Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1179
Luna’s hand was just about to grab the handles of Joshua’s wheelchair when she stopped a little.
After a moment, she immediately caught up to Joshua and grabbed the handles to his wheelchair, pushing him out.
“Joshua, I know you’re angry at me for going rogue a t the last minute, admitting that I am engaged to Michael, but…“
Luna sniffled and bit her lips. “I had no choice. The box that Aura gave me. Inside— “
Joshua looked ahead as he calmly interrupted Luna, “ Inside the box had something to do with Theo and Neil. The letter she wrote was threatening you. She said that if you don’t do according to what she said, she’d hurt Theo and Neil.”’
Joshua smiled. He sounded rather self-deprecating. “
Am I right?“
Luna was completely stunned. After a while, she bit her lip. “How did you know…?“
“I made a guess.“
“Since you already knew, why did you— “
“Luna.“
Joshua took a deep breath. He stopped in his tracks and elegantly turned his wheelchair around.
He lifted his gaze and looked at Luna fixedly. He sneered a little. “Do you think that if you obey Aura’s demands, she won’t hurt Theo and Neil? Or do you think that if you discuss it with me, I won’t be able to protect Theo or Neil?“
Luna pursed her lips into a straight line upon Joshua’s words. She looked at him. Her mind was a little confused at that instant. After a while, she came to a realization.
Joshua was blaming her for not discussing it with him when she was threatened by Aura.
Luna was silent for a while. She slowly lowered her head and looked at him. “Joshua, I— “
“You’d rather believe the promises of a pathological liar than believe that I’d try to help you find a solution.“
Joshua looked at Luna. His deep gaze was filled with self-deprecation and indifference.
“From the beginning, you’ve never discussed it with me once. You think that your obedience would satisfy Aura, so you never considered me once.“
Joshua closed his eyes to not let her see the disappointment and hurt in his eyes.
“In your eyes, I’m a person who could be abandoned at any moment.“
He was the richest and most prestigious man in Banyan City.
However, that night, at the elaborate engagement ceremony he personally prepared for Luna, he became Banyan City’s laughingstock.
Although Lucas had already brought his men to painstakingly find all the people in the crowd to silence them, it was impossible for Joshua to not get angry.
Luna bit her lip hard. She could understand his anger. However, at that moment, she truly did not have a choice.
Luna sniffled. She turned to look away, not daring to look at Joshua.
“I’m sorry. I…really had no choice. I was too anxious. I was afraid that she’d do something to Neil and Theo, and that was why…”
Joshua opened his eyes. He sneered a little. “In the end, you still don’t trust me. No matter how well I treat you, you still— “
Luna bit her lips harshly, turning back to meet his cold gaze as she mustered the courage to interrupt his words. “Joshua, it’s not that I won’t trust you. Do you know how much I used to trust you? Whatever you said, I believed you.”
