Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

Luna’s hand that was holding her phone tightened slightly. “How did you know?“

On the other end of the phone, Theo sucked in a cold breath. “So, you really went to Sea City with Joshua?“

Luna frowned but did not answer.

“Luna, didn’t we agree yesterday that I would go with you?“ Theo’s voice carried a hint of disappointment. “I know you don’t want to trouble me, but I told you…“

Sucking in a deep breath, he frowned. “I ‘m on my way to Sea City, tell me where’s the location of the hotel you’re in, I’ll go to you.“

Luna glanced at Luke Jones who was sitting in the passenger seat. He shrugged, then opened the door and stepped out of the car. Luna was the only one left inside the car.

“Theo. “ She sucked in a deep breath. “I came here because my friend fell ill, I came to visit her, not for traveling or for a vacation. Joshua is with me only because Luke is his friend too. You really don’t have to come, I might be able to go home tomorrow.“

“But…“ On the other end of the phone, Theo frowned. “Do you know how I found out you went there with Joshua? Alice told me. She just called and said the two of you have rekindled old flames. She asked whether I would like to work together with her..but I rejected her. She said she’s on her way to Sea City. I was worried she would make a fuss out of the fact that you and Joshua went to Sea City together…“

He paused for a moment. “I can at least help if I ‘m there with you.“

Luna paused. For the past few days, Alice had been laying low, she almost forgot there was still a ticking time bomb beside Joshua in the form of Alice Gibson.

But, Luna’s hand that was holding her phone tightened slightly.

She came just in time. The Walter family was the cause of Gwen’s tragedy. If not for Alice, the Walter family would never do that to Gwen. Since she followed them to Sea City this time, it was the perfect opportunity to take revenge on Alice for old and new wrongs together!

But…

Still, she sucked in a deep breath. “Theo, I know you won’t listen even if I ask you not to come. But…“

She pursed her lips. “If you really want to help me, please don’t come to Sea City. Go abroad, to Neil and Nellie’s summer camp, help me take care of them. “

Luna still remembered; Alice told her she had someone stationed beside the children. No matter how smart they were, they were just two young children, when faced with absolute power, they could never escape. Even if they had Zach and Yuri beside them, the two bodyguards were, to be straightforward, simple musclemen. Luna could sleep peacefully at night if she knew Theo was with them.

“Neil and Nellie…“ Theo frowned, hesitating slightly. “Are they in danger?”

“Perhaps.” Luna sucked in a deep breath. “You know how important the children are to me. I’m not afraid of what Alice will do to me, but I’m worried that she’ll harm my children at the same time that she’s targeting me.”

For a long while, there was nothing but silence from the other end of the phone. A moment later, Theo sighed, “Then, you be careful. I’ll buy my tickets now and fly over to see them.”

Then, he could not help himself and asked, “How long do I have to be there to protect them?”

“Wait for me. I’ll fly over and meet you there when I can.”

“Alright.” After another long moment of silence, Theo sighed, “Be careful when you’re in Sea City.”

“I will.“ After reminding Theo of some important details, Luna finally hung up. Putting away her phone, she closed her eyes and leaned back on the leather upholstery of the car, her thoughts in a mess.

If not for what happened to Gwen, maybe she… would not consider taking revenge against Alice. She was a woman too, she understood too well how painful it was to go through what Gwen experienced. And the source of this pain was Alice’s hatred towards Luna. If this time she did not make Alice show her true colors and force Joshua to expose her true identity, all the pain that Gwen suffered would be in vain.

She intentionally sent Theo abroad because of this too. One of her friends had already suffered. If unfortunately, she failed, she did not want to drag Theo down with her.

“What are you thinking about?“ All of a sudden, Luke’s voice dragged Luna’s mind back to the present. She opened her eyes and smiled in his direction. “I heard you have been busy getting rid of the Walter family’s and Liam Clark’s remaining followers?“

Luke laughed, “Why?“

Luna raised her eyes, looking at him calmly and indifferently. “I can help you.“

The man lifted his eyebrows, opened the car door and climbed back into the passenger seat, then raised his eyes and looked forward. “How?“

By the time Luna and Luke finished discussing Alice, it was already past 11 a.m. The moment the conversation between them ended, Luke’s phone rang, it was a call from Gwen. Luke pressed the button for the loudspeaker.

