Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Chapter 170

“Lily mentioned that you’ve been waiting for over an hour now?“ Joshua took off his jacket and handed it over to a servant. He lowered himself onto the couch and planted his arm gracefully on the leather armrest. “You wanted to talk to me?“

“I do, “ Adrian replied. He glanced at Luna and smiled. “It’s okay, we’ll talk next time.“

“I probably won’t even be interested in hearing about it next time, “ said Joshua as he crossed one slender leg over the other. “Tell me now.“

Joshua had never really been fond of his father, much less had a close relationship with him. The way he talked to his father at that moment felt no different from talking to a subordinate.

Adrian never expected that Joshua would behave like that; he did not even bother to show any respect toward him. Adrian remained silent for a moment before giving a wry smile. “Alright, I’ll just come right out and say it.“

He glanced at Luna and cleared his throat. “It’s about Ms. Luna. I’m sure you know that I’m a jewelry designer, and Nellie has displayed great talent in jewelry designing as well. However, I’ll be leaving in a few days to take care of some stuff, and I don’t want Nellie’s talent to go to waste. I didn’t think anyone in Banyan City would be qualified to teach her, except…“

Adrian pointed at Luna. “Except for Ms. Luna, “ He continued, ”At the beginning, I , like everyone else , thought that Ms. Luna was just an ordinary maid.

However, when I discovered her real profession and capabilities, I was shocked and ashamed that I hadn’t managed to see her for what she truly is: a genius.” All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

Adrian fixated his stare on Luna. ”Ms. Luna’s gift and aptitude in jewelry design are just what Nellie needs. She’d be the perfect teacher for Nellie.”

Joshua chuckled upon hearing his father’s words. He raised an eyebrow and swept his gaze over Luna’s face. ”You expect me to believe that my father isn’t in on this with you?”

Joshua had not spoken more than a few sentences with Adrian ever since the latter returned to the Lynch family, yet just a mere few days before his leaving , Adrian suddenly brought up the prospect of Luna becoming Nellie’s teacher. Joshua could not help but feel that his suspicions were correct: Adrian was part of Luna’s scheme, and he was trying to find an excuse to let Luna remain close to Joshua.

Luna frowned. She had a bad feeling about this.

She had been an exceptionally skilled jewelry designer in the past, but before she returned to Banyan City, she made sure that Malcolm had altered her personal information. In her resume, she was portrayed as an amateur who did not have many achievements, and her qualifications would not allow her to teach a prodigy like Nellie. Besides, the experience listed in her resume was nothing to boast about; there were plenty of people in Banyan City who had more impressive portfolios than hers.

Saying that there was no one else more qualified than her was a blatant lie.

Luna pursed her lips and shot Adrian a questioning look. What was this man trying to do?

“Daddy! “ All of a sudden, Nellie appeared. “Can you come upstairs for a bit? Me and Neil want to talk to you! “

Joshua murmured in response and got up from his seat. “Excuse me, I’ll need to go take a look.“

“Go ahead! “ Adrian waved his hand at Joshua nonchalantly. “I wanted to have a quick talk with Ms. Luna anyway.“

Joshua frowned upon hearing this. He gave Luna another cold glance before heading up the stairs.

After he left, Adrian and Luna were the only two people who remained in the living room.

“Ms. Luna,“ Adrian began as he took a deep breath and sat down across from her. “Or should I say…

Moon?“

Adrian poured himself a cup of tea and took a sip. “ The famous Moon, who just recently announced that she’d be leaving the jewelry design industry forever. Who would’ve thought that I’d run into the legendary Moon herself, working as a maid in my son’s home?“
