Chapter 196

Chapter 196 He Wants Them Both

After listening to Joshua’s words, Lexie was completely stunned..

Lexie barely managed to maintain the smile on her face, saying, “Joshua, if you are worried that the inj ury on your face will affect your image, I can contact the best makeup artist to help you cover your injur y…”

“Lexie,” Joshua interrupted her with a hoarse voice, “this isn’t the reason that I wanted to cancel the we dding.”

“What is the reason for that?” Lexie’s hands slowly tightened around her knees.

Joshua was silent for a long time before saying, “I… I want to reconsider my relationship with you.”

Since Joshua divorced Anaya, he had been paying attention to Anaya’s life.

At first, Anaya was involved with those men. Joshua only thought that it was a scandal that she deliberately made in order to provoke hi m and show off that she was better than him.

But later, Joshua gradually realized that Anaya seemed to be serious.

And this seriousness was only directed at Hearst.

Joshua tried his best not to care about the matter between her and Hearst, telling himself that the perso n he loved was Lexie and that he should not be entangled with Anaya anymore.

Joshua thought that he had achieved it before.

But recently, as the wedding day between him and Lexie approached, he seemed to pay more attention to Anaya.

For a few moments, Joshua even had the urge to abandon Lexie to chase Anaya back.

This kind of impulse, Joshua had been suppressing all this time.

And tonight, it seemed as if all of them had burst out with Anaya calling Hearst “Heari” all of a sudden.

Anaya had been Joshua’s wife.

She was now his ex–wife.

In the future…

Joshua hoped she was still his wife.

When Joshua was in Anaya’s house, the urge to snatch Anaya away from Hearst had reached its peak.

In the process of fighting Hearst, Joshua only had the thought of snatching Anaya away.

At that time, he had even forgotten that tomorrow, he would be someone else’s groom.

Joshua had to admit that in the depths of his heart, Anaya might be more important than Lexie.

Compared to marrying Lexie, he actually wanted to marry Anaya.

Lexie reacted quickly. Almost the moment Joshua finished speaking, Lexie thought that based on Josh ua’s attitude, something most likely had happened between him and Anaya.

“Is it because of Anaya?” Lexie asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Joshua didn’t lie to Lexie this time.

He knew that Lexie had already noticed his thoughts. It was probably because Lexie wanted to take car e of his

emotions, so she hadn’t said it.

Lexie treated Joshua sincerely, and he really didn’t want to lie to her anymore.

After Lexie heard Joshua’s answer, her eyes flashed with resentment. All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

Lexie thought, Anaya, Anaya, it’s Anaya again!

Why is that woman always blocking my way up?

Lexie’s heart was filled with joy before. After waiting for so many years, her beautiful dream was finally going to come true and she would be the young madam of the Maltz family.

In the end, before one step closer to this dream, Anaya tore it apart!

Lexie wanted to skin Anaya alive, but in the end, she endured it.

Lexie hid her ferociousness and asked pitifully, “Joshua, are you going to break up with me?”

Joshua was stumped by Lexie’s question.

To be honest, he was more partial to Anaya and wanted to keep her by his side. He was even ready to compete with

Hearst.

But if he were to break up with Lexie like this, he would also be reluctant to do so…

“I don’t know.” Joshua scratched his hair in frustration.

He himself could not figure out what exactly he wanted.

If possible…

Joshua wanted them both.

But this was obviously not gonna happen.

Before Joshua made his decision, he hoped that both of them could wait for him and give him some tim e to choose.

Joshua did not say “no” with certainty, and Lexie immediately guessed what he was thinking.

As Anaya had said before, Joshua was a person who always wavered.

Joshua wanted his heart to be split in half.

Now that Joshua felt so uneasy and dealt with Lexie in a confused manner, there was a high chance th at Joshua had not figured out how to choose.

At this moment, Lexie was also somewhat disgusted with Joshua’s wavering personality.

But no matter what, Joshua was Lexie’s scaling ladder, and she could not let go of him no matter what.

“Joshua, we have already sent out our invitations. Everyone in Boston knows that we are going to get married. If you break the engagement at this time, what about the reputation of the Maltz family?”

Joshua said resolutely, “I’ve never cared about such things.”

“What about mine?” Lexie squeezed out a few tears.

Joshua paused.

“If our wedding is canceled, what will outsiders think of me?” Lexie continued.

“When the time comes, those rich young ladies will definitely say that I am the abandoned wife of a we althy family, a

woman no one wants, whose wedding cot canceled...

“Joshua, I‘ve waited for you for so many years, and you‘re giving me this?”

As Lexic said this, her lears fell, half true and half false.

Joshua couldn‘t bear it, but he still couldn‘t let go of Anaya. “I will take all the blame for the cancellation o

Joshua‘s words meant that he was determined to cancel the wedding

“You clearly know that this is not what I care about. What I want is for you to marry me!” Lexie really crie

Seeing her like this, Joshua felt a little guilty and took a step back “Lexie, let‘s not break up. Can you giv

Lexie saw that the situation was irreversible, and her tears fell even more fiercely, but she did not speak.

Joshua pulled her into his arms, saying, “Lexie, I’m sorry...”

Joshua understood that what he tried to do was pretty immoral.

But he couldn‘t help it.

Even if it meant hurting other people‘s feelings and interests, Joshua wanted to live happily.

Lexie cried for a while, but Joshua didn‘t relent, so she quickly stopped crying.

She asked, “How long do you need me to wait for you?”

“... I don‘t know.”

This answer again.

Lexie hated this answer so much.

But Joshua was unwilling, so she could not force him.

Lexie lay in his arms and said obediently and sensibly, “Joshua, no matter what, I will wait for you.”

Hearing this, Joshua felt even more guilty toward Lexie.

Such a good girl, but he failed her.

11 Joshua chose Anaya, he would definitely give Lexie huge compensation.

“Lexie, thank you for understanding me so much.”

“Of course.”

Lexie‘s voice was harmless, but from an angle that Joshua could not see, her eyes were extremely rese

Lexie new that she gotta get rid of Anaya, this obstacle, now.
