Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 168

By the time Joshua, Luna, Neil, and Nellie came out o f the kindergarten, the crowd of parents waiting outside had dispersed.

Lucas, obediently waiting outside, froze momentarily in shock when he saw the two adults and two children emerging out of the building.

‘Why are Joshua and Luna together again? They had just parted ways last night and even fought this morning.’ Lucas thought to himself, flummoxed at the sight. He could still picture the solemn look on Joshua’s face when he returned to the ward this morning. Did they somehow manage to make up in just a few hours? Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Joshua hoisted Nellie into his arms and slid into the backseat.

Neil, seemingly trying to avoid Joshua, opened the passenger side door in a swift motion and sat in the front passenger seat.

Luna paused. After a moment’s hesitation, however, she opened the car door and got into the backseat. Joshua was on the left while Luna was on the right, with Nellie wedged in between them.

“Thank you, Daddy! “ Nellie gazed at her father with an awestruck look in her eyes. “I wouldn’t have lied if I had known you’d let me have fried chicken! “

Joshua squinted at her and cupped her tiny hand with his large one. “In the future, you should be

honest with me about anything you want. Don’t lie to me.”

Nellie lowered her head in shame and muttered, “

Okay…“

“Most importantly, you shouldn’t lie about getting hurt, understand?“

“Then…what if I do get hurt?“

Joshua stared at her little finger painted in bright red nail polish. “Well, in that case, Daddy will be very sad.“ After a pause, he added, “I’ll make sure whoever hurt you gets taught a lesson.“ There was a hint of tenderness in his low voice.

Nellie pursed her lips in approval. She snuck a glance at Luna and said, “See, Aunty, my Daddy is the best.“

Luna narrowed her eyes upon hearing this but said nothing else.

Joshua acted like he was the best father in the world. Who was he kidding? If he truly cared about Nellie, if he would handle those who hurt his daughter, then what about Aura?

Ever since Nellie was born, Aura had been the first and only person who seemingly wanted Nellie’s life at all costs, yet this man—who kept trying to act like a good father—did nothing apart from imprisoning her.

At the thought of Aura, Luna could not help but let out a sigh. She lifted her head to sneak a surreptitious glance at Joshua. She still could not figure out what this man planned to do to Aura.

The car soon arrived at Blue Bay Villa.

“Sir, little princess! “ Lily came forward to greet them with a smile as soon as the car stopped. “How was school today?“

The car door opened, and Luna stepped out.

Lily’s smile froze on her face upon seeing her. “Ms. Luna, what are you doing here?“

“Daddy wants to treat Neil and Aunty to some fried chicken! “ Nellie exclaimed, grinning as she hopped off the car. “Lily, do you know how to make fried chicken?“

Lily picked her up and answered, “Of course I do! “

She turned to look at Joshua and Luna and asked tentatively, “Sir, are you sure…that you want to have fried chicken with guests over?“

Joshua had alighted the car gracefully and unbuttoned his cuff sleeves when he heard that. “ What do you mean?“

Lily took a deep breath and replied, “You have a guest; it’s your father. He’s been waiting in the living room for about an hour now. He said… “ She gave Luna a sideways glance before she continued, “

He said he wants to talk to you about Ms. Luna.“
