-Because of this, none of them had any reason to murder Todd, unless…
Joshua opened his eyes, and a glimmer of malice flashed through his dark, inky eyes.
Unless the person named Star had found out that he was investigating Heather’s death and killed Todd
to prevent him from discovering their involvement.
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua picked up his laptop once more and started working.
He had always known that Todd was involved in Heather and Colin’s accidents, but this was the first time
he discovered that he was also connected to Aunt Lucy’s death.
Unfortunately, because Todd had died, there were no other clues-apart from this book-leading him to
anything to do with these deaths, much less to the person named Star, who seemed to be behind all this.
However, this was not entirely futile.
After all, he finally understood that the Landry family had not been behind Aunt Lucy’s death.
Charles could not possibly have let Todd kill his brother Colin after hiring him to murder Lucy.
Most importantly, Charles was in Lincoln City, receiving treatment for his mental instability.
Therefore, he could not possibly order for Todd to be murdered at all.
As soon as he thought of this, Joshua could not help curling his lips into a smile.
It seemed that the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families had, in fact, been the doing of this
person named Star.
Therefore, he and Luna were not enemies at all, and they should not be forced to oppose each other!
To Joshua, there was no better news than this one.
He let out a sigh of relief, feeling as though the tension that had been cooped up inside his body for the
past year was now released.
At this moment, Luna came downstairs.
After returning to her room, she tossed and turned countless times, unable to fall asleep.
Frustrated and thirsty, she decided to go down to the kitchen to get a glass of water.
As soon as she descended the stairs, she caught sight of Joshua sitting on the sofa with his back facing
her. He was staring at his laptop screen while his nimble fingers danced across the keyboard.
The light from the laptop screen shone onto his face, and from her angle, the only thing she could see
was his chiseled, somewhat lonely figure.
Luna immediately glanced at the time.
It was already past midnight; when was Joshua going to rest?
Luna furrowed her brows and asked, “Don’t you have work tomorrow?”
At this moment, Joshua was typing his plans on his laptop, and his fingers froze when he heard Luna’s
voice.
A split second later, he put down his laptop, stood up, and turned to stare at Luna. “Why aren’t you
asleep
yet?”
There was a hint of excitement in his eyes.
Luna furrowed her brows and replied, “I can’t sleep, probably because I’m still a little full from dinner.”
As she said this, she descended the last flight of stairs and strode toward the kitchen, holding a glass in
her hand.
She remembered that there was a pot of lavender tea that Dr. Rachel had made for Theo in the kitchen.
However, before she could find the pot of tea, she suddenly felt herself being lifted off the ground.
Joshua had come up to her from behind and picked her up from the ground.
Luna let out a shriek of surprise, almost dropping her glass.
Joshua picked her up in his arms, and she shot him an accusing look. “Are you crazy, Joshua Lynch?”
“Yes, I am.” He placed Luna on the kitchen island, tilted her chin slightly, and pressed his lips against
hers. “I’m crazy for you.”
