Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1511
The room fell into silence.
Seeing the look of disbelief on Luna’s face, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. “I asked Christopher, and he told me the baby in your belly is more than a month old.
“A month ago, you had just been abducted, and unless you slept with him immediately after arriving in Merchant City, you wouldn’t have gotten pregnant.
“At that time, you had just suffered a miscarriage, so you couldn’t have done that.”
With that, he took a sip from his cup and added, ” Therefore, according to my speculation, this baby is the same one that had been conceived about a month ago.”
His analysis was logical and spot-on.
Luna pursed her lips and stared at him intently. “Yes.
She knew that there was no hiding the truth anymore, so she did not want to lie to him any further. “When I fell from the second floor, I had suffered some bleeding. The doctor and I thought the child was gone…
“But to my surprise, it survived against all odds.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “But now, you claim that this child belongs to Malcolm… Are you planning to let my child have a crook as his father?”
“A crook? ” Luna sneered. ” I never intended to let Malcolm become this child’s father, but on top of that, Malcolm isn’t a crook, as you claim.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and snickered. ” Isn’t he?”
To him, Malcolm was something even more deceitful than a crook.
However, Luna was amused by this. “You’re calling Malcolm a crook? Please don’t forget, Joshua, that Malcolm was the one who had saved my life and took care of me when I gave birth.
” Before returning to Banyan City, the children had always thought of Malcolm as their godfather, and to them, Malcolm used to be more important than you.”
The room fell silent.
Joshua stared at her through narrowed eyes. After a long while, he tilted his head to one side and tried to suppress his emotions. “You say that was in the past. However, after meeting me, the children ended up liking me more.”
Luna muttered in affirmation but did not reply.
After a long silence, she lifted her head to stare at Joshua. “Since you asked me here to visit the children and question me about the origin of this baby in my womb, then I guess it’s time for me to leave since you have your answers now.”
After spending an entire night awake, Luna’s head throbbed tremendously.
As soon as she stood up, Joshua furrowed his brows and could not stop himself from grabbing hold of her wrist and pulling her into his arms.
The soft and gentle fragrance wafting off her body made him freeze.
He missed this feeling of holding her in his arms.
Luna frowned and struggled against his grip to no avail.
Therefore, she stopped struggling and instead let him hold her. “What are you doing, Joshua? Is this a farewell hug?”
Joshua murmured in reply and said in a hoarse voice, “How long are you…planning to stay at the Landry’s?
Luna could not help feeling that there was a hint of sorrow and pleading in his tone. She pursed her lips and inhaled the unique, manly scent that wafted off his body. “I’m telling you this because I don’t want to hide this from you; the reason I chose to return to the Landry family is that my mother’s health is deteriorating.
“Aside from that, though, it was also because I was disappointed in you.”
Joshua’s entire body stiffened when he heard this. He held her close to him and asked, “Then…are you still disappointed in me now?”
“A little.” Luna closed her eyes. “However, now I know that…there was a reason why you didn’t come to find me, so I don’t hate you as much as I used to anymore, but…”
She let out an exhale and removed herself from Joshua’s embrace , her clear gaze fixated intently on Joshua’s face. “Joshua, from today onward, I’m a Landry, and you’re a Lynch.”
