Alice’s sobs rang out. Her back shuddered while she sobbed.
Joshua sighed and gently patted her back, “This has nothing to do with you. You left Joshua and
Natasha for so many years. Their actions have nothing to do with you.“
A hint of cunningness flashed across Alice’s eyes. She remained buried in Joshua’s arms.
After a while, Alice looked up still sobbing. “Is Luna alright? I went to visit her in the hospital this
afternoon. She treated me very badly. She said vehemently that I was the one that urged my father to
harm her…“
Alice wiped her tears. Her voice was hoarse, “I have already tried my best to apologize to her, but she
would not even accept it. She also said…“
Joshua gently rubbed Alice’s back. “What did she say?“
“She said that the apple does not fall far from the tree. Sooner or later, I will also…“
Alice choked. She was so agitated she could not finish her sentence.
The hand that Joshua was using to gently rub Alice’s back suddenly stopped.
After a while, he retracted his hands. “Are you sure that Luna said that?“
Alice nodded fervently. Tears were still streaming down her face. “Of course. I was shocked too, that
Luna would say such a thing…“
Joshua furrowed his brows. A hint of aloofness flashed across his face. “Alice, pretending to be
miserable should only be done to a certain degree. Luna is not the type of person who would say such
things. You and I know that clearly.“
Then, Joshua got up and went upstairs. He said without turning his head back. “I know that Joseph
harming Luna has nothing to do with you. Your voice is hoarse already. Go have a good rest. I ‘m going
to work.“
Tears were still by the corner of Alice’s eyes. She looked at Joshua’s back with misty eyes. “Joshua,
what are you talking about?“
Joshua turned back, smiled gently, and glanced at Alice. “You should know what I’m talking about.“
Although Joshua and Luna had not known each other for as long as he and Alice, Joshua was clear on
what type of person Luna was.
She has suffered so many accidents and unfairness previously, yet she has never once muttered such
words. How would she say those words to Alice?
No matter what, Joshua felt that Luna would never say such words.
Alice’s expressions turned from being aggrieved to shock, and finally, shame.
“I…”
“Go rest. I’m tired too.“ Joshua coldly spat out those words, turned, and went upstairs.
Alice remained in the same spot. She clenched her fists tightly.
No.
It could not be this way!
Joshua has been treating her terribly already! On top of what Luna told her that afternoon…
Alice closed her eyes and was silent for a long time. I n the end, she turned around and swept a glance
at the servants behind her. “Bring me a pot of tea.“
Twenty minutes later, there was a knock on the door of Joshua’s study.
Alice, in sexy pajamas, walked in gracefully with a tray. “Joshua.“
Joshua, who was buried in work, did not even lift his head. “Didn’t I tell you to have some rest?“
“I can’t sleep.“ Alice bit her lips and slowly walked over. She placed the tray on the table and gracefully
took the teapot and teacup out.
Alice poured tea seductively. “I purposely made a pot of tea to apologize to you.“
Joshua furrowed his brows. At that moment only he raised his head.
Alice, standing in front of him, was indeed gorgeous and seductive.
The fabric of her pajamas covered little of her body. It was as if he could tear it off with one hand.
However…
Joshua turned to look at the calendar . ”It’s almost autumn. Won’t you get cold wearing this?”
