Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 3039

Tara widened her eyes in shock, and tears began to slide down her cheeks. “Joshua, I… That’s not what I intended to do at all… I…”

“That’s enough now.” Luna, who had been watching in silence all this while, finally piped up. “Ms. Moore, I think you should go back now. We’ll have lunch or dinner with you someday after we’ve had some rest.

“However, I want you to take Joshua’s advice seriously. Your work should always be your first priority.”

Tara, who had been upset about Joshua’s stern scolding up until now, could not help snickering when she heard this. “I know! Thanks for trying to teach me a lesson, Luna.”

With that, she could not help adding rather snarkily,” However, I do hope that you can remain understanding when I ask Joshua for help in the future, Luna. I hope that our relationship won’t be tainted by your jealousy.”

Luna’s smile was gentle and reassuring when she replied,” Why would I get jealous if you’re meeting over work? All I should be worried about are people who hide their true intentions underneath a false facade of work.”

With that, Luna yawned and turned to glance at the driver.” I’m getting tired now. we should go to the hotel and get some rest.”

The driver nodded, then rolled the windows up and started the car.

Tara stared daggers at the retreating car as it pulled away, then could not help stomping her foot in frustration.

Gwen could not help chuckling as she watched Tara from the rearview mirror. “I think you may have gone a little overboard, Luna.”

Luna, too, smiled at this. “Well, she asked for it. All I did was fulfill her.”

The two women burst into giggles at this.

Joshua could not help smiling when he heard their tinkling laughter.

The truth was, unbeknownst to her, Luna had changed ever since she got out of jail. Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

Neither Joshua nor their four children had managed to evoke her heartfelt laughter since she got out of jail. Her happiness was like mist; briefly clouding over them when they said or did something to make her laugh, but dissipating as soon as it had come.

Occasionally, she would feign laughter just to fulfill their wishes, but after so many years of marriage, Joshua could easily tell between her feigned chuckles and heartfelt laughter.

He knew that she was just pretending to be happy for everyone’s sake.

Joshua had even sought help from a psychiatrist for this, and despite sneaking her some of the doctor’s prescription pills, nothing changed.

After that, the doctor mentioned to him that she needed something to help jerk her out of her traumatic experience or heal her inner wounds.

This was why Joshua had gotten in contact with the Moore family and requested their help in tracking John down.

She knew that Luna was still blaming herself for Anne’s death, but at the same time, he knew that the last thing John wanted was to see her.

This was the reason Joshua had brought her to Sharnwick City and deliberately lure Tara out.

He needed something-or rather, someone-to distract Luna from her nervousness about seeing John again.

He wanted to let Luna observe John and Sammie from afar so she could be assured that they were doing just fine on their own.

Not only that, but he knew helping Gwen save her father would also hasten Luna’s recovery from her psychological wounds.

After all…they still had the rest of their lives to spend together, and he wanted her to be happy again.

At the thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a smile and texted Tara. [You did great.]

Tara sent him an emoji that was rolling its eyes. [I request some extra reward for my Oscar-winning performance!]
