Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1231
Luna did not expect that Joshua would wake up at that particular moment. She paused, raised her eyes, and met his tired gaze.
She bit her lip. “When did you wake up?“
“Just a few moments ago.“ He lifted himself up and Luna hurriedly helped him lean back on the headboard, then handed him the glass of warm water from the bedside table.
“So you plan to ask Aura to move in with us, then make her believe that we’ve had a falling out so she has a chance?“
At her words, Joshua laughed softly as he sipped from the glass. He lowered the glass, gently grazing his thumb over her lower lip as he said, “So you agree that we’re now as close as we used to be?“
The rough pad of his thumb grazed lightly over her soft, sensitive lips, leaving her feeling slightly numb and itchy. She blushed immediately, then pulled his hand away. “When did I grow close to you again? “
He laughed lightly as he looked at her, his gaze deep and bottomless. “If we aren’t close, how can we have a falling out?“
She paused slightly at his words, only then realizing that she had misspoken. She pursed her lips, raised her eyes, and glanced at him helplessly. “What I meant was that you want her to think that we are not on good terms so she can take advantage and weasel her way in?“
He chuckled and did not continue making fun of her, merely nodding gently. “According to your reaction today, when you saw how Neil was tortured, asking Aura to move in would effectively burn the bridges between us. Of course she would think she has a chance.“
He looked straight into Luna’s eyes. “Asking her to move in, so she’ll let her guard down and focus on me is much better than her roaming around freely, constantly thinking of ways to threaten Neil into helping her.“
Luna paused, she still thought that was not a very good idea. But…she did not have a better idea either.
She sucked in a deep breath and stood up. “I’ll make you some oats and get Lily to send them upstairs. “
Joshua lay on the headboard, looking at her retreating back with faint eyes. “Luna.“
“Hmm/“
“Can you take the food up yourself and feed me?“
Luna shuddered violently at the sound of his low voice, all the blood in her body seemed to stop flowing. She huffed out a breath, “Can’t Lily do it?“
“No.“ His fiery gaze settled on her back. “Tomorrow after Aura moves in, we’re going to be at loggerheads. Can’t you offer me this last moment of warmth?“
At his words, Luna could not help but smile. She shook her head helplessly. “Alright.“
A few minutes later, when she walked into the room with the bowl of oats in her hands, Joshua was already waiting for her, leaning back on the headboard quietly, like an obedient child.
Seeing her walk in, he smiled. She looked at him helplessly but remained silent. Nevertheless, her movements as she fed him were particularly gentle.
After finishing the bowl of oats, he lifted his eyes and looked into hers. “Luna. After the matter with Aura is settled and Neil regains his memory. What do you say we have another wedding?“
Her hand that was holding the bowl paused slightly. She turned away. “I didn’t agree to marry you.“ “But.“ He glanced at her bulging pocket. “The marriage certificate is already in your hands.“ He chuckled lightly, staring at her side profile as he said, “You rushed to the press conference with our marriage certificate. If it wasn’t for me, not only would you already be Mrs. Lynch, you would also be cursed by the entire internet. Since you already decided, how can you now say you didn’t agree to marry me?“
