Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 133

"Luna, you’re drunk." Seated in the corner of a bar, Malcolm glanced at Luna, who was downing yet another pint of beer. "You should stop drinking now.”

Luna pretended like she did n\ot hear him and reached out to grab another glass.

"Stop drinking!" Malcolm couldn't take it anymore and finally extended his arm to snatch the glass away from her. "You know full well that you can’t hold your liquor, so why are you pushing yourself like this?"

Luna gave him a blank stare and let out a chuckle. " Malcolm, it hurts." She drunkenly pointed towards her chest. "It hurts here. I'm so stupid. I thought that he would be different. I thought that people prioritize family over anything else, but..."

She wiped the tears from her face before continuing." Am I too naive? I know that he hates me, but I never thought he would hate his own daughter too... after seeing the way he cared for Nellie when she almost got killed, I thought... I thought that his children meant something to him, but I was wrong, Malcolm."

"Nigel is sick, but I have no other way of helping him o r easing his pain, and now, I can't keep Nellie safe either... I'm such a failure." Luna looked up with sadness etched all over her face. "You shouldn’t have saved me in the first place. If I died..."

If she died, she would not have had to endure all these difficulties. Her children would not have had to suffer alongside her.

"What are you talking about?” Malcolm sighed. He gestured for a waiter to clear the table, then stared at Luna intently. "A rainbow cannot appear without rain. All of these challenges that you're going through right now are paving the way for a better future. Besides, they are also teaching you a lesson... a lesson on who t o trust and who to give up on."

Luna lifted her head to look at Malcolm. Tears started streaming down her face uncontrollably.

"When there's a will, there's a way," Malcolm said, letting out another sigh. "By the way, I've sent someone to track Aura down. If they manage to find her, they will bring her to us. Even if Joshua doesn’t punish her, I will make sure she pays for what she did."
