Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 256

Joshua lifted his gaze and glanced in the direction where Luna and Theo had walked off from, their hands still intertwined. They had known each other for just a few minutes, yet they held hands like a couple would!

Joshua could not help but frown at the sight.

“Joshua… Did you really not see anything? “ asked Alice tentatively as they made their way down the stairs, her hand still clutching his arm.

Joshua stared blankly ahead. “What do you think?“

Alice bit her lip and remained silent. After a moment, she said, “Actually, I— “

“I know, “ Joshua gently interrupted her. “I know that you’re trying to take revenge on Luna for kidnapping your kids, but this will be the first and last time, Alice.“

He let out a deep sigh before continuing, “If you’re still holding a grudge against her, you shouldn’t have asked me to let her out. Now that we’ve released her, you shouldn’t be trying to take revenge on her.“ His voice was low and solemn.

Alice chewed her lip nervously. “Alright, I won’t let this happen again.“

She would be more careful next time.

Joshua could tell she was upset. He sighed and gently patted her hand. “I know that you’re still the kind and thoughtful woman I used to know, so don’t do this ever again.“

The two then walked out of the art gallery and were met with fresh air. Joshua lifted his head to gaze at the city lights that blinked in the distance. “I’ll ask Lucas to send you home.“

Alice paused for a moment and said with a tone of slight displeasure, “Do you have to work overtime tonight?“

“Yes, “ murmured Joshua as he rubbed his eyebrows with an air of exhaustion. “I have a meeting tonight with some foreign companies.“

“You’ve been working overtime for two nights in a row now, “ Alice protested. She bit her bottom lip and tugged his arm in an attempt to coax him. “We haven’t managed to spend time together ever since I returned…“

“It’s not like we’re ever going to be separated again in the future, so why are you so worried?“ Joshua stroked her hair gently before he gestured at someone in the distance.
