Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

The man shouted a reply and strode in their direction.

As soon as Luna caught sight of the man’s face, she felt her blood run cold.

She was right.

This man named Jason…was the same person who had hit her with a truck and removed her hand from the railing. This was the man who had caused her to fall into the sea!

“Hello, Ms. Luna.“ Jason lifted his head and smiled at her, revealing a row of white teeth.

He looked exactly the way she remembered.

Luna could not fight back the shriek that escaped her lips as she instantly backed away from him.

Joshua quickly laid a hand on her back and asked, “ What’s wrong?“

Luna opened her mouth to say something, but nothing came out. She was so frightened that she could not even say a single word.

This was the man who almost killed her! He was her greatest fear!

“Maybe Ms. Luna is just too excited to meet me.“ Jason gave Joshua a respectful smile. “My sister used to be friends with Ms. Luna. She’s always wanted me to return so that I can take care of my sister.“

With that, he smiled at Luna. “Isn’t that right, Ms. Luna?“

Luna’s throat felt so tight that she could not even squeeze out a single syllable. After a moment, she nodded in silence to show her agreement.

She was terrified of Jason. After all, this was the man that Joshua had sent to kill her.

However, no matter how scared she was, Luna knew she could not show her true emotions. Otherwise, Joshua would quickly pick up on it and realize something was wrong, which would lead to him possibly figuring out her true identity.

“Why don’t we exchange contacts, Ms. Luna?“ Jason took out his phone and walked toward her.

Luna had to use all her might to move her body again. Then, finally, she exhaled and said slowly, “Is that necessary?“

“Yes, I think it is.“ Jason grinned. “I’ve been to the mental asylum already. They told me they need at least two of Bonnie’s friends and family to bail her out. You and I would make two people exactly.“

Luna paused for a moment, then finally nodded.

It had been a while since Bonnie was admitted into the mental asylum in Aura’s place. She had impersonated Aura to save her brother. Although Luna knew that a mental asylum was not a good place to live, she still could not forgive Bonnie. If Bonnie had not taken Aura’s place, Aura would not have been able to kidnap Neil.

Neil had suffered severe injuries from the kidnapping, so Luna still could not forgive Bonnie for what had happened and never visited her even once.

Time certainly flew.

“Why are you so eager to exchange contacts? ” Zach dragged out one last suitcase and stuffed it into the van’s trunk. “Jason, you’re going to become Lynch Group Tower’s new security guard in place of us.

There’s plenty of chances for you to run into Ms. Luna in the future, so don’t be so impatient. You’re going to scare her.”

Jason gave a smile. “You’re right.”

Luna bit down on her lip and turned around to glance at Joshua. “He…”

“Yes,” Joshua answered impassively. “I don’t have any tasks for him, so I’m hiring him as a security guard for the time being.”

Luna’s heart leaped into her throat. Joshua’s meaning was clear.

He did not have any tasks for Jason, so he decided to let him work as a security guard for the time being.

Which meant that…her suspicions were right.

Joshua had indeed sent Jason to kill her. Otherwise, he would not have said that.

They talked for a while more after that before Jason glanced at the time and said, “Well, it’s almost time to send Zach and Yuri to the airport now.“

He shook the car keys at hand and extended an invitation to Luna and Joshua. “There are still empty seats in the van. Would you two like to send them off at the airport?“

He even shot Luna a faint smile. “I’m a pretty good driver. Would you like to see for yourself, Ms. Luna?“

Luna frowned and immediately shook her head. “It’s getting late now. I have to go home and get some rest. “ With that, she walked over to Zach and Yuri and shook hands with them, respectively. “Help me take good care of Neil and Nellie.“

They grinned and shook her hand in return. “Don’t worry, Ms. Luna. Neil is our boss, and Nellie is his sister. We’ll definitely take good care of them! “

Then, they bade Joshua farewell and got into the van. Jason started the car and set off, heading toward the airport.

Luna watched the van become smaller and smaller and could not help but sigh.

“Do you and Jason…know each other?“ came Joshua’s sudden question next to her ear.

Luna paused and finally came to. She gave Joshua a faint smile and answered, “Of course not. How could I possibly have known him?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes searchingly. “The way you looked at Jason just now…“

Luna pursed her lips. After a moment, she let out another sigh and said, “I was just feeling a little sorry for Bonnie.

