Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 455
Luna had no idea how Alice convinced Adrian, but at night when they were eating dinner in Blue Bay Villa, he was much calmer when he saw her.
There were no signs of his blatant fury from the afternoon, he even took the initiative and apologized to Luna.
“Ms. Luna, I acted impulsively. Alice explained the whole situation to me, I realized you were right, Hailey was the one at fault. That’s why.“
The middle-aged man looked at his palm print that was imprinted onto her cheek from his slap, and sighed deeply, “I would like to apologize. I’m sorry.“
Luna was quite shocked. Even though she did not have a good impression of him, even though he was her elder. She smiled slightly at him and allowed the issue to pass just like that.
Maybe because Sebastian and Alice had been away for too long and it so happened the whole family was present that day, the butler ordered the chef to prepare a sumptuous feast for dinner.
Adrian was fairly excited, he kept asking Joshua to drink with, downing glass after glass of alcohol. In the end, there was no one else at the table except Joshua, his father, and Alice, who took care of him from the side.
After l0 p.m. that night.
Adrian finally got prepared to leave, sufficiently
drunk on the food and wine. At that moment, Joshua was so drunk, he was barely conscious.
“He is still my son, after all, his tolerance for alcohol is much lower than mine! “ Adrian burst out
laughing and ordered his bodyguards to help him as he stumbled out of the door. He raised his eyes and glanced at Alice. “Bring him upstairs. I did what you asked.“
Alice nodded and smiled in his direction. “Thank you, Adrian.“
After he left, she laughed, satisfied that her evil plan had come to fruition and helped Joshua up the stairs.
In their bedroom.
She lay him down on the bed, then started unfastening his shirt buttons. She could not let go of this invaluable opportunity!
But unexpectedly, the moment she unfastened two of his buttons, his big hand locked onto her wrist.
His eyes were shut tight, his mind fuzzy from the alcohol but he was still exceptionally conscious of his surroundings.
“Who are you? You’re not Luna Gibson, you’re not my wife… go… away! “ He flung her hand aside. Caught off guard, she lost her balance and fell on the carpet in a heap. She lay on the carpet and gritted her teeth from the searing pain.
She could not believe it! He could not make himself sleep with her when he was sober. And now that he was dead drunk, he still rejected her!?
So she sucked in a deep breath, endured the scorching pain, dragged herself up from the floor, once again climbing on top of Joshua, her hands tearing his collar open. She was just about to kiss him when
His big hands caught her wrist deftly and flung her aside.
“Get out! “
His eyes were closed, his voice thick and hoarse from the alcohol, he sounded confused. “You’re not Luna Gibson! You’re not my wife! Stay away from me… “
Alice climbed up from the floor again. She kept her eyes trained on the drunk, flushed man on the bed. The same thing happened last time when he got drunk at the banquet in Sea City.
Even drunk, he could push her away from him deftly and refused to sleep with her. The plots shown on TV where the characters slept together in a drunken, confused mess were all fake!
Even drunk, Joshua still retained a glimmer of reason. What’s more, his senses were more acute compared to when he was sober, more honest. He could directly point out that Alice was not Luna Gibson.
She stood and looked at him, her teeth grinding so hard together they almost broke. Could it be that this time, she once again had to watch as Luna reaped the benefits of her hard work?
