Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1247
After dinner, Luna returned to her room and continued watching the video of the jewelry design exhibition. But
somehow, she felt hot. Even after lowering the temperature on the air-conditioning and goosebumps appeared all
over her skin from the cold air, she still felt hot. She thought she had fallen sick, so she took a shower. And felt even
hotter. In the end, she had no choice but to walk to the balcony in her pajamas and sip on some water.
That was odd. It was already autumn, fallen leaves were strewn all over the garden, and yet she felt so hot that she
wanted to immerse her entire body in ice water.
“Luna.“ Suddenly, a man’s low voice drifted into her ears. She frowned and unconsciously looked in the direction of
the voice.
In the little garden beneath her balcony, the tall and lean man stood there with a smile, an ash grey trench coat

handsome.
Back then, he stood beneath a cherry blossom tree in a white shirt, looked at her as she sat in the tree, and smiled
lightly, asking her why she climbed so high up.
He startled her, and with a moment’s loss of balance, she fell off of the tree and into his arms.
Back then, she was held in his arms, she felt the warmth of his unfamiliar hug and studied his side – profile, all cold
hard angles, and sharp features.
Since then, she fell in love with him, hook, line, and sinker. To her surprise, on an autumn night many years later,
she could still see him looking at her like this.
Seeing her stand on the balcony, staring at him in a daze, he lifted his lips in a faint smile. “I couldn’t fall asleep, so I
wanted to treat you to a cup of tea.“
Luna laughed in amusement at his words, “You never used to eat and drink tea, didn’t you?“
He lifted his eyebrows. “That’s true, I don’t like tea. But Nellie kept calling me today, reminding me to think of a way
to buy your first cup of tea to officially welcome autumn.“
His voice was as low and beautiful as always, carrying with him an irresistible magnetism.
Hearing him talking to her like this for the first time, Luna could not help but grin. She put away the glass of water.
“I’ll change and head downstairs.”
“Don’t.” The man made a ‘hush’ gesture at her. ” Don’t let them know that we are leaving.” He shook the rope in
his hand.
Only then did Luna discover that, somehow, a very thick and sturdy piece of rope was tied to her balcony.
He looked at her from the ground and smiled. ” Should I go up and carry you down, or you’ll come down by
yourself?”

Luna blushed. ” I…I’ll climb down by myself. “ She took a deep breath, went back to her room, grabbed a coat,
turned around, and climbed down the rope.
Her room was only on the second floor, not very high up, about the same height as the tree she used to climb when
she wanted to sketch. Luna climbed down the rope effortlessly.
The moment she landed, Joshua’s arms caught her tightly. Same as when they first met many years ago, gentle yet
powerful.
Luna felt even hotter now. She immediately wrestled herself out of his arms, turned, and headed toward the exit.
“Where are we going for tea?“
“The car.“ He walked forward, held her hand, and strode toward his Masevati that was parked in the near distance.
His large hand was strong and powerful, with a steady, calming warmth.
With her hand in his, she could almost feel his thundering pulse. Her heartbeat grew frantic too.
After the two of them climbed into the car, there was a power outage in the villa behind them. The entire villa was
plunged into darkness.
