Luna almost lost her cool and laughed out loud. How thick-skinned could he be?
Back then, he almost killed her and their three children, and now when he mentioned the past, he could
still be so sure, so confident that even if the children did not have heartbeats yet, she would still keep
them.
Because she still loved him.
Where did his confidence come from, to think that the woman he almost pushed into the gates of hell
would still love him?
Joshua clearly read the disdain and scorn in her eyes. He frowned, leaning back on the chair in
displeasure. “You seem to doubt my words a lot?“
“Not really, “ she smiled faintly. “I was just thinking, if back then her unborn children did not have
heartbeats yet when Luna met with the accident, whether the final outcome would be the same.“
Back then, she hated Joshua to his core, she wished she could feast on his flesh and quench her thirst
with his blood to quell the hatred in her heart. But in the end, she still gave birth to his children.
Actually, there was another reason why she could not bear to abort the children…
The babies with heartbeats were triplets. If she aborted them rashly, she would be killing three lives.
“Even if the children did not have heartbeats yet when Luna met with the accident, the final outcome
would be the same.” Joshua lifted his mug and sipped on his coffee, he obviously did not want to
continue this topic of conversation. ”You really plan to allow Gwen to take such a risk?”
Luna nodded. ”Even if it is for the sake of her own safety, we cannot go against her wishes.”
He laughed coldly, ”Is Gwen your friend, or your enemy? This is the first time I ‘in seeing someone push
her friend into a pit of fire.”
Luna interrupted him. ”Allowing her to keep this child would be truly pushing her into a pit of fire. ”
Joshua lowered his mug, looking at Luna with a deep, meaningful gaze. ”It’s just giving birth to the child
of someone you hate or aborting a fetus with a heartbeat… is it so unacceptable? “
“Yes.” She took a deep breath, and looked at him solemnly. ”Mr. Lynch, you’ re not a woman so you can’
t understand the God- given feelings a woman has towards her child. There is no mother who doesn’t
love her own child, Gwen is no exception. But this child, if she keeps it, will bring her nothing but endless
pain. Her love for her child and her hatred for the child’s father will destroy her.”
Joshua remained quiet for a while. A moment later , he switched into a more comfortable position and
leaned back in the chair, looking at Luna with faint and indifferent eyes. ”In the end, Gwen is your friend,
not mine. If you insist on helping her, I can help you.” As he spoke, he lifted his eyebrows in her direction.
”But, how do you intend to repay my kindness? I remember you already owe me enough favors as it is.“
Luna smiled. “You’re right, I do owe you many favors. Then why don’t I… “ She did not know which nerve
short-circuited in her brain, the words just flew off her tongue. “Give you a child?“
Her words caused the air between them to instantly turn quiet.
Luna regretted it the moment the words left her mouth. But there was no retracting the words she said.
After a bout of awkward silence, Luna coughed softly and turned her face away. “It’s just a joke, don’t
take it seriously, Mr. Lynch.“
Joshua looked at her flushed cheeks, a cold smile hanging on his lips. “It’s a pretty good idea. When did
you start wanting to give birth to my children?“
Luna closed her eyes, she even found it difficult to breathe, her entire body enveloped in tight layers of
nerves and awkwardness.
A moment later, she sucked in a deep breath and pulled herself together. “I was just talking nonsense.
Mr. Lynch, can’t you take a simple joke?“
