Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 1231

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1231

Luna did not expect that Joshua would wake up at that particular moment. She paused, raised her eyes, and met his tired gaze.

She bit her lip. “When did you wake up?“

“Just a few moments ago.“ He lifted himself up and Luna hurriedly helped him lean back on the headboard, then handed him the glass of warm water from the bedside table.

“So you plan to ask Aura to move in with us, then make her believe that we’ve had a falling out so she has a chance?“

At her words, Joshua laughed softly as he sipped from the glass. He lowered the glass, gently grazing his thumb over her lower lip as he said, “So you agree that we’re now as close as we used to be?“

The rough pad of his thumb grazed lightly over her soft, sensitive lips, leaving her feeling slightly numb and itchy. She blushed immediately, then pulled his hand away. “When did I grow close to you again? “

He laughed lightly as he looked at her, his gaze deep and bottomless. “If we aren’t close, how can we have a falling out?“

She paused slightly at his words, only then realizing that she had misspoken. She pursed her lips, raised her eyes, and glanced at him helplessly. “What I meant was that you want her to think that we are not on good terms so she can take advantage and weasel her way in?“

He chuckled and did not continue making fun of her, merely nodding gently. “According to your reaction today, when you saw how Neil was tortured, asking Aura to move in would effectively burn the bridges between us. Of course she would think she has a chance.“

He looked straight into Luna’s eyes. “Asking her to move in, so she’ll let her guard down and focus on me is much better than her roaming around freely, constantly thinking of ways to threaten Neil into helping her.“