“Do you remember her? She was the reporter who pretended to work as an assistant at Lynch Group. She had done all that because Aura had promised to tell her of Jason’s whereabouts if she obeyed her orders.“

Luna lifted her head to gaze at Joshua intently as if trying to detect any emotion from his face. “You must’ve known about this, right?“

Aura and Joshua had probably been in on this together. This was why Aura was able to use Jason to threaten Bonnie.

Luna continued to stare at Joshua, attempting to see if any of this jogged his memory.

However, there was no expression on the man’s face at all. Instead, he looked back at her impassively. “ What happened, then?“

Luna closed her eyes and let out a bitter chuckle. “ Bonnie is the same person who pretended to be Aura and was sent into the mental asylum in her place.“

Joshua frowned and seemed to recall something. “ She and Jason…“

“She’s Jason’s sister. Well, to be specific, they grew up together, and now she’s hopelessly in love with him.“ Luna turned around and walked out of the

yard with Joshua while at the same time explaining Bonnie’s story to him.

Finally, she got onto the black Maserati and turned around to glance at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, don’t you think she was foolish?“

Joshua narrowed his eyes slightly and nodded. “Yes, she was.“

He tilted his head to meet Luna’s gaze. “Is this why you reacted that way when you saw Jason? You felt sorry for Bonnie because she sacrificed so much for him?“

Luna lied through her teeth, “That’s right.“

Joshua chuckled. “I never expected you to take pity on a naïve girl like her.“

Luna shifted into a more comfortable position and leaned against the car’s backseat. “Well, it’s because I used to be just as nalve as her.“

“Oh?“ Joshua turned around and looked at her in amusement. “Is that so? Why don’t you tell me the story of your past, Ms. Luna? I’m really curious as to what kind of man would make you fall so hopelessly i n love that you couldn’t distinguish between right and wrong anymore.“

The atmosphere inside the car grew quiet.

Luna curled her lips into a smirk and gazed at Joshua with clear eyes. “Mr. Lynch, what kind of man do you think would make me fall so hopelessly in love with?“

She stared at him with a gaze so intense and cold that Joshua felt as though he was the man who had disappointed her. He could not help but feel uneasy by her stare.

He tilted his head away from her and chuckled. “ Well, I know he probably isn’t someone like me.“

Luna felt like laughing at his response. Instead, she turned away from him and instead stared in front of her. “You’re right. He wasn’t like you at all. He was someone irresponsible, selfish, and didn’t take responsibility for the people around him at all.“

Luna snuck a meaningful glance at the man next to her and could not help noticing Joshua’s sharp and chiseled side -profile. “He was totally different from you, Mr. Lynch. You’re responsible and loyal both to your family and your wife. How could anyone possibly compare the two of you?“

Joshua furrowed his brows. It was rare to hear Luna praising him like this, but somehow, her compliments made him feel uncomfortable.

After a long pause, he smiled and said, “Well, since he’s such a bad person, why did you like him?“

“I was naïve and probably blind, “ said Luna as she beamed at him. She enjoyed criticizing Joshua right in front of him without him knowing it.

She knew that Joshua could probably tell something was wrong. However, he could not seem to put his finger on it. Knowing that Joshua was probably trying to put two and two together made her feel exhilarated, so she continued, “I was young and nalve, so I thought if I loved him, he’d love me back, and we’d be together forever. In reality, he didn’t like me at all, and as time passed, he resented me more and more…

“Until eventually, in the end, I realized that this man wasn’t worth my time at all. He was selfish and arrogant and didn’t care about anyone apart from himself. He didn’t deserve anyone’s love, yet ironically, many other women besides me were crazy for him…“

Joshua frowned at her words.

Seeing how animated Luna was, Joshua had a feeling that she was talking about him, but…

He narrowed his eyes and fixated his penetrating gaze on Luna. “When did you start liking him?“

“Eight, nine years ago, I think. It was too long ago.“ Luna gazed out the window and added impassively, “ We’ve broken up for a long time now. Thank God I was able to get out of that relationship while I could

Joshua stared at her back coldly.

She had fallen in love with this man eight or nine years ago and gotten to know Alice eight years ago.

If his suspicions were correct, that the man she was talking about was indeed him, then it could only mean one thing.

She was Hailey Walter.

Joshua recalled what Jude had said in his office the day before.
