Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 282

“You’re the arrogant one right now! “

Luna gritted her teeth and glared at him. “You intrude into my house while I’m not paying attention. What right do you have to call me arrogant?“

Her detest and hostility toward him were written all over her face.

Joshua hated Luna like that.

He hated the mockery and indifference in her eyes. He hated that she did not have any regard for him.

He could not help but constrict his grip on her neck even tighter.

“I wanted to properly apologize to you today and also discuss Neil and Nellie.“

Neil and Nellie. Luna’s heart lurched as Joshua mentioned those two names.

She closed her eyes as her voice trembled, “Don’t you dare mention Neil and Nellie. You’re not worthy of them.“

He clutched Luna even tighter.

Joshua was strong; so strong that he could have snapped Luna’s neck in two.

Luna bore through the pain. She forced herself to breathe and continued, “I received Nellie’s call tonight. She cried on the phone, sobbing at how uncomfortable her stomach is.“

The next second, he let go of Luna and coldly looked away. “She didn’t even have dinner, so that’s why her stomach would be uncomfortable.“

When he let her go, Luna slumped onto the ground and leaned against the door feebly.

In the end, she sat up with her back against the door.

“Is that so?“

She looked up. There were tears at the corner of her eyes due to the shortness of breath a moment ago, but her gaze was with silent fury.

“While Nellie was still in the womb, her brothers took away her nutrients, so she has been small and skinny ever since birth. The doctors said that her body was too weak, that she might not live for more than a month. I cared for her daily and tried to give her a chance to live however I can. Although she grew up frail, I never let her get seriously ill in the six years she was with me! Not once has she ever had

an uncomfortable stomach, nor has she ever called me crying like this.“ This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

Joshua shuddered at Luna’s words.

His fiery rage slowly dissipated at Luna’s cold words.

He looked at Luna calmly. “Perhaps she misses you too much, and she’s only pretending.“

“Joshua.“

Luna wiped the tears away from her face. “You’re just not willing to admit that you and Mrs. Lynch didn’t take good care of my daughter. You forbade them to have any snacks, fruits, or milk. You forced them to eat according to the time the adults eat. No. I t wasn’t eating on time—it was to wait for you to come back before eating. If you don’t come back, they’ll have to starve.“

Joshua furrowed his brows.

He installed a signal jammer back home. He knew Neil and Nellie were communicating with Luna, but he turned a blind eye to it.

However, he did not expect that the two of them would tell all these to her.

“I’ve already gotten Alice to change yesterday. Isn’t it different already today?“

“Yes! It is different from yesterday! “

Luna glared at Joshua angrily. “Today, you fed them snacks that are difficult for children to digest. It was only when they could no longer have any that you stopped! Their stomachs suffered so much, and that was why they went upstairs, yet you dare accuse them of not having dinner in front of me! If I didn’t let Lily prepare some medication for them in time, they would’ve spent the night at the hospital, do you know that?“

Then, tears fell from Luna.

Six years had passed—she had left Joshua for six years. Other than the day she found out that Nigel has leukemia, that day was the one that haunted her the most.

She underwent plastic surgery after she gave birth to wipe off anything that had to do with Luna Gibson.

The surgery was so painful that she could barely sleep at night, yet she did not drop a single tear over it.

Even if Luna was strong, hearing how her kids were sick or suffering would make her like any other woman: helpless, regretful, and beat herself up.

She hated herself for not getting pregnant with Joshua’s child the last time. She hated herself for not being able to protect her children properly.

They were her little angels; they should not have suffered like that!

Joshua was rooted where he stood as he gazed at the weeping Luna, filled with a maelstrom of emotions instantly.

He took a deep breath and was about to leave. “I’ll go back and check up on them right now.”
