Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 264

Joshua asked with a frown.

"Well, it’s either she has ulterior motives or that she's a saint," said Jude as he leaned back against the couch in Joshua's office. "Although, from what I know about her, I don't think it's the latter."

Joshua was sitting in his office chair as he gazed off into the distance. "Maybe she has ulterior motives..."

If that was it, what was she after?

Jude shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch and shot Joshua a glance. "You know, I'm not that bad-looking myself, but why are all the women always after you?"

Joshua picked up his cup and took a sip of his coffee." What are you trying to say?"

"The eldest daughter of the Walters, Hailey has gone missing." Jude yawned and gave a stretch. He raised his eyebrows at Joshua before he continued, "Mr.

Walter wanted me to ask you if you'd seen her lately."

"Nope." Joshua furrowed his brows. "I haven't seen her in a long time.” Joshua recalled that the last time he saw her was at his and Luna’s wedding.

"I haven’t seen her in a long time either, and I think it’s been six or seven years, too. I heard that she’s obsessed with plastic surgery. Apparently, nowadays,

she’s either at the hospital getting yet another surgery or on her way there." 2

Jude continued, "Both your families had an arranged marriage long before the two of you were born. I know that she's always wanted to marry you, and word has i t that she hasn’t settled down yet. Now that she's disappeared, I thought that she'd be with you or something."

Joshua gave him a slight smirk. "Well, if she comes to me, I’ll let you know." All of a sudden, he seemed to recall something. He lifted his head and glanced at Jude. "Hey, why don't you come over for dinner tonight? You didn't even get to attend my wedding all those years ago, so why don't you come over tonight and get to know Alice and the kids?"

Jude waved his hand dismissively. "Sorry, I can't make it tonight. Maybe some other time."

Night fell. The entire city seemed to settle down as the sky grew darker and darker. The Lynch Group Tower, however, still bustled with activity.

When Alice called for the third time that night, Joshua finally let out a sigh and put down the documents he was reading.
