. They will never inherit his fortune. Even i f he dies, his money is all mine! “
Luna gasped at Fiona's attitude.
Joshua was only unconscious, yet Fiona was already thinking about the inheritance.
Was Luna the vicious one or was it Fiona? “Fiona, what are you saying?“
Christian furrowed his brows. He walked over and placed Luna and her two children behind him. He looked at Fiona in displeasure.
“You're currently my uncle's girlfriend. He only just turned unconscious, yet you started talking about inheritance? How is that appropriate?“
Fiona harrumphed coldly. She swept Christian a cold gaze.
“It is indeed inappropriate, but I was not the one that brought it up first. If you accuse me of being inappropriate, then what about her? She brought all her children over once he went into a coma. How disgusting! “
Then, Fiona harrumphed coldly and immediately left.
Luna remained in the same spot looking at Luna leaving. She could not help but sneer.
The Fiona that she used to know was always gentle, feeble, and rather sickly. She spoke to people in hushed tones.
Not once had she spoken so harshly with full of gusto like that moment.
It looked like once Joshua was unconscious, she lost her support, so she did not even bother to put on an act anymore?
Why did Joshua like this woman? His taste in women was extraordinarily bad.
However, Luna's taste in men was far worse.
After all, the man that she likes had such a narrow worldview, yet she still liked him for so many years.
“Don't mind her. She has always been this neurotic.“ Once Fiona left, Christian pursed his lips and gently comforted Luna.
Luna furrowed her brows.
“You and Fiona used to know each other??
Fiona has only been to Banyan City for a few days. Christian too. However, from the way he spoke, he did not look like he just knew Fiona.
“We used to know each other. We were from the same school.“
Christian waved his hands.
“Back then, she used to pursue me when she saw that I was rich. However, I don't like her, the pretentious type of woman that likes to fake her illness, so I ignored her.
“I never would have thought that she would even become my uncle's girlfriend. Life sure is unpredictable.“
Luna narrowed her eyes.
She accurately picked up on the words 'fake her illness' from what Christian said. ”Does Fiona like to fake her illness always?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 817
Christian was slightly stunned at Luna's question.
Using his fist to cover his mouth, Christian cleared his throat.
“I'm just saying. L-Let's go in and visit Joshua.“ Then, Christian turned around and entered the ward. Looking at Christian's back, Luna slightly furrowed her brows.
“Our cousin is hiding something from us, “ Nellie, who always did not like to talk, unprecedentedly opened her mouth and said, “And it's something to do with that woman.“
Luna looked at Nellie in shock.
Ever since Nellie had autism, she rarely initiated a conversation.
For that, the doctors did a lot of targeted practice for Nellie. They found many things that Nellie might be interested in, trying to lead her to initiate a conversation.
However, no matter how hard they tried, Nellie was not willing to open her mouth.
No one would have expected that Nellie would take the initiative to speak up.
Noticing Luna looking at her, Nellie pursed her lips rather embarrassedly.
“Let's go in.“
Nigel nodded as well. The both of them on each side of Luna pulled her into the ward.
In the ward, Joshua, with a cold handsome face, was quietly lying in bed.
His face was pale and his eyes were shut tight.
He laid there as if he was just simply asleep, yet he also looked like he was never going to wake up.
Looking at her Daddy, Nellie was a little heartbroken. She bit her lips and reached out to grab Joshua's finger.
Her voice was as soft as a mosquito buzzing. “Daddy, I'm here...
“Wake up and have a look at me, Nellie...“
Joshua's brows moved a little, but he did not look like he was waking up.
Nigel turned to look at Luna. He said in a suppressed tone, “Mommy, he...seems quite serious.“
Then, Nigel also walked over. Together with Nellie, he whispered something in Joshua's ears.
Luna stood by the door, her body stiffened. She looked at Joshua with his eyes shut.
She has liked this face for many years. She has also hated him badly. She loathed him to the point where she wanted to rip his heart out.
However, at that moment, looking at him silently lying there without moving, the emotions that surfaced in her heart were heartbreak.
How could he become like that...?
