Joshua carried Luna into the car.
Luna sat in the back seat in silence throughout the car ride, gazing at the scenery outside the window.
The car pulled further and further away from the city center, heading toward the outskirts.
Luna could not help frowning as she watched the trees go past. “Why would Neil be at such a faraway place?“
Joshua reached out to hold her hand but paused. His hand hung mid-air for a moment, then finally drew it back.
He let out a sigh and said, “So that he can be at peace, with no one disturbing him.“
Luna nodded, thinking that Joshua’s explanation did not seem right yet made sense at the same time. “ Hmm, I guess you’re right! Neil definitely needs some alone time by himself. This child is far too talkative… Even though he’s only six, he acts like a grown-up. Sometimes, I even think he might be older than me.
“He’d always tell me not to stay up too late and forbid me from pulling an all-nighter, like a nagging grown-up. He’d always tell Nellie not to disturb me and ask us all to sleep in and get plenty of rest, but he’d always wake up early to make us breakfast.
“He constantly nags us to take care of our bodies… Nellie always teased him and told him he was acting like an old man. He’s only six, but he’s so talkative all the time. It’s like he’s afraid if he doesn’t talk, he won’t have a chance to do so in the future…“
As soon as she realized what she had said, Luna pursed her lips and did not say anything more.
Everyone grew silent.
The atmosphere in the car was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
Lucas, who was driving the car, stifled his tears and focused on the road ahead.
Throughout the entire car ride, Luna was bubbling with anticipation and excitement. She was looking forward to seeing Neil again. She believed that everything was like Joshua had described—that the reason Neil was so far away from the city center was that he needed some alone time.
When the car finally pulled up next to a cemetery, Luna could no longer keep herself together anymore.
As soon as she stepped out of the car, her legs gave out beneath her, and she slumped onto the ground.
She could not accept this.
Lucas took out a wheelchair from the trunk and assembled it. Then, Joshua and Gwen helped Luna into the wheelchair.
Luna closed her eyes, her entire body trembling. “ Why? Why? Joshua Lynch, I entrusted Neil in your care. You told me you’d take good care of Neil and
Nellie. You promised me you’d fulfill your responsibility as a father! Why… Why did my Neil…“
At this point, Luna was so choked up by tears that she could not say another word.

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....
