Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1369
Joshua had bought out more than ten small companies in Merchant City. Every one of these companies played a part in the Landry family’s pharmaceutical and fragrance businesses.
Luna wondered about this as she recorded the names of these companies and their contact numbers from the news on the TV.
Was Joshua not there to find her? Why did he buy out so many companies related to the Landry family overnight?
It seemed as though…he was doing this to get revenge on the Landry family.
However, Luna tried to reassure herself that maybe Joshua just wanted to give the Landry family a taste of their own medicine while coming to Merchant City to find her at the same time.
After all, the Lynch and the Landry families were mortal enemies. If they found out that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City, they would stir up trouble for him.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt an even more compelling desire to see Joshua.
After writing down the numbers of the companies Joshua had bought out, Luna borrowed Malcolm’s phone and called them.
Some of the companies ignored her entirely, and some of them even thought she was a scammer.
Luna spent an entire morning calling the companies one by one, but none of them wanted to pass on her message to their senior management.
Luna felt a little distraught by this, but she did not give up just yet.
After lunch, she continued calling them one by one.
Malcolm’s expression dimmed when he saw how anxious Luna became. After a moment, he chuckled as he gazed at Luna’s side profile. “Why don’t I invite Joshua here as a guest?“
Luna shook her head. “I don’t want that.“
Even though Malcolm used to be the man of the household, Luna could tell that the Quinn family was becoming more and more hostile toward him ever since his accident.
He had simply stood up for her this morning, but Granny Quinn and Hunter had both looked down on him for this.
If he invited Joshua to Quinn Mansion because of her Luna did not dare imagine the consequences that would ensue from this.
However, after cold-calling multiple times, she still could not get in touch with Joshua at all.
At this moment, a piece of news flashed through the TV screen.
According to the news, Joshua was supposed to be meeting the Landry family’s biggest supplier at the Cold Jazz Restaurant in the city center for a business meeting.
Malcolm caught sight of Luna watching this news and curled his lips into a small smile. “Shall we go to the Cold Jazz Restaurant tonight?“
Luna nodded. After a moment, she turned to stare at Malcolm. “Can I… Can I go out?“
“You can’t on your own, but if I go with you, that’ll be fine. “ Malcolm chuckled and stared at Luna with a kind, gentle expression. “Don’t worry. I’m here with you.“
Luna nodded and got up to pour Malcolm a cup of
coffee.
Luna watched with a complicated expression as Malcolm lowered his head to drink his coffee.
Malcolm had done so much for her, but…
She could not even keep her initial promise to him to marry him.
She would never be able to repay his kindness.
Luna decided that if there were a chance, she would try her best to help Malcolm’s legs recover. Even if she could not do so, she would bring Joshua and the three children along to thank the Quinn family in person.
A tormenting afternoon passed.
At 5 p.m., Malcolm asked the servants to pack some clothes for him and let Luna wheel him out the door.
As soon as they left the yard, they ran into Granny Quinn and Hunter, who were admiring the flowers at the front gate of Quinn Mansion.
Hunter caught sight of them immediately and snickered, “Hey, Malcolm, where are you bringing your little fiancée?”
Luna furrowed her brows, feeling a little uneasy at the mention of ‘fiancée’.
However, before she could say anything, Malcolm let out a sigh and replied, “Don’t say nonsense like that, Hunter. Luna hasn’t even agreed to marry me.”
Hunter sneered. “Well, she has to, in the end. If she doesn’t want to marry you, then you’ll have to blame yourself for becoming a cripple. Not even the woman you saved wants to be with you.”
With that, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at Luna. “Isn’t that true?”
Luna bit down on her lip but did not say a word.
