“Theo.“
When Theo’s hand was on the door handle, Luna frowned and called out to him, “Don’t go.“
Theo frowned, turned, and looked at her, confusion etched across his features. “Why not? He did those
things with you last night, then he brought me here, and made it look like the both of us were together!
Because he was worried his wife would find out ! A man like him, we should expose him in front of his
wife, and ruin his image! “
“What good will that do us?“ Luna closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. No one else knew Alice’s identity,
but she did. Back then, Hailey was so deeply in love with Joshua, she was even willing to go through
plastic surgery to look like the person she hated the most… She did all of that just to be together with
Joshua. That was why, even if Alice knew what happened between Luna and Joshua, nothing would
change. She would not leave him, at most she would make Joshua coax her and placate her. It was
meaningless.
Theo frowned. “Then we’ll just allow this incident to pass, just like this?“
Luna squinted. “For the moment, yes.“ She could not create too much of a fuss out of this. After all,
she had yet to get pregnant with Joshua’s child. She had to continue lying in wait.
Theo clenched his hands tightly into fists and slammed them onto the tabletop. “They’re too much! “
A long while later, he retracted his fists, raised his head, and looked at Luna seriously. “Can I… be your
boyfriend?“
Luna paused. A moment later, she smiled. “You deserve a better woman than me.“ With that, she left the
bed and entered the bathroom. “Can you go downstairs and buy me some breakfast? “ After last night’s
intense workout, she was fairly hungry.
Theo looked at her from behind and was about to say something, but stopped himself in the end.
“Joshua, eat something.“
In the room next door, Alice gently placed Joshua’s breakfast in front of him. “I purposely asked the chef
to prepare this for you, your favorite sandwich.“
Joshua glanced at the sandwich in her hands but had no appetite at all. His mind was filled with Luna’s
cold expression from the incident this morning.
“What right do you have to question me? Who are you to me?“
The man’s eyebrows furrowed.
What right did he have to question her? Who was he to her?
He was her boss! Was that enough?
He closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. A moment later, he opened them again. “I’m heading to the office
now.“ With that, he lifted his legs and left.
Alice looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and bit her lip harshly. She could tell Joshua still
cared. Still cared that Luna slept with Theo!
Her hands clenched tightly into fists. It seemed like just making them sleep together was not enough…
so, she took her phone. “Mr. Walter, send an email to all the news outlets…“
Luna had a hefty breakfast.
After breakfast, she curled up on the couch and video called Neil.
The two children were halfway through their flight and were now waiting in the airport waiting for their
connecting flight.
“Mommy, you have to take care of yourself! “ Neil said as he sipped on his juice, “This morning I rejected
Idiot Lynch when he asked whether we wanted you to come to send us off. I think you’ll cry. I hate to see
you cry.“
“Yeah, exactly. “ Beside him, Nellie smiled sweetly too, her eyes curving up into little crescents. “
Mommy, you have to take good care of yourself in the future! Don’t let Daddy bully you! “
Luna’s heart soured at the little girl’s words. Even when Nellie left her, she knew to remind her not to be
bullied by Joshua…
