Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 445

The air in the car turned silent. Luna’s whole body stiffened.

She had not seen both Neil and Nellie for days. This was the longest time she had spent apart from them since she gave birth to them six years ago.

She missed them dearly.

From the calls they shared this morning and yesterday in the afternoon, she knew the children missed her dearly too.

The fire in her heart that was burning with excitement at the thought of meeting her children was cruelly extinguished by Alice’s cold words, instead turning cold and frosty.

Alice was doing this on purpose. She did not have any feelings for Neil and Nellie. She was just trying to get to her, to get to the children.

“Joshua?“ Noticing Joshua’s continued silence, Alice even called out to him softly.

Only then did he blink and recover his wits. He coughed slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Luna from the back as she sat in the passenger seat. “We’ll do as Alice says.“

No matter what, Alice was still their mother. Even though she had not lived with the children throughout the six years of their lives, after all, blood was thicker than water. Besides, Alice and the children were never close. This was one of the rare times she  initiated a reunion with the children, there was no reason for him to reject her.

Luna’s hands clenched into fists by her side, her nails cutting deep crescents into her palms. She bit her lip, holding on to the delusional idea that she might be able to spend some time with  her children.

“What about at night… can I have an afternoon with them…”

She wanted to hold them and hug them tightly in her arms. Cook them a sumptuous lunch and just spend an afternoon with them. This was her most humble and lowly wish as a mother.

But Alice was determined to rob her of such an opportunity.

“But I really miss the babies.” To make Joshua agree, she even used a term of endearment like ‘babies’ to describe Neil and Neillie. “Joshua, don’t tell me you don’t miss them?”
