Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 259
It was surveillance footage of Alice trying to frame her! The camera had caught everything from an excellent angle with Alice’s face in full view and even managed to record the sound.
Luna stared at her computer screen dazedly before she suddenly recalled what Theo had said earlier.
‘I display knock-offs of my own artwork and place them in surveillance camera blind spots. However, these paintings have cameras embedded inside them
“Luna, Luna! “
The next morning, Luna was woken up by Anne’s continuous knocking. She rubbed her eyes and crawled out of bed. “What’s wrong?“
Last night, as soon as she finished watching the footage, Luna sent the video to Nigel. Nigel had called her in an attempt to console her, and the phone call had lasted a few hours. As a result, Luna had gone to sleep at 2 a.m.
She was woken up at 7 a.m.
“Someone’s here for you! It’s a guy called Theo. He says he’s here to have breakfast with you and drive you to work! “
Luna immediately jolted awake and leaped off the bed. “Theo?“
“Yeah, “ replied Anne from the other side of the door. “I think he’s an artist or something.“
Luna quickly washed up and groomed herself. When she finally emerged from her room, Theo, in all white, sat on the couch as he talked with John. When he caught sight of Luna, Theo smiled and stood up. “ Good morning.“
“Good morning,“ muttered Luna, somewhat embarrassed.
Her lateness did not seem to bother him, however. He glanced at his watch. “If I remember correctly, the Lynch Group’s punch-in time is 8:30 am. It’s 7:20 am now, and the Lynch Group Tower is about thirty minutes away, which gives us forty minutes left to have breakfast together.“
As soon as he finished, Theo stood up in a graceful motion. “Come on, let’s go.“
Luna hesitated, but after a moment, she bade Anne farewell and followed him.
A while later, they were seated at a café near the Lynch Group Tower. Luna sipped her oatmeal and said to Theo, “I had no idea you were going to pick me up for work…“ She gave him an awkward smile. “I just…“
“You don’t think our relationship is at that stage yet? “ The corners of Theo’s mouth turned up in a gentle smile. “It’s okay. You’ll get used to this soon.“
Luna pondered for a moment before she looked up at him solemnly. “I have a fiancé.“
Theo chuckled. “What does me trying to get to know you have anything to do with your fiancé?”
Luna was dumbstruck at his response. Not knowing what else to say, she continued eating her breakfast instead.
”Your friend and her boyfriend have a really good thing going, ” said Theo nonchalantly. ”He mentioned to me that you went home last night, but you left the food in front of the door and left. It must be inconvenient having her boyfriend hanging around all the time, isn’t it?”
Luna kept silent, but she nodded after a moment. She had been considering moving out to live on her own since the house that had burnt down obviously could not be inhabited anymore. Besides, it would not be easy trying to get pregnant with Joshua’s child. Luna knew she could not stay with Anne and b e a third-wheel forever.
Theo took out a pamphlet from his bag and handed it to her. ”I’ve been living here for quite a while now—it’s a pretty good place. Why don’t you take a look at this? If you like it, we can be neighbors.”
Luna flipped through the pamphlet. Theo was right; it looked like an excellent good place to live. The location was strategic, just a stone’s throw away
from both the Lynch Group Tower and Blue Bay Villa, and the facilities looked superb. The rent was a little above average, but Luna had enough savings.
”Thank you, I ’11 consider it.” She thanked Theo and slipped the pamphlet into her handbag. However, just as she lifted her gaze, she caught sight of the two people coining in through the entrance.
Luna rolled her eyes. ‘What an unfortunate coincidence, ‘ she thought. She did not expect to run into Joshua and Alice on a breakfast date like this.
Theo saw that she was gazing in the direction of the café entrance and turned around. He chuckled and waved at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, fancy running into you here.” Joshua was busy ordering with Alice at the counter, so he did not even notice Theo or Luna.
