Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 471
The entire atmosphere in the room was so awkward that it bordered on suffocating.
Luna let out a sigh and glanced at Joshua. “I admit that I misunderstood you, but…“ She lifted her head
to look at him. “I don’t think it’s entirely my fault. After all, these men were once under you, weren’t they?“
Joshua nodded. “Yes, that’s true, but that’s not what I ‘m talking about, Luna. “ His gaze never wavered
from her face. “You’re Neil and Nellie’s adoptive mother. I’m glad that you care so much about them, but
you must remember that ultimately, they belong to Alice and me. Therefore, you have no right to say we
don’t deserve to be parents.“
Joshua then smirked and continued, “Take this misunderstanding, for example. I wasn’t the one who sent
these men over to protect Aura, but even if I did, what gives you and Malcolm the right to target me on
behalf of my children?“
Luna froze at that. She felt as though every joint in her body stiffened, and her blood had turned into ice.
Joshua’s words felt like sharp needles that pricked into her heart.

that, and at that moment, Joshua looked down on her.
“You have no right to say we don’t deserve to be parents.”
He was right. No one knew that Luna was Neil and Nellie’s birth mother. To everyone else, she was just
an adoptive mother who had kidnapped someone else’s children. What right did she have to criticize the
children’s birth parents?
Luna’s expression darkened, and the blood drained from her face.
Joshua could not help but frown when he saw the disappointment and sorrow on Luna’s face. He sighed
and said, ”I know you’re just worried about them, so I’ll let you off the hook for today. However, there
won’t be a next time.”
Luna closed her eyes and nodded bitterly.
Seeing how upset she was, Joshua did not feel like continuing the conversation any further. Instead, he
balled up his fist and coughed somewhat awkwardly into it. ”I’ve looked over the materials you prepared
this morning. Although you weren’t feeling well, your work was structured and well-organized.
You’re an outstanding worker. As your boss, I hope that you’ll be able to focus most of your energy on
your work for the time being.”
He lifted his head to glance at Luna. ”Neil and Nellie will be staying at Blue Bay Villa for the time being. If
you miss them, you can come over to visit.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened. She bit down on her lip and was about to say something but ultimately
decided against it. Instead, she gave him a bitter smile. ”Alright.”
There was nothing she could do about it since Joshua had made up his mind.
Even if she continued to argue with him, he still had the last word because he thought he and Alice were
Neil and Nellie’s birth parents.
Joshua never expected that Luna would agree without hesitation. He remained silent for a moment, then
stood up. “I’ve postponed your meeting today to tomorrow. Get some sleep today. I don’t want to see you
faint again in the future.“

With that, he turned and left, slamming the door behind him.
Luna sat on the sofa as she gazed at the closed door, but her mind was millions of miles away.
When he came out of Swan Lake Residences, Joshua did not go home first thing. Instead, he asked
Lucas to arrange a dinner with Adrian at the most high -end restaurant in Banyan City.
“I never thought you’d invite me out for dinner.“
When Joshua and Adrian finally met up in one of the restaurant’s private booths, Adrian seemed to be in
a good mood. He picked up the wine glass and took a small sip. “You’re finally starting to act like how a
son should.“
Joshua let out a chuckle. “Don’t patronize me.“ He tossed the photos of the bodyguards onto the table
and said, “If I remember correctly, you asked me if I could assign some of my men over to you, claiming
that you wanted them to help you take care of some stuff.“
