Luna and Theo exchanged glances as soon as they heard the voice coming from the other side of the
door. They were more than familiar with it.
“Yes, it is!“ Nathan leaped out of his seat excitedly, strode over, and flung open the door.
A young couple stood outside the door. The man was tall and slender with an aura of sophistication
about him, while the woman looked serene and charming.
“You must be Mr. Lynch! “ Nathan immediately extended his hand out to shake Joshua’s. “Please come
in! “
Joshua offered a small smile and eyed Luna, who sat inside the booth. She wore a formal and elegant
skirt, and she even put on makeup. She looked much
more stunning than how she usually looked at work.
It was clear that Luna had put in the effort to look good for Theo’s parents.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and pulled Alice into the room impassively.
Alice strolled in with a smile on her face, but as soon as she caught sight of Theo and Luna in the corner,
she froze. After a moment, however, she plastered a smile on her face and greeted, “Hello, Mr. Allen.
Nice to meet you. I’m Joshua’s wife.“
She then glanced at the two people sitting in the corner. “And these two are…“
Celeste immediately stood up and pulled Theo and Luna up with her. “Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, I’m Nathan’s
wife. This is my son and our future daughter-in- law!“
Everyone in the room fell silent as soon as they heard that.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and shot Luna a cold glance.
Luna frowned and looked a little pale while Theo furrowed his brows and tugged on his mother’s arm.
“Mom, please don’t say nonsense like this. Luna and I —“
“Oh, I didn’t know you were engaged.“ Alice let go of Joshua and sat down next to Luna with a gentle
smile. “Congratulations.“ She looked up at Nathan and Celeste, who both appeared surprised by that. “ I
‘m not sure if you know this, but Luna and I have been friends for a very long time now.“
She smiled faintly at Luna. “How long have we known each other now? Six years?“
Luna forced out a smile and glanced at Alice. “More than six years. I think we’ve known each other for…
eight years now.“
The color drained from Alice’s face.
She had claimed to have known Luna for six years, which was when Luna gave birth to Neil and Nellie
so that it would match up with her lies. She had previously accused Luna of getting close to her and
stealing her children, so she had to make sure the lies were aligned.
However, Luna had declared their first meeting as eight years ago. That was when Luna and Joshua got
married!
“Eight years?” Joshua sat down and cast Luna a stern look. “Alice, didn’t you and I get married eight
years ago?”
Alice immediately stiffened. She knew Luna had said that on purpose to trip her up and force her to
invent another lie!
Alice smiled, squinting her eyes into slits. “I think Luna is mistaken. Eight years ago? We didn’t even
know each other at that time.” “Maybe she knew of you, but you didn’t, ” Joshua interjected before Alice
could finish her sentence. He fixed his gaze on Luna and asked, “How did you get to know Alice eight
years ago?”
