Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy Chapter 2399
Chapter 2399
Thomas curled his lips into a smile and swept his glance over Nellie. "I, too, hope to have a
daughter of my own, but unfortunately, circumstances won't allow me to, so..."
He propped his chin up with one hand and fixed his gaze on Luna's face. "I was hoping I
could get to know Nellie better during our contract period, Ms. Luna. Don't worry; as soon as
our contract is over, I'll get out of both you and your daughter's lives, and I promise not to
get in touch again in the future."
Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this.
She was unfamiliar with Thomas Howard's background, and if she had known that he

Even though having such a famous celebrity become an ambassador for her products would truly be the honor of a
lifetime, she would not use her daughter as leverage!
At the thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and stood up. "I'm sorry, Mr. Howard, but my daughter is the apple of
both me and my husband’s eye. I'm sorry to say that our relationship, Mr. Howard, is only that of business in nature,
and I'll never use my daughter as a bargaining chip for your cooperation."
With that, she grabbed hold of Nellie's hand and turned to leave.
However, they had just taken two steps when all of a sudden, Nellie drew her hand out of Luna's grasp and turned
to stare at Thomas with wide, innocent eyes. "Sir, you said you liked me,
but can you tell me what it is that you like about me? Is there anything particular that makes you want to get to
know me better?"
Thomas'expression darkened at the sound of Nellie's sugary sweet voice. He looked back at her through narrowed
eyes but did not reply.
Luna was startled by Nellie's impulsive behavior. She quickly stormed forward to pull the little girl back into her
arms. "Nellie!"
Nellie had already promised her before coming here that she would listen to her every command, so why did she
suddenly break free and say such things to Thomas Howard?
"Why can't you answer me, Mr. Howard?" Nellie cocked her head innocently, blinking. "The truth is, I wasn't the
reason you wanted to work with my Mommy, am I right?
"That was just an excuse you came up with on the spot."
Even though her voice was soft and childlike, the words that came out of her mouth were
oddly sharp. "When I entered the door just now, you had just glanced at me without even a
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmhint of adoration in your eyes. Xou claimed that you liked me and wished I could be your
daughter, but when you were talking to Mommy, you kept staring at her and didn't even
glance at me.
"If you truly liked me and wanted to get to know me better, you would've been staring at me
all this while."
Finally, Nellie let out a sigh and added, "Therefore, you probably have other reasons for
wanting to work with my Mommy, but you didn't want to come clean with us, so you decided
to use me as an excuse!"
The entire room fell silent.
After a long time, the sound of clapping echoed through the air.
As he raised his slender, bony hands in applause, Thomas glanced impassively at Luna and
said with a sneer, "I never thought a seven-year-old would be more observant than you, Ms.
Luna."
