Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1541
“The reason why I came to Landry Mansion so early is to find Luna, of course, “ replied Malcolm calmly despite having been thrown such a sharp question by Jim. “I haven’t been feeling well these few days, and I only found out about what happened to Mrs. Landry this morning.“
With that, he lifted his head to glance at Luna. “Luna has been so close with Mrs. Landry ever since she returned to the Landry family, and now that something like this has happened to her…I was worried that Luna would be upset, so I came here immediately to check on her.“
Suddenly, his tone changed as he glanced at Luna and Jim. “However, as soon as I arrived, I realized that Luna wasn’t home. I thought she had probably spent the night in the hospital, so I asked my servant to take me away.“
With that, he sighed and shot Jim a somewhat displeased look. “That was what happened. Do you have any other questions, Master Landry?“
Jim sneered. “Is that really what happened?“
Malcolm chuckled and replied, “Well, what else cou1d’ve happened? Are you suggesting that I slept over here last night?“
“Had all of you been away the entire night? What are you yapping about so early in the morning?“ Just as the three of them were disputing about this, Heather’s voice rang out from behind them.
She came downstairs dressed in her pajamas, yawning at the same time.
When she caught sight of Malcolm, Heather paused and curled her lips into a smirk. “Have you come here so early to find Luna? What a faithful fiancé you are, Master Quinn.“
With that, she plopped down on the sofa, picked up the bowl of fruit on the table, and started munching on them. She glanced at the three of them standing next to the door and asked, “Luna, Jim, aren’t you going to invite our guest into the house?“
“There’s no need for that.“ Malcolm sneered and said contemptuously, “I came all the way to visit Luna so early in the morning, but they all thought I had spent the night here. I don’t even dare to imagine the consequences if I were to overstay my welcome.“
With that, he scoffed and ordered, “Let’s go, Sam.“
The servant named Sam quickly wheeled Malcolm away.
Luna pursed her lips and contemplated for a moment as she watched Malcolm leave, then quickly chased after him. “Malcolm, that’s not what my brother meant at all. He was just…“
Malcolm’s wheelchair stopped in its tracks. He turned to stare at Luna coldly. “He was just what?“
Luna fell silent for a moment, then let out an exhale and said, “If what my brother said made you uncomfortable just now, then I apologize on his behalf.“
With that, she stared straight at Malcolm and continued, “But I have something to ask you.“
Malcolm raised his eyebrows. “Say it.”
“Have you ever…sent assassins to kill Joshua when he was hurt?“
This was the question that Luna had been thinking of the entire night. She had considered plenty of reasons Malcolm would want Joshua to be killed, but she would convince herself otherwise every time.
She kept feeling that this man who had saved her six years ago, helped her undergo plastic surgery, and took care of her three children for six years…could not possibly have tried to kill Joshua over a menial matter.
Therefore, she wanted to hear Malcolm admit this himself.
Malcolm’s lips curled into a small smile when faced with Luna’s searching gaze. “I did.“
Luna felt her chest tighten. There was a buzzing in her head, and for some reason, her voice sounded further away as she asked, “Why… Why?“ “Why?“ Malcolm raised his eyebrows and gazed at Luna coldly. “You know the reason better than I do, Luna. You know fully well that I’m in love with you.“
