Joshua‘s remark had reopened the wound that Theo so desperately wanted to stop thinking about. His
expression darkened, and he turned to stare out the window, avoiding Joshua‘s gaze. “I guess it‘s a
little bit of both.” Thomas turned to shoot Joshua a helpless look. “Why did you have to probe at his
wound like that?”
Then, he glanced at Theo with a sympathetic expression and added, “Don‘t worry, my friend. It takes
time and patience to wait for the woman you love to come around.”
Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and raised his brows at Thomas. “I‘m surprised you‘d say that.”
Thomas claimed that patience was needed to wait for a woman to change her mind, but he had shown
no sign of patience at all when trying to win over Yannie‘s heart.
Thomas rolled his eyes at Joshua but did not reply. Lucas, who was sitting in the driver‘s seat, chuckled
at this. “This is the first I‘ve ever seen you and Mr. Howard bicker so lightheartedly, Sir.”
Joshua and Thomas had been so preoccupied with work since they arrived in Saigen City that it had
been a while since Lucas last saw Joshua smile like this.
“Shall we return to Mr. Howard‘s house, sir?”
Joshua murmured a response, glanced at Theo once more, then lowered his head and began scrolling
through his phone.
Theo pulled his coat tighter around him and turned to stare out the window.
He knew the reason Joshua had come to Saigen City, and he was well aware of the fact that Joshua
had been extremely busy lately.
This was why he had chosen to tell Luna of his arrival but not Joshua, but he never thought that…
The black Masevati slowly pulled away from the airport entrance.
Meanwhile, inside a taxi parked in the distance, Luna glanced at the woman sitting next to her. “You
happy now?”
Rachel narrowed her eyes and curled her lips into a sneer as she watched the black Masevati leave.
“I.only came to see if he‘d frozen to death. I‘m a doctor, after all, so I can‘t possibly leave someone out
to die.”
Then, she turned away and crossed her arms in front of her chest as she leaned against the seat.
“Well, since he‘s still alive, I guess we can head back to the hotel now.”
Luna curled her lips into a weak smile and instructed the driver to return to the hotel.
All of a sudden, her phone chimed with a message from Joshua. [You guys should head home now.]
Luna smiled. [We‘re already on our way back.]
Then, she could not help adding, [Did Theo say anything to you?] Joshua glanced at the man sitting
next to him, who was staring out the window in a trance.[ He looks upset but didn‘t say anything.]
Luna pursed her lips and instinctively glanced at Rachel. [Rachel seems a little upset too.
[Why would she be when she‘s the one who refused to come pick Theo up?] Joshua replied, smirking.
[Women are so complicated, I can‘t even begin to wrap my head around her thoughts.]
Luna pouted slightly when she saw this. [You don‘t have to bother trying to figure out what other
women think; focus on trying to decode me.]
[You‘re fairly easy to decode if I do say so myself.] Luna rolled her eyes and made no further
comments.
The car soon arrived at their hotel.
As soon as the taxi pulled to a stop, Rachel yawned and hopped out of the car. “I‘m so exhausted! i‘d
better get some rest now.” Luna sighed and brought Rachel back to her room. Thankfully, the room she
and Gwen shared was a suite, and they had an extra bedroom to spare. Initially, Yannie was supposed
to stay with them, but since she was spending most of her time with Thomas, she did not need that
room anymore. This was not necessarily a bad thing since this meant they had a bedroom to spare for
Rachel. Luna and Rachel returned to the suite and rested up. The next morning, Rachel was awoken
from her slumber by Gwen knocking on her door.
