Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 173
“Delicious fried chicken! “
The fried chicken was served ten minutes later, and Nellie hopped around in glee. Neil was just as
elated, but he still snuck an apprehensive glance at Luna. “ Mommy…“
“You can eat, “ said Luna with a small smile. She was already seated at the dining table.
“Here you go, Sirs. Have a taste of this mushroom soup,“ said Lily enthusiastically as she set down
bowls of soup in front of everyone at the table. “Ms. Luna was afraid that fried chicken alone would be
too heavy, so she made this mushroom soup herself! “
Adrian picked up a spoonful of soup and took a sip. “ Not bad.“
Joshua, however, sat in silence. He caught a glimpse of Luna, who had been trying to keep her right
hand under the table and out of sight. “What’s wrong with your hand?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLuna shot him an impassive glance. “Nothing. I ‘m just not hungry.“
“Not hungry, or did you injure yourself?“ Joshua’s dark eyes seemed to see right through her. “Lift your
hand.“
Luna frowned. She did not want to do as he said, but everyone was staring at her at this point. She let
out a sigh and reluctantly lifted her hand from under the table.
Her right hand was wrapped in a bandage.
Nellie was so shocked that she dropped her chicken drumstick. “What happened, Aunty?“
Neil immediately leaped off his seat, rushed to Luna’s side, and grabbed hold of her wrist. “Are you
hurt?“
Seeing her children’s reactions, Luna felt a tingle of warmth in her heart. She shook her head in
response. “I’m fine. A drop of hot oil accidentally splashed onto me, that’s all.“
“Accidentally? “ Joshua gave her a steely glance, then turned to glance at Lily. “It’s not the first time the
both of you entered a kitchen. How can two handy cooks make a rookie mistake like this?“
His gaze made Lily uneasy. She lowered her head and tried to avoid looking at him.
A smirk played on the corner of Joshua’s mouth. He demanded immediately, “Tell me what happened! “
Lily was so startled by his booming voice that she almost got onto her knees. “I… I…“ she stammered.
“It was my fault,“ answered Luna. She gently set her injured hand down on the table and raised her bowl
with the other one to take a sip. “I got some water on my hand when I was making the soup, but I forgot
about it. I saw that Lily was having some trouble, so I tried to help, but the water on my hand dripped into
the pot, and the hot oil splattered onto me.“
Luna glanced at Lily. “She’s a timid girl, and she felt guilty about my injury, thinking it wouldn’t have
happened if I didn’t try to help her. Don’t be so harsh on her.“
Upon hearing these words, Lily immediately lifted her head to stare at Luna with a bewildered look on her
face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAdrian believed Luna’s response. “Alright, just be careful next time. Ms. Luna, you’re no longer a maid
here at Blue Bay Villa, so you don’t have to take part i n chores like this anymore.“
Luna nodded and gave him a smile. “I won’t.“
After hearing Luna’s explanation, Joshua said nothing to indicate whether he believed her or not. He just
gave Lily a cold glance and continued eating his meal.
Since Luna had injured her right hand, all throughout the meal, she could only use her left hand clumsily.
Fortunately, Neil soon finished his meal and moved to sit next to her, so that he could feed her.
“Mommy, you used to feed me in the past, so now it’s my turn to feed you instead.“
Luna chuckled. “How does it feel to be feeding your own mother?“
Neil gave a small laugh. “It feels nice.“
“Hey, I want to do this, too! “ Nellie exclaimed and wanted to join in, but she bit her lip soon after she
realized that it was not appropriate for her to do so. Luna was just her Aunty to everyone else, after all.
Therefore, she turned around and looked at Joshua expectantly. “Daddy, will you let me feed you?“