He was just over at her place last night, showing off his powers, commanding her to not be together with Christian.
Why was he lying there the next day, his life hanging by a thread as if he would die at any moment?
Luna looked at Joshua for a very long time before finally taking a deep breath.
She walked over and hugged Nigel and Nellie. Her tone was ice cold.
“Joshua Lynch, if you have any guilty conscience, you will wake up now. Nigel and Nellie have been sick for so long, yet they did not pass out. How special do you think you are? It's only a relapse of an old illness. What is there to pretend?
“Back then, when I was thrown into the ocean, I came back from the gates of Hell. The pain I suffered was a million times more than what you're suffering. Here, anyone could yell out in suffering or fall unconscious, except you.
“You owe us too much. You have to come back alive.“
Christian's eyes widened. He looked at Luna in shock. Then, he looked at Nigel.
Jude got Luna to come to get her to try to wake up the unconscious Joshua.
However, she...
Not only did she not try to wake him up, but she started scolding an unconscious person with vigor.
Nigel looked at Christian and shook his head, signaling for him to stop talking.
Luna sighed. Then, she aloofly reprimanded Joshua some more.
“If you're not going to wake up now, it's best if you just die. When Nigel and Nellie are cured, I will bring them abroad and we will never return to Banyan City ever.
“After you've died, they will never visit you ever. You could be together with your beloved Ms. Blake and die alone.“
Then, Luna took a deep breath and pulled Nigel and Nellie along.
“Let's go.“
She had no responsibility to wake him up.
Luna would never forget the things Joshua has done to her and the kids.
She was willing to bring her kids to visit Joshua because of her respect toward Christian, her benefactor.
At that moment, the kids had already seen him. She had also said what she needed to say. There was no need to stay there anymore.
If not, they would really become what Fiona said, coming over to fight for the inheritance.
“Luna! “
Looking at her about to leave, Jude, who had been hiding in a dark corner all this while, finally could no longer take it. He stood up and blocked Luna in her way.
”Are you leaving just like that?”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 818
“Joshua turned out like that because of you, yet you just come here to scold him and leave? How heartless are you?“
Luna was a little surprised at Jude's appearance.
Upon closer thought, Jude and Joshua are such good friends, it was only normal that he was there since Joshua was unconscious.
However, she could not accept his accusations.
“Because of me? Jude Smith, are you joking? Would Joshua drink to this state because of me? Since when did I have such an important place in his heart?“
In Joshua's eyes, Luna was just a dispensable character in his life. Whether it was in the past or at that moment.
If he truly cared for her, even if it was just a little bit, he would not have said such words as not paying for his children's medical bills.
He would also not attack Bonnie's company just when she was about to help Luna. Forcing Luna to beg him to let Bonnie go.
Everyone knew how vicious he was to Luna.
Jude bit his lips. He directly grabbed Luna's arm and pulled her to the stairwell.
“You received roses this morning, right?“
Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Jude with a wary face.
Chapter 818
“How did you know? Did you send them?"
Jude rolled his eyes at her. He sighed and said, “ Joshua sent them."
Luna tensed up in the same spot. She heard her own shocked and stiffened voice.
“How is that possible?"
“How is it impossible?" Jude sighed.
He took Joshua's phone from his pocket and found the order from the night before.
“Here, have a look!"
Luna narrowed her eyes and took over the phone to have a look.
It was an order for red roses. It had a huge amount. The order also stated to send over all the roses from the neighboring cities.
The address...
Was her office.
She did indeed receive the roses that morning.
Luna felt thunderstruck. Her body stiffened that she could not even move.
How could this happen? How could Joshua send her roses?
What was he trying to do?
“He thinks that you'll be happy that way."
Perhaps Jude noticed Luna's confusion, he sighed and said, “After leaving your place last night, Joshua immediately went drinking with me. He said that you told him that he has never once liked you. You never noticed nor felt the things he did for you. Later on...“
Jude sighed.
“He drank too much and became what he is now.
