Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 857
Joshua could not fight the frown on his face when he heard Fiona’s words.
He lowered his head to stare at her with a hint of solemnity in his scrutinizing gaze. “Fiona, you know
your condition better than anyone else; even losing control of your emotions would make you have
difficulty breathing and get hospitalized. S*xual intercourse requires even more physical exertion than
fighting. I don’t think your body will be able to handle that at all.“
Fiona bit down on her lip and clung to Joshua’s shirt tightly. “Joshua, you haven’t even tried it yet. How
do you know I won’t be able to handle it?“
She lowered her head, and a hint of shyness flashed across her face. “What if… What if I can take it?“
It had been almost a month since she and Joshua got together, but he never attempted anything else
apart from hugging her. They had not even kissed yet, much less slept together.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe irony was, Fiona was not content with Joshua’s hugs. She wanted so much more from him.
She wanted, more than anything, to use intercourse as a means of keeping Joshua by her side, but this
man did not give her any chance to do so. Instead, he constantly used her health as an excuse to reject
her advances.
“Why don’t we try it for once?“
“No.“ Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and gently tucked Fiona’s hair behind her ear. “I wouldn’t want
you to end up in the hospital in the middle of the night due to that. I like things just the way they are now.“
Fiona bit down on her lip. Tears started to well up in her eyes.
She lifted her head to stare at Joshua and asked, “ Joshua, do you hate me? Do you not want to have a
child with me?“
Joshua let go of her and gave her a bitter smile. Then, he squatted down and placed the fruits and
snacks that Luna had brought in front of Neil’s tombstone.
“I killed two of my children—I don’t deserve to be a father again. It doesn’t matter if it’s you or other
women; I don’t wish for anyone to bear my children ever again. Besides…“
He lifted his head and raised his hand to gently stroke Neil’s photo on the tombstone. “I don’t want to talk
about having another child with you, right in front of my dead son’s grave.“
With that, he stood up and gazed at Fiona impassively. “After all, you wouldn’t want me to talk about
having children with another woman in front of your grave a year from now, would you?“
Fiona froze. She opened her mouth as if she were about to say something, but nothing came out.
“Don’t forget what you promised me. You joined Luna’s team to enter the competition with her, and you
promised me you wouldn’t cause any trouble.“ Fiona bit down on her lip and nodded. “I know.“
She could not believe that, even at this point, Joshua was still fixated on Luna and her children!
Fiona clenched her fists.

When Luna reached Lynch Group Tower, Shannon was already waiting in her office, ready to apologize.
“I’m sorry, Director Luna… I caused you so much trouble.“
Luna patted Shannon’s shoulder reassuringly. “Just remember to be careful next time. You saw it
yourself how I don’t have much of a say in front of Joshua, so if this happens again next time, I won’t be
able to help you anymore.“
Shannon nodded in reply. Then, after a moment, she suddenly remembered something and turned
around to glance at Luna. “By the way, Director Luna, do you remember Aura Gibson, President Lynch’s
ex- fiancée of five years who used to be a celebrity?“
Luna, who was busy tidying up her office, stiffened when she heard this.
