Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy Chapter 659

Alice immediately stiffened when she heard Joshua’s voice suddenly echoing through the silent room.

She must have misheard it; Joshua had eaten the crème brûlée that she spiked with sedatives. How
could he possibly have awoken?

This was impossible…

Alice shook her head and continued rifling through Joshua’s clothes.

“You don’t need any help?“ the same voice rang out from behind her just as she was about to reach for
his shirt.

Alice could no longer convince herself she was mishearing things.

She slowly turned around, feeling as though the joints in her entire body were stiff and rigid. She finally
took in the scene behind her.

Joshua, dressed in a pair of gray pajamas, was leaning gracefully against the doorframe. He fixated his
gaze on her, a smirk playing on his lips.

Alice felt as though her blood had run cold and her entire body had stiffened.

She opened her mouth but did not manage to say a single word. After a long while, she finally
stammered, “Josh…Joshua.“

“Yes. “ Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and strode over, then slowly squatted down in front of her.

He grabbed his shirt out of Alice’s hands and sternly uttered, ”What are you looking for behind my back?
Why don’t you just tell me what it is, and I’111ook for it together with you.”



Alice was so nervous that she could not even form a single sentence. Her mind went blank.

This was not possible… How could this be?

She had put plenty of sleeping pills in the crème brûlée Joshua had eaten. The doctor had told her that
this dosage would not harm Joshua but would surely put him in a deep sleep for a while.

She had ground the pills into powder and sprinkled it all over Joshua’s crème brûlée. He had eaten not
one but two bowls of it, so how could he still be awake?

”Let me guess.” Joshua picked up his clothes, set them on the coffee table, then sat down gracefully on
the sofa.

He laid his arms on both sides of the sofa and leaned against the backrest, much like a dignified and
majestic king. His gaze never wavered from Alice , who was still frozen in shock, and asked, ”You’re
looking for the divorce agreement papers, right? ”

This afternoon, after he realized that Alice had spiked his food and rummaged through his hotel room
while he was out cold, he immediately ordered Lucas to investigate everything that had happened in
Banyan City.

According to one of his servants at Blue Bay Villa, Alice had searched through his entire study while he
was gone, and she refused to let anyone else do it for

her for fear of missing out on any clues.

When he asked his employees at Lynch Group Tower, they said the same thing.

As soon as he heard this, Joshua passed the divorce papers to Luke to safeguard them for him.

Joshua thought that Alice would back off after what happened this afternoon, but contrary to his belief,
she became even more outrageous.



Alice shook her head furiously. “I… I’m not.“

“You’re not?“ Joshua raised his eyebrows and glanced at the clothes Alice clutched behind her back,
trying to hide them from his view. “What are you doing with my clothes then if you’re not looking for
something? Are you trying to smell them?“

Alice bit down on her lip. “Joshua, you’ve misunderstood. Actually, I…“

She let out an exhale, and suddenly, an idea popped into her head. “I’m actually looking for women’s
hair. Yes…“

Alice thought that this was the perfect excuse. “I’m looking for women’s hair. Some of my friends that I
met through the cooking class taught me how to determine if our husbands are cheating on us. One of
the things they taught me is to look for hairs on our husbands’ clothing that belonged to other women…“

Alice thought she had come up with a perfect reply, though it only served as Joshua’s amusement.

“Alice. Did you forget what I told you when we were drafting the divorce agreement contract?“

The color drained from Alice’s face. Her lips started to tremble in fear. ”You said…you’ re giving me one
last chance… If I… If I ever suspected you of cheating on me ever again, we would… We would… ”

No matter how hard she tried, Alice could not seem to utter the last word.

”We would divorce.”