“He ordered the roses when he was drunk. He said that he made you unhappy and upset. He made you cry, but you told him once that this way would cheer you up, so he did accordingly.“
Luna held onto the phone. She felt as if her blood froze.
She remembered...
When she just got married to Joshua, she has said to him many times that she was envious that other girls could receive roses from their boyfriends.
She also said that if she were to receive roses from Joshua, she would be so happy she would forget all of her problems.
However, every time she said that Joshua would look at her coldly. Then, he would call her childish. He said that she's already an adult, why was she still pretending to be an underage girl, hoping to receive roses.
Later on, Luna no longer brought that up in front of Joshua.
She never would have thought that after so many years have passed, Joshua still remembered them.
He even thought of using this way to cheer her up when he was drunk. Luna bit her lips hard.
After a while, she looked at Jude mockingly. “You're lying to me again."
She had been lied to once previously.
Jude told her how much Joshua loved her, how much he liked her, and what he did for her.
However, what happened?
When she went to look for him under the pouring rain, she saw him carrying Fiona.
“I will never fall for it again."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 819
Jude gasped.
“Luna, I have never lied to you! “
It was Joshua who was the one that had always been lying to her!
Luna sneered. She sized Jude up.
“They say that the current head of the Smith family was an honest man who rarely lies to others. From what I could see, you are completely different from what the people are saying.
“But it's true too. Since you could become good friends with a pathological liar like Joshua for so many years, what they said must only be rumors. “
Then, Luna went around Jude and was about to leave.
She only took a few steps when Jude, behind her, furrowed his brows and called after her.
“Hold up.“
Jude furrowed his brows and chased after Luna. He pulled Luna back to the stairwell.
“Luna, must you be so harsh in your words? Joshua has his own difficulties, maybe there are many things he did not tell you and your kids, but his feelings for you are real. I'll say it once again, I have never lied to you! “
Then, Jude took his phone out, unconvinced. He showed Luna the video he took of Joshua being drunk the night before.
“Look at this man! When he's utterly drunk he is still calling out your name! “
Luna looked at Jude coldly. She was not willing to look at the video on his phone.
Jude panicked. He directly stuffed his phone into Luna's hands.
“You can not look for all I care! “
Luna held onto the phone. She was about to return it to Jude when she heard a drunken man's voice coming from the phone.
“Luna...
“I'm sorry...
“In this life, the person I'm most sorry for is you...“ The instant Luna heard Joshua's hoarse voice, Luna froze.
She gripped the phone. Although she was unwilling, she still lowered her head and picked the phone up.
The video on the phone is of Joshua sitting in a booth at the bar. He kept downing strong alcohol bottle after bottle.
He kept drinking while yelling her name and apologizing to her.
He made her lose two of her children.
Looking at how red Joshua's face was in the video and how he kept repeating those words, Luna felt as if a storm was happening in her heart.
She was drenched and suffocated.
Looking at how Luna was slightly relaxed, Jude immediately opened his mouth.
“You kept saying that other women are more important than you in his heart! Listen up! Is he calling for Aura, Alice, or Fiona? He has always been calling out your name! “
Luna pursed her lips. She gripped the phone so hard her knuckles turned white.
She sniffled her nose and looked at Joshua in the video. Listening to his voice, she had mixed feelings.
It turned out, he knew everything.
He knew that he was guilty. He knew that because of him she lost two of her children. He knew he deserved it.
However...
“Look at this man, “ Jude sighed and said in pain, “ his old illness has relapsed, but his illness was because back then when you went missing, he thought you had died. He drank himself sick!
“Luna, if you have any guilty conscience, you should not say harsh things to him and even curse him to his death when he drank until like this because of you! “
Then, Jude directly snatched the phone back from Luna.
“I 've already said what I needed to say. If you still think that Joshua never had you or your kids in his heart, then you can bring your children back. I won't stop you.“
Luna closed her eyes. She felt a little dizzy.
When Jude said all that and even showed her the video, Luna's frozen heart hurt once more.
She took a deep breath. Her voice was extremely hoarse.
“Then, he..."
Since he knew that he was sorry for her and he knew that she had a misunderstanding with him, then why did he not explain to her that night? He even said those things to her.
