Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 266

He still remembered what Luna had told him in the past.

‘If we have kids, I’ll teach them to be true to themselves. They should act courteous in public, but when
they’re at home, they can do whatever they want.’

It was apparent that Alice had forgotten her promise. It seemed that six years truly could change a
person, so much so that Joshua could not recognize her anymore.

He sighed and led Alice into the house.

“Daddy! “

“Welcome home, Daddy! We know you’ve had a long day at work! “As soon as they set foot in the house,
they came face-to-face with Neil and Nellie. The two children stood to either side of the door and bowed
a t Joshua, smiling.

Joshua immediately scowled at this sight. He took a closer look at his two children standing before him.
Nellie’s face was red and tearful, while Neil’s face was etched with impatience. It was obvious that the
two children had been forced to do this against their will.

Joshua let go of Alice and shot her a cold glance. “Is this the so-called manners that you’re trying to
teach them?“

Alice froze. She could tell that Joshua was displeased.

She narrowed her eyes in annoyance. She had instructed the children to compliment their father when
he got home from work, but she never told them to wait by the door and bow at him!

The looks on Neil and Nellie’s faces clearly conveyed to Joshua that they were miserable and that Alice
was the one who put them up to this.



Alice smiled nervously. “No, of course not. They must’ve learned this from television. They must’ve
thought that you’d like being welcomed home this way.“

She glanced at Neil and Nellie. “Your father has had to endure this for the whole day at work, so you
don’t have to do this now. He doesn’t like being treated like this.“

Joshua felt a surge of relief upon hearing Alice’s words. Just as he was about to say something,
however, Neil interjected sulkily, “You were the one who told us to do this. You said that we should be
respectful to Mr. Lynch and that this will make him happy, so why is he so angry now?“

Alice glared at him. “What on earth are you talking about? When did I say that?“

“This afternoon.“ Nellie blinked at the two adults innocently. “You told us that as children, we have to
learn to please adults so that they’111ike us.“

Alice furrowed her brows. “I never said that! “

“Hmph! I knew this would happen !“ Nellie shot her brother a look. “Neil, play the recording for Daddy! “

Neil nodded and took a voice recorder pen out of his pocket and played the recording. Alice’s voice rang
out: ‘When your father comes home later on, you have to compliment him and be respectful to him. This
will make him happy. Children have to learn to please adults so that they’ll like you.’

It was exactly as Nellie had described.

Alice’s face turned pale in an instant. She thought that she had gotten away with it, but she did not
expect that the two children had recorded every conversation in secret!

After hearing the recording, Joshua’s brow knitted much tighter together. He turned around and looked at
Alice. “The kids are still young, yet you’re telling them things like this. Is this what you should be teaching
children?“



Alice bit her lip nervously. She had no way of denying anymore since the children had brought out
evidence. She remained silent for a long while before suddenly bursting into sobs. “Joshua, I’m sorry…

Ever since I returned, you’ve been working overtime every night. Sometimes you don’t even come home
at all. You leave at the crack of dawn and come back late at night, leaving the three of us at home. I
thought…“ Alice wiped away the tears that streamed down her face. “I thought that maybe you didn’t like
us, and that’s why you didn’t seem to want to stay home…“
