Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1365
As soon as she heard Malcolm’s voice, a twinge of guilt seeped through Luna’s heart.
She could not believe that Malcolm still thought of her, even in a time like this, while she…did not even know about his accident.
Malcolm furrowed his brows and turned around somewhat frustratedly, puzzled as to why ‘Lorraine’ was not answering him. “Why aren’t you saying anything?“
As soon as his gaze landed on the woman standing behind him, Malcolm’s pupils dilated.
Seeing how astounded Malcolm looked, Luna approached him and smiled. “I ‘m back, Malcolm. “
Malcolm remained silent for a moment, then said somewhat helplessly, “I called to warn you so you could escape, but you—“
Finally, he let out a sigh and said, a hint of pity and reproach in his tone, “Why didn’t you escape? You should’ve known that if they managed to capture you, they’d force you to marry me.
“I’m now a cripple. Now that you’ve returned, I ‘m not even capable of sending you back home anymore
As soon as she heard this, Luna felt as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart. She bit down on her lip and said in a low voice, “I came back voluntarily.“
She let out a sigh and lowered her head to glance at Malcolm’s legs. “I can’t possibly not visit or take care of you, now that you’ve ended up like this.“
A gentle expression crept across Malcolm’s face as he said, “Then what about Joshua?“
Luna turned to pour Malcolm a glass of water and smiled. “He’ll understand.“
Joshua was different, after all that they had been through.
In the past, he would get angry and jealous every time Theo so much as took a step near her, but just this morning, he even willingly let her send Theo off by herself so that Theo could have one last moment alone with her.
Luna knew that Joshua was clear about his place in her heart. She belonged only to him, and no one would be able to take her away from him. This was why he no longer got jealous as easily as before.
Since he had done so with Theo, Luna knew that he would do the same with Malcolm. After all, this was the man who had saved her life and helped her take care of her three babies in the past.
Despite this, however, she still had to find a way to contact Joshua as soon as possible.
Luna handed the glass to Malcolm, let out an exhale, and asked in a low voice, “Malcolm, can I borrow your phone for a moment? Hunter threw mine away.“
A glimmer of fury flashed through Malcolm’s face as he took the glass from her. “That Hunter! How dare he break your phone like that? You’re the Quinn family’s guest, not a prisoner! “
With that, he took out his phone and handed it to Luna. “Do you remember Joshua’s number?“
Luna nodded, turned around, and dialed Joshua’s number with Malcolm’s phone.
To her surprise—
The voice she heard when the call got connected was Hunter’s, cackling, “Luna, are you still trying to reach your Mr. Lynch? I knew that that useless Malcolm would lend you his phone like an idiot, so I rigged his cellphone!
“All of the calls with a signal related to Banyan City will automatically be rerouted to my phone, so you should just give up! “
Luna could not help snapping as she gripped the phone tightly, “Hunter Quinn, I’m just trying to contact him so he wouldn’t worry about me! Do you think he won’t be able to find out what you did? If by the time he comes to Merchant City to look for me and gets into conflict with the Quinn family, are you able to bear its consequences?“
Hunter guffawed when he heard this. “Luna, you overestimate yourself. Do you think Joshua will get into conflict with the Quinn family because of you? In your dreams! “
He continued in a jeering tone, “You’re just a woman. A woman is always replaceable to a successful man! “