Even when Luna mentioned Fiona, the first thing he did was to defend Fiona?
Jude was silent for a while. After a moment, he sighed.
“Joshua has his difficulties. Some things should not be told by me. If he wanted to say, you all would know about it sooner or later, so don't ask me."

Then, Jude turned and left.
Luna smiled bitterly. She turned around and sat on the stairs.
She hugged her knees, quietly looking at the clean floor in front of her in a daze.
Her mind was blank.
She felt as if she should do something at that moment, but she also did not know what was the right decision or reaction.
After a long while, the doors to the stairwell were pushed open.
Nigel and Nellie were holding on to one side of the doors each. They looked at each other before walking over to Luna and sat down next to her, one of each side.
Nigel reached out his hands and grabbed Luna's hand.
“Mommy, what are you thinking?"
Luna came to her senses. She forced a smile at her children.
“Nothing much." Then, she took a deep breath. “ Should we head home? Let's go home. What do you feel like eating tonight?"
Nellie pursed her lips. She secretly held onto Luna's other hand.
“We'll get Christian to send us back. Mommy, why don't you...stay here and take care of Daddy.“
Luna was stunned for a moment. Then she laughed mockingly, “Why should I stay here and care for him? Is he worth me taking care of?“
Nellie sighed.
“Mommy, I know you still worry and care for Daddy. If not, after what Uncle Jude said to you, you should have taken us back home directly and not sit here in a daze. Since you stayed back, that meant that you're hesitant.
“Since you're hesitant, why don't you just stay.“
It was rare that Nellie would say so much at once.
Luna pursed her lips. She held Nellie's hand and laughed helplessly.
“It's so hard to get you to talk usually. Why do you have so much to say now?“
Actually, Luna could understand how Nellie likes Joshua too.
After all, when she first brought Neil and Nellie back to Banyan City, Nellie was the first one to return to Joshua. She was also the one who had been cared for by Joshua the longest.
Nellie instantly turned pale upon Luna's words. She bit her lips, lifted her gaze. Her eyes were reddened.
“I'm afraid that Daddy...might not wake up.“ Then, Nellie suddenly thought of something. She reached out to grab Luna's arm.
“Mommy, why don't we do this. You promise me to take good care of Daddy here. Get him to wake up. Once he wakes up, I will actively cooperate with the doctors' treatment. I'll get better sooner. What do you say?“
Once Nellie finished her sentence, Nigel, by the side, also nodded.
“Mommy, I think you should stay too, because...“ Nigel sighed in a sophisticated way.
“I 've already checked the bank account of the one you signed the agreement with Joshua. He has not... sent over the money for my medical bills. I asked Uncle Lucas just now. He said that Joshua used his own name to sign the agreement with you. If he does not wake up...my medical bills might possibly...“
Something exploded in Luna's mind upon Nigel's words.
She almost forgot! Nigel's medical bills!
It was as if she finally found a reason to stay back to take care of Joshua.
Luna stood up.
“Both of you are right. I should stay here and take care of him and get him to wake up sooner.“
Luna treated it as if she was doing it for her children. She had to wake him up.
“Then it's decided. I'll send both of them back.“
The moment Luna finished her sentence, Christian, who had always been eavesdropping by the door, chuckled. He walked in and gently patted Luna on the shoulders.
“Don't worry. I'll send them back home in one piece."
Luna nodded seriously.
Coincidentally, the nurse was calling for Joshua's family outside his ward in the distance.
Luna barely hesitated. She directly rushed out.
“That's me! "
Christian and the two kids stood by the entrance to the stairwell and looked at Luna discussing with the nurse about Joshua's illness seriously. They helplessly smiled.
“Your Mommy still can't let go of my uncle." Nigel nodded.
“So, my dear cousin, you have no chance of pursuing our Mommy."
Christian glared at Nigel before bending down to carry Nellie up.
“Let's go. I'll send you both home." He never thought of pursuing Luna.
It was not because he did not like her, it was because he knew he was not worthy of her.
