Alice immediately stiffened when she heard Joshua’s voice suddenly echoing through the silent room.
She must have misheard it; Joshua had eaten the crème brûlée that she spiked with sedatives. How could he possibly have awoken?
This was impossible…
Alice shook her head and continued rifling through Joshua’s clothes.
Alice could no longer convince herself she was mishearing things.
She slowly turned around, feeling as though the joints in her entire body were stiff and rigid. She finally took in the scene behind her.
Joshua, dressed in a pair of gray pajamas, was leaning gracefully against the doorframe. He fixated his gaze on her, a smirk playing on his lips.
Alice felt as though her blood had run cold and her entire body had stiffened.
She opened her mouth but did not manage to say a single word. After a long while, she finally stammered, “Josh…Joshua.“
“Yes. “ Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and strode over, then slowly squatted down in front of her.
He grabbed his shirt out of Alice’s hands and sternly uttered, ”What are you looking for behind my back? Why don’t you just tell me what it is, and I’111ook for it together with you.”
Alice was so nervous that she could not even form a single sentence. Her mind went blank.
This was not possible… How could this be?
She had put plenty of sleeping pills in the crème brûlée Joshua had eaten. The doctor had told her that this dosage would not harm Joshua but would surely put him in a deep sleep for a while.
She had ground the pills into powder and sprinkled it all over Joshua’s crème brûlée. He had eaten not one but two bowls of it, so how could he still be awake?
”Let me guess.” Joshua picked up his clothes, set them on the coffee table, then sat down gracefully on the sofa.

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....
