Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1388
Despite that, Joshua still recalled what Luna had said about him prioritizing his revenge over her.
Joshua let out an exhale and said, “Luna, you must have misunderstood me… To me, you’ve always been more important than my vengeance. I…
“I—I’ve always wanted to bring you home as soon as I can, but I knew that if I didn’t defeat the Landry family, I couldn’t see you at all— “
“That’s enough! “ Luna interjected, her tearful eyes etched with coldness. “What do you mean, you can’t see me without defeating the Landry family?
“Joshua, what kind of weird excuse are you going to come up with to explain that you don’t care about me at all?
“I’ve told you from the start that I’m at Quinn Mansion and that I was kidnapped by the Quinn family back to Merchant City! You’ve arrived in Merchant City for so long, yet you’ve never come to find me at all! “
She bit down on her lip and forced out a scornful, self-deprecating smile. “I’ve given you so many chances. I thought you’d take some time out of your busy schedule to find me here, and even if we didn’t manage to meet, I ‘d still feel happy knowing that you cared enough to find me.
“Sadly, Joshua, you didn’t come looking for me at all, not even once!
“You even had time to meet with Heather Landry but didn’t come see me even once.
“Why did you come now, then? It’s because I announced my engagement to Malcolm, I assume. Because of this, you finally realized that I won’t be waiting for you forever and that I won’t stay with you forever. That’s why you came searching for me, isn’t it?“
Luna flung Joshua’s hands away and snapped, “Well, since you chose the Landry family over me, you shouldn’t blame me for choosing Malcolm, the man who cares more about me, over you.“
With that, she turned and strode away.
Joshua remained motionless and stared blankly at Luna’s retreating figure. He wanted to chase after her, but his legs gave out beneath him, and he could not even summon the energy to go after her.
Seeing this, Lucas immediately stepped forward and grabbed hold of him. “Sir! “
A twinge of pain shot through Luna’s heart when she heard the concern in Lucas’ voice. She paused in her steps and sniffed. “You sure look exhausted, Mr.
Lynch. You should go back early and get some rest. Don’t waste your time on insignificant people like me anymore.“
With that, she left without a second glance.
However before she could enter the villa in the yard, the door was flung open.
Malcolm wheeled himself out of the villa and glanced first at Joshua, then at Luna. He furrowed his brows. “Luna, don’t be so cruel. Mr. Lynch came looking for you…because he can’t let go of you.“
As he said this, Malcolm wheeled himself over in Joshua’s direction.
Luna furrowed and quickly grabbed hold of Malcolm’s wheelchair. “You shouldn’t go over.“
However, Malcolm shook his head and replied, “ Luna, I think there must be some misunderstanding between you and Mr. Lynch…“
He removed Luna’s hand and wheeled himself over to Joshua. Then, he stared at Joshua’s pale, sweat- covered face. “Mr. Lynch, would you like to come in and have a seat?“
With that, he lifted his head to glance at the sky above and added, “It looks like it’s about to rain soon, and you don’t look well at all. You wouldn’t want to be caught in this downpour.“
As soon as he said this, Malcolm inched closer and whispered in a voice inaudible to the rest apart from him and Joshua. “If you catch a cold, you won’t be able to attend me and Luna’s engagement party anymore.“
