Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 354
Joshua shifted his gaze to Luna. “The one you should apologize to is her.“
The butler paused, then approached Luna hesitantly.
“Ms. Luna, I— “
“I don’t want your apology. “ Luna raised her head proudly as her cold eyes swept across the butler’s old
and wizened face. “You dare say the rumors you spread about me, the way you discredited me, insulted
me, all of these were done out of your own volition?“
“Of course.“ The butler raised his eyes and looked at Luna. “Besides me and my daughter, could there
be anyone else?“
Luna barked out a cold laugh and did not bother to answer his question nor accept his apology. She
raised her eyes and looked at Joshua, who stood in the distance with his arm around Alice. “If Mr. Lynch
has decided to let it go, then there’s no point in me pursuing this matter any further.

Luna did not know what she was upset about. She was the victim, and the final winner after the rumors

Joshua lowered his eyes, raised his hand slowly, and caressed the face he had longed for six years.
“You’re right. We shouldn’t give up on the relationship

Alice remained in place. Instinctively placing her hands on the spot where his hands rested on her

Raising her eyes, she looked at Dennis, who was drinking and stuck in a conversation with Joshua on
the second floor.
