Alice searched Joshua’s hotel room for an hour and even sifted through every single piece of paper in his briefcase, but still could not find anything.
The divorce agreement papers seemingly vanished into thin air without even a single trace.
An hour later, she heard someone knock on the door, followed by Lucas’ low voice. “Sir, it’s time to go to Larson Group for your meeting.“
“Sir?“ After waiting for a long time but heard no response, Lucas frowned and fished out the backup keys in his pocket. Then, he shoved it in the keyhole, about to open the door.
Alice immediately panicked when she heard the sound of keys jangling outside and exclaimed, “ Don’t come in! Joshua and I are in the room together! “
Lucas immediately stopped in his tracks. “Ma’am, it’s time for Sir to attend his meeting. Everyone from Larson Group is waiting for him.“
Alice frantically put everything back in their place. “ Alright! “ With that, she quickly walked over to Joshua and rocked him awake, calling his name in a gentle voice, “Joshua? Joshua? Why did you fall asleep?“
It took a while for Joshua to wake up, slowly opening his eyes at last. “What happened?“
Alice gave him a faint smile. “It’s time for your meeting at Larson Group. Lucas has been waiting for you for a long time now.“
Joshua yawned and immediately stood up, grabbing his jacket before he strode out the door.
Seeing how Joshua did not seem suspicious, Alice sighed in relief and slumped onto the sofa.
Outside the hotel room.
Joshua strolled into the elevator, still clutching his jacket. As soon as the elevator doors closed, he narrowed his eyes and said, “Lucas, prepare some medicine for me.“
Lucas froze. “What medicine?“ “Alice is trying to drug me.“

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....
