Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1245
Besides Aura and Joshua, Michael also sat at the table in a well-pressed suit and yet failed to look elegant at all.
Seeing Luna walk downstairs, Michael hurriedly stood up with a bright smile on his face. “Luna.“
Luna frowned and glanced at him, confusion filling her eyes. Did he not come here to record an apology video? Why was he still here after the video was filmed?
Reading her confusion, Aura lifted her lips faintly. “I invited Michael in. It’s late, he hasn’t had dinner yet, the villa is so big, an extra seat at the table wouldn’t make much of a difference.“
With that, she lifted her eyebrows and side-eyed Luna. “Sis, don’t tell me you don’t even allow Michael to come in for a meal?“
Luna’s eyebrows screwed together fiercely at her words. She curled her lips, “I don’t mind an extra seat at the table, but…“ She sat down in her spot, her cold eyes sweeping across at the other woman. “You and I are not close enough for you to address me as your sister. Besides…“
She glanced at her coldly. “Don’t you already have a sister?“
Aura’s face paled instantly. How did she know…
“It’s just a form of address.“ Sensing the tense atmosphere between the two women, Michael
hurriedly tried to break the tension, all the while hanging a smile on his face. All he could think about was what was going to happen tonight. He did not want their fight to spoil his plans for the night.
“Let’s eat! “ As he spoke, he started to put a drumstick onto Joshua’s plate. “Joshua, you just recovered, you should eat more.“
Joshua glanced at him indifferently, took the drumstick, and threw it into the trash can beneath his feet.
Michael’s complexion turned ghostly white. But at the thought of what was waiting in store for him tonight…he endured the humiliation.
The atmosphere at the dining table was tense.
Luna pretended to cover her mouth and nose with a tissue, secretly dripping a few drops of the chemical into the bowl of soup in front of her and her glass of water. There were no changes to her water, but the change in color in the bowl of soup was even more drastic than usual.
Joshua read all of her actions clear as day, he knew very well what the change in the color of the food signified. So he quietly switched his food with Luna’s.
Luna paused, raised her head and looked at him. This was the first time she had seen him in a long while. Because she did not want Aura to make a fuss about her relationship with Joshua, she had been deliberately keeping her distance from him. Even though they stayed under the same roof, they had been communicating through the phones alone.
They had not seen each other in almost a month.
Joshua seemed to be recovering well, the color had returned to his cheeks, he no longer looked weak and frail. But his strong and well-defined jawline seemed to be even sharper now from his recent loss of weight.
Seeing her stare fixedly at him, Joshua lifted his lips in a faint smile. “I don’t want chicken soup, I prefer your vegetable soup. I think it tastes better.“
Joshua’s initial intention was to move the poisoned food to his own seat. He was worried Luna would forget about them as she ate and accidentally drank the bowl of poisoned soup.
But to Michael’s eyes, his actions held a different meaning. Joshua was showing off his love for Luna in front of him?
So he narrowed his eyes, and could not help it anymore, immediately reaching out for the bowl of vegetable soup in front of Joshua and finished it in one big gulp.
Under the shocked gaze of the three other people at the table, he placed his own bowl of mushroom soup in front of Joshua. “Joshua, you’re still not in full health yet, how can you drink vegetable soup? It’s not nutritious enough.“
