Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 468
By the time Luna finally woke up, it was already evening.
She could smell the faint, distinctive scent that belonged to Joshua and hear the click-clack of someone’s fingers on the keyboard.
Luna frowned and opened her eyes with some difficulty.
The first thing she saw was Joshua’s sharp and chiseled side profile. He was doing some work in the car, his laptop propped up in front of him.
He had a pair of defined eyebrows, long lashes, and perfectly shaped lips. Luna had to admit that even though Joshua was a scumbag, he was certainly a handsome one.
No wonder Alice was willing to give up her old identity and pretend to be Luna Gibson just to gain his love and affection.
Luna stared blankly at Joshua, deep in thought, when he suddenly smirked. “What are you looking at?“
His low voice made Luna jolt in shock. When she finally came to, Joshua had already turned his head around and was looking at her. “Did you get enough sleep?“
Luna froze for a moment, then nodded. “Yes, I did. “
“Four hours, “ Joshua remarked as he lowered his head to glance at his watch. He curled his lips into a smirk. “What a pig.“ With that, he closed his laptop and said, “Didn’t you say you have something to talk to me about over here?“
Luna’s mind went blank for a moment before she finally recalled that she had fallen asleep while they were on their way to Swan Lake Residences. She let out a sigh and sat up.
The jacket that was draped over her slid onto the floor. It was then she realized that Joshua had put his jacket over her while she slept.
Joshua glanced at the jacket on the floor and raised his eyebrows. Before he could say anything, however, Luna quickly picked up the jacket. “I’ll return it to you as soon as I wash it.“ Then, she hastily got out of the car.
Joshua chuckled when he saw how frantic she was and got out of the car himself. Then, they got into the elevator and ascended to Luna’s floor together.
Luna clutched Joshua’s jacket tightly in her hands while Joshua stood slightly behind her. Even though her back was facing him, Luna could still feel his penetrating gaze on her. She immediately straightened up when she realized that.
The atmosphere in the elevator was so quiet that it bordered on suffocating. Fortunately, the silence did not last too long. The elevator soon arrived at Luna’s floor.
“Luna?“ a startled voice rang out as soon as the doors opened.
Luna immediately lifted her head. Theo stood in front of the elevator and stared at her in disbelief. “ Aren’t you supposed to be in Sea City? Are you home already?”
Luna, too, seemed to be in shock. “When did you come back?“
It was Theo who had taken care of her the night she was kidnapped. She had wanted Theo to come with them when they returned to Banyan City, but he told her that he still had some stuff to take care of, so he had to remain in Sea City for a while longer.
That was only two days ago. When did he arrive in Banyan City?
“I came back this morning.“ Theo let out a cough. “ How about you? Why did you come home so soon? I heard something happened to Gwen, so I assumed you would stay in Sea City for a few more days.“
Luna paused, then glanced toward the elevator. Joshua was still there, his expression as cold and stony as always.
She smiled at Theo but did not say anything more. “ Work has been busy lately, so I came back early.“
Theo suddenly noticed that Joshua was standing behind her. He paused and said, “Well, then, if you’re busy, we can talk next time.“ With that, he circled her and entered the elevator.
The doors slid shut.
Joshua’s brows furrowed as he watched the elevator descend again. “You and Theo…haven’t stayed in touch ever since you left Sea City?“
Luna shot him a puzzled glance and fished around for her keys. “Didn’t you hear that?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. That meant that she was not up all night talking to Theo.
Did he…misunderstand her?
