Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 269

Neil glanced at Joshua with a puzzled look. “I thought you told us not to contact her.“

Joshua sneered. “Since when do you even listen to me? Do you think I never noticed the new signal-
jamming device you placed in the house?“

Neil immediately lowered his head in shame. When Luna got released from jail, Joshua had ordered
them not to contact her and even warned them that he would be able to track their cellular signals to
detect if they talked to her behind his back.

Neil had no choice but to ask Nigel for help and installed a signal jammer within the house.

Whenever the device was switched on, the signal they used to contact their mother could not be
detected.

However, Neil never expected that Joshua would discover the device.

“Okay, so… Shall I call her?“ said Neil meekly, somewhat ashamed that his plan had been exposed. He
turned around and tried to slip out of the room.

“Stop.“ Joshua stopped him sternly before he could leave. “You can call her right here.“

Neil pulled a face and retreated to the couch. He dialed Luna’s number and waited for the call to be
picked up.

Joshua sat on a chair across from him. “Put her on speakers,“ he ordered.

Neil jolted in shock. “I don’t think that’s…“

“Why? What’s wrong with that? “ Joshua raised his eyebrows skeptically. “Don’t you want to prove to me
that your ‘mother’ Luna isn’t a promiscuous woman who goes home with every man she meets?“



Neil rolled his eyes at him; he had no choice but to do as Joshua instructed. Luna picked up the phone
almost immediately.

“Hello? “ Her voice rang out from the other end of the line. She sounded like she was in a good mood. “
Neil, why are you calling at this time? Has Joshua gone to bed already?“

Neil glanced at the scowling man sitting across from him. “Yes, he’s asleep.“

“Alright, thank God. Otherwise, you’ll get caught.“ Luna sighed and tried to tease him. “I know that he
treats Nellie well, but Nellie’s a girl, and you’re a boy. If you get caught, Mommy’s afraid he’ll beat you! “

Usually, when Luna teased him like this, Neil would always counter by saying that he would not get
caught and beaten. At that moment, however, he did not dare say anything like that in front of Joshua.

Instead, he let out an awkward laugh and quickly changed the subject. “Mommy, where are you now?“

Neil could hear a crunching sound from the other end. Luna seemed to be munching on some fruits.
Luna answered, her voice somewhat muffled, “I’m at your godmom’s place. We’re eating a fruit platter
right now.“

Anne’s voice immediately rang out, “Hi, Neil! Aunt Anne misses you! “

Neil let out a sigh of relief as soon as he heard that. He lifted his gaze and shot Joshua a look that
seemed to say, ‘I told you so.’

The corner of Joshua’s mouth turned up in a smile. Somehow, he, too, felt relieved to know Luna was
with Anne instead of spending the night with Theo.

Neil pursed his lips. “Mommy, have you met anyone interesting lately?“



“Yes, I did! “ Luna got up and went into her room. She laid on her bed and started chatting with her son,
“Didn’t I tell you this yesterday? I got to meet the artist I love, Theo Allen, in person! I’ve been staying
with Anne for a while now, but I’m thinking of finding a place of my own so as not to inconvenience her. It
just so happens that Theo rented a house in Banyan City, and he offered to let me have a look around
his place. I went over just now, and I think it looks quite nice, so I’m planning to

rent it! I’ll send you my new address as soon as I settle in.“

The truth uncovered itself. Neil did not feel the need to prove anything to Joshua anymore, so he quickly
hung up the phone after a few more minutes of conversation. As soon as he hung up, he gave Joshua a
smug look.

“Did you hear that, Mr. Lynch? Mommy went to Theo’s house to look around. It’s not what you thought it
was at all! “ With that, Neil turned around and sauntered out of the room triumphantly.

Joshua remained motionless in his chair as he watched the child leave, unable to fight off the smile on
his face. It turned out everything was just a simple misunderstanding.

“Joshua.” As soon as Neil left, the door was pushed open again. Alice came in with a faint smile on her
face as she held a cup of coffee.
