Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 257

“I’m just curious, “ mused Luna as she sat in the passenger seat and gazed out at the road in front of her.
“How did you know I wasn’t the one who ruined your painting?“

Theo smiled in response as his hands gripped the steering wheel. “What if I told you, I believe that Moon
isn’t that kind of person?“

Luna froze momentarily at his reply before a chuckle escaped her lips. “Mr. Allen is familiar with me?“

“I used to be interested in jewelry design as well, and I tried it for a while, but I eventually gave up
because it was too hard. During that time, I did a lot of research on my own, so I was acquainted with
your work. To say that Moon is a household name in the field of jewelry design won’t be an
exaggeration.“

Luna was surprised to hear that, but after pondering over it for a few moments, she thought it made
sense. If not for the fact that he recognized her as Moon, Theo probably would not have rescued her
back there, much less offered to send her home.

Her lips curled into a faint smile. “What a small world.“

“I did a lot of self-studying when I was young, thankfully. If I hadn’t, I would’ve missed out on the
opportunity to acquaint myself with a master

today.“ Theo’s voice was soft and gentle as he continued, “Although, that wasn’t the only reason I knew
you didn’t ruin my painting.“

Luna tilted her head to look at him.

“The painting that you ruined just now wasn’t the real one.“



There was a hint of a smile playing on Theo’s lips. “I have some strange hobbies; one of them is
displaying knock-offs of my own artwork and placing them in surveillance camera blind spots.

However, these paintings have cameras embedded inside them because I enjoy watching people’s true
reactions and opinions toward my artwork.“

Luna paused for a moment before realization dawned on her. “Does that mean…you witnessed the
whole process?“

“I guess you can say so.“ Theo stopped the car. “

We’re here.“

Luna turned around and realized that they had arrived at Anne’s doorstep. She unfastened her seatbelt
and got out of the car. “Thank you for the ride. Unfortunately, I can’t invite you upstairs for a chat since I
live with a friend.“

Theo got out of the driver’s seat as well. He handed her a name card along with a small, beautifully
wrapped box. “I hope to get to know you better, Ms. Luna.“

Luna hesitated for a moment but took the card from him nonetheless. “It’d be my pleasure.“

Theo chuckled and pushed the box into Luna’s hand. “Here. You can take it home and have a look first. If
you don’t like it, you can return it to me.“ With that, he got into the car and gave her a wave. “Good Luna
stood motionless as she watched Theo’s car depart. She let out a deep sigh of relief and shoved both
the card and the box into her handbag before heading up the stairs.

The stairwell was dark. As soon as Luna entered, she was immediately pulled into the landing on one
side. She did not have any time to react, much less scream for help.



The man who had dragged her into the landing did not do anything to her. Instead, he leaned against the
door and lit a cigarette.

Luna managed to make out his face with the dim light of the cigarette. “Joshua?“

Joshua took a deep puff of his cigarette, his face expressionless. “You’ve barely known the man for an
hour, yet you let him send you home and even accepted a gift from him?“

Luna’s breath caught in her throat. “Were you following me?“

Joshua did not answer her. Instead, he shot her a cold glance. “Are you feeling lonely now because I left
you and the children are back where they rightfully belong? Is that why you’re so desperate?“

Luna gave him an incredulous look. “What does this have to do with you? Let me tell you, Joshua Lynch,
the only relationship I have with you right now is that of CEO and employee. Does the Lynch Group pride
itself on invading its employees’ privacy?“

Joshua paused. After a moment, he took another puff of his cigarette. “I just wanted to give you a word of
caution: don’t trust everyone you meet.”

Within hours of meeting, Theo had held Luna’s hand in public, drove her home, and even gave her a gift.
Joshua’s gut feeling told him that this man probably had ulterior motives toward her. He could not be
trusted!