“This is Luke Larson.“

The woman’s voice drifting from the other end of the phone was still very weak, her breath unsteady. “ Are you lying to me again? You said Luna is here, where is she? Luke, I ‘m begging you, please don’t treat me like a fool again, please?“

At Gwen’s words, Liam could not help himself and raised his eyebrows at Luna. “Say something.“

Luna licked her lips and sucked in a deep breath. “

Gwennie.“

The woman on the other end of the phone remained silent for several seconds then a trace of excitement and happiness seeped into her breathless voice. “ Luna! You’re really here?“

“Yeah.“ Luna smiled. “Something happened and I got delayed, I ‘m at the hospital, right downstairs, I ‘ll go up to see you now. “ With that, she hung up the phone and gazed at Luke deeply. “Lead the way. “

Luke laughed scornfully, “No matter what, I ‘m the leader of the biggest gang in Sea City. Only two people can order me to serve them using this tone of voice, Gwen is the first one, and you’re the second.“

Luna curled her lips in a smile. “All thanks to Gwen, it’s your own fault for falling for her.“

The moment her words left her mouth, the smile on Lucas’s face froze. He stuck his hands into his pockets, lifted his legs, and strode ahead. “ Nonsense.“

Luna hooked the corners of her lips up in a smile but said nothing. She saw everything that Luke did for Gwen. If he was only nice to her because of Joshua’s previous request, then he would not go the extra mile for her.

The two of them rode the elevator upstairs. The moment the doors to the elevator opened, Luna spotted Gwen who had been waiting for them by the entrance to the elevators, sitting in her wheelchair.

“Luna! “ A red flush blossomed across the woman’s pale face, a lively light entering her dull eyes. “You really came! “

Luna could not hide the excitement in her heart, she strode forward and placed her arms around Gwen in a soft hug. “How are you?“

“No… not very well.“ Gwen held in the tears swimming in her eyes, reached out, and held Luna’s hands. “I always wanted to tell you. I remember now, what was written on the piece of paper I gave you! “

Luna paused.

She still remembered the ‘love letter’ that Gwen stuffed into her hands when she was drunk. That night, after she sent Gwen home, Liam Clark caught her with the letter. Later, Liam took a photo of the letter then set it on fire. And the next day, tragedy struck Gwen.

She still did not know the contents of the letter. The next day, because of the trauma Gwen suffered, she experienced short-term memory loss, and coincidentally forgot the contents of the letter.

And now Gwen said she remembered.

“Luke.“

When Luna was still stuck in her daze, Gwen raised her eyes and side -eyed Luke. “Can you give us some privacy?“

Luke motioned to the caretaker who was pushing Gwen’s wheelchair. The caretaker hurriedly retracted her hands from the handle of the wheelchair, then turned around respectfully and left.

Luke took a cigarette out of his pocket and was about to light it when he unconsciously glanced at Gwen. Finally, he stuffed the cigarette back into its packet and then swept his eyes across at Luna coldly. “I booked the entire floor, there is no one else here except the two of you. You can say anything you want here, it’s very safe.“ Luke looked at Luna

meaningfully. “Take good care of her.“ With that, he turned and left.

When the numbers on the elevator panel Luke was riding in started to change, Gwen finally let out a deep breath, raised her head, and looked at Luna. ” The contents of the letter I gave you is… ”

Luna sighed faintly, raised her hand, and started pushing Gwen’s wheelchair . ”In the letter , you told me you found out the real Hailey Walter is actually Joshua’s current wife, Alice Gibson, am I right?”

Luna’s calm and indifferent voice stunned Gwen. She turned her head and looked at Luna in shock. ”You… you already know?”

”Yeah.” Luna wheeled her slowly along the hallway, a trace of melancholy in her voice. ”Even till now, I haven’t read the contents of your letter. But I found out about the truth in the past few weeks or so.”

Back then when the Walter family read the contents of the letter, they risked the danger of Joshua exacting revenge on them again and attacked Gwen once more. It was obvious the information that Gwen held was critical to the Walter family. And what they feared the most, was the exposure of Alice’s identity. The cause of death of the puppet that impersonated Hailey could not have been suicide. With an identity like hers, she would definitely know who the real Hailey Walter was. That was why Dennis would kill the puppet in a murderous rage, to create the illusion that she was dead. Then they took a huge risk and again plotted to harm Gwen. After returning to Banyan City, the Walter family started to plan, wanting to plant the identity of Hailey Walter on someone else.

Luna sighed, “Gwennie, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault.“ If she did not return to Sea City, if she did not reunite with Gwen… Gwen would still be the perfect, loving couple with Ben Zeller. She would not discover the Walter family’s secret, and such a tragedy would not have befallen her.“

“There’s no need to apologize…“ Gwen shook her head, a wry smile appearing on her pale face. “I cou1d’ve chosen to ignore you when you approached me. Even after I discovered this information, I could’ve acted like I didn’t know anything and not tell you.“

“These are all my own choices, it’s not your fault, it’s not anyone’s fault. This is my
