Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

Luna knew Granny Lynch was lying to herself.

”Mr. Lynch never defied you, you say? Many years ago, you wanted him to marry Hailey Walter , yet he ended up marrying Luna Gibson instead. After she died, you wanted him to retake Hailey as a second wife, but he got engaged with Aura Gibson. You gave him and Aura your blessing, but in the end, they broke up.” Luna stared at Granny Lynch impassively. ”Mr. Lynch has been defying you all his life. Since when did he listen to you?”

Luna thought her statement would shut Granny Lynch up and that she could finally get back at Granny Lynch for ruining her sketch. To her surprise, however, Granny Lynch chuckled.

”None of the stuff you said was true. In fact, it wasn’t me who wanted Joshua to marry Hailey Walter at all—it was his father’s wish. I’m afraid you have no idea how much Joshua respects me.” Granny Lynch continued smugly, ”Many years ago, when he was married to Luna Gibson, I told him that I wanted great-grandchildren, but Luna didn’t want any.

Joshua told me himself that he’d do as I wished.

”Luna Gibson couldn’t get pregnant no matter how many times she tried, so I forced her to try traditional remedies some witch doctors prescribed. The witch doctors cast spells on her and even made her eat dirt and ashes as part of the treatment. Luna Gibson thought all of this happened behind Joshua’s back when in reality, Joshua knew and even permitted me to do so.”

Granny Lynch sighed. ”I never expected the remedies to work, but it turned out they did; Luna Gibson managed to get pregnant in the end. No, wait. I shouldn’t call her by that name anymore.
