Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1499
It was clear that Heather was just there to stir up trouble.
Despite this, Christopher still gave her a polite smile and replied, “What are you talking about, Ms.
Heather? How can you possibly be less important than anyone?
“I just…have something urgent to take care of.”
“What is so urgent that you don’t even have the time to give me a quick checkup? ” Heather crossed her arms at her chest and looked at Christopher disdainfully. “I ‘m not a pregnant lady, so it won’t take you long to examine me at all.”
“But— “
” Christopher, why don’t you give Heather a quick checkup?” Just as Christopher was about to say something further, Charles’ voice rang out from behind them. “Heather is a bratty child. If you were to give only Luna a checkup and not her, she’d be upset for a long time.”
With that, Charles slowly ambled over and glanced at Christopher impassively. ” Besides, don’t I know you well enough? I know that you don’t have many urgent things to take care of at all.”
Christopher had no choice but to agree. He turned around, took his doctor’s bag from Joshua, and then pretended to order him around. “Please bring Ms. Luna back to Swan Lake Chalet and make her a cup of tea with the best tea leaves we have.”
Joshua nodded and turned around, about to leave with Luna.
He had only taken one step when Heather stopped him. “I’ve already said it won’t take long to give me a checkup, so why don’t you follow Dr. Christopher in, and then you can leave together? Why do you want Luna to wait for you at Swan Lake Chalet?”
Charles nodded when he heard this. “Even though June and the other servants are there, it’s still inappropriate for Luna to be waiting there on her own.”
With that, he glanced at the man in the white coat and mask. “You should come in and wait for your master a little longer. We have plenty of delicious pastry, and we’re always welcoming to guests.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes.
He was unsure whether Charles had recognized him, but he was confident that…Heather had.
Why else would she suddenly pester Christopher and insist that he stayed to give her a checkup?
Seeing that Joshua had no other means of escaping, Luna started to grow a little anxious. She frowned and said, “Father, I—”
Before she could finish her sentence, however, Joshua gently tapped her back, indicating for her to stop talking.
Even though he was uncertain how Heather had managed to recognize him, Joshua knew that he could not get out of Landry Mansion in his disguise anymore.
Since he was bound to be exposed sooner or later, he did not want Luna to stick up for him, lest the Landry family start suspecting or doubting her.
Even though Joshua did not approve of her return to the Landry family, he still did not wish for her to be bullied by them.
Joshua’s sudden tapping interrupted Luna mid-sentence.
“Come on, Sis, don’t be so impatient; it’ll just take a short while. Besides, why are you so impatient to get to Dr. Christopher’s place?”
Luna furrowed her brows and shot Heather a cold glance. “I want to get my prescription, of course. “
“Oh.” Heather started giggling when she heard this. “Well, why are you so impatient to get your prescription? I know it’s because you care about the child in your belly, so that’s why you want to get your medication as soon as possible, but some people who don’t know the whole story might think you’re heading there to meet up with a forbidden lover.
“People will gossip if they see you rushing off so hurriedly.”
Luna’s expression darkened when she heard this. She removed Heather’s hand from her arm and snapped, “When you say people, do you mean yourself?
“You were the one who let slip about my pregnancy to the press this morning, weren’t you? Therefore, if any bad rumors start circulating about me, I know it was your doing.
“You should try harder to watch your mouth, Heather.”
