Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1124
She herself knew…how much despair filled her chest the moment she saw the slip of paper and thought that Nellie and Nigel had been kidnapped.
They had no idea. They thought this was good for her, a welcome surprise. The worry, panic, despair that she felt on the journey here should not exist, she should be happy.
“Luna.“ Joshua pushed down the pain radiating from his belly, and strode toward her like a healthy man, holding the present he prepared for her in his hands. He looked at her, his eyes warm and gentle. “After so many years, this is the first time I’m celebrating your birthday with you.“ He handed the gift to her. “ I hope you like it.“
The moment the words left his mouth, the crowd started to shout in excitement.
“Luna, come on, take it, President Lynch put in a lot of effort into choosing your present! “
“Exactly! He booked the entire beach and hotel, he’s so romantic! “
“I can’t believe this is their first time Luna’s birthday, no wonder he worked so hard for this… “
The roar of the crowd rang in her ears in an endless loop. But she could not hear them at all.
She lifted her eyes and stared fixedly at Joshua. “You prepared all of this?“
He nodded. “Yes.“
“Asking Nellie and Nigel to leave the house…1eaving me a note, all of this is your idea?“
He frowned and was about to shake his head when Nellie, who was standing beside him, tugged at his pant leg. He remembered the deal with his daughter, so he smiled lightly and looked at Luna gently. “Yes.“
Luna bit her lip tightly and looked at him furiously, then raised her hand “Slap — —! “ A loud, clear slap rang across the beach.
Everyone stared at the scene in front of them in shock. The birthday song came to an abrupt halt.
Luna did not put much strength into her slap, but Joshua was too weak. Under the force of her slap, he lost his balance and stumbled backward a few steps, knocking into the cart behind him. The few knife wounds on his tummy that had yet to recover collided directly against the sharp edges of the cart. Sweat beaded on his forehead as the mind-numbing pain took over his body, his complexion turning pale instantly.
Beside him, Lucas noticed this and rushed over, wanting to help support him. But with a warning glare, Lucas stayed in his spot.
Joshua straightened himself slowly and schooled his expression, not allowing anyone to see the pain he was currently suffering.
“Joshua Lynch, you enjoy playing me for a fool, don’t you?“ Luna bit her lip and glared at him. “This is already the second time! I was already mad the last
time you sent me an anonymous text just to have a chat with me in the alley, I know you can tell! You did this on purpose, didn’t you?“
The more she spoke, the angrier she got, her teeth clenched tightly, her voice barely squeezing out through the gaps in her teeth. “Do you know what sort of life I’m living now, every day I’m scared and worried, afraid something will happen to my children! You lured me out with Nellie and Nigel’s disappearance, do you know I was so worried on the way here that I almost planned out my funeral? Do you have to use such a devastating way to trick me over here just to celebrate my birthday?“
Joshua was completely stunned. So was everyone else present.
Luna threw the present Joshua gifted her onto the ground. “Plus, since I almost died six years ago, I no longer like to celebrate my birthday. For the past six years, I only celebrated my birthday to make the children happy. Someone with no past and no future has no right to celebrate her birthday! Joshua Lynch, my past and my future were both ruined by you, you have no right to celebrate my birthday for me! “
