Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 276

Luna knew Granny Lynch was lying to herself.

"Mr. Lynch never defied you, you say? Many years ago, you wanted him to marry Hailey Walter, yet he ended u p marrying Luna Gibson instead. After she died, you wanted him to retake Hailey as a second wife, but he got engaged with Aura Gibson. You gave him and Aura your blessing, but in the end, they broke up." Luna stared at Granny Lynch impassively. "Mr. Lynch has been defying you all his life. Since when did he listen to you?"

Luna thought her statement would shut Granny Lynch up and that she could finally get back at Granny Lynch for ruining her sketch. To her surprise, however, Granny Lynch chuckled.

"None of the stuff you said was true. In fact, it wasn't m e who wanted Joshua to marry Hailey Walter at all—it was his father's wish. I'm afraid you have no idea how much Joshua respects me." Granny Lynch continued smugly, "Many years ago, when he was married to Luna Gibson, I told him that I wanted greatgrandchildren, but Luna didn't want any. Joshua told me himself that he'd do as I wished.

"Luna Gibson couldn't get pregnant no matter how many times she tried, so I forced her to try traditional remedies some witch doctors prescribed. The witch doctors cast spells on her and even made her eat dirt

and ashes as part of the treatment. Luna Gibson thought all of this happened behind Joshua's back when in reality, Joshua knew and even permitted me t o do so."

Granny Lynch sighed. "I never expected the remedies t o work, but it turned out they did; Luna Gibson managed to get pregnant in the end. No, wait. I shouldn't call her by that name anymore. She’s Alice now. I like this name. She doesn't have to share a name with a b*tch like you anymore."

Luna’s heart grew colder at Granny Lynch's words. She stared at Granny Lynch blankly, her chest rising and falling as she struggled to catch her breath.

All the bad memories locked away in Luna's mind began to resurface. She remembered Granny Lynch berating her and all the torturous regimens she had to endure. She could still recall the feeling of swallowing dirt and ashes as though it had happened yesterday.

At that time, the dirt and ashes she had to consume as part of the traditional remedy damaged the inner lining of her stomach. Luna had spent countless nights tossing and turning, unable to sleep due to the pain. She was even afraid of telling all this to Joshua, lest he becomes upset, and sneaked out on her own to buy medicine for the pain. She never dared to complain about any of this to anyone.
