Luna’s breath caught in her throat as soon as Joshua brought up her moving her luggage into his room.
That morning, she never thought that Joshua would treat her so coldly.
When she woke up in his bed that morning, she could not help feeling a little glad, even though she was
s o exhausted that she did not even have a single ounce of strength left in her body.
She thought Joshua had been telling the truth when he told her he missed her.
She thought that when he dragged her into bed that night, it was because he could no longer suppress
his longingness and lust for her anymore.
Not only that, but when Luna recalled how nice he had been acting toward her lately, as well as his
enthusiasm in investigating Colin’s death in order to resolve the vengeance between their two families,
she could not help feeling blissful and ended up moving all her luggage into Joshua’s room.
At that time, Luna thought that some things did not need to be said, just like how he had brought her into
bed out of longing and how she had moved her stuff into his room out of the same emotions.
However, she never thought that after doing all this, the first thing she heard when she went downstairs
was Joshua telling Lucas that he was single and that there was no ‘Mrs. Lynch’ around.
His cold attitude and behavior made Luna think that her moving her belongings into his room felt like an
utter joke.
Luna still had yet to figure out how she would sneak into his room to retrieve her belongings, but at this
moment, Joshua was suggesting that they move in together.
“What gives you the right to make this decision on my behalf?”
“Well, Theo and Bonnie are both your friends, and staying with me will confer them the best protection
they can have. Besides,”
He raised his brows at her. “Didn’t you tell Lucas to pass on the message to me that you will only leave
after returning your remaining four favors? Won’t living in the same room as me allow you to repay your
debts even quicker?”
There was a teasing lilt in Joshua’s curt tone.
Luna bit her lip and clenched her fists.
She wanted to reject him, but the reasons he had given were indestructible,
He was right; both Theo and Bonnie were her friends.
Theo was the one who had sought out Dr. Liddell to treat her mother, and Bonnie had been abandoned
by her brother and was even pregnant with his child.
Because of this, Luna was morally obliged to protect them and provide them shelter in this foreign place.
However…
Luna herself was homeless and did not have much money left under her name, and on top of that, she
had even promised Shannon that she would take them in should she and the rest of her friends come to
Merchant City.
Even if she still possessed the wealth she used to, Luna was not even sure she could provide her friends
the protection they needed.
On top of that…she had indeed promised to repay her debt of gratitude to Joshua when she first sought
out his help.
As soon as she thought of this, Luna let out an exhale and replied, “Alright then. I’ll do as you say.”
With that, she tucked the medical report away and pointed at Theo’s room. “Is Bonnie in there now?”
Joshua murmured in affirmation, then closed his eyes and leaned against the sofa. “Have you decided
whether or not you should tell Bonnie about her pregnancy?”
Luna furrowed her brows. She fell silent for a moment, then nodded. “She has a right to know what’s
going on inside her body.”
It was up to Bonnie whether to keep the baby or abort it.
Even if this baby would become Luna’s niece or nephew in the future, it still did not give her the right to
hide the truth from Bonnie.
Joshua curled his lips when he heard Luna’s reply and repeated her words. “She has a right to know
what’s going on inside her body.”
This was probably something that Luke would never be able to understand,
“Bonnie.”
Luna pushed open the door to Theo’s room.
At this moment, Bonnie leaned against Theo’s headboard and watched as he sat on the bay window,
drawing.
