When Luna knocked on the door and entered with hot tea, Joshua was sitting and talking on the phone.
Seeing her entering, Joshua swept a cold glance at her and continued reprimanding his staff, “How many years have you been on this job? Do I still need to teach you basic respect for your superiors? So what if you’re in a bad mood? Do I, as a boss, need to care for your emotions? If there’s a next time, you can prepare to resign! “
Luna smiled faintly as she heard his words. Joshua might seem like he was reprimanding his staff, but he was indirectly telling them to Luna.
This was the third time he asked her to send something up for him to drink. From coffee to tea, Luna knew he did not need to drink so much while working that night. The only possible reason was that she got under his skin as she ignored him and treated him indifferently.
Joshua had always been high and mighty. He was a man that everyone respected and looked up to.
He must have felt terrible when she suddenly ignored his presence, then. This was not because he cared about Luna; it was his ego reacting.
Luna put the cup of tea down, turned, and left.
“Stop, “ Joshua haughtily called from behind just as Luna’s hand was on the doorknob.
Luna hesitated for a while and stopped in her tracks.
“I’m tired.“ Joshua leaned back on his chair. “Give me a massage.“
Luna did not turn around. “Mr. Lynch, I’m Ms. Nellie’s servant, not yours. When we signed the contract, you explicitly told me that I only had to listen to Ms. Nellie and take good care of her. Making coffee and tea for you tonight was done free of charge. I don’t think you should take advantage of this.“
Joshua was so furious he was rendered speechless.
Back then when they signed the contract, he did indeed stress this clause as he felt that Luna was scheming against him at that time. This clause was just to remind her of her place.
He did not expect that she would bring this clause up when he asked her to do things for him!
Him, taking advantage?
“Good night.“ Luna did not wait for Joshua to react a s she immediately opened the door and left.
The door of the study was shut.
Joshua looked at Luna leaving and the door closing. He was even more annoyed.
He forced himself to continue working, but Luna’s words of him taking advantage kept ringing in his ears.
It was bitter and unbearable.
When Joshua lost all mood to even read his emails, he decided to take a stroll in the backyard.
Blue Bay Villa’s backyard was huge. There was a man- made lake, artificial hills, and a cobblestone path. There were assorted pavilions and greenery as well.
Back when Luna Gibson was still around, she planted many beautiful plants in the backyard.
Six years had passed, and her plants were long gone, too.
Walking on the cobblestone path with the night breeze gently blowing by, Joshua finally felt better.
The moon shone brightly.
Walking under the moonlight, his surroundings were so quiet it was like he was in a painting.
“When I ‘m not by your side, you have to take good care of yourself. Don’t be too naughty. Do you hear me? Of course, I’ll be worried and sad, so you have to be good for me. Okay?“
Joshua heard a soft woman’s voice that came from a distance. He furrowed his brows and followed the sound.
It was Luna.
At that moment, she was on top of an artificial hill as she talked on the phone.
Although he was far away from her, her affectionate appearance still made Joshua’s heart beat violently.
Perhaps it was quiet at night, but he heard every word she said even though her voice was rather meek.

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
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....
This just keeps getting worse, is Fiona another Hailey/Aura. Not sick just playing a game to get Joshua. Disappointing, disgusting and despicable. Luna needs to win , Joshua needs to grow a backbone and see through these horrible women. Why should Luna always be the one who is bullied, destroyed, disrespected and dismissed. Terrible. Those kids need both Luna and Joshua....
OMG no!!!! Someone needs to explain clearly to Luna so the bitterness in her heart subsides and she can truly be civil to Joshua so they can get together as a family. Fiona is unreasonable in her request for a superficial relationship, why can’t one character see the hurt that has been caused Luna and be on her side. Not a fan of Fiona and a superficial relationship even if it cures Nigel....
Totally distract over the fact that the author is spinning Luna as the evil Alice/Hailey. Hope this story line doesn’t last long and we can see a loving family Joshua,Luna and kids soon....
