Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 1621

When Luna and Joshua arrived at the cherry blossom tree, it was already 2 a.m.

Lucas and his men used gigantic flashlights to illuminate the night for the two of them.

Initially, Joshua had wanted to use a shovel, but he suddenly recalled that the child they buried underneath the tree did not have a casket and that the shovel might accidentally destroy the child's corpse. Therefore, in the end, he asked Lucas to find them a small spade instead.

It was in the middle of the night, so Lucas had no choice but to send the men out to search for a spade nearby.

However, after Lucas left, Joshua turned around to discover that Luna had already kneeled on the ground and started digging the grave with her bare hands.

A twinge of pain shot through Joshua's eyes as he watched her scrawny figure as well as her hands that possessed only nine fingers digging in the dirt. He let out an exhale and quickly strode over to grab hold of her soiled hands.

Her hands were so soft that after only a few minutes o f rubbing against the dirt, they became bloodied.

Joshua stared at her bloodstained hands and let out a deep sigh. "Let me."

With that, he shoved her aside and started digging the soil himself.

Luna stared at him for a moment, then lowered her head to glance at her bloodstained hands. A split second later, she still reached out and started digging alongside him.

Seeing that she was joining him, Joshua knew that there was no way he could stop her. He let out a sigh and continued digging.

However...

Both Luna and Joshua recalled that they had not buried the child deep in the soil at all, but after digging for half an hour, there was still no sign of the corpse, i

Joshua checked the signpost he had left again and confirmed that they had not been digging in the wrong place.

What was going on?

Joshua fell silent for a moment, then picked up the abandoned shovel and brought it down hard onto the soil—

His guesses were right.

There was nothing buried under the cherry blossom tree apart from layers and layers of soil.
