Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 141

"I don't like it."

Joshua frowned and ripped her arms off of his neck." I'm afraid your plan won't work. Maybe if you asked before last night, I might've considered your suggestion. But after last night..."

He placed his lips beside her ear, his low voice coupled together with his hot breath flowing into her ears, "I know you're with Malcolm Quinn. Do you think I would keep someone loyal to my opponent beside m e and allow you to work against me?"

With that, he turned his head coldly and prepared to leave.

However, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes seemed to be challenging him. "Are you that insecure?"

He frowned and looked at her, saying nothing.

Her lips curved up in a smile. "I'm just a woman, you've run your background checks on me, you should know by now what I'm capable of. And yet you're afraid I would steal your company secrets, what else is it, if you’re not insecure?"

She purposely pulled out the last word, trying to hook his slightly wavering heart. 2

Joshua narrowed his eyes at her and laughed.

"This won’t work on me."

He pulled her hand from his collar, and buttoned up his shirt properly. "Since you're awake, tidy yourself u p and leave. Didn’t you agree to leave after the birthday party, never to return?"

With that, he turned and left with an elegant stride of his feet.

Luna stood on the spot, looking at his retreating back and bit her lip.

A long time after he left, she finally roused herself and went into the bathroom, washed herself and walked downstairs.

In the dining room, the little girl was busy eating her cereal in her pink nightgown.

Seeing her mother, Nellie pointed at the bowl of uneaten cereal in front of her. "Come and have your breakfast.”

She paused, wiping the emotion off her face and sat down in front of her daughter with a smile. "You just woke up?"

"I've been up for a long time..."

Nellie lowered her head, carefully placing the cereal in her mouth. "Just now... I hear you arguing with Daddy, he's chasing you out..."

Luna stiffened.
