Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 732
Before Shannon could finish her sentence, Luna interrupted her. “You’re right. My son is sick, I need money. “ With that, she hung up immediately, while Shannon remained dumbfounded. Lowering her phone, Luna sucked in a deep breath and walked to the balcony.
The rain had finally stopped, a rainbow arched across the clouds whilst the earthy smell of wet soil and freshly-cut grass permeated the air.
Luna closed her eyes, feeling the pulse of life in the air, and breathed out a long sigh. For Neil, she had put up with Joshua through so much and for so long. Half a month more was nothing.
Orchard Manor.
The moment Joshua parked his car and before he could step out, his phone rang beside him. It was from Lucas.
“Sir, everything has been arranged according to your orders. The doctor has already told Ma’am that you will not be paying the rest of the medical bill, and the company has confirmed that Luna will continue working at the Lynch Group. She’ll be returning tomorrow.“
Joshua hummed softly in acknowledgment, then stepped out of the car, explaining the following arrangements to Lucas on the way.
The heavy rain had stopped. In Orchard Manor, the lush green trees that were landscaped by Luna shone in the sunlight, the light reflecting off the remaining raindrops that clung to the leaves.
In the sea of green, Fiona stood, wearing a long, white linen dress. She cocked her head to the side and smiled in Joshua’s direction. “You’re back, and the rain has stopped too.“ Her smile looked particularly alluring amidst the sea of deep green.
Joshua frowned slightly, ended the call, and strode toward her.
Seeing him come to a standstill before her, she fiddled with the edge of her skirt and asked shyly, “ Can I hug you?“
He narrowed his eyes so slightly the action could barely be seen, then nodded.
Her soft body encircled his. He put his arms around her in a routine reply. But the image that appeared before his eyes was of Luna whom he had just met at Blue Bay Villa moments ago.
“Joshua, do you still remember that your child is sick and needs treatment? Two of your children just passed away, now you have two left. One of them is critically ill with no cure in sight, while the other is mentally ill! And yet you still have the time to embark on a new relationship at a time like this?“
Her look of furious anger seemed to be imprinted in his mind.
“Joshua.“ As if she could feel the ice in his heart, Fiona released him after a few short moments. “I just arrived in Banyan City, so I’m not familiar with
the area. Since you can’t be accompanying me all the time, I’d feel bored. Why not…“
She raised her head and looked at Joshua’s cold, hard face, “Why not, I start working at the Lynch Group?“
Joshua frowned, then lowered his head and ruffled her hair gently. “You’re still sick and you’ll be faced with a heavy workload if you work at the Lynch Group, I’m worried you won’t be able to handle it.“
Fiona bit her lip, “I won’t take on a tough position, I’ll just do odd jobs around the office, I’ll be an intern! I just want to belong somewhere; I’ll try my best not to cause trouble! “
As she spoke, she reached out and held onto Joshua’s arm, tugging on it gently. “Please say yes, please? Otherwise, I’ll be here all alone every day while you work, I’d be bored out of my mind! “
Joshua remained silent for a while. A moment later, he lowered his head and laughed softly, “That’s fine, then. But the Lynch Group has many different subsidiaries and various departments…which one would you like to join? Any one?“
The woman’s eyes lit up. “Can I go to the jewelry design department?“ If she remembered correctly, Luna worked at the jewelry design department at the Lynch Group, right?“
