Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1340
“My father…has never fulfilled his responsibility of a father, and instead, always backstabbed me.“
With that, he turned around and added, “Still, there is one piece of good news: he finally confessed the location where he had hidden Aura. I’m bringing my men to find her in a while.“
Luna paused for a moment, then nodded. “Please be careful.“
Joshua curled his lips and murmured a reply. Then, he helped Luna up from her chair and said, “You should go back home with the children and get some rest. I ‘m guessing that Aura must’ve seen the news about Adrian’s capture, and she must be trying to escape.
“However, that place is rural and desolate, and she can’t have gone far. It’s just that it might take some time to find her, so please don’t wait for me.“
Luna murmured in approval, then stood up and walked out of the yard with Joshua’s help.
It was getting late.
After sending off the final florist’s van, Alfred suddenly caught sight of a van that had yet to leave.
It had already been so long since he told the female driver where to get her payment, so why was she still here? Did she get lost?
Alfred passed on his tasks to a servant and left to find the driver himself.
This woman had been working with Lynch Mansion for a long time, and she frequently stopped by to deliver flowers. She must have been familiar with the layout of Lynch Mansion at this point, so how could she get lost?
As soon as he stepped foot into the hallway, he caught sight of the woman standing in the corner. He furrowed his brows and patted Aura’s shoulder. “Hey, what are you doing here, looking so suspicious?“
Alfred’s voice was loud, so Joshua and Luna, who had just been about to leave, heard this. Joshua frowned and immediately turned to glance alertly in their direction.
Alfred was standing in the corner, nagging a woman dressed entirely in black and wearing a cap and face mask. “You’ve already been here many times, so how can you not know where the accounting department is? Why didn’t you retrieve your money? What are you doing, standing here like this?“
The woman lowered her head and replied in a hoarse voice, “I got lost. The décor today looks different than before…“
Alfred rolled his eyes at her, then turned to show her the way. “We just added some decorations for the memorial service today, but you’re already confused by this?
“If it weren’t for the fact that you’ve worked with us for a long time now, I would’ve thought you were a spy here to steal information! “
Aura’s entire body froze when she heard this. After a moment, she let out an awkward laugh. “How can that be? Maybe I ‘m a little confused from my flu, so I got lost…“
Alfred continued to reprimand her as he took her in the right direction, passing by Joshua and Luna.
“Sir, Ma’am, “ he greeted obediently as he passed by. With that, he turned and glanced at the woman behind him with a frown. “Please remember these two people. They’ll be the owners of Lynch Mansion from now on. This is Sir, and this is Ma’am.“
A glimmer of malice flashed through Aura’s eyes when she felt Joshua and Luna’s proximity. She clenched her fists in anger.
If she had not overheard Joshua saying that he would send Luna home and come for her himself…she would take out her hedge trimming scissors, which she had used to kill the actual driver, and stab it into Luna’s throat right this moment!
However, she had no choice but to bear this agony and greeted them in a low, hoarse voice, “Hello, Sir, Ma’am.“
With that, she turned and followed Alfred to the backyard where the accounting department was.
Joshua remained motionless and watched the woman leave. However, he could not help but frown when he noticed her clenched fists. “Wait— “
