Chapter 1654
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy by Inked Snow
At least Joshua had not said anything that he should not have, unlike how he had acted on the phone in
the afternoon.
After finishing their meal, the three of them left the restaurant.
As she was walking down the stairs, Luna accidentally lost her balance.
Joshua was standing on her left, whereas Theo was on her right.
However, for some reason, Luna did not reach out her dominant right hand and instead extended her
left hand to grab hold of Joshua’s arm for support.
To her surprise, Joshua’s usually lean, muscular arm somehow felt softer than usual. It seemed as
though there was something wrapped around his arm.
Luna immediately lifted her head in surprise when she felt this.
In front of her, Joshua’s brows were furrowed as he shot her a cold glare. “Let go of me.”
His stern voice and cold attitude made Luna feel like her entire body had been submerged in ice.
She immediately let go of him.
“Take care of her; she’s so clumsy,” said Joshua curtly, and without giving Luna a second glance, he
strode down the stairs and left.
Neither Luna nor Theo had noticed Joshua’s pale face when he turned his back toward them.
When Luna grabbed his arm, she had accidentally clasped around his newly sutured wound from the
afternoon, and in trying to maintain her balance, she had grabbed him quite forcefully.
Joshua could already feel his wound start to bleed again from the force.
Therefore, he could not stay any longer.
As he walked, he instructed in a low voice, “Lucas, get me a doctor.”
Lucas understood the amount of pain Luna had accidentally inflicted upon Joshua when she grabbed
him, so he quickly nodded. “Alright, I’m on it.”
Luna stood, watching dazedly as Joshua and Lucas left the scene.
She was so dazed that she had even forgotten to ask Joshua why his arm felt softer than usual.
“Are you okay?” Even Theo was a little puzzled by this sudden turn of events. He walked over, frowning,
and grabbed hold of Luna’s arm. “Let’s go back now.”
Luna glanced in Joshua’s direction once more and could not help feeling a little upset.
She had not…offended him at all, so why was he acting so coldly?
On the way back from Lucky Den, all Luna could think of was Joshua’s cold expression. She recalled
everything she had done from the moment she stepped foot into the restaurant with Theo but still could
not figure out why Joshua had acted like this toward her.
After returning to her house, Luna and Theo had a video call with Dr. Rachel.
Luna was finally relieved to know that Rosalyn had arrived in Lincoln City safely and that everything was
fine.
“Well, actually, it wasn’t totally safe and sound,” Dr. Rachel finally admitted after hesitating for a moment.
“On the country roads right between Merchant City and Lincoln City, a group of cars trailed us.”
Both Luna and Theo froze when they heard this.
Theo furrowed his brows in concern. “Did you get hurt?”
“Well, I wasn’t hurt at all.” Dr. Rachel shook her head, then turned to look at Luna. “However, the man
who escorted us, Mr. Lynch, seemed to have suffered a serious injury on his right arm.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
If she remembered correctly…
She had grabbed onto Joshua’s right arm when she almost fell at Lucky Den.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna stood up and stormed out of the door without even thinking twice.
Theo furrowed his brows. “Where are you going?” “To find Joshua!”
