Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 165
Luna’s breath caught in her throat. Her guess was right; Nellie had started attending school at the same
kindergarten that Neil went to.
“Mr. Lynch, I believe you’re mistaken,“ began Luna. “Nellie’s insistence on attending school with Neil
must’ve been because they’re very close with each other. I don’t think it has anything to do with me. I’ve
never even mentioned this idea to her.“
She gave a slight smirk and added, “Mr. Lynch, I have a piece of advice for you: Instead of trying to
blame your problems on other people, why not actually sit down and have a conversation with your
daughter to find out what she really wants? Nellie and Neil are close friends, and it’s normal for them to
want to attend school together.“
Joshua’s eyes narrowed as he heard Luna’s response. This woman was a piece of work. Not only did
she suddenly quit her job at Blue Bay Villa, but she acted so uncouthly and impolite to him all at this
moment, too.

longer, so instead, she would find another spot to wait.
However, when she moved to the left, Joshua stepped in front of her, blocking her way. When she moved
to the right, he did the same. She reluctantly lifted her head to stare at him. “Mr. Lynch, you’re in my
way.“
He narrowed his eyes at her and said, ”Well, if it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t even be here anyway. It was
difficult for me to give in to my daughter and send her to a preschool like this because of you, so what’s
so hard about me being in your way? ” Joshua was obviously infuriated about his daughter’s insistence,
yet at the same time, he knew he could not change her mind, so he decided to take out his anger on
Luna.
Luna shot him a glance of helplessness. She did not understand why this man acted like a child.
She relented and slid back into her original spot, leaning against the wall while Joshua remained poised
in front of her. After a while, he took out a stick of cigarette and proceeded to light it.
”Ms. Luna, you must’ve been paid quite generously when you were abroad. Why didn’t you choose a
better school for Neil? Why come to a place like this?” asked Joshua.
Luna rolled her eyes at him. ”What’s wrong with this school?”
Anne was the one who picked out this school for Neil. Although it was not a prestigious school, it
certainly was not a bad one either. The children who went to school here came from ordinary families, so
there would not be too much unnecessary drama or rules to adhere to. The teachers were patient and
friendly, and they did not teach glamorous sports like horseback riding or archery. Instead, they were
committed to creating a comfortable learning environment for the children. In Luna’s opinion, those were
enough.
Neil was an intelligent boy. She did not want to send him to a reputable school where all they did was
restrict and conform him to society’s standards. She wanted her son to grow up in a place where he
could make friends and have fun.
As for Nellie, however, she never expected Nellie to attend the same kindergarten. Luna knew Nellie was
a spoiled child and maybe a regular preschool like this was not meant for her, but she disagreed with
Joshua’s opinion. This school was ordinary, but it was not a bad one.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna’s response to his question made Joshua snicker. “If Neil were my son, I wouldn’t send him here.“
Luna frowned. “Well, thank God Neil isn’t your son, then.“
He could not put his finger on it, but that response somehow made him uneasy. He fixed his gaze on her,
but just as he was about to retort, the school bell rang. Immediately, the crowd of parents surged forward
toward the gates like a pack of sardines.
Luna did not like the feeling of being squished up against the crowd of people, and it did not help that
Joshua still blocked her way, so she remained motionless.
The children came out of the kindergarten in a single file line. One by one, Luna counted them. One,
two…
By the time she reached the 20th child, there was still no sign of Neil or Nellie. She began to panic. Neil’s
class only had 25 students.
Eventually, the 24th child came out of the school building, but it was not Neil either. Luna bit her lip and
wound her way around Joshua, storming toward the gate. ”Teacher, where’s Neil and Nellie?”
