Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 243

At dawn the next day, Joshua was awakened by Nellie who was lying in his arms.

The little girl poked her finger into his cheek. "Daddy, why are you so handsome?”

Her childish ways drew a chuckle out of him. With sleep still in his eyes, he ruffled her hair softly. "Isn't it nice to have a handsome Daddy?"

"Of course, it is!" Nellie smiled, her eyes slanting upwards into little crescents, and held his face, planting a kiss on his cheek. "You’ll look even better if you can release Aunty Luna."

At the little girl's mention of Luna, Joshua's gaze turned dark. He glanced at Nellie. "Do you want her to be released so badly?"

"Yeah!” Nellie hugged his arm. "Since I could remember, she was the one who has been taking care of me, if she wasn't nice to me, I wouldn't appear in front of you, happy and healthy, am I right? She's so nice to me, I can't bear to see her suffer.”

He frowned. He saw with his own two eyes how nice Luna was to Nellie. She was actually a kind woman. But, why did she do something like that all those years ago...

The little girl's dark eyes were trained on Joshua." Daddy, can you let Aunty Luna go?"

Sighing, he patted her head gently, "This isn't something I can decide alone.”

Both him and Alice were the victims in this case. It was useless if he alone forgave Luna because the one who was hurt the most was Alice.

"Then if Aunty Alice doesn’t want to take action anymore, will you stop too, Daddy?” Nellie asked him, her big eyes looking at him expectantly.

Joshua remained quiet for a long while. A second later, he nodded. "If she doesn't want to take action anymore, I won't either.”

"You promised!" With that, Nellie climbed out of bed, and flew into the bathroom to wash up.

Looking at the little girl's retreating back, Joshua shook his head and followed her into the bathroom to wash his face.

When he carried Nellie downstairs for breakfast, Neil and Alice were already seated at the dining table.
