Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1564
Just as Charles and Jim were busy talking, Charles’phone rang.
It was a call from Malcolm.
Charles picked up the call, frowning.
A gentle woman’s voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Father, it’s Heather.
“It’s getting late now, and Malcolm has asked me to get some rest, but I’m worried about Luna. Has she given birth yet? Is it a boy or a girl? Could it be multiple babies, like her last pregnancy?”
For a moment, Charles did not know how to answer Heather’s questions. He fell silent for a moment and finally replied, “Luna’s child…”
Seeing how reluctant he was to tell the truth, Jim immediately snatched the phone away and said curtly, “Luna’s child isn’t as fortunate as yours, and it passed away.”
On the other end of the line, Heather curled her lips into a smile.
Of course she knew that Luna’s child had passed away She had planned this since the start.
Even though she was smiling, Heather still feigned sadness and said, “Goodness… What a pity. I had thought fate had wanted both her and my children to be born on the same day, and maybe in the future, they can have an arranged marriage— “
Jim chuckled and interjected, “Luna’s baby is also a girl, so I don’t think that’ll be possible at all. They cou1d’ve both become sisters, though. It’s just that…
Jim’s tone changed as he continued, “As long as they don’t become sisters who sabotage each other, that’ll be great.”
It was clear that he was hinting at something else, but Heather pretended not to have understood him. ” You have a great sense of humor, Jim.”
With that, she let out an exhale and added, “Well, it’s getting late now, and Malcolm is insisting that I get some rest, so I’ll go to bed now.
“Help me pass on a message to Luna and give her my condolences.
“Of course, she’s still young, and she can always have other children in the future. After all, she’s so good at getting pregnant. I’m sure she can do it again.
“It’s just that maybe next time, she has to be better at choosing the child’s father.”
With that, she hung up the phone without even waiting for Jim’s response.
Jim handed the phone back to Charles with a sneer.
Charles had only heard Jim’s end of the conversation and did not manage to overhear what Heather had said. He could not help complaining, “Heather has called to ask about Luna’s situation out of concern for her sister, so why did you have to say such terrible things to her?”
Jim snickered. “Well, I still did it, so are you going to beat me up for that?”
Charles’ eyes widened in rage. “You— “
However, the tall, lean man before him ignored his anger entirely and instead waved his hands dismissively. “Well, I’ll go and spend some time with Mother now.”
Initially, when Jim had arranged for Luna to stay here, he had brought Rosalyn over as well, and at this moment, Rosalyn was lying in the room next to Luna’s.
He had hoped that Luna would be able to talk to Rosalyn if she was bored. This mother-and- daughter pair had been separated for more than zo years, and with Rosalyn in a vegetative state, he thought it would be good if the two of them could spend some more time together.
However, he never expected that Rosalyn would be able to hear everything that happened to Luna…
He wondered if Rosalyn was still capable of thought, if she could feel the pain and sorrow her daughter was going through.
As soon as he pushed the door open, Jim caught sight of the tear stains on Rosalyn ‘s pillow. He let out a sigh and clutched Rosalyn’s hand. “You still overheard everything, and you can feel her pain, can’t you? If you really care for Luna, then please wake up soon…”
As soon as he finished his sentence, outside of his visual field, Rosalyn’s fingers twitched.
