Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 131

Joshua narrowed his eyes and shot Luna a cold glance. "Don’t be so rude."

He lifted his head and picked up the microphone." Everyone, I'm so sorry that you had to see this.

However, the Lynch family has its own rules and its own ways of dealing with problems like this."

He continued, "We're all gathered here to celebrate Granny Lynch's birthday. Everyone here is a friend or relative of the Lynch family, so I'm sure you're all familiar with how we do things around here. If a single word of this gets out..."

Joshua's gaze turned hostile. "I'm sure you know what will happen."

The crowd grew silent immediately. Everyone glanced at each other, not knowing what to do.

It was obvious what Joshua was trying to convey: not only did he refuse to call the cops, but he did not want to punish Aura either. Instead, he wanted to keep everything on the down-low.

Everyone in the room was puzzled. Joshua insisted that there was nothing going on between him and Aura, yet at the same time, he was willing to show her mercy, despite the fact that she had tried to kill his own daughter. What was going on between the two of them?

Luna stood motionless. Her heart felt as if someone had run a knife across it, and it was now bleeding.

She lifted her head and fixated her wrathful glare on Joshua. "Mr. Lynch! Nellie is your daughter!"

"Yes, I am well aware of that." He glanced at her dismissively and picked up the microphone again. " We're all gathered here today to celebrate Granny Lynch's birthday. It was meant to be a joyous occasion, but unforeseen circumstances have ruined this party. I apologize for that. In order to show my sincerity, I will have my assistant prepare gifts for everyone.”

Joshua glanced at the emcee. "Please keep the party going, but unfortunately, I’ll be leaving now."
