Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1581
As soon as she heard this, Luna clenched her fists next to her.
She closed her eyes, feeling as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart at this moment.
She had guessed that the reason Joshua had treated Charles like this was not because of his own doing.
She knew him very well, and she understood that this man was not stupid. He would never try to kill Charles in broad daylight.
Luna guessed that Charles must have said something he should not have and did something that crossed the line to anger Joshua, but she never expected…
She never expected that Charles would use the dead baby to taunt Joshua.
Had he forgotten that this baby did not only belong to Joshua but was also hers?
Seeing that Luna was not speaking, Joshua let out a sigh. Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit it, and turned to glance at Luna and Gwen’s car. “Where are you going?”
Gwen pursed her lips and replied, “We were planning to go to the church in the eastern part of the city to pray for Luna’s mother.”
With that, she could not help shooting Joshua another glance and asked, “What about you? Judging from the direction your car is headed, I’m guessing you were coming to our place. Are you looking for Luna?”
Joshua raised his brows but did not reply.
Luna let out an exhale and turned her head away to avoid Joshua’s dark, penetrating stare. “Joshua, I’ve already told you that ever since this child passed away, you and I will not have anything to do with each other anymore. Don’t come and find—”
“Well, you say that the child was the last thing holding the two of us together.” Joshua interrupted her coldly, exhaling a smoke ring. “There’s still three days.”
Luna froze and turned to stare at him. “What?”
“There are still three days until our child would’ve turned a month old.” Joshua took another puff from his cigarette, fixating his penetrating gaze on Luna’s face in the smoke. ” There’s a tradition in Banyan City that if the child dies after birth, then we will have to visit their grave and give them a small celebration a month after their passing.
“If other child ren have this, then naturally, we should do this for our daughter too.”
With that, he tossed the cigarette on the ground and put it out with his foot. “The reason I came to find you today was to ask you if you wanted to pay a visit to her grave together in three days.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
How could she have forgotten…that the day of Heather and Malcolm’s child’s party was also the day her and Joshua’s child would turn a month old?
As soon as she thought of this baby, Luna felt as though a rock had been placed on her chest, suffocating and compressing her until it felt hard to breathe.
A split second later, she bit her lip and gazed at Joshua. ” Alright. In three days from now, you come and pick me up, and we will…
“We will give her a small celebration.”
Whatever the other children had, she and Joshua would give it to their daughter as well.
Joshua curled his lips into a small smile and replied, “Okay.”
All of a sudden, Gwen glanced at the time and reminded Luna gently, “We’re going to be late.”
Gwen had been becoming more and more superstitious lately.
A while ago, she had come across a priest who worked at the church in the eastern part of Merchant City, and she had made an appointment with the priest to pray for Rosalyn so that she would get well soon.
There was only half an hour until their stipulated meeting time with the priest, whereas it would take them 40 minutes to drive from where they were to the church.
They were going to be late.
Luna finally came to, and after bidding Joshua farewell, she got into the car.
The silver car zoomed away.
Joshua lit another cigarette and leaned against his vehicle, watching as Luna’s car grew smaller and smaller from view.
Finally, he put out his cigarette after finishing it and returned to the car.
The driver got into the car as well. “Mr. Lynch, where are we going now? Shall we go home?”
“No.” Joshua closed his eyes and leaned against the backseat.
