Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 933
Christian climbed into the passenger seat of Joshua’s car with a racing heart.
“Uncle Joshua, please let me explain…“
The moment he entered the car, the depressing atmosphere made him purse his lips unconsciously. He opened his mouth anxiously and said, “It’s not what you think! I didn’t come here so late at night for that! I came here to…to bid…goodbye to Luna and the two children! “
Christian finally found a suitable excuse and explanation after stuttering for a long while.
“That’s right, I came here to bid them goodbye! Because Luna said that she’ll be leaving Banyan City with the children after the competition. I knew I wouldn’t be seeing her again for the rest of my life after she leaves, so…I came to bid them farewell.“
The air that radiated from the man sitting in the backseat turned colder and colder, heavier and heavier.
Christian could not help but shiver. He cleared his throat. “Joshua, I really just came here to bid them goodbye…I…“
Joshua turned and looked out the window. In the Blue Bay Villa, the lights in the living room were extinguished and the window to the children’s room upstairs lit up.
From a distance, he could even see Luna’s figure holding Nellie in one arm and Nigel’s hand in the other as she led the two children into the room.
His eyes darkened slightly as he said slowly, his voice hoarse, “When are they leaving?“
“I really just came here to bid them goodbye, nothing else…huh?“
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of danger and coldness seeping into his deep voice. “I’m asking you, when are they leaving?“
Christian was stunned. He never expected that Joshua would not lose his temper at him but instead would ask him such a seemingly inconsequential question. But answering this question was obviously easier than explaining the relationship between Luna and himself.
He hurriedly coughed and answered, “Luna said…she still has some matters to resolve with Bonnie.
They’ll leave after the issues are settled, I don’t think it’ll take a long time, a week at most.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly.
A week’s time… He remembered how he treated Luna when they were on the hospital rooftop…and how he left her all alone on the rooftop because he was worried about Fiona…
He sighed; his voice so low that it could barely be heard. He was such a jerk. He knew they did not have much time to spend together, but still, he always
lost control of his emotions and ended up doing things that hurt her.
“Uncle Joshua.“
Seeing Joshua immersed in his thoughts, Christian sighed and piled a smile on his face as he looked at Joshua sitting in the backseat through the rear-view mirror. ”I know you definitely don’t want to leave Luna and the two kids. Let’s do this then, in the remaining few days, as long as you need my help, I’ll bend over backward to help you.”
Joshua recovered himself and glanced faintly at the man sitting in the passenger seat. ”You were in the Blue Bay Villa for two whole hours. You must have talked about more than just bidding each other goodbye, right?”
Christian paused. ”We did…talk about other matters.” Joshua looked at him with cold eyes.
This man’s aura was too strong. Even if he did not say a single word, Christian still felt as if there was a huge mountain pressing down on him from above. Under the cold, dominating pressure that was as stifling as Mount Everest, Christian licked his lips. ” We also talked…about Fiona.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes. ”What about her?”
Christian’s palms were drenched in sweat. But still, he mustered his courage and opened his mouth. ” Luna said she knew that Fiona has a terminal illness, but she thinks Fiona is just faking it, so she wants to investigate whether Fiona is indeed terminally ill. As a…as a way of repaying you for your help during this past month or so.”
After finishing his little speech, Christian could obviously feel his shirt sticking to his body, drenched in nervous, cold sweat. This was not his first time telling a lie, but it was the most stressful lie he had ever told.
Joshua narrowed his eyes at the other man’s words and swept his eyes at him dangerously. “Luna really said that?”
Christian nodded, his voice was slightly hoarse from his nerves. “Yes…I told you, Luna said she still has some issues to deal with, she’ll leave after these matters are resolved. The thing she needs to do is…”
