The Spare Wife by Nadia Gordon

Chapter 501 Settle Down

“You’re still upset with my sister? I’ve reprimanded her before I came to look for you. I’m always on your side. Trust me.” Josh’s tone was pitiful.

Luna replied, “I’m not upset. I just want some time alone.”

“But I asked your neighbor, and she said you hurt your leg. She even reported it to the police. How can you be running around with an injured leg?” Josh inquired intentionally.

This time, Luna didn’t respond right away.

She remained silent for a while before saying, “It’s not that bad… Did you go to my house?”

“Yeah, I missed you. When I came to find you, and you ignored me, I asked your neighbor,” Josh said gently.

“I’m not at home. Stop looking for me. I’m out having fun. You don’t need to find me. I’ll call you when I feel like it.” Luna’s words were both a rejection and a plea.

Josh started to get a little angry. “Since you’re in Capitalis, why won’t you meet me? Is it really that difficult to meet in Capitalis?”

“Can you stop making a fuss?” Luna was getting frustrated.

“Am I the one making a fuss? You’ve been acting strange since you got back. You said you wouldn’t blame me before, but now you’ve changed. It’s making me very uneasy,” Josh confessed.

Luna took a deep breath and tried to calm him. “I’m leaving Capitalis soon to travel abroad. I’ll meet you when I get back.”

“Then, I’ll go with you,” Josh immediately proposed.

“I don’t want to go with you!” Luna said and hung up the phone.

Josh held onto the phone for a moment before shooting a text to Sean.

I said I wanted to meet her in Capitalis, but she refused. She also said she’s going abroad. She hung up directly. My intuition tells me this isn’t Luna. Even though she has a temper, she’s always reasonable. We had a good relationship before we separated. We used to talk on the phone every night. Now she’s acting like she wants to break up.

“Your intuition may be right, but you still have to pretend you haven’t noticed anything. We’ll work together on this, and we’ll get to the bottom of it, Sean advised.

Josh felt a bit more at ease after reading Sean’s message. Right now, he had no choice but to

trust Sean.

Since Luna wasn’t in Pendorf, Sean decided to return to Capitalis. It would arouse suspicion. if he stayed in Pendorf for too long.

Sean first went to the Pearson Residence upon returning to Capitalis.

Lawrence was surprised to see him coming over on his own initiative.

“How’s your grandfather? Kelly said if you didn’t come back to Capitalis soon, she would go to Pendorf to find you,” Lawrence said. Although he didn’t particularly like Sean, as an elder, he still expressed concern for Sean’s grandfather.

“He’s fine, just a bit tired from playing cards too much,” Sean replied calmly.

Kelly knew how much Colby loved playing cards. He would immediately join his friends at the card table the instant he was done with his meals. So, it wasn’t an understatement to say that one could find the old man either at the card table or at the dining table.

“That old man sure loves to have fun,” Lawrence commented in a low voice.

Scarlett chimed in, “Josh went to Pendorf too. Did he go to find you?”

“Yeah, he came to say hi, but he didn’t contact me after that. Why?” Sean answered calmly.

“You should’ve called us. He said he was going to keep his sister company but ended up running off to find Luna. It’s really hard for us to feel at ease with him,” Scarlett said, her tone. carrying a touch of discontent.

Ever since Luna and Kelly had their fight, Scarlett truly didn’t like Luna anymore. Scarlett would be much happier if they ended things.

“Josh is an adult, and he can be responsible for his own choices,” Sean replied calmly.

“Yeah, feelings aren’t something he can control. I’m not as angry now. Just let him. go find Luna to hang out,” Kelly added. Sean came to Capitalis and immediately came here. She was happy about it and couldn’t be bothered to argue with Josh anymore. In any case… they would eventually break up, and Luna would eventually disappear from this world.

“You’re just too kind-hearted,” Scarlett gently tapped Kelly on the forehead.

Kelly laughed and couldn’t help but look at Sean. “Let’s go have dinner at Silver Gates tonight. I heard it’s a new place, and many people like it.”

Sean hesitated for a moment but ultimately nodded in agreement.

Kelly’s smile widened even further. “I’ll go change.”

As Kelly went upstairs, Sean sat in the living room, lost in thought. If Luna wasn’t in Capitalis, according to the information Josh provided, she had to have been secretly taken out of the

country.

Once she left the country, they would have less control of the situation.

Lawrence noticed Sean’s absentmindedness and couldn’t help but feel worried about Kelly’s marriage.

Sean doesn’t even like her. They wouldn’t be happy even if they got married.

Unfortunately, no matter how Lawrence tried to talk to Kelly, it was all in vain. She was determined to marry Sean, but he couldn’t fathom what kind of charm Sean held…

He was just a divorced man…

“Sean, I still hope you’ll settle down. Since you’ve chosen to be with Kelly, stop thinking about your ex-wife,” Lawrence advised, lowering his voice.

Sean was lost in thought, but Lawrence’s words quickly brought him back to reality. He simply smiled and looked at Lawrence. “Why say such things? I arrived in Capitalis today, and the first thing I did was come here.”
