“I don’t like it.“
Joshua frowned and ripped her arms off of his neck. “ I’m afraid your plan won’t work. Maybe if you asked before last night, I might’ve considered your suggestion. But after last night…“
He placed his lips beside her ear, his low voice coupled together with his hot breath flowing into her ears, “I know you’re with Malcolm Quinn. Do you think I would keep someone loyal to my opponent beside me and allow you to work against me?“
With that, he turned his head coldly and prepared to leave.
However, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes seemed to be challenging him. “Are you that insecure?“
He frowned and looked at her, saying nothing.
Her lips curved up in a smile. “I’m just a woman, you’ve run your background checks on me, you should know by now what I ‘m capable of. And yet you’re afraid I would steal your company secrets, what else is it, if you’re not insecure?“
She purposely pulled out the last word, trying to hook his slightly wavering heart.
Joshua narrowed his eyes at her and laughed. “This won’t work on me.“
He pulled her hand from his collar, and buttoned up his shirt properly. “Since you’re awake, tidy yourself up and leave. Didn’t you agree to leave after the birthday party, never to return?“
With that, he turned and left with an elegant stride of his feet.
Luna stood on the spot, looking at his retreating back and bit her lip.
A long time after he left, she finally roused herself and went into the bathroom, washed herself and walked downstairs.
In the dining room, the little girl was busy eating her cereal in her pink nightgown.
Seeing her mother, Nellie pointed at the bowl of uneaten cereal in front of her. “Come and have your breakfast.“
She paused, wiping the emotion off her face and sat down in front of her daughter with a smile. “You just woke up?“
“I’ve been up for a long time…“

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
