Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 249
Facing the reporters with their cameras in all shapes and sizes, Luna frowned.
Why would these reporters be here at Anne’s apartment?
Only the Gibsons who were outside the police station, Joshua, Anne, and her boyfriend knew she spent the night at Anne’s apartment.
Joshua did not have to humiliate her with a scheme like this.
So this could only be Aura’s plot.
She snorted. Such a troublemaker, stirring up trouble for her the moment she was released from jail. Her sister was dedicated indeed.
With this thought, she barked out a laugh, swiped her hair back elegantly and said, “I’m sorry, but you should ask Mr. Lynch about this instead. I did announce my relationship with Mr. Lynch and his ex-wife did come home. Whether we would break up or not, and whether I will continue working at the Lynch Group, these are all Mr. Lynch’s decisions, aren’t they? Should I tell you his address?“
Her calm and collected expression, and how she turned their questions against them silenced the reporters.
“If there’s nothing important, I’m heading to work now.“
With that, she held onto the strap of her bag and walked out of the crowd of reporters elegantly.
When she left the housing area, Luna climbed into a taxi and her phone rang.
It was Joshua.
Luna hesitated for a second but answered.
“I saw the news.“ On the other end of the phone, the man’s voice remained cool and detached. “I asked Lucas to take care of it.“
She curled her lips emotionlessly. “Thank you, Mr. Lynch.“
There was a long silence from the other end of the phone.
“Last night I wanted to visit you but your friend said you were asleep.“
She turned and looked out the car window. “If you have anything to say, just tell me through the phone.“
Joshua sighed faintly, “Alice is back now, there’s no need to continue our charade. Thank you for taking care of Nellie and Neill all these years. Alice and I will take good care of them. In the future, you should… try not to see them. Children’s emotions come and go in an instant, I hope they can get along with Alice, and slowly grow to accept her as their biological mother. Your work at the Lynch Group will remain the same, but you don’t have to teach Nellie anymore, I’ll hire another teacher.“
Luna clutched her phone tightly, listening to Joshua’s arrangements on the other end, she felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
She only returned to get one of Joshua’s ‘seeds’ to cure Nigel’s disease.
But who would expect that now, by some cruel trick of destiny, she had turned into a kidnapping stepmother?
And now, she was forced to part with her children whom she had raised for six years.
She closed her eyes, remained silent for a long while, then finally laughed softly, “Alright.“
Hanging up the phone, her fingers brushed at the tears at the corners of her eyes.
When she woke up this morning, she received a long voice message that Nellie and Neil sent to her.
The children were smart and thoughtful, they were worried she would be sad, so they prepared a whole speech filled with their warm words to try and make her happy.
But the more obedient they were, the harder it was for her to control her emotions.
She was not a good mother.
It was so simple, but she messed it all up.
And even now, she could not make Aura pay for her actions.
At the office, no matter where she went, fingers pointed at her and talked about her behind her back.
She knew what they were talking about, what they were laughing about, but she did not care.
She had no choice but to stay on at the Lynch Group.
Throughout the whole day, she buried herself in her work, not giving herself any downtime to rest.
In the evening after work, Luna walked to the bus stop, exhausted.
A car rolled to a stop in front of her.
The window rolled down and exposed Aura’s smiling face. “I’m going to study abroad in Europe tomorrow, should I treat you to a cup of coffee as a goodbye?”
Luna turned, not even bothering to look at her. “I’m not interested.”
