Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 243
At dawn the next day, Joshua was awakened by Nellie who was lying in his arms.
The little girl poked her finger into his cheek. “ Daddy, why are you so handsome?“
Her childish ways drew a chuckle out of him. With sleep still in his eyes, he ruffled her hair softly. “ Isn’t it
nice to have a handsome Daddy?“
“Of course, it is! “ Nellie smiled, her eyes slanting upwards into little crescents, and held his face, planting
a kiss on his cheek. “You’1l1ook even better i f you can release Aunty Luna.“
At the little girl’s mention of Luna, Joshua’s gaze turned dark. He glanced at Nellie. “Do you want her to
be released so badly?“
“Yeah! “ Nellie hugged his arm. “Since I could remember, she was the one who has been taking care of
me, if she wasn’t nice to me, I wouldn’t appear in front of you, happy and healthy, am I right? She’s so

He frowned. He saw with his own two eyes how nice Luna was to Nellie. She was actually a kind woman.
But, why did she do something like that all those years ago…
The little girl’s dark eyes were trained on Joshua. “ Daddy, can you let Aunty Luna go?“
Sighing, he patted her head gently, “This isn’t something I can decide alone.“
Both him and Alice were the victims in this case. It was useless if he alone forgave Luna because the
one who was hurt the most was Alice.
“Then if Aunty Alice doesn’t want to take action anymore, will you stop too, Daddy?“ Nellie asked him,
her big eyes looking at him expectantly.
Joshua remained quiet for a long while. A second later, he nodded. “If she doesn’t want to take action
anymore, I won’t either.“
“You promised! “ With that, Nellie climbed out of bed, and flew into the bathroom to wash up.
Looking at the little girl’s retreating back, Joshua shook his head and followed her into the bathroom to
wash his face.
When he carried Nellie downstairs for breakfast, Neil and Alice were already seated at the dining table.
“Good morning, Mr. Lynch.“ Sitting on his chair, Neil raised his arm in a lazy greeting.
Joshua set Nellie down into her chair and glared at him solemnly. “Call me Daddy.“
The little guy rolled his eyes. “Isn’t it enough for Nellie to call you Daddy?“
Then, he turned and glanced at Alice. “Pretty Gibson, you agree with me, don’t you?“
Joshua sat beside Alice, his expression dark and angry. “You call your biological father Mr. Lynch and
your biological mother Pretty Gibson?“
Neil pouted. “I’11 address all of you however I like.“
“You! “
“Joshua.“ Alice frowned and interrupted him. She forced a gentle expression onto her face and glanced

In fact, she was the one who would not be able to take it if the two kids addressed her as their mother all
at once.
Joshua snorted coldly but said nothing.
The four of them started eating, each busy with their own thoughts and schemes.
After breakfast, Alice pulled Joshua onto the sofa. “I have something to say to you.“
Hearing her words, Neil wiggled his eyebrows at Nellie. The two children approached them, starting a
game of legos on the carpet in front of the sofa.
Alice rolled her eyes silently. The children were still so young and yet there was no end to their plans and
schemes. Playing their legos right in front of them, it was obvious they just wanted to eavesdrop on her
conversation with Joshua.
“What’s wrong?“ Joshua’s low voice pulled her thoughts back to the man in front of her.
She coughed softly, “I think we should let Luna off the hook.“
