Semua Bab Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy: Bab 261 - Bab 270

Alice rolled her eyes. What was there to feel accomplished about in making breakfast?Just as Alice was about to retort, however, she caught sight of the way Joshua stared at Luna. Alarm bells immediately rang in her head. Luna must have said that on purpose!Alice smiled. “I used to think that way. Although it’s a small action, making breakfast for my family gave me the greatest sense of fulfillment ever.” She let out a sigh before she continued wistfully, “Unfortunately… I discovered that I couldn’t even protect the people I love. I was such a failure. Ever since then, no matter what I did, I couldn’t feel accomplished or fulfilled anymore.”Upon hearing these words, Joshua immediately turned his attention back to her. She was right. Joshua knew that he could not even begin to imagine what Alice had gone through in these six years apart. Although she had changed and she was no longer the woman he fell in love with, Joshua felt that he should not have doubted her, much less foole

8:29am. Luna stepped foot in the design department with a minute to spare.As soon as she entered, Shannon winked at her. “Someone’s waiting for you in your office. He’s been waiting for a while now.”Luna furrowed her brows in confusion and pushed the door open. Joshua’s lean and slender body perched on her office chair, his gaze focused on the drafts and sketches strewn all over her desk.When he heard her coming in, Joshua glanced at the time and snickered. “Came to the office with only one minute to spare. How obsessed are you with that man?” Luna paused before she offered a polite smile. She strode to Joshua’s side and snatched the draft he was holding. “Firstly, I wasn’t late. Secondly, I didn’t break any company policies. Besides, who I choose to befriend and have breakfast with is my personal business, right, Mr. Lynch?” Joshua could not help but frown at Luna’s harsh attitude. “What did I tell you last night? I told you he can’t be trusted, and you should stay away from

“How did you know I was working late tonight?” asked Luna as she munched on the food Theo had brought for her.Theo chuckled. “What if I told you I’d been waiting for you outside since 5pm?”Luna almost choked on her food. “Really?”“Of course not, silly.” Theo leaned against the chair and stretched. “When I was at your friend’s place this morning, I asked for her number, too. I called her just now, and she told me you weren’t home yet, so I guessed that you were probably still working.”Luna felt relieved upon hearing Theo’s explanation. Otherwise, she did not know how to react if Theo had indeed waited for her for more than three hours.She stuffed the rest of the food into her mouth as quickly as she could. “Let’s go.”Theo chuckled again and helped her clean up the food containers. “Let’s go. The landlord is waiting for us.”Luna nodded and followed him out of the office. Joshua had been watching everything from his position in a dark corner of the office with none of them k

As soon as Alice started crying, Joshua could not help but feel sorry for her. He sighed and pulled her into his arms. “No, please don’t think that. I’m just…really busy with work lately.”He lifted his head to wipe away the tears from under her eyes. “It’s okay. I’m home now.”With her head down, a triumphant glint flashed across Alice’s eyes. She nodded meekly and said, “That’s okay. If you’re busy, you should do work. All I needed to know is that you don’t hate the kids or me, that’s all.”Joshua gently patted her back to comfort her. “How could I hate you?” He let go of Alice and bent down to hoist Nellie into his arms. “Come on, let’s eat.”“Okay!” Alice replied. She watched as Joshua headed to the dining room with Nellie in his arms before she turned around to glower at Neil. “You recorded me? You’re not so stupid after all.”Neil grinned at her. “Well, I learned from the best, though you managed to outsmart us in the end. I guess I underestimated you.” With that, he turne

Neil glanced at Joshua with a puzzled look. “I thought you told us not to contact her.”Joshua sneered. “Since when do you even listen to me? Do you think I never noticed the new signal-jamming device you placed in the house?”Neil immediately lowered his head in shame. When Luna got released from jail, Joshua had ordered them not to contact her and even warned them that he would be able to track their cellular signals to detect if they talked to her behind his back. Neil had no choice but to ask Nigel for help and installed a signal jammer within the house. Whenever the device was switched on, the signal they used to contact their mother could not be detected. However, Neil never expected that Joshua would discover the device.“Okay, so… Shall I call her?” said Neil meekly, somewhat ashamed that his plan had been exposed. He turned around and tried to slip out of the room. “Stop.” Joshua stopped him sternly before he could leave. “You can call her right here.”Neil pulled a
