Joshua turned around when he heard Theo’s voice. As soon as his gaze met Luna’s and Theo’s, his expression darkened.
Alice, too, caught sight of them. She pursed her lips in indignation and said to Joshua pointedly, “Look at that. Luna and Theo Allen had just met yesterday, yet they’re already here on a breakfast date. Tsk.“
Joshua could not help but frown at Alice’s tone. After a moment, he strode to where the duo sat and plopped down in the empty seat right next to Luna. “ Let’s share a table.“
Alice had no choice but to hastily follow, but she noticed that the only available seat left was next to Theo. She sat down reluctantly.
As soon as she sat down, Alice realized that something did not seem right. The café was not that crowded at all, and there were unoccupied tables all over the place. They did not need to share a table with Luna and Theo at all. Besides, even if they had to, Joshua should have sat next to her instead of with Luna.
Theo picked up his glass of oat milk and took a sip. “ What an interesting combination here at this table,“ he said meaningfully.
Luna could not stand having Joshua mere inches away from her, so she slurped the rest of her oatmeal until her bowl was empty. “Alright, I’m done. Mr. Lynch, will you excuse me, please?“
“Why are you in such a hurry?“ asked Joshua as he glanced at the time. “There’s still half an hour left. Besides, even if you were late, at least your boss was with you, so why are you so impatient?“
The waiter served Joshua and Alice’s meals. Joshua proceeded to eat his breakfast slowly and gracefully.
Luna smirked as she watched him chew. “Mr. Lynch, what you’re saying is that I should sit here and watch you eat, that only after you’re finished am I allowed to go to work. Is that correct?“
“Sounds about right.“
“You…! “
“Luna, “ Theo interjected with a polite smile. “Mr. Lynch has already given you a free pass. Even if you were late to work, you wouldn’t get into trouble anyway, so why are you in such a rush?“
Theo propped his chin up in his hands and gave Luna a tender look. “In the future, when you move here, we won’t have to come out for breakfast anymore. I’m a pretty good cook. Would you like to try my cooking sometime?“
Luna glanced at Joshua, who was eating with a sunken expression on his face, and replied, “Sure. I’m not a bad cook myself—we can take turns making breakfast.“

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....
