Chapter 2846
Joshua was silent for a moment.
Even though he, too, did not want to hurt Luke’s ego…
“I guess you don’t have to say anything anymore.” Luke raised his hand to touch his forehead in a defeated manner. “I can’t believe it–my reputation’s all gone.”
To everyone else, Luke had always been the ruthless and invincible gangster, one whose dignity would never be challenged. Even his death was a chosen one–he willingly sacrificed himself for the woman he loved, as opposed to dying due to illness or combat.
However, he never thought that after his death, his subordinates would eventually find out he had been tricked out of his life…
The reputation he had so carefully built up over these years was destroyed.
Luke was so humiliated that he could not help willing for the ground beneath him to open up and swallow him whole right that instant.
“Not only did they find out, but they were even determined to come over to Saigen City and take revenge on the Miller and Hughes families,” Thomas could not help adding. “They couldn’t bear seeing their leader being tricked like this, so they were determined to make the culprits pay the price.
“Unfortunately, Saigen City is too far away from both Sea City and Merchant City. Even if your subordinates had come, they wouldn’t be able to adapt to the weather conditions here anyway, but most importantly, Saigen City belongs to the Miller and Hughes families. No matter how many of them come, they won’t stand a chance against the gangsters here.
“Therefore, Joshua and I managed to persuade them to give up on their plans. Instead, they agreed to send Jim’s brother, Sean, over here to check on Steven and see whether you were doing well.”
Luke furrowed his brow when he heard this. He turned to glance at Thomas as though he wanted to say something, but after a moment, he heaved a sigh and decided to stay quiet instead.
Joshua curled his lips into a defeated smile and proceeded to record the video as Luke instructed. Behind them, Gwen watched quietly as Luke spoke to the camera, a small smile playing on her lips.
Back when she first lost Luke, she had been so consumed by the thought of having him back that she was willing to do anything, even at the expense of Steven’s life.
However, Luke finally returned, and it was as though his appearance was the cure to her anxiety. She was no longer engulfed by the thoughts of losing him anymore.
No matter what happened, she was more than grateful to be able to see him again, even if it was just once.
After finishing the recording, Luke let out an exhale and strode over to Gwen’s side. “Now that I’m done with that, the remainder of my time belongs to you. Shall we go out for a stroll?”

The readers' comments on the novel: Will you marry me, My Ex-Wife (Luna and Joshua)
Luna is sooo stupid!...
This story line is sickening… her children, Nellie in particular, do not like Malcolm. She is already married to Joshua, the father of her children who loves her more than Malcolm ever could. Just disgusting....
Another “misunderstanding”…… poor Luna, why can’t she just say the Quinns kidnapped me instead of assuming Joshua is doing the wrong thing. Terrible....
I sure hope Aura gets arrested and pays for her many crimes soon, along with Adrian and Michael. Joshua and Luna need peace with their children....
Joshua is stupid, he says he loves Luna but refuses to tell her the truth thinking he can never recover from all the deceit, if he told the truth he could redeem himself and live a happy life with his family rather than continue to protect a bunch of evil criminals. Terrible decisions by a man who is smart enough to run a multi faceted company....
Omg this author is twisted!! When does Luna catch a break! This is awful. Aurasnd Fiona are evil, evil women and are using the children to commit their crimes 🤬...
And now the author has made it sound like he cares more for Fiona who he has only known a couple of weeks than Luna, his wife, the love of his life. Stupid and pathetically disgusting....
Wow, making Joshua out to be so stupid, ugh. Yes he told this horrible bitch he would accompany her until she died, but she lied about her fake illness so I guess he’ll have to live with her forever! He also promised to love, honor and cherish his wife Luna however seems to forget that with each passing malicious mistress, Aura, Alice and now Fiona. Awful. Let’s get past this into some storyline that involves some happiness for Luna… the only woman who truly cares for and loves him. Get rid of Fiona, soon....
So disgusted with this Fiona storyline, hope it doesn’t last much longer. Joshua told her when they made the deal he had someone in his heart and would not sleep with her. They could be faking a relationship and he doesn’t have to be so nasty to Luna and the kids. It’s heartbreaking and giving him another ridiculous relationship is unnecessary. Just makes more misunderstandings for Luna and harder for her to forgive him....
Joshua is in the wrong, even if Fiona asked him to keep their fake relationship a secret he should have told Luna what was going on. After all, supposedly he lives Luna and the children and is doing this for them. Being deceiving is not working for him....
