By the time Joshua, Luna, Neil, and Nellie came out o f the kindergarten, the crowd of parents waiting outside had dispersed.
Lucas, obediently waiting outside, froze momentarily in shock when he saw the two adults and two children emerging out of the building.
‘Why are Joshua and Luna together again? They had just parted ways last night and even fought this morning.’ Lucas thought to himself, flummoxed at the sight. He could still picture the solemn look on Joshua’s face when he returned to the ward this morning. Did they somehow manage to make up in just a few hours?
Joshua hoisted Nellie into his arms and slid into the backseat.
Neil, seemingly trying to avoid Joshua, opened the passenger side door in a swift motion and sat in the front passenger seat.
Luna paused. After a moment’s hesitation, however, she opened the car door and got into the backseat. Joshua was on the left while Luna was on the right, with Nellie wedged in between them.
“Thank you, Daddy! “ Nellie gazed at her father with an awestruck look in her eyes. “I wouldn’t have lied if I had known you’d let me have fried chicken! “
Joshua squinted at her and cupped her tiny hand with his large one. “In the future, you should be
honest with me about anything you want. Don’t lie to me.”
Nellie lowered her head in shame and muttered, “
Okay…“
“Most importantly, you shouldn’t lie about getting hurt, understand?“
“Then…what if I do get hurt?“
Joshua stared at her little finger painted in bright red nail polish. “Well, in that case, Daddy will be very sad.“ After a pause, he added, “I’ll make sure whoever hurt you gets taught a lesson.“ There was a hint of tenderness in his low voice.

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....
