Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 284
Forget about that.
Luna closed her eyes and told herself to take it all in as a mere dream.
In her dream, he was still the Joshua she was once head over heels for.
She told herself to treat it as facing adversity for Nigel’s sake.
Luna mocked, “You already have Mrs. Lynch. Isn’t that enough?“
Joshua’s eyes darkened. Flustered yet enraged, he bit her lower lip harshly. “I was busy for the past few
days, and she’s been unavailable these few days. Are you happy with the answer?“
Luna chuckled in his ear. “So you only came to find me because she’s unavailable?“
Joshua’s eyes darkened. Wordlessly, he hugged her tightly and buried his head in her neck tiredly.
He had no answer to that question.

the version of Luna Gibson six years ago, not the present Alice.
No matter what, his reasoning told him that he had to be close to Alice sexually whenever he faced her,
but his body always resisted unconsciously.
Luna, on the other hand…
Reason told him that he could not get close to her nor have any sexual relationships with her, but he
could not control his body.
After a period of long silence, Luna took a deep breath and flatly called out his name, “Joshua.“
Joshua said nothing. The only thing that replied to her was his even, regular breathing. He fell asleep.
Like countless nights six years back, he hugged her and fell asleep, breathing her scent from her neck.
Luna sighed and carefully pried his hands apart. She got out of his arms.
The lights in the room were dim.
Under the dim lights, she watched as Joshua slept silently in exhaustion. Her eyes were filled with abhor.
He dared sleep so soundly in front of her.
There was a knife in the kitchen. As long as she picked up the knife and swiftly slashed down, she could
avenge the Luna Gibson six years ago who almost lost her and her babies’ lives.
There would be an end to the endless torture she suffered all these years.
In the end, she let out a long sigh. She took a thin blanket from her luggage and put it over Joshua.
Then, Luna got up and returned to her bedroom. Nigel was not cured yet.
Joshua could not just die like that.
That night, because Joshua slept on the sofa, Luna did not sleep well.
Joshua, on the other hand, slept all too well.
Ever since Alice returned to his side, he pretended to be busy working overtime to avoid some issues.
With that, he never slept soundly for the past few nights.

The next morning, Joshua was woken up from his sweet dreams by the ringing of his phone.
On the other end of the call was Alice who sounded aggrieved, “Joshua, where were you last night?“
Joshua stretched lazily on the sofa. “What’s going on?“
“I ‘ve been looking for you for the entire night. You weren’t in your study nor in the guest room. I thought
you might be working late at the office, so I rushed over to the office in the middle of the night, but you
weren’t there either. Where did you go?“
Joshua did not answer her question. “Is there anything?“
“Hmm.“ Alice sniffled once or twice aggrievedly. “ Have a look at the internet. Didn’t you say that as long
as all the news defaming Luna on the internet is removed, Luna won’t make the surveillance video
public? Someone posted the surveillance footage of the art gallery that day anonymously around ten last
night! The PR company I found couldn’t get rid of the video. It’s now getting more than three times the
views of yesterday’s story! “
Alice sobbed a little at the other end of the call. “ Everyone is berating me now! Joshua, what should I
do?“
