Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy novel Chapter 280

This was Alice and Joshua’s first meal together alone. Alice could not hide her excitement and kept offering Joshua more food during their meal. Joshua had wanted to talk to her about what happened on this day, but seeing how enthusiastic she was, he could not bear to bring it up.

After he finished his food, Joshua set down his cutlery. “Alice, I have something to tell you.“

Alice was in the middle of clearing the table as she handed the dirty plates to a servant and smiled at him. “Can’t it wait? What’s so urgent that you have to bring it up right here?“

“There was a surveillance camera in the art gallery that day.“ Joshua gave her a meaningful look. “The painting Luna ruined was a fake one. However, there was a pinhole camera embedded in the painting.“

Alice’s hands stiffened at that. Then, after a moment, she let out a strained laugh. “How’s that possible…“

Theo was there on the day Luna ruined the painting. I f he did have surveillance footage of the entire incident, why did he not provide it as evidence?

“That’s all I want to say. “ Joshua stared at her. “We used to be honest with each other in the past. You used to tell me everything. It was because of our shared honesty that I could trust you, and I was willing to help you and support you in everything.

“Now, I don’t know who you’ve become anymore. “

With that, Joshua stood up and turned around to leave.

Alice clenched her teeth. “Where do you think you’re going?“

Joshua paused mid-step, but after a moment, he continued walking. “Since you’re not truthful to me, I don’t think I’m obliged to tell you everything either.“

Alice’s expression darkened as she watched the man’s retreating figure. Finally, she stormed upstairs and into her room. She pulled open the bottom drawer of her nightstand and took out a phone. “Mr. Walter, stop everything, “ she snapped into the phone.

Alice knew Joshua would not lie to her about this. However, if Luna had surveillance footage of what truly happened that night, all her plans would be ruined. She could not take this risk.

Luna had a reason for this arrangement. She was afraid that if Neil and Nellie were to come over in the future, they would make too much noise and end up disturbing Theo. Besides, Luna wanted to keep a respectful distance from him. Therefore, she decided that it was best to live a few doors down from him instead.

Theo seemed to understand that, so he did not insist on coining in but instead went back to his unit. Luna let out a sigh of relief, reached for her keys, and unlocked the door.

Just as her door swung open, she heard footsteps behind her, followed by the sound of her suitcase being pushed. Thinking it was Theo, Luna let out a laugh and said, “I thought you wanted to go home. “

She pushed the door open and stepped aside. The person behind her wheeled her suitcase into the dark house. The entire place was pitch black, so Luna fumbled around in the dark until she found the light switch and flipped it on.

Just as the lights came on, the door behind her slammed shut with a loud thud. She furrowed her brows in mild irritation. She turned around and said, “Theo, didn’t you say…”

Luna’s voice trailed off as she finally laid eyes on the man standing before her. Joshua plopped onto the couch in a swift and graceful motion, shooting her a cold glance. “Why do you look so disappointed to see me?”
