Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy

Joshua carried Luna into the car.

Luna sat in the back seat in silence throughout the car ride, gazing at the scenery outside the window.

The car pulled further and further away from the city center, heading toward the outskirts.

Luna could not help frowning as she watched the trees go past. “Why would Neil be at such a faraway place?“

Joshua reached out to hold her hand but paused. His hand hung mid-air for a moment, then finally drew it back.

He let out a sigh and said, “So that he can be at peace, with no one disturbing him.“

Luna nodded, thinking that Joshua’s explanation did not seem right yet made sense at the same time. “ Hmm, I guess you’re right! Neil definitely needs some alone time by himself. This child is far too talkative… Even though he’s only six, he acts like a grown-up. Sometimes, I even think he might be older than me.

“He’d always tell me not to stay up too late and forbid me from pulling an all-nighter, like a nagging grown-up. He’d always tell Nellie not to disturb me and ask us all to sleep in and get plenty of rest, but he’d always wake up early to make us breakfast.

“He constantly nags us to take care of our bodies… Nellie always teased him and told him he was acting like an old man. He’s only six, but he’s so talkative all the time. It’s like he’s afraid if he doesn’t talk, he won’t have a chance to do so in the future…“

As soon as she realized what she had said, Luna pursed her lips and did not say anything more.

Everyone grew silent.
