Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 168

By the time Joshua, Luna, Neil, and Nellie came out of the kindergarten, the crowd of parents waiting outside had dispersed.

Lucas, obediently waiting outside, froze momentarily i n shock when he saw the two adults and two children emerging out of the building.

'Why are Joshua and Luna together again? They had just parted ways last night and even fought this morning.' Lucas thought to himself, flummoxed at the sight. He could still picture the solemn look on Joshua's face when he returned to the ward this morning. Did they somehow manage to make up in just a few hours?

Joshua hoisted Nellie into his arms and slid into the backseat.

Neil, seemingly trying to avoid Joshua, opened the passenger side door in a swift motion and sat in the front passenger seat.

Luna paused. After a moment’s hesitation, however, she opened the car door and got into the backseat.

Joshua was on the left while Luna was on the right, with Nellie wedged in between them.

"Thank you, Daddy!" Nellie gazed at her father with an awestruck look in her eyes. "I wouldn't have lied if I had known you’d let me have fried chicken!"

Joshua squinted at her and cupped her tiny hand with his large one. "In the future, you should be honest with me about anything you want. Don't lie to me."

Nellie lowered her head in shame and muttered, "Okay 99

"Most importantly, you shouldn’t lie about getting hurt, understand?”

"Then...what if I do get hurt?"

Joshua stared at her little finger painted in bright red nail polish. "Well, in that case, Daddy will be very sad." After a pause, he added, "I’ll make sure whoever hurt you gets taught a lesson.” There was a hint of tenderness in his low voice.

Nellie pursed her lips in approval. She snuck a glance at Luna and said, "See, Aunty, my Daddy is the best."
