Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1573
As soon as she said this, Charles suddenly realized that he had no way of answering Luna’s questions.
He turned his head away, refusing to meet Luna’s clear, sharp gaze.
Charles raised his clenched fists and let out a slight cough. He stared at the scenery in the yard, tilting his head away from Luna, and said slowly, “Luna, I know you are still absorbed in the grief of losing your baby, but your child’s death has nothing to do with Heather at all.
“Heather’s intention of bringing the child over to visit you and Mother was out of kindness..”
With that, he turned to stare at Luna. “The way you and your friend treated her, as well as how you pushed the servant holding Riley. Don’t you think it was hurtful to do so.”
“Was it?” Luna turned around, sat down underneath the umbrella, and started eating her breakfast with Gwen. ” Well, if you think it was hurtful of me to do so, then don’t you think what she did hurt me as well?”
Charles furrowed his brows and replied, “Luna, if you think of this from her point of view, you’ll realize that she didn’t mean any harm at all…”
Luna scoffed. “Then has anyone ever thought of this from my point of view? Have you?”
Charles froze.
He did not expect that not only did Luna manage to get over her grief in a month, but had even become so snarky.
Perhaps she had always been this snarky, but she had never shown this side of her to anyone from the Landry family at all.
Charles’ mind was a little confused, and for a moment, he did not know what to say.
Suddenly, his gaze landed on the trash can next to him.
Inside the trash can lay the gold-laminated invitation cards Heather had brought.
These were the invitations to Heather and Malcolm’s wedding.
Charles let out an exhale, strode over, and took out the invitation cards from the trash can.
Thankfully, there was not much garbage in the trash can, so the invitation cards were still clean.
After wiping the invitation cards clean with his sleeve, Charles gently placed them on Luna’s table and said, ” Since you’ve already gotten over your grief…you should attend Heather and Malcolm’s wedding in three days.
“As a member of the Landry family, and considering that you had previously been engaged to Malcolm…
“If you don’t go, the public will think that some inner conflict happened among us, and this will cause unwanted trouble.”
Luna took a sip of milk from her glass, a contemptuous smile playing on her lips. She glanced in the direction Heather had left with the baby and said, smirking, “Do you think we’ve always been a harmonious family, Mr. Landry?”
The color drained from Charles’ face.
Even though he did not reply, it was clear what his answer was.
Luna lowered her head and gently stirred her oatmeal with a spoon. “If we have never been harmonious since the start, why are we worried about the public gossiping about this?”
She curled her lips into a smirk and continued without even lifting her head, “I don’t like sugarcoating things, and neither do I like pretending.
“I won’t go to their wedding.”
Charles narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. “Luna!”
He glared at the cool-faced woman before him and snapped, “You’ve been staying here for almost a year, looking after your body and taking no notice of what is going on within our family.
“Do you know that during this time, Landry Group has been attacked by Lynch Group so frequently that we have no other choice to survive apart from collaborating with the Quinn Group? We have to work together to fight this monstrosity named Joshua Lynch!
“All this time, I knew that you were pregnant and that the baby in your belly was of special identity, so I didn’t force you to do anything for our family, but what about Heather?
“She was pregnant as well, but she still stood by my side at the Landry Group’s worst and helped me take care of things despite being heavily pregnant.
“You and she are different, but even then, I never once complained or blamed you for this.”
