Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 137
Nellie did not expect her father would agree so easily, she remained in a daze for a while before coming to, walking into his room with her short little legs.The little girl sat on the small platform before his bay window, glancing at Luna who was still dead drunk on the bed, her worry and concern evident in her eyes. “Daddy, why is Aunty in your room?”Joshua's eyes darkened. “She’s drunk.”“Oh.” Nellie pursed her lips. “Aunty must be so sad tonight.”He lifted his glass and filled it to the brim. “Would she be?”“Of course.” Sitting on the platform, her short legs swung to and fro in the air. “Aunty said she thinks Aunt Aura isn’t nice to me, she wants to sort out the problem about Aunt Aura before she leaves, otherwise, she would be worried.”With that, the little girl glanced at her father, her expression fully expressing her grievance. “But what about you, Daddy? You let the evil Aunt Aura go just like that. Aunty is worried about me, plus, she feels you do not care about m

But if Joshua pursued Luna, things would be different. Even if Mommy still refused to expose her true identity, the two of them would have a chance to hit it off! With this thought, the little girl reached out her hand carefully and tugged at her father’s sleeve again. “Daddy, just try. I can help you!”Joshua smiled helplessly, shaking his head. “No.”“Why not!”Nellie bit her lip, glaring at him unhappily, “Are you worried you’ll forget you’re just acting and really fall in love with Aunty? So, your love for Mommy is so weak after all! Then I won’t help you persuade Mommy to come back! You yourself don’t believe that you’ll always love her, why would she come back! You’re not even willing to put on an act with Aunty, you don’t really love Mommy after all! You don’t really want me to reunite with her!”Joshua was quiet. “…”Facing the unreasonable little girl, suddenly, he was at a loss of how to react.He sighed, pouring himself another glass and emptied it. “I’ll consider it.”

The night deepened.Sitting in the hotel room, Malcolm Quinn looked at the scene on the big screen, frowning fiercely.He had been looking for Luna for more than two hours now, combing through every corner of the hotel.Finally, he spotted her slim figure in the CCTV recording from a roadside camera.The woman on the screen was dead drunk, stumbling in a certain direction.And the direction she was headed toward… was Joshua’s Blue Bay Villa.White half-moons appeared on the tips of his fingers that were clutching the wine glass.Luna only knew he was here today to attend Granny Lynch’s birthday party, but she did not know he came purposely for her.He and Joshua were sworn enemies.The Quinn family’s business endeavors didn’t extend to Banyan City.He rescheduled a few meetings just to come here and see her.That night, he received many overseas phone calls, urging him to return home.But the woman he cared about and valued above everything, not only did she drink for anoth

“My father is downstairs?”He climbed down from the bed, wearing the robe around his shoulders. “I’ll go wash up. You should tidy yourself up and get up too. Ask the servants to prepare whatever you want for breakfast.”He acted so naturally as if this was not the first time something like this happened between them.Looking at his broad back, Luna bit her lip. “Joshua.”He stopped.“What more do you want to say?”He opened his mouth, not even bothering to turn around, his voice cold and distant, “We’re both adults. Don’t tell me…”His lips turned up in a sneer, “You want me to take responsibility? You came to me drunk, is this a new mission Malcolm Quinn gave you?”With that, before she could react, he opened the bathroom door and walked in.Sitting on the bed, Luna looked at the tightly shut bathroom door, listened to the flow of the running water inside, her heart sinking deep down into the pit of her chest.His cold attitude reminded her of the countless days and nights w

“I don’t like it.”Joshua frowned and ripped her arms off of his neck. “I’m afraid your plan won’t work. Maybe if you asked before last night, I might’ve considered your suggestion. But after last night…”He placed his lips beside her ear, his low voice coupled together with his hot breath flowing into her ears, “I know you’re with Malcolm Quinn. Do you think I would keep someone loyal to my opponent beside me and allow you to work against me?”With that, he turned his head coldly and prepared to leave.However, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes seemed to be challenging him. “Are you that insecure?”He frowned and looked at her, saying nothing.Her lips curved up in a smile. “I’m just a woman, you’ve run your background checks on me, you should know by now what I’m capable of. And yet you’re afraid I would steal your company secrets, what else is it, if you’re not insecure?”She purposely pulled out the last word, trying to hook his slightly wavering heart.Joshu

No matter what, she was sure, he was not as unbothered by her as he pretended to be.At least he found her physically attractive, she could arouse his urges and desire.That was enough!Besides, all she wanted when she returned home this time was his seed!As for who this scum actually liked, who lived in his heart, she did not care at all!At this thought, Luna planted a kiss on her daughter’s cheek. “I don’t blame you.You gave me a good idea."With that, she sucked in a deep breath and turned to leave."Where are you going?"Looking at her retreating back, Nellie frowned, and hurriedly walked to the corridor with her short legs."I’ll go home now."Luna paused and smiled at her. "We will meet again soon!"Will we meet again soon?Nellie sighed, her father’s words from last night ringing in her ears.She realized she still had other things she had yet to tell her mother.For instance, when Daddy said he did not really want to protect that evil Aunt Aura; it was just a

Anne rolled her eyes at Luna. “Do you think someone who has been single forever, like me, would have something like that at home?”Luna smiled. “But I heard from Neil that a handsome uncle has been pursuing you recently? "As soon as she uttered these words, Anne's face instantly turned red."We just… we just got together, we’re not at the stage where I need to use a pregnancy test yet!"Looking at her blushing face, Luna's mood instantly improved.She smiled and turned on the TV with the remote control. Just as she wanted to continue teasing Anne, the doorbell rang."Delivery!"Delivery?Luna turned and glanced at Anne. "Did you order takeaway?"Anne shrugged. "It’s for you."Luna opened the door suspiciously.The delivery man handed Luna a paper bag.Back in the room, Luna opened the paper bag."Splatter—"The item that fell out of the paper bag was exactly what Luna just mentioned, a pregnancy test!Luna looked at the pregnancy tests that fell all over the floor, stun

“Other children grow more mature as their parents educate them. But your three children are already so mature… I’m afraid no matter how you educate them, they can’t get their childishness back?”Luna could not refute that.She sounded right.It was all Joshua’s fault, why were his genes so strong!These three young children were only six years old, and yet they were way more knowledgeable than their peers!Slipping her phone into her pocket, she brought the pregnancy tests back to her room, arranged them neatly in the drawer, then put on her mask and went to sleep.She was dead drunk last week.But from how heavy and fuzzy her head felt…He did not let her sleep for long.At the thought of what happened last night, Luna clapped her palms together in front of her chest. “Make me pregnant, please, make me pregnant…”After her prayers, she fell asleep in a daze.“John, listen to me, please!”Vaguely, Luna heard Anne’s voice drifting in from outside, she sounded like she was cr

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
