The entire room grew silent as Joshua’s words hung in the air.
After a long pause, Nathan smiled and said, “What are you talking about, Mr. Lynch? We’re going to become work partners soon. Plus, your wife is close friends with Luna. Isn’t this marriage meant to be? Why are you— “
“Because, “ responded Joshua as he pointed his bony finger at Luna, “she’s not a good match.“
The atmosphere in the booth grew so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
The color drained from Luna’s face, but Theo’s expression did not look good either.
Nathan and Celeste looked at one another, bewildered.
“Joshua.“ Alice frowned and sat down next to Joshua. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Luna finally managed to find a boyfriend, and both Theo and his parents seem to be very happy with her…
Why are you saying things like this? Do you know what’ll happen if you break up a marriage?“
Although Alice had lowered her voice and appeared to be whispering in Joshua’s ear, everyone heard her.
At first glance, there did not seem to be anything wrong with what Alice said. However, upon further scrutiny, she implied that there was something wrong with Luna’s character, which led to her having a hard time finding a boyfriend.
Celeste furrowed her brows at Alice’s words. She lifted her head to glance at Luna, then at Alice.
Meanwhile, Nathan’s expression darkened. ”Mr. Lynch, you claim that Luna isn’t a good match. Can you elaborate?”
Luna clenched her fists in anger. She knew that Joshua would try to humiliate her at every chance he got! She narrowed her eyes and met his gaze. “Why don’t you tell me what you think, Mr. Lynch? What makes you think I’m not pure?
“Did I cheat on my wife, or did I refuse to admit the truth and instead continue to pretend like I’m a faithful partner?“
Joshua’s expression darkened. He continued to stare at Luna’s face and snarled through gritted teeth, “ The only thing I know is that a promiscuous woman such as yourself doesn’t deserve to be called pure! “
Celeste and Nathan’s faces paled upon hearing this. They immediately turned around to stare at Theo. “ Theo, this…“
“He’s talking nonsense! Luna is a pure and honest person! She’s a perfect match for our family! “ Theo clenched his teeth, took out the ring from the jewelry box, and tried to put it onto Luna’s finger.
However, the more agitated he was, the harder it was for him to slip it onto her finger. Finally, Luna drew back her hand and said, “Theo, it’s okay.“
“Luna… “ Theo bit down on his lip and was about to say something, but before he could do so, Luna stood up. She approached Nathan and Celeste and gave them both a respectful bow. ”Theo and I are just dating. I’ve never considered the idea of marrying him.”

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....
