Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1377
Luna never contacted Joshua again ever since that phone call.
Even after Malcolm’s few attempts to advise her to call, she never did.
Every day, Luna sat on the sofa of the living room in Quinn Mansion and watched the news blankly.
Joshua had once again cut off a few of the Landry family’s business supply chains. He had forced them into a desperate situation again.
The Landry family started to initiate contact with Joshua, hoping to soften things up…
“Luna.“
Malcolm caught sight of Luna’s despairing look and sighed, placing a cup of water in front of her. “ You’re just half a day away from the deadline that Granny Quinn set. You…really don’t want to try contacting Joshua and ask him to take you home?“
As Malcolm spoke, he lowered his head and said, “If he doesn’t take you away soon, you’ll be forced to marry me, a useless man.“
Luna took the cup from him and pursed her lips. “He said himself that he wanted to deal with the Landry family first. He wanted me to wait.“
“But…“ Malcolm sighed, wheeled himself over to her, and fixated his penetrating stare on her. “Luna, I know you don’t love me, and I know the person I am now isn’t a match to you at all. You can’t continue
“Malcolm.“ Luna sniffed and lifted her head to stare straight at Malcolm, “Stop talking. Didn’t you say there’s half a day left? How it ends is all in Joshua’s hands, not mine.“
If Joshua did not manage to find her before the Quinn family forced her to marry Malcolm, maybe the two of them were not meant to be.
Luna was willing to wait until the very last minute.
However, if he surpassed that deadline, she decided she would not wait another second longer.
Seeing that she was in bad spirits, Malcolm sighed and suggested bringing Luna out for a walk and going to a restaurant for a meal.
Luna raised her head to shoot him a glance. “Will Granny and Hunter allow it?“
Malcolm nodded. “But…“ He let out an awkward cough and added, “Hunter will probably follow us from a distance. You should know…he’s scared that you’ll run away and that I’ll help you to do so.“
They would be followed.
All of a sudden, Luna felt there was no point going out in the first place.
On the other hand, Malcolm seemed excited by this prospect. Luna guessed that he had been locked in the house alongside her during this time and could not wait to get a breath of fresh air.
Luna hesitated for a moment before finally agreeing. It had indeed been a tough time for Luna, and she decided that she should go out to have a walk and get some fresh air.
Malcolm took her to a restaurant named Lucky Den, where they used to go all the time in the past.
When Luna first saw the name ‘Lucky Den’, she liked it so much that she dragged Malcolm into the restaurant to eat.
Since then, Lucky Den became the spot where they would visit every time they met.
However, despite being back at this familiar place, Luna no longer felt the excitement she once felt.
The news displayed on the street was all about Joshua.
This man had brought a massive amount of fortunes into Merchant City to undercut the Landry family. With forces that could not be stopped, the Landry family was defeated within a week.
According to the reports, the Landry family tried to find ways to communicate with him in hopes that he would show them mercy.
Luna sat in a corner on the second floor of Lucky Den. Whenever she heard the people around her mention Joshua’s name, she could not help feeling irritated.
They were right: Joshua was a capable, strong, and charismatic man.
When it came to relationships, however, he was a scumb*g.
Even though she was the love of his life, she still
could not match up to his vengeance toward the Landry family.
Malcolm ordered a few dishes that Luna loved and tried to engage her in conversation in hopes that it would brighten her mood.
