Luna took a deep breath. She downed the tea on the table in one go.
“You’re a gentle and kind-hearted man. You deserve a much better woman and deserve to find better
happiness. Not with a woman who had just climbed out from the depths of hell.“
Then, she placed the empty teacup on the table and looked at Theo meaningfully. “The reason why I
asked you out tonight…
“Is to thank you for helping me. Now that the storm has passed, no one is caring about your private life
anymore. No one cares about me anymore either. We it’s time to announce to the public about our
breakup.“
The light in Theo’s eyes dimmed a little. He looked at Luna and opened his mouth. His face was a little
ashen. “I thought…“
Theo lowered his head. “I thought that you asked me out…“
He did not finish his sentence.
“But, I can understand.“ Theo took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Luna. “You have been
hurt so badly. It’s normal that you won’t accept another man. Don’t worry, I will stay by your side and wait
for you to slowly regain trust in love.“
Then, he shredded the tickets stylishly and threw them into the bin.
“You have your things to attend to. Go and do them tomorrow. I’ll come with you.“
Luna rubbed the middle of her brows.
“Theo, don’t be stubborn. It won’t come to fruition.“
“Whether to continue or not is my decision to make, not yours.“ Theo smiled at her and directly picked up
the menu. “Let’s order.“
Luna furrowed her brows. Throughout that night, she tried to find a chance to get Theo to give up on her,
but Theo would not budge. He would even openly change the topic.
Luna was helpless. In the end, she could only let him be,
After all, she has already said what she needed to say repeatedly.
The next day at four in the morning, when Luna was still asleep, she received Luke’s call.
“Come down.“
Luna groggily opened her eyes. “So early?“
“Hmm.“ Luke’s voice was low and cold. “Gwen sliced her wrist.“
Luna instantly jumped up from the bed.
“How is she?“
“We found out in time, nothing serious.“ Luke’s voice, on the other end of the line, sounded low and
depressed. “But, she’s not in a stable mental state.
I’m worried for her. It’s better if we get back earlier.“
“I ‘ll come down now.“ Luna took a deep breath and immediately picked up the luggage that she had
packed to see Neil and Nellie the day before and directly headed out.
The morning air was rather cold. Luna shuddered while putting her luggage in the trunk. Then, she
quickly opened the car door and got in the back seat.
Once she entered, she noticed that besides her, there was another man in the back seat of Luke’s car.
Joshua, who was in black, was leaning back on the leather back seat. He closed his eyes resting.
Luna was stunned. Why was he there?
“Mr. Lynch needed to do something in Sea City with me, so he tagged along.“
Luke sat in the passenger seat in front. He calmly looked at Luna from the rearview mirror.
“If you don’t want to sit with him, you can sit in the car of one of my men.“
Luna smiled and looked at Joshua closely. “No, I can stay here.“
To be able to be in close contact with Joshua was exactly what she always wanted.
