Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1313
Joshua’s deep voice carried a twinge of arrogance. It made Adrian and Michael both shudder. Everything went silent for a moment inside the room.
Adrian was the first to finally regain his composure. He forced out a smile and said, “You’re kidding, right, Joshua? No matter what, Celia is your aunt, my wife, and Michael’s mother… She didn’t do anything harmful, so why did you send her to the police station?“
Joshua crossed his arms around his chest and swept his cold glance over Adrian’s wet clothes. “Where have you been?“
Adrian let out an awkward smile. “I…I…I didn’t go anywhere.“
Joshua’s aura was so strong and domineering that it seemed to suffocate the people around him.
Adrian was so nervous that he started shaking. He followed Joshua’s gaze, which was locked on his clothes, and immediately replied, “Just now, I… Just now, I accidentally fell into a man-made lake.“

With that, Adrian turned around and looked at Joshua expectantly. “Aren’t I right, Joshua?”
Joshua could not help but smirk at Adrian’s words. The situation was already bad, yet Adrian was still using ‘family’ as an excuse in hopes that Joshua would let Celia go.
