Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1427
The next morning, when Luna woke up, she heard noises coming from the garden.
She furrowed her brows and pulled the curtains open.
Downstairs, Harvey, dressed in yet another red hoodie, had his hands on his hips while he instructed a
group of workers who were carrying bunches of roses into their designated spots, arranging the
bouquets into a heart shape.
Meanwhile, Joshua stood aside, holding a gigantic bouquet of roses and talking into his phone. He
seemed to be on a video call with Nellie.
Luna could vaguely hear the sound of Nellie’s cheers coming out of his phone.
Coincidentally, just as Luna pulled the curtains open, Joshua lifted his head to glance in her direction.
Their eyes met.
Joshua tucked his phone away and smiled at her. He was wearing a grey trench coat over a white
sweater and khaki pants. He even had on a pair of rimless glasses.

instead, it had a hint of warmth and gentleness.
Luna had never seen Joshua like this before. She stared at him for a good five seconds in shock.
Finally, she blushed and put the curtains back down.
Despite that, she could still feel his penetrating stare on her through the thick fabric of the curtains.
She was blushing, probably because of the hot morning sun.
Downstairs.
Joshua watched as Luna put down the curtains and could not help furrowing his brows. He glanced at
Harvey and asked, “Are you sure this will work? Why did she put down the curtains?“
“Mr. Lynch, you have to trust my taste. The outfit I put together for you is that of a male lead in a drama!
No woman can resist this! “
With that, Harvey let out a sigh and added, “Initially, I bought this outfit so that Mr. Landry could use it to
woo my mother back, but it’s already been so long, yet he still hasn’t managed to find my Mommy.“
Joshua curled his lips into a smile. “Why do you call your father Mr. Landry?“
This was the first time he had ever heard a child call his own father a ‘mister’.
“He used to call me Daddy,“ said Jim as he got out of the car impassively and strode toward Tea Cottage.
“ He and June grew up without their mothers, and neither of them thought there was anything wrong with
that, but a year ago, he found out that other children had mothers. Ever since that, he has been
pestering me to track down his birth mother and even claimed that he wouldn’t call me his father if I didn’t
manage to find her.“
Harvey could not help crossing his arms in front of
his chest and turning his face away when he heard this. “Well, it’s already been a year, and you have yet
to find Mommy! “
Jim shot him an impassive glance but did not reply. Instead, he walked into the villa.
Inside the villa, Bonnie was lounging on the sofa in her pajamas, having a video conference call with
Lucas. “Um… Didn’t I already send you the file yesterday? All the information is inside; you don’t have to
ask me everything! “

Lucas grew even more puzzled when he heard this. “ But Ms. Craig, about the Quinn family’s next
move…“
“What the Quinn family have been trying to do is lure you to bring Joshua back to Banyan City, so you
shouldn’t have to worry.“
Suddenly, Jim’s voice interjected Lucas and Bonnie’s conversation.
The both of them turned around simultaneously and stared at Jim, who had entered through the door in
shock.
Bonnie’s eyes widened. “You…“
Lucas fell into silence for a moment, then chuckled. “ I’ve been wondering how Ms. Craig, a woman who
grew up in Banyan City, would be so familiar with the ins and outs of Merchant City, so much so that she
was able to give us instructions on what to do.
“It turns out the man behind her back is none other than Master Quinn. I apologize.“
With that, Lucas hung up the phone.
Bonnie was still staring at Jim in shock. ”You… The person who has been contacting me and teaching
me the inner workings of Merchant City…was you?”
