Chapter 1797
Luna was so shocked that she was speechless for a long while. Jim was like Joshua. They had a lot of trade confidential information on them, thus their phone held the lifeline to the company. They would never simply leave their phone, let alone leave their phone with someone they were not close to. Luna furrowed her brows. “Why are you with my brother?”
Charlotte, on the other end of the line, merely smiled. She looked at Jim, who had passed out slumped on the table in front of her. “It’s because he asked me out, of course.” Then, she sighed and said, “Don’t get me wrong. He looked for me not because he wanted to get back together with me. It’s because…” Charlotte raised her eyebrows. “He wanted to chase me away while you’re not in Merchant City. He wanted me to stay away from you.” Then, Charlotte sighed and said, “But I don’t have the time to waste on you. He’s overthinking this.” Luna furrowed her brows. She wanted to say something else when Charlotte gave the excuse that Jim had returned and hung up. Luna clutched her phone tightly as she heard the dial beeping. Waves of unease washed over her.
Luna did not believe what Charlotte said. After all, even if Jim truly asked Charlotte out for coffee to warn her to stay away from Luna, he would not have given his phone to her when he went to the bathroom, This was not something Jim would do. However, she was in Banyan City at that moment. She could not personally verify if what Charlotte said was true. After a while, Luna could only take her phone and call the butler of the Landry Mansion. She got him to send someone to look for Jim to make sure he was alright. After hanging up her phone, Luna closed her eyes and leaned back on the car seat, resting. When the car was by Bonnie’s house, only then did she suddenly recall that she had forgotten to pass the check that John got her to return to Joshua. She took the 500000 dollar-check out from her pocket, looking at Joshua’s flamboyant handwriting. She helplessly rubbed the middle of her brows. She was rather forgetful recently. Could Jim be like her, forgetting his phone, leaving i t with Charlotte? Coming out from the taxi, Luna had only entered the courtyard of Bonnie’s mansion when Jim called. “Luna.” Jim’s voice sounded rather exhausted. Luna pursed her lips. “Jim, just now, did you…” Jim yawned and sounded a little groggy as if he had just woken up. “I was having coffee with Charlotte just now. I left my phone with her. Were you looking for me?”
Hearing Jim’s voice, Luna paused for a while. Something was not right. “Jim, you don’t seem like the type who’d leave their phone with other people.” Jim chuckled. “Well, I’m not perfect; I make mistakes too. Don’t worry about it. The butler sent someone to check on me. Did you send for him?” Luna responded calmly. “Don’t do such a thing again in the future.” Jim sounded serious. “Although you’re the head of the Landry family and the butler should follow your orders, I’m still your older brother. Stop getting the servants to check up on me. If you really don’t trust m e, you could just chase me out of the family, and I’ll stop being the vice president of the Landry Group.” Luna could not help but widen her eyes upon Jim’s words. “Jim, that’s not what I meant.” She just did not trust Charlotte, worried that something might have happened to him. Why did the situation morph into something as though she was sending people to spy on him and control him because she supposedly did not trust him?

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....
