Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 154

“Finally, I can sleep with Mommy again.“

Laying on the bed, Neil hugged his mother’s arm and rubbed his little head against her. “Since we came back, I haven’t been close to you at all. You’re with Nellie every day, and it’s hard for me to even hold you, Mommy.“

Neil’s words made Luna feel slightly guilty. After all, Nellie was her treasure, but so were Neil and Nigel.

She was always worried about Nigel’s illness and Nellie’s safety, but she somehow neglected the smart and obedient Neil.

At that thought, she raised her hand and ruffled his hair. “After your brother’s illness is cured, Mommy will spend every day with the three of you.“

Neil pouted. “Mommy, you mean four.“

Luna paused, smiling helplessly. “Right, four.“

She had to conceive Joshua’s child again to save Nigel.

“You may want to be with us every day, Mommy, but we might not want you to.“ Neil smiled at her cheekily and hugged her arm. “After Nigel recovers, he’ll definitely want to continue being a hacker, learning everything about computers and programming.

As for Nellie, she’ll surely want to work as a jewelry designer. She’ll be very, very busy.“

Luna laughed lightly. “What about you?“

“I don’t know what I want to be in the future yet. If you’re nice to me, Mommy, I might consider helping you raise the kid.“

As she gazed at the boy’s serious expression, Luna’s giggle spilled through her lips.

She raised her hand and ruffled his hair again. “Neil, I’ve never felt worried with you here.“

Even though Neil had made the wrong decision in the past by asking Nellie to reunite with Joshua, she had to admit that Neil was the sibling more capable o f taking care of her and his siblings compared to the eternally quiet Nigel and the somewhat childish and disobedient Nellie.

He was so young yet could take up the responsibility or caring for the entire family.

She did not know who he got his strong sense of responsibility from, but she knew it was not from Joshua.

Joshua…

He was the most irresponsible man she had ever met throughout her life.

Luna sighed softly at the thought as she held Neil’s tiny body in her arms. “Got to sleep.“

She slept soundly through the night.

Early the next morning, Luna was awakened by the fragrance of fresh food. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

She opened her eyes, and the sounds of tinkering pots and pans drifted into her ears from the kitchen. Neil was preparing breakfast.

As the fragrance rushed into her nostrils, her gluttonous side was revealed.

She hurriedly climbed down the bed, washed herself, then sat obediently at the dining table like a child.

The real child, Neil, brought the freshly—prepared breakfast and placed it carefully in front of her. “Did you sleep well last night?“

“Very well.“ Luna sucked in a deep breath. “It’s been a long time since I’ve eaten breakfast you prepared.“

Neil laughed. “Now you don’t have to go to Blue Bay Villa anymore, and since we’re living together, I can cook for you every day.“

Looking at the little guy acting so serious and mature, Luna smiled helplessly. “Am I the adult here, or is it you?“

“I’m a man, “ said Neil as he turned resolutely and headed to the kitchen to fetch his breakfast. “Men have to take care of women. No matter how old he is, he has to take care of women.“

Luna’s hand that held her spoon trembled slightly. She was reminded of Joshua.

He…had never taken care of her. Right…

Perhaps it was not that he did not know how to take care of others; perhaps it was that he did not take care of her.

She inhaled deeply at the thought and tried to scatter the messy, unnecessary thoughts in her mind before she ate.

They had only taken a few bites when the doorbell started ringing anxiously.

Luna frowned.

The apartment was set on fire two weeks ago and had been empty since. How come someone would come knocking the moment she and Neil spent the night here?
