Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 861
The unexpected voice startled Christian.
What was… Why was Joshua the one who answered Fiona’s phone?
Christian almost dropped his phone on the ground. He let out an awkward cough and said, “Joshua, I— “
“I told you to repeat what you just said! “ Joshua’s stern voice interrupted Christian before he could even
finish.
Christian suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing out of anger…
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, “I just came out from Luna’s office… She found out about you
and Fiona’s discussion of having children together, right in front of Neil’s grave. She’s so upset by this
that she didn’t even eat lunch. Instead, she’s holed up in her office, crying.“
Since there was no point hiding the truth anymore, Christian chose to paint an even more intense picture
of Luna’s sadness. “This is the first time I ever saw Luna cry so hard. She couldn’t even catch her
breath… I was so angry that I called Fiona immediately…“

upsetting this is?“
Joshua felt the veins on his forehead throb as soon as he heard this. He furrowed his brows and said, “I
know now.“
With that, he hung up the phone.
As soon as he put the phone down, Joshua glanced in the direction of the bathroom—where Fiona was
taking her shower—and narrowed his eyes.
He and Fiona were the only two people at Neil’s grave this morning. Therefore, there was no other
person who would spread lies like this to Luna.
Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration and leaned against the sofa, exhausted. He decided to wait for
Fiona to come out of the shower.
After a short while, Fiona emerged with a towel wrapped around her dripping body.
She immediately made her way to Joshua with a coy expression and gently pressed her soft, silky skin
against Joshua’s arm. “Joshua, did my phone ring just now?“
“Yes. “ Joshua closed his eyes and did not even give her a second glance. “It was Christian.“
“Didn’t he go back to his hometown already?“ Fiona smiled and extended her hand to touch Joshua’s
face, but Joshua stopped her before she could do so.
He held her wrist in his hand and pinned her between the sofa and his own body.
This position seemed a little intimate, so Fiona blushed scarlet immediately. She placed her hands
against Joshua’s chest, feigning shyness, and said coyly, “Joshua… Don’t… We’re in the living room,
and it’s broad daylight now… Let’s go back to the bedroom…“
Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard her words, and a hint of contempt flashed through his
eyes.
He placed his hand on Fiona’s chin. His dark eyes, which were as black as obsidians, were laced with
disdain as he said, “Do you know what Christian called to tell me?“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe look on his face made Fiona feel as though someone had tossed her into a body of ice-cold water.
She froze, then stared at Joshua in alarm. Did he…
Terror engulfed her entire being, an intense fear that she had never experienced before.
She bit on her lip. “Joshua, I…“
“I told you that I’ll provide you all the protection and support you need, and I’m also willing to be with you
until the end of your life, but my only condition is that you don’t cause me any trouble.
“You deliberately brought up having children in front of Neil’s grave and afterward even told Luna that we
talked about having children right there… What is your end goal? To make Luna hate me, or to make the
children hate me?“
Fiona froze for a moment when she heard this. Then, after a moment, she let out a sigh of relief.
Was this what Christian had called about? She thought that Christian had told Joshua the truth about her
fake illness…
