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

Chapter 174

Joshua frowned upon hearing this and sternly replied, “We’ll see in the future.“

“Okay…“ Nellie lowered her head in disappointment.

Adrian could not take the sight of that, though. “ Come, Nellie, I’111et you feed me instead! “

Nellie’s face lit up. She picked up her bowl and sat in front of Adrian. “Open your mouth, Granddad! “

Adrian grinned at her and opened his mouth obediently.

A moment later, Luna had finished eating, so Neil joined Nellie in feeding their grandfather together.

Adrian initially wanted to object to this, but he could not resist denying Nellie and seeing her crestfallen

expression, so he let them do whatever they wanted.

Luna had finished her meal, so she left the table and sat down on the couch. She whipped out her

phone and was about to check the news when she suddenly felt the cushion next to her sink. Joshua

had lowered his tall and slender body onto the seat next to her.

“Give me your hand, “ he ordered in a low voice.

Luna immediately extended her right hand out to him as if she was on autopilot.

It felt like electricity surged in her the minute her hand brushed against Joshua’s rough and broad palm.

She tried to pull her hand back, but his grip on her was tight already.

”Don’t move.” Joshua held her hand in his while the other one reached out to open a first aid kit. He

removed the bandage from the back of her hand to reveal a swollen, red wound. The blister had burst, NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

and her skin was trailing blood.

With a frown, he took out some medicinal ointment and proceeded to apply it to the wound. The cooling

sensation of the ointment seemed to soothe Luna’s pain.

It took her a moment before she could find her voice again. ”Thank you, ” she uttered tentatively.

”If it hurts so much, why didn’t you punish her? Instead, you chose to stand up for her, ” questioned

Joshua with his head lowered as he continued to apply the ointment onto Luna’s skin.

Luna contemplated for a moment before she realized he was talking about Lily. ”You figured it out? ”

she asked him.

”Of course. ” Joshua let out a snicker . ”I know you won’ t make such a careless mistake. ” Even though

Luna had worked at Blue Bay Villa for quite some time, she had never committed a mistake.

Luna shrugged in response. ”She didn’t mean any harm. ” Lily was merely angry at Luna because she

had not contacted Malcolm as much as she should.

”Just because she didn’t mean any harm, you chose t o forgive her even though she did something

wrong? How do you even know if she meant no harm, or if she was just pretending?” There was a hint

of sympathy in Joshua’s stern voice. ”You’d rather be i n pain than let someone who hurt you pay the

price?

Foolish woman.”

Joshua’s low and gravelly voice made Luna feel as if someone had struck a blow to her heart. After a

moment, she lifted her head to look at him. “Mr. Lynch, I wanted to ask you something.”

She took a deep breath and looked straight into his eyes. “Were you sad when Nellie got hurt?”

Joshua nodded. “Of course.”

“Then…” Luna gave a wry smile. “Why did you rather suffer alone than let someone who almost killed

her pay the price? You said I’m a foolish woman, and I agree.”

She lifted her gaze. Joshua’s stunned face was reflected in her clear eyes. “What about you, Mr.

Lynch? Are you a stupid man, then?”
