Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1561
Charles was here?
Joshua raised his eyebrows in surprise. He had yet to track Charles down, but this man had already appeared right on his doorstep.
Joshua held Luna close to him and curled his lips into a cold sneer. “Let him in.”
Jim frowned, glancing at the woman in Joshua’s arms, and said in a low voice, “If you want to give that old man a piece of your mind or even beat him up, I have no objection to that. After all, what he did was indeed unacceptable, but I suggest that you let Luna get some rest.
“She has just lost a child, and she must be heartbroken now. if you get into a conflict with her father right in front of her right now, it wouldn’t be good for her.”
Joshua paused and glanced at Luna, then let out a deep sigh and gingerly removed the dead baby from her arms.
However, as soon as he removed the baby, Luna snatched it back from him like a deranged woman having been put under a spell. “No! Don’t take my child away from me! My child!”
When he saw the disoriented look in her eyes, Joshua felt as though there were multiple knives churning in his heart.
He turned and glanced at Lucas.
Lucas murmured in reply, then quickly found a clean sheet and ordered a maid to fold it into a baby’s swaddle.
After countless coaxing from Joshua, Luna finally let go of the soiled corpse and returned to her bed, clutching the clean swaddle that the maid had made for her.
“My baby, let’s go to bed now…” She closed her tear- stained eyes as she held the empty swaddle close to her.
Joshua remained motionless and turned his head away when he saw the look of sorrow in her eyes.
Even though Luna behaved as though she had gone mad, Joshua could still tell that her gaze was as clear as always.
She had not gone insane at all. It was just that…
Luna was too devastated by this news that she could only use this way to express her emotions.
Joshua let out a sigh, lowered his head to glance at the dirty corpse in his arms, then handed it to Lucas. “Clean him up and change him into a set of nice clothes… Tomorrow, I ‘ll bring Luna along to bury him.”
Lucas nodded, his gaze lowered, and left with the baby.
Joshua let out an exhale, took off his jacket, and removed the stains from his jacket. Then, he changed into a clean set of clothes and lifted his
head to glance at Jim. “Let’s go.”
The two men walked to the sitting room.
Inside the sitting room, Charles was pacing around nervously as he asked the accompanying servant, ” How could the child just die like that? Wasn’t it perfectly fine a few days before and even kept
kicking her belly? How could it be gone just like that? “How’s Luna doing now? Did she cry or get upset?”
“Do you really care whether she cried or got upset, Mr. Landry?” a cold male voice rang out from the door as soon as Charles finished his sentence.
Charles furrowed his brows and turned to glance in the direction of the voice.
Joshua, dressed entirely in black, was standing at the door with a dark expression.
All of a sudden, a crack of lightning split through the sky, illuminating Joshua’s face with a harsh, blinding light that made him look like a devil that had come straight from hell.
A pale—faced Charles took a small step backward.
Joshua entered the door, snickering. “What are you so afraid of, Mr. Landry? Am I a beast that will eat you up?”
He brushed past Charles and turned to sit down in a nearby chair. Then, he elegantly poured himself a cup of tea as he stared coldly at the man before him. ” I heard that your precious daughter Heather gave birth to a daughter. You should be celebrating now, so why did you come all the way here, Mr. Landry? ” Charles furrowed his brows when he heard this.
