Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1457
The elevator descended from the top floor of the hospital.
All throughout the elevator ride, Joshua held Luna close to him.
Luna remained silent as she let him hold her. However, she did not say a single word in response to what
Joshua had said.
Joshua, too, knew that Luna’s mind was probably in a jumble of emotions, so he did not force her to give
him an answer.
The elevator arrived on the first floor.
Luna slowly stepped out of the elevator as though her soul had been sucked out of her body.
What was Joshua doing here? How much did he overhear between her and Charles?
Joshua guessed that Luna must not have been in a mood to talk, so he did not say a word throughout
the car ride back to Tea Cottage.
The two of them sat in the backseat in silence, gazing blankly at the passing view.
The air between them was eerily silent.
Never had they imagined that…one of them was a Lynch, and the other was a Landry.
Mortal enemies.
The Landry family had murdered Granny Lynch’s daughter, Lucy, while the Lynch family killed Charles ‘
brother, Colin.
These two people’s lives were entwined with numerous acts of vengeance and saboteur that almost led
to Landry and Lynch Group’s bankruptcies.
On top of that, with Granny Lynch’s death added into the mix…
Many, many years of hatred and hostility. The car soon arrived at Tea Cottage.
As soon as the car stopped, Luna pushed open the door. Just as she was about to close the door behind
her, Joshua frowned and called out, “Luna.“
Luna lifted her head in response.
“The reason I came to Merchant City is to bring you
home so that I can give you a proper wedding and the three children a home. Please don’t disappoint
us.”
Luna closed her eyes and let out a bitter chuckle but did not reply.
She turned and gently stroked her stomach out of Joshua’s view.
She, too, wanted to give this unborn baby…a home.
However, everything was leading in an entirely different direction, out of her control.
She could not change her birth parents, nor could she change the fact that she was born into the Landry
family.
Before meeting Rosalyn, Luna had thought that she would be able to keep her distance from the Landry
family, but after seeing how sad and helpless Rosalyn was…
Luna was starting to have second thoughts.
Maybe it was true that blood was thicker than water.
Perhaps it was because she and Rosalyn were too similar, and she could understand the pain she was
going through perfectly.
Not only that, but Luna was thinking of giving Rosalyn a proper goodbye, but she knew that as soon as
she returned to the Landry family, she would never be able to reconcile with Joshua ever again.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt her footsteps grow heavy. She slowly trudged into Tea Cottage,
with Joshua watching her in silence.
He could tell from her silence and how she looked that she was hesitating. He bit his lip and recalled
what Christopher had told him when he held him by his neck in the hospital.
“Actually, I have an idea that might prevent you and Luna from having to stay apart.
“If Rosalyn hadn’t fallen ill, Luna wouldn’t have agreed to visit her at all. I’m guessing that the Landry
family will use Rosalyn’s illness as an excuse to force Luna to return to their side. Therefore, if we can
cure Rosalyn before that, Luna will no longer have to return to the Landry family.
“As I said previously, there’s a cure for Rosalyn, but I’m missing a crucial ingredient called the Clinging
Root, which grows on the edge of steep cliffs. “On top of that…it’s only found in Banyan City.”
Joshua closed his eyes and suddenly felt his body grow heavy.
Christopher had shown him the photos of the Clinging Root that he needed.
Joshua had seen those plants before, at the cliff where Fiona had plummeted to her death.
He had almost died there.
Joshua fell into silence for a long time, then finally took out his phone.
