It turned out the child in Luna’s womb was his all along.
She had not slept with Theo at all!
Joshua could not believe that Alice had managed to trick him into believing the father of Luna’s baby was Theo.
Joshua would never forgive himself if he ended up losing his unborn child!
It was already late at night, so the streets were empty, apart from Joshua’s car. He whizzed through the open roads, heading straight toward the airport, with Luke following closely behind.
Luke was worried about Joshua, so he immediately followed as soon as he saw him leaving the hospital.
“This man has gone crazy! “ Luke flung his cigarette away and stepped on the gas pedal, trying to catch up with Joshua.
However, no matter how fast his car went, he could not keep up with Joshua at all.
Suddenly, Joshua’s phone rang.
It was Lucas.
Joshua slowed his car down slightly and picked up the phone. “How’s Neil and Nellie?“
Lucas lowered his voice, “I managed to get in touch with Zach and Yuri. It… doesn’t seem good.“
Joshua immediately furrowed his brows. ”What do you mean, ‘it doesn’t seem good’? Are Neil and Nellie safe?”
”Nellie… is safe and sound. ” Joshua could tell that Lucas was mincing his words as though there was something he wanted to say yet, at the same time, did not dare to.
Finally, Lucas let out an exhale and said, ”Theo was there with them. Initially, he wanted to bring Neil and Nellie away, but he discovered that their bodyguards were Alice’s men, so they decided to split up instead. Zach and Yuri took Nellie along with them and pretended to leave the country, but in reality, they had been hiding in a house across from Neil and Nellie’s summer camp all this while.
”Alice’s men found Theo and Neil, but… They couldn’t escape and instead got trapped inside the summer house. They… ”
Lucas paused for a moment, then continued in a choked voice, ”They poured gasoline all over the house and set it on fire. The fire caused a gigantic explosion… The firefighters couldn’t even get in at all. Theo and Neil… don’ t have much of a fighting chance.
The glimmer of hope in Joshua’s eyes dimmed when he heard this. “Then, Neil…“
“The firefighters managed to put out the fire. They couldn’t find Theo or Neil’s bodies, but they discovered some human remains at the scene.
Unfortunately, the DNA from the remains was so badly damaged that the scientists can’t even confirm if the remains belong to them.
“But they’ve confirmed that the blood at the crime scene belongs to Theo and Neil. The police suspect that when the fire started, Theo and Neil didn’t want to stay put and burn to death, so they opened the window to escape. However, someone planted explosives outside the window, and as soon as they opened it, the bomb went off— “
Joshua leaned against his headboard, his usually towering silhouette looking small and frail. He closed his eyes, and tears trickled out of the corner of his eyes. “Then, what about Nellie?“
“Nellie’s traumatized by everything that has happened, and she’s receiving counseling right now.“ Luke let out an exhale. “But, Joshua, now’s not the time to be sad. You…“
He tried to keep his voice steady as he delivered the most shocking news, “You have another son, but he’s been diagnosed with leukemia. His condition worsened today, and the doctors managed to save him, although just barely.
“You can’t give up.“

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
