Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 352
Luna sucked in a deep breath and looked at the email Nigel sent to her on her phone.After she pressed the button on her necklace, Nigel had heard the entire conversation from her side.The little boy had sent her the evidence.Luna walked forward elegantly and stood in the middle of the crowd. “Mr. Walter, can I borrow a projector from you?”Five minutes later, Luna connected her phone to the projector and clicked the document open.“This is a set of statistics on a group of netizens that have been discrediting me in Banyan City. According to the IP address and source of the signal, the netizens are from an internet company registered abroad, and the legal owner of this company is the butler.” Instantly, the crowd exploded in a frenzy.Dennis turned to look at the butler in surprise. The butler, on the other hand, pointed in Alice’s direction discreetly and remained silent.Dennis buried his face in his hands helplessly.Alice and the butler did all that behind his back and

The butler was no innocent, simple-minded old man.The butler’s face fell as he listened to Alice’s words. “Ms. Gibson, I didn’t do all of this for you. I did them for my daughter, Yvonne! She’s good friends with you, and if you’re unhappy because of this woman, she’ll be just as unhappy, too.“As her father, it’s only natural that I wouldn’t want to see my daughter sad and moping around every day! Besides...”He glared at Luna viciously, and a cold smile hung from his lips. “This woman used work as an excuse to stay beside Mr. Lynch, but in actuality, she harbors ill-intentions toward him! Why shouldn’t I expose the actions of a woman who intentionally seduces a married man, showing the world how evil and calculating she is?”The hatred in his eyes as he glared at Luna and spat those words far surpassed the hatred one would have for a mistress.Luna narrowed her eyes slightly.A moment later, her lips twisted into a smile as she laughed coldly. “The old butler cares so much abou

Joshua shifted his gaze to Luna. “The one you should apologize to is her.”The butler paused, then approached Luna hesitantly. “Ms. Luna, I—”“I don’t want your apology.” Luna raised her head proudly as her cold eyes swept across the butler’s old and wizened face. “You dare say the rumors you spread about me, the way you discredited me, insulted me, all of these were done out of your own volition?”“Of course.” The butler raised his eyes and looked at Luna. “Besides me and my daughter, could there be anyone else?”Luna barked out a cold laugh and did not bother to answer his question nor accept his apology. She raised her eyes and looked at Joshua, who stood in the distance with his arm around Alice. “If Mr. Lynch has decided to let it go, then there’s no point in me pursuing this matter any further.“I’m not feeling very well, though. Forget I ever attended this banquet.”With that, she ignored the reactions of the crowd behind her as she lifted her skirt and left the hall.Lun

The banquet continued into the wee hours of the morning.It was not Joshua’s first time in Sea City, but for some unknown reason, they were exceptionally welcoming and enthusiastic. They lined up to toast him, while he emptied cup after cup…Finally, he almost fell unconscious, muttering nothing but Luna Gibson’s name non-stop, and was dragged back to his hotel by Lucas.“I’ll take care of him.” Lucas dragged him into the room. Following behind him, Alice said softly, “You’ve worked hard today. Thank you.”Setting the drunk Joshua gently down on the bed, Lucas frowned. “Ma’am, why not I take care of Mr. Lynch instead? In the six years when you weren’t around, I took care of him every time he got drunk. Don’t worry, and you should get some rest yourself, too.”He stood up and went into the bathroom to wet a towel, intending to wipe Joshua down.The moment he turned on the faucet, a hand grabbed his arm.Alice smiled softly and looked at him, “I’ll do it. Didn’t you see tonight? H

On the other end of the phone, Nigel’s voice was polite and obedient, “We’ll talk again when you’re free!”Then, the little boy hung up the phone.Luna had no choice but to head to the door and open it.The moment the door opened, the man strode in immediately, and his body reeked of alcohol. In his intoxicated state, he fell onto Luna’s bed in a heap. “Honey, I want water…”The term of endearment made the woman who held the door handle stiffen sharply. He never…called her Honey before.Hearing him call her that was one of the dreams she wrote down in her diary. Alas, that dream only came true six years later when he was drunk.“I want water…” As he laid on the bed, the man opened his mouth and requested again. Luna had no choice but to close the door and pour him a glass of water.She held out the cup of water that was carefully heated and approached him gently. “Here, drink this.”He nodded, climbed upright obediently, laid on the headboard of the bed, and emptied the class o

Joshua hugged Luna for a long, long time. He almost fell asleep on her bed with her in his arms, but he then remembered he was not in his room. After lying down for a long while, he stood up shakily and intended to return to his room.Luna glanced at his unsteady feet and felt her resolve softened.She sucked in a deep breath, leaned his weight on her shoulder, and slowly walked out of the room. The door to the room beside hers was still open.Luna sighed. He probably forgot to close it when he left.She helped him into his room, closed the door, and turned to get him a glass of water. As she went through his condition, he must have ventured to her room because he could not find water in his room.Placing the cup of water on the table, she tucked him into the blankets and turned to leave. Before she could travel far, he pulled her back again.The man laughed lightly and pressed her beneath him. “Honey, you’re home with me now. Where are you going?”Luna stiffened, but before

...That night, Joshua had a very long, very realistic dream where his Luna Gibson returned to him. She fed him water and listened as he called her Honey.They even…In his dream, he called her Luna Gibson, and she answered him every single time.Not Alice’s awkward and unnatural reply, but an incredibly natural and smooth reply.The man closed his eyes and reminisced for a long time.If only…this dream became reality.A moment later, he opened his eyes and was met with the hotel room’s luxurious décor. He was not the only one asleep on the huge, soft bed, however. There was also…Alice, dressed in nothing but her underwear.She laid asleep in his arms like a little kitten.On the ground beside the bed were piles of discarded tissues and their clothes.Joshua rubbed the space between his eyebrows. Seeing the sight that greeted his eyes, it was impossible for him to not know what happened.Was everything that happened last night true after all?“You’re awake?” Awakened by his

Luna and Joshua’s original schedule for the day was to visit several jewelry companies in Sea City to conduct a survey.The agreed time was 9am, but it was past 10am and there were no signs of movement from Joshua.As she sat in her room, Luna hesitated for a long while and wondered if she should approach him and ask. If they were not going out, she would not have to keep waiting.“Joshua, thank you for accompanying me today, but it doesn’t hurt so much anymore.” Just as she walked to their door and before she could knock, Alice’s soft whine drifted out from inside the room, “Didn’t you come to Sea City for business? You should go.”“No, I’ll cancel,” the man’s deep voice sounded extremely gentle. “Where else does it hurt? I’ll massage it for you.”“Here, this spot still aches. It’s all your fault…”“Okay, I’ll massage it for you.”...One sounded soft, gentle, and slightly whiny, like a call for attention. The other was deep and doting, with love and affection filling his voice

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
