Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 256

Joshua lifted his gaze and glanced in the direction where Luna and Theo had walked off from, their
hands still intertwined. They had known each other for just a few minutes, yet they held hands like a
couple would!

Joshua could not help but frown at the sight.

“Joshua… Did you really not see anything? “ asked Alice tentatively as they made their way down the
stairs, her hand still clutching his arm.

Joshua stared blankly ahead. “What do you think?“

Alice bit her lip and remained silent. After a moment, she said, “Actually, I— “

“I know, “ Joshua gently interrupted her. “I know that you’re trying to take revenge on Luna for kidnapping
your kids, but this will be the first and last time, Alice.“

He let out a deep sigh before continuing, “If you’re still holding a grudge against her, you shouldn’t have
asked me to let her out. Now that we’ve released her, you shouldn’t be trying to take revenge on her.“ His
voice was low and solemn.

Alice chewed her lip nervously. “Alright, I won’t let this happen again.“

She would be more careful next time.

Joshua could tell she was upset. He sighed and gently patted her hand. “I know that you’re still the kind
and thoughtful woman I used to know, so don’t do this ever again.“

The two then walked out of the art gallery and were met with fresh air. Joshua lifted his head to gaze at
the city lights that blinked in the distance. “I’ll ask Lucas to send you home.“



Alice paused for a moment and said with a tone of slight displeasure, “Do you have to work overtime
tonight?“

“Yes, “ murmured Joshua as he rubbed his eyebrows with an air of exhaustion. “I have a meeting tonight
with some foreign companies.“

“You’ve been working overtime for two nights in a row now, “ Alice protested. She bit her bottom lip and
tugged his arm in an attempt to coax him. “We haven’t managed to spend time together ever since I
returned…“

“It’s not like we’re ever going to be separated again in the future, so why are you so worried?“ Joshua
stroked her hair gently before he gestured at someone in the distance.

Lucas drove the car over. “Let’s go, Mrs. Lynch.“

Alice was reluctant to leave, but she had no other choice. She got into the car and said to Joshua, “Try to
come home as soon as you can, darling.“

Joshua nodded and waved at her. “Sleep early tonight.“

Lucas started the car and drove off, leaving Joshua standing at the entrance of the art gallery as he
stared off in the direction of the retreating vehicle. There was a twinge of sadness in his heart.

The Luna he knew would not have done what she did.

No matter how much hatred she harbored, she would not have ruined someone’s artwork to get revenge
against someone else. Moreover, Theo Allen was her favorite artist, and ‘The Girl with the Kite’ was his
most famous painting.

Joshua was confused. This woman had turned from a kind, compassionate art fanatic into a revenge-
seeking maniac. Could six years change someone that much? “I ‘ve loved all of your paintings ever since



the first one. I’m such a huge fan!“ A familiar voice pulled Joshua back to reality.

Joshua tilted his head and caught sight of the woman in a flowing white dress walking side by side with
Theo.

The strands of her long hair fluttered with the gentle night breeze. The dim street lights illuminated the
awestruck look in her eyes. “I ‘ve always wanted to become as talented an artist as you.“

Her expression amused Theo. “It’s my pleasure to have a fan like you.“ He glanced at his watch and said
to Luna, “It’s getting late now. Why don’t I give you a ride home?“

Luna wanted to decline his offer, but when she turned around, she caught a glimpse of the tall silhouette
that stood under a street light. It was Joshua.

He stood there motionless, his shadow long, slender, and somewhat melancholic. Although she could
not make out his face, she could feel his gaze on her.

She turned back to face Theo and gave him a polite smile. “I’d appreciate that, thank you.”

Theo took her to his car, and the two departed in the direction of Anne’s house.

With an air of displeasure, Joshua lit a cigarette. Then, after taking a few puffs, he put it out and got into
his own car. He started the engine and left in the same direction as Theo’s car.
