Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 261

Alice rolled her eyes. What was there to feel accomplished about in making breakfast?

Just as Alice was about to retort, however, she caught sight of the way Joshua stared at Luna. Alarm bells immediately rang in her head. Luna must have said that on purpose!

Alice smiled. "I used to think that way. Although it's a small action, making breakfast for my family gave me the greatest sense of fulfillment ever." She let out a sigh before she continued wistfully, "Unfortunately... I discovered that I couldn't even protect the people I love. I was such a failure. Ever since then, no matter what I did, I couldn’t feel accomplished or fulfilled anymore."

Upon hearing these words, Joshua immediately turned his attention back to her. She was right. Joshua knew that he could not even begin to imagine what Alice had gone through in these six years apart.

Although she had changed and she was no longer the woman he fell in love with, Joshua felt that he should not have doubted her, much less fooled by another woman's words even if just for a split second.

Joshua sighed and glanced at Alice. "It's all in the past now." He silently made up his mind that no matter what it took, he would help her regain her old self again.

Joshua put down his cutlery and stood up. "Let’s go."

His tender gaze made Alice feel triumphant. She grabbed his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder. "Should I go to the Human Resources department first?"

Joshua gave her a gentle smile. "Yes, I'll take you there." With that, the two turned and left.

Before he walked out of the door, however, Joshua turned around and glanced at Luna. "I want to see you i n my office at ten in the morning."

Theo watched as Joshua and Alice's figures retreated. He chuckled. "Well, that was a short encounter." He glanced at his watch. "We still have 20 minutes to spare."
