CHAPTER 1518
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1518
“How are we different?
“Both Luna’s child and I have both the Landry and Lynch family’s blood coursing through our veins!
“On top of that, what about my birth mother?“
Jim fixated his cold, penetrating stare on Charles’ face. “My mother Lucy was also a Lynch, and she’s
even the daughter of Granny Lynch.
“Why don’t you kick me out of the house and get rid of the painting in the living room, as well as the
morning glories in the yard?“
Jim’s every word struck a nerve within Charles. He flung his entire body backward—
Smack!
A deafening slap landed on Jim’s face. Charles had used so much strength in this motion that Jim’s
entire body faltered.
Jim kept his hand on his swollen cheek and said, blood trickling out of the corner of his mouth, “ What’s
wrong, Mr. Landry? Guilty?
“You didn’t accomplish much in your lifetime, apart from harnessing the ability to make the lives of the
people around you more difficult. I must say, you’re getting better and better at this.
“In the past, Mother was the victim, and now it’s Luna and me. What about the future?
“Are you going to wait for Luna’s child to be born and make its life difficult as well?“
Charles was so furious that he had to hold onto a handrail to prevent himself from collapsing. He
started to breathe heavily at this point.
Heather noticed this and quickly walked over to help him up. As she did this, she glanced at Jim and
Luna, frowning, and said, “Jim, why did you say
something like that?
“Father is upset because Joshua Lynch tried to murder Mother today, so he’s forcing Luna to swear
never to see him again.
“Why are you doing this? You’ve put Father and Luna on opposite sides now.
“Maybe Luna is actually willing to swear on her child’s life.“
With that, Heather approached them and stared intently at Luna. “Look at this, Luna. Father and Jim
are arguing because of your unwillingness to make this vow.
“If Mother wakes up and sees what has happened, she’ll be devastated…
“On top of that…“
Heather lowered her head, her gaze falling on Luna’s belly. “Your child has survived against all odds.
Maybe even after making this vow, it’ll be fine. “Or maybe…“
A glint flashed through Heather’s eyes, and she said in a lilting voice, “Or maybe you love Joshua so
much
that you’re willing to forgive him, even though he killed your birth mother, and you’re still longing to see
him. Is that why you don’t want to make this vow?“
Luna bit her lip and enunciated, staring intently at Heather, “Even if none of this happened, I would Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
never meet up with Joshua again in the future!
“However, I will not swear on my child’s life! “
This was a human life, not a tool to be used for betting!
Charles narrowed his eyes and said, a sneer playing on his lips, “Since you’re not willing to make this
vow, and you’re still intending to meet up with the man who almost killed your mother…
“Then I guess there’s no need to keep this child anymore.“
With that, he glanced at Heather. “Heather, get me an obstetrician.“
“Alright.“ Heather stood up and said, staring at Luna with a pitiful expression, “Don’t worry, Luna, this
hospital has the best obstetricians, and they’ll be able to get rid of the child within half an hour.“
With that, she turned and strode away.
Luna kneeled on the ground, listening to the sound of Heather’s heels fading in the distance. She felt
as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart.
She knew that Charles was dead serious about this matter.
The baby in her belly…
Luna let out an exhale and lifted her head. Then, she raised her right hand and said with red-rimmed
eyes, ”Alright, I’ll swear on my baby’s life.”
