Chapter 1517


    Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn’t Easy chapter 1517


    Luna’s knees mmed against the cold, hard marble floor.


    At that instant, she could feel a twinge of pain shoot up her knees. She knew that this fall had triggered


    the past injury she had suffered due to her ident six years ago.


    She gritted her teeth and tried to stand up, but no matter how hard she tried, she could not do so.


    Charles never expected that Heather would force Luna to kneel, and a hint of surprise shed through


    his eyes. Immediately, he reached out his hand to help her up.


    However, a split secondter, he changed his mind and withdrew his hand.


    He was the one who had demanded Luna to kneel, and Heather was simply trying to help. If he helped


    Luna up…


    What would Heather think?


    As soon as he thought of this, Charles furrowed his brows and decided that he would make it up to Luna


    by apologizing to her after they got home. Then, he said curtly, “Luna, I’ll take care of this and make


    Joshua pay for attempting to kill your mother, but you…“


    He lowered his head and nced at the pale -faced woman kneeling before him. “You have to swear


    before us—me, your brother, your sister, as well as


    your mother inside the operation room —that you will never see Joshua again.


    “If you do not stick to your word…“


    Charles’ gaze fell on Luna’s belly. “If you do not stick to your word, the baby in your belly will not be able


    toe into this world safely.“


    As soon as she heard this, Luna lifted her head to stare at Charles with an expression of surprise,


    confusion, and bafflement.


    “Father.“ She rarely ever called him this. “How can you…“


    Luna reached out to ce her hand over her belly. “ How can you force me to swear on my baby’s life?


    This child…“


    She bit her lip, and a hopeful expression crossed her face as she stared at Charles. “Are you unaware


    whose baby this is?“


    Charles narrowed his eyes. “It is precisely because I know who the father is that I’m ordering you to


    swear on its life.“


    He squatted before Luna and lifted up her chin. “Do you think I’m an idiot? The only reason I had given


    you a chance was that Malcolm was willing to im this child as his own.“


    With that, he turned around, refusing to continue staring into Luna’s eyes. “Luna, make that vow.


    “Even if you refuse to swear upon the baby’s life, it will not survive anyway.


    “We’re in a hospital; it will be easy for me to find a doctor to force -feed you some abortion medicine.


    “On top of that, if you leak this news to the public, everyone will think I was right to do this after knowing


    who the baby’s father is.“

    “Father! “ Jim furrowed his brows upon hearing this. He stepped forward to shield Luna behind him. “


    Luna is your biological daughter! The baby in her belly right now is your grandchild! “


    Charles sneered. “Grandchild?“


    He turned around and stared at Luna coldly, then at Jim. “She’s still young, and she has plenty of other


    opportunities; she can always give birth to a purer grandchild to continue the bloodline.


    “Do you want me to think of that man every time I pick up my grandchild in the future?“


    Jim bit his lip when he heard this.


    He let out an exhale and kneeled next to Luna. “If you are so unwilling to ept the presence of a Lynch


    in your family, then you should get rid of me as well. When are you going to do that, Father?“


    Charles was so furious that his entire face turned scarlet, and his chest started rising and falling rapidly.


    “Jim Landry, I’m talking to Luna, and none of this has anything to do with you! You are different from her


    child! “
