Alice’s sobs rang out. Her back shuddered while she sobbed.
Joshua sighed and gently patted her back, “This has nothing to do with you. You left Joshua and Natasha for so many years. Their actions have nothing to do with you.“
A hint of cunningness flashed across Alice’s eyes. She remained buried in Joshua’s arms.
After a while, Alice looked up still sobbing. “Is Luna alright? I went to visit her in the hospital this afternoon. She treated me very badly. She said vehemently that I was the one that urged my father to harm her…“
Alice wiped her tears. Her voice was hoarse, “I have already tried my best to apologize to her, but she would not even accept it. She also said…“
Joshua gently rubbed Alice’s back. “What did she say?“
“She said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Sooner or later, I will also…“
Alice choked. She was so agitated she could not finish her sentence.
The hand that Joshua was using to gently rub Alice’s back suddenly stopped.
After a while, he retracted his hands. “Are you sure that Luna said that?“
Alice nodded fervently. Tears were still streaming down her face. “Of course. I was shocked too, that Luna would say such a thing…“
Joshua furrowed his brows. A hint of aloofness flashed across his face. “Alice, pretending to be miserable should only be done to a certain degree. Luna is not the type of person who would say such things. You and I know that clearly.“
Then, Joshua got up and went upstairs. He said without turning his head back. “I know that Joseph harming Luna has nothing to do with you. Your voice is hoarse already. Go have a good rest. I ‘m going to work.“
Tears were still by the corner of Alice’s eyes. She looked at Joshua’s back with misty eyes. “Joshua, what are you talking about?“
Joshua turned back, smiled gently, and glanced at Alice. “You should know what I’m talking about.“
Although Joshua and Luna had not known each other for as long as he and Alice, Joshua was clear on what type of person Luna was.
She has suffered so many accidents and unfairness previously, yet she has never once muttered such words. How would she say those words to Alice?
No matter what, Joshua felt that Luna would never say such words.

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....
