Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 458
“It’s already 8am. It’s about time she wakes up and has breakfast.“
Neil frowned at Alice’s words and immediately stretched his arms out to block Alice’s path. “No.
Mommy’s still sleeping. We can’t wake her.“
Of course, Alice did not listen to him at all. She stood next to the door and shouted at the top of her
lungs, “Luna! Luna! It’s 8am now, time to get up! I’ve made you breakfast! You’re supposed to head to
the company with Joshua at 9am for your meeting!
Luna! “
Alice’s voice was deafening, and she finally managed to wake Luna up from her slumber. The latter
jolted awake and glanced at the time—it was 8am. She had only managed to sleep three hours.
Despite that, however, she knew that Alice was right. She had to go to work, so she crawled out of bed
and muttered, “Thank you. I’ll be down in a while.“
Seeing that Luna was awake, a hint of triumph flashed across Alice’s eyes. She chuckled and stared at
Luna with a gentle expression as she said, “I’ve made you breakfast. You should eat it while it’s still hot.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhy don’t we go downstairs now?“
Luna paused for a moment, then nodded at her. “ Thank you.“ With that, she let out a yawn and slowly
trudged towards the bathroom.
“We’re all waiting for you to have breakfast. You’d better come downstairs soon! “ Alice reminded her
before she turned and disappeared down the stairs.
Neil stood in front of the bathroom door and stared at Luna with his arms crossed. ”Why are you so tired
today? Didn’t you fall asleep around the same time a s we did?”
Nellie gazed at Luna’s dark eye circles with an expression of concern. ”Mommy, why don’t you get some
more rest? Neil and I can go downstairs for breakfast first.”
Luna glanced at her two children and smiled. ”It’s okay. It’s about time I wake up anyway since I have to
work today. ” With that, she let out another yawn and started washing up.
By the time the three of them came downstairs, everyone was already seated in the dining room. To their
surprise, however, Joshua and Alice were not the only ones there. Adrian and Granny Lynch were
present as well.
Granny Lynch glanced at Luna, who still looked exhausted, from her seat in the corner and said
pointedly, ”Tsk! You’re just a guest who happened to be staying here for the night, but you don’t have any
manners at all! How could you make everyone wait like this? Don’t you know you’re just an ordinary
employee working at Lynch Group? Who do you think you are? The mistress of the house?”
Luna frowned at that but said nothing in response. Her mind was foggy from the lack of sleep, so she did
not feel like getting into an argument with Granny Lynch. Instead, she ignored her and plopped down in a
chair without replying.
Alice had prepared a lavish breakfast that day, and all of them were Joshua’s favorite dishes.
“Alice is quite the cook,“ Adrian commented as he munched on the food. He glanced at Alice and curled
his lips into a contented smile. “She’s such a devoted wife. I can’t believe she got up so early in the
morning and went to all this trouble to cook us breakfast! “
Alice grinned at Adrian in return. “No, no. It’s no trouble at all. It’s the least I can do as Joshua’s wife.“ As
soon as she said this, she shot Joshua a meaningful glance. “Don’t you think so, Joshua?“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoshua smiled at her. “Don’t be so modest. My dad complimented you, so you should just accept it.“
Joshua felt a little touched by Alice’s gesture. They had been up almost the entire night, yet she still got
up early in the morning to prepare such a hearty feast.
It was the first time in their many years of marriage that she had done something like this.
Neil could not stand watching Joshua and Alice display their affection in front of everyone, so he pursed
his lips and tried to change the topic. “Mr. Lynch, I’d like to apply for a day’s leave on behalf of Ms. Luna.
She didn’t manage to get any sleep last night.“
Joshua frowned at that and turned around to look at Luna.
She looked exhausted, with two rings of dark circles underneath her eyes. She indeed looked like she
had not gotten much sleep.
A hint of displeasure clouded Joshua’s eyes. “Luna, this isn’t your first day of work. Today is your first day
back at the company after coming home from the business trip. Aren’t you aware that you have a lot to
do today? Why didn’t you get any sleep?”
Joshua peered at Luna’s weary face with a slightly annoyed expression. “What were you up to last
night?”
