Chapter 3038
The crocodile tears brimming in Tara's eyes were like cherries on top of her perfectly crafted lie.
Gwen could not help frowning in disapproval when she heard this.
Joshua was no doubt a handsome man, and as Luna's friend, she had witnessed throngs of women practically throwing themselves at Joshua over the years. That being said, however, Tara was arguably one of the most cunning and crafty women she had ever met.
Gwen instinctively glanced at Joshua, then at Luna.
To her surprise, Luna was also staring at Joshua with a funny expression.
Gwen paused momentarily, then inched closer to Luna and whispered in her ear, "This woman is clearly trying to steal your husband. Why are you so calm?"
Luna shrugged, smiling. "Well, if he falls right into her trap so easily, perhaps I'll be better off without him.
"Since Joshua promised me he'd be able to take care of all this, I shall let him do his work. If he truly managed to stick to his word and resolve everything, we will still be a happy little family, but if things don't go the way I want, Tara can have him, so long as I get the kids."
Gwen froze for a moment, then gave Luna a thumbs-up in admiration.
She admired Luna for her open-mindedness and her newfound optimism. It was clear that Luna had changed a lot since her time in jail.
However, on second thought, she knew Luna was right.
His gaze turned solemn as he asked, "Why didn't you go to to work? Do you think this job is too difficult? If you don't want to do this, I can talk to Uncle Devon and he can free you of your responsibilities here so you can go back to living your carefree, bratty life."
Tara looked as though she was about to burst into tears." Joshua... I... I just wanted to come see you guys...
"We're family, and since you've all come all the way from Banyan City, I had to show some respect by coming to pick you up myself, don't I?"
"I told you it wasn't necessary." Joshua's expression was stern. "Besides, you had just left Banyan City a few days ago. it's not like we hadn’t seen each other in years, is it? I already told you it's not necessary for you to come, and yet you chose to play hooky from work and disregard my orders.
"Tara, I don't see any inkling of sincerity in wanting to take over Uncle Devon's business the right way.
"Or perhaps were you just trying to get close to me when you came to work as my secretary for two weeks? if that's the case, I have no choice but to be honest with Uncle Devon and tell him that I won't have anything to do with you anymore."

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....
