Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 2

At the mention of her eldest son, Luna’s heart ached.

She smiled bitterly. "Someone is taking care of him back there. We might stay a little longer this time."

She had to take care of some issues.

Six years ago, Joshua and Aura colluded to try and kill her, even though she was three months pregnant.

After news of her 'death' was announced to the public, Aura even shamelessly produced her so-called will as proof she committed suicide.

The reason for her supposed suicide was because she betrayed Joshua and felt guilty.

Ridiculous. The true traitor lived happily whilst she had to carry the brand of a cheater even in her 'death'. For everything they owed her, she would make them pay with their blood!

Of course, there was also Nigel's body...

The woman sighed heavily as she turned toward

Anne. "How's the job opening I asked you to look into?"

Anne looked slightly awkward. "I asked someone to inquire into it, but at the moment, there’s no opening for any position in the Lynch Group except..."

"Except for a cleaner."

Luna’s lips curled into a smile. "I’ll be a cleaner, then."

"How can you do that?" Anne understood well enough the hardships Luna went through these past few years.

Six years ago, she struggled to survive after her accident. She waited until her three children were born before she started her plastic surgery and physiotherapy, and then began a new life.

She eventually became a renowned jewelry designer i n Europe, but all of a sudden, she gave up her fame and glory and announced her retirement, returning to Banyan City under her own name...

And now she wanted to work at the Lynch Group as a cleaner?

"Actually, there are plenty of suitable jobs for you here at Banyan City besides at the Lynch Group..."

Luna shook her head. "I only want to join the Lynch Group."

The apartment that Anne found for Luna belonged to her relative, and it stood empty all year round. It was not far from the city center, and it was fairly spacious with three rooms and a living room.

Luna and her two children entered the apartment and spent half the day cleaning and tidying things up, and by the time they were done, it was already afternoon.

"Neil, take care of your sister. I'm going out to buy some daily necessities." "Okay!"

After the door closed behind her, the two children rushed to switch on the laptop as Joshua’s interview played on the laptop screen.

"Neil, is this Daddy?" Nellie hugged her furry teddy bear to her chest and bit her lip. "You're right, between the three of us, he looks the most similar to me."

"Yeah." Neil raised his eyes, looked at the man on the screen, and squinted. "Do you remember what I taught you?"

"Yeah!" Nellie nodded as she balled her fists, and her cute, childish voice sounded serious as she spoke, "I’ll act as best as I can!"

After she left the neighborhood, Luna hailed a taxi to the nearest department store.

As she headed to the cashier, she heard a familiar woman’s voice, "I didn't expect everyone to be so interested in my and Joshua’s wedding."

The voice came from the large screen in front of the store.

On the screen, Aura explained gently, "We’re both focused on our careers right now and have no time for a wedding ceremony.”

The host laughed as well. "That’s true. Everyone knows you've been together with Mr. Lynch for more than five years. Your feelings for each other run deep and sincere...”

Luna's fingers tightened around the trolley handle.

Six years ago, in the will that they forged, she requested Joshua to marry Aura and take care of her forever. That was how they got engaged, openly and honestly. Luna's heart ached against her will at the thought.

Even though they betrayed her, they were shameless enough to make up such a noble-sounding excuse whilst she had to live while she hid her real name and identity,

She was so lost in her thoughts that the trolley she pushed had crashed against someone.
