Chapter 2867
Joshua had said it before-they hoped Gwen could pretend to be Steven’s girlfriend to distract Steven’s parents. Therefore, Gwen was not surprised when Joshua said that.
She pursed her lips and looked at Joshua with a pair of serious eyes. “Do I need to do it now?”
She thought there was time for her to prepare mentally.
“We don’t have much time left.” Joshua looked down at his watch to check the time and said, “It’s going to take roughly half a day for you and Steven to get ready and ask Steven’s parents out to the restaurant.
“And, since we don’t know the exact location where Denise and Sean are in the residence, we can’t guarantee Sean has an adequate food supply. Most importantly…”
He gave Gwen a serious look. “If we don’t distract Steven’s parents soon, I’m scared they might be cornered in desperation and sell Denise to someone else.”
Luna frowned as she heard that. “Are you saying…”
“Yes.” Joshua interrupted her indifferently to express affirmation of her assumption. “You should know Steven’s parents adopted Denise because of themselves. They wanted to lighten the sin they conducted and nearly ruin Denise’s life.
“All these years, they only treated Denise like their daughter, taking care of her, pampering her, and showering her with love because they hoped she would marry into a good family in exchange for more power and wealth. Since Denise is no longer a virgin, they had also lost hope of having her marry Thomas. The scariest part for them is Denise actually wants to be with a poor man and leave them for him…”
He raised his head and looked at Luna. “What do you think they’d do out of desperation?”
Luna bit her lip and took a step back unconsciously.
The answer was simple; they would do everything they could to maximize Denise’s value to them. If they thought Denise was a high-end luxury product in the past, the current Denise only had the value of a scrap car that belonged in the scrap yard.

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....
