Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 766
“How are you planning to take care of this?“
Joshua paused for a moment, then answered in a low voice, “I ‘ll go over tonight. “ With that, he hung up the phone.
Fiona wriggled into his arms and asked, “What’s wrong, Joshua?“
“Nothing.“ Joshua let out a sigh and gently patted her head. “I have some stuff to take care of tonight, so you’ll have to eat dinner by yourself. How does that sound?“
Fiona bit down on her lip and stared at Joshua with her dark eyes. “What’s so urgent that you have to take care of it tonight? I think I heard you say something about a party… Can you bring me along with you?“
Fiona then continued, her eyes glimmering with sorrow, “I ‘m new to Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone here. I ‘m just hoping to get to know a few people. Otherwise…“
She lowered her head and said in a rueful tone, “It’ll just feel like I ‘m stuck in a hospital again, all alone with no one by my side.“
Joshua let out a sigh. “Fiona, I’ve already allowed you to come work at Lynch Group, but I can’t let you do the same for this party. There will be many people there, and I wouldn’t want it to affect your psychological and physical health. Stay at home, okay?“
Tears welled up in Fiona’s eyes as soon as she heard this. “You don’t want to bring me, do you?“
She did not manage to catch much of the phone call he had, but she still heard the person on the other end of the line mention Luna’s name.
If whatever happened at this party would affect Joshua and Luna, she had to go, too!
Seeing the tear-streaks on Fiona’s face, Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration. He was not good at reassuring people, much less women.
In the past, when he was still with Luna, she was a very understanding woman and did not require him to take care of her feelings at all. Therefore, he thought this was what all relationships were supposed to be like.
However, ever since he started dating Fiona…he felt nothing but frustration.
“Come on, Joshua, let me come with you. Please?“ Fiona, still holding his arm, gently swayed it in persuasion. “I promise I’ll keep my emotions in check and won’t let anything happen!
“If you let me go tonight and something bad happens to me, I won’t make any requests like this in the future anymore. How does that sound?“
Joshua let out an exasperated sigh. He had no choice but to give in to Fiona in the face of her persuasion.
However, he knew all too well that he should not have brought Fiona along with him to the party.
As soon as Bonnie and Luna left the office, they spent two hours doing their hair and changing into their dresses.
After two hours of waiting, Luna reappeared in front of Bonnie and Shannon, looking as stunning as a goddess. Her dark, glossy hair was splayed over her back, and she wore a sapphire-blue, satin dress that made her look like a mysterious yet elegant flower in bloom.
Shannon gasped. “Director Luna, you’re so beautiful, and you have a killer body… How can Fiona even compete with you?“
She thought that President Lynch was probably out of his mind, having given up such a gorgeous woman like Luna for Fiona.
Bonnie gazed at Luna with a satisfied look. “You’re so much more beautiful than I thought.“
She had known since the start that Luna was attractive. However, because she was constantly engrossed in work, Luna rarely wore makeup or classy dresses like this. Therefore, she never had the chance to display this elegant, sophisticated side of her. Bonnie approached Luna and grabbed hold of her hand. “My dear, I want to let you become the most charming woman in Banyan City tonight! “
