Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua) novel Chapter 335

Luna’s hand stiffened. After a moment, she let out a chuckle. “Did I hear you correctly, Miss Gibson? You hired people to kidnap my son and daughter. They’re sitting in front of me right now, putting ointment onto their wounds. Now you’re telling me you want to make a deal? I don’t think there’s anything to talk about.“

Leaning against the hospital bed, Alice closed her eyes. “What if the thing I wanted to talk to you about is me and Joshua’s divorce?“

Luna furrowed her brows. “What do you mean?“

“What I mean is, “ Alice answered. She took a deep breath and tried to make herself as clear as possible. “I wasn’t the one who hired the people to kidnap Neil and Nellie. You should know by now that I’m not that stupid. If I wanted to punish Neil and Nellie, I have plenty of other ways of doing so. I didn’t have to choose the dumbest method.“

Luna paused. “What are you trying to say?“

“I’m sure you know by now that Joshua is planning to divorce me, “ Alice said as she curled her lips into a smile, sounding somewhat disheartened. “I’ll make a deal with you right now. If you track Joshua down and ask him to let Yvonne go, then I won’t file for Neil and Nellie’s custody.“

Luna chuckled upon hearing Alice’s words. “Are you crazy, Alice?“

“You’re trying to use my children’s custody against

me so that I would ask Joshua to release the person who harmed them? Do you think Joshua is stupid? What makes you think he can’t put two and two together, and figure out your connection to Yvonne? Besides, what makes you think that you will be able to win Neil and Nellie’s custody rights in the first place?“

On the other end of the line, Alice’s face began to lose its color. She knew that Luna was right, but she could not risk letting Joshua find out about her scheme, so she was willing to do anything to cover her tracks.

Alice bit down on her lip and said, “Well then, why don’t you make me another deal? As long as Yvonne gets to walk off free, I’ll agree to anything you want.“
