Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)

Chapter 264

Joshua asked with a frown.

“Well, it’s either she has ulterior motives or that she’s a saint,“ said Jude as he leaned back against the

couch in Joshua’s office. “Although, from what I know about her, I don’t think it’s the latter.“

Joshua was sitting in his office chair as he gazed off into the distance. “Maybe she has ulterior

motives…“

If that was it, what was she after?

Jude shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch and shot Joshua a glance. “You know, I’m

not that bad-looking myself, but why are all the women always after you?“

Joshua picked up his cup and took a sip of his coffee. “What are you trying to say?“

“The eldest daughter of the Walters, Hailey has gone missing. “ Jude yawned and gave a stretch. He

raised his eyebrows at Joshua before he continued, “Mr.

Walter wanted me to ask you if you’d seen her lately.“

“Nope.“ Joshua furrowed his brows. “I haven’t seen her in a long time.“ Joshua recalled that the last

time he saw her was at his and Luna’s wedding.

“I haven’t seen her in a long time either, and I think it’s been six or seven years, too. I heard that she’s

obsessed with plastic surgery. Apparently,

nowadays, she’s either at the hospital getting yet another surgery or on her way there.“

Jude continued, “Both your families had an arranged marriage long before the two of you were born. I

know that she’s always wanted to marry you, and word has it that she hasn’t settled down yet. Now that

she’s disappeared, I thought that she’d be with you or something.“

Joshua gave him a slight smirk. “Well, if she comes to me, I’ll let you know.“ All of a sudden, he

seemed to recall something. He lifted his head and glanced at Jude. “Hey, why don’t you come over for

dinner tonight? You didn’t even get to attend my wedding all those years ago, so why don’t you come

over tonight and get to know Alice and the kids?“

Jude waved his hand dismissively. “Sorry, I can’t make it tonight. Maybe some other time.“

Night fell. The entire city seemed to settle down as the sky grew darker and darker. The Lynch Group

Tower, however, still bustled with activity.

When Alice called for the third time that night, Joshua finally let out a sigh and put down the documents

he was reading.

Joshua took the elevator down. When he arrived at the ground floor, he overheard a conversation

between two employees from the design department.

“I don’t know what’s up with her lately. She didn’t come in for work for days on end, but now that she’s

back, she’s been working like a mad woman.“ NôvelDrama.Org content rights.

“Thank God I was quick on my feet. I told her that I had to go home because I had some personal

issues to deal with. Otherwise, we’ll have to stay here and work until God knows what time…“

The two voices grew further away. Joshua frowned upon hearing their complaints and immediately

turned around. He got into the elevator and pressed the button for the 18th floor.

The entire floor was deserted when he got there. The only noise he could hear was the faint rustling of

paper and the sound of a pencil scratching from a corner of the department.

Joshua followed the noises and arrived at Luna’s office, the only bright place on the otherwise dark and

deserted floor. He could see her through the glass window. Luna was sitting in front of an easel, her

gaze focused on the sketch in front of her. She was so engrossed in her drawing that she did not even

notice him watching her.

The dim light from her desk lamp cast shadows on her side profile. The determined and focused

expression on her face was so attractive that she looked like she had just stepped out of a painting.

She looked so beautiful in the dim light that Joshua felt like his heart skipped a beat. This scene

reminded him so much of his wife. Many years ago, he had watched Luna draw and design her

sketches in a similar fashion.

This woman in front of him resembled the Luna he loved so much; down to the glint in her eyes and the

unconscious habit she had of chewing the end of her pencil. Joshua could not help but continue to

stare at her in awe.

After a while, he glanced at the time and decided to approach her before a familiar figure appeared at

the end of the hallway all of a sudden.

Theo, dressed in all white, strode over with a takeout bag in his hand as he gently knocked on Luna’s

office door. “Director Luna, it’s time for dinner.“ Theo’s voice was low and gentle.

Luna perked up at his words. “Hey, why are you here?“

“I didn’t want you to starve, so I brought some dinner.“ Theo walked toward her, all smiles as he set the

paper bag on the table and opened the takeout boxes. “I’ll give you two options: You can eat and finish

your work later, or you can eat and let me take you to my place afterward.“

Luna knew what Theo was trying to say. They had agreed beforehand that she would go over to his

place and look around before deciding if she wanted to move to that area.

She sighed and started clearing her things. “Alright, I choose the second one.“

This whole conversation was misinterpreted by the man standing outside her door. Joshua could not

help but clench his fists at her decision.
