CHAPTER 1946

Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1946

Malcolm widened his eyes in shock upon hearing this

His entire body froze as though he had been struck by lightning as he stared at Luna dazedly. For a

split second, he stopped struggling against Sean’s grip.

A few moments later, Malcolm furrowed his brows and finally found his voice. “I didn‘t! Luna, I never

intended to take you and Joshua’s daughter away at all! It was all Heather… Material © of .

“Heather and Hunter had planned this on their own, and I… I only found out about this after that…”

Luna could not help curling her lips into a sneer as she stared at Malcolm’s pale face. “Malcolm, you

keep accusing me of being ungrateful and cruel, but what are you doing now?

“Even until this point, you‘re still lying to my face!”

Luna’s expression darkened as she continued, “Do you still think I‘m as naïve as I used to think and will

still believe every word that comes out of your mouth?”

She narrowed her eyes and snapped through gritted teeth, “You claim that Heather and Hunter had

planned this on their own, but how would they even have been able to cooperate if it weren’t for your

help?

“Do you think I don‘t know how close they are in real life?

“Hunter stays at home all the time and only listens to your orders, so much so that even sometimes

when you and Granny Quinn have a conflict of opinions, he‘ll give up trying to please Granny Quinn

and choose you instead. After being in Merchant City for so long, I‘ve seen this happen so many times

that it‘s burned into my memory now.

“Now, you‘re telling me that Hunter had coordinated this plan with Heather behind your back. Do you

think I‘m an idiot?”

Even though Luna did not raise her voice, every single one of her words still felt like a hammer landing

on Malcolm‘s heart.

He bit his lip and stared at her blankly. “You…”

The furious look on her face made Malcolm swallow all the words he had wanted to say, a split second

later, he lowered his head and said somewhat flatly, “… Yes, I was the one who had planned this, but I

hadn‘t intended to use this against you, Luna; I had wanted to use the baby to threaten Joshua! I was

doing this for the Quinn and Landry family. 7–”

“There’s no need to explain,” Luna interrupted curtly. “Your initial plan had been to steal my child and

use her to threaten Joshua.

“It seems that you never took my feelings into account at all since the beginning.”

With that, she turned and strode back up the stairs. “Since you‘ve never considered my feelings and

instead treated me like a tool, I don‘t need to help you at all.

“You should leave after taking the money Joshua promised you; I‘m tired and want to rest now.”

By the time she finished her sentence, Luna had already disappeared up the last flight of stairs.

Malcolm bit his lip, staring in the direction Luna had left like he was a frozen statue.

He turned to glance at Joshua with a helpless look. “Mr. Lynch… I can‘t possibly leave your house.

There‘s nowhere else I can hide here in Merchant City apart from here!”

Joshua glanced at him impassively. “Actually, you have one last option. You can go try your luck

outside

the city.”

With that, he, too, turned and left without looking back.

Malcolm stared dazedly at Joshua‘s retreating figure and murmured the words that Joshua had said

over and over, “Outside the city… Outside the city…”

All of a sudden, his entire face lit up.

Joshua was right! He could leave Merchant City. His father, Samuel, was still living in the church on the

outskirts of the city!
