“Drink mine.” Seeing the empty bowl in front of Joshua, Luna was stunned.This…Beside them, Aura was furious.Michael that idiot! That was the last of the poison she had! She wanted to personally watch Luna drink it and wait for the poison to take effect tonight! But that idiot had drunk it all! Joshua smiled happily at the fury and annoyance in Aura’s eyes. "Then I would really like to thank my brother for caring about my health so much and giving me this bowl of soup." With that, he took the bowl of mushroom soup and drank it.Michael did not understand the meaning behind Joshua's words but thought that Joshua deliberately smiled to save himself because he had failed at his attempt to flaunt his love in public.Michael was even happier, he sneered as he ate, curling his lips as he said, “Don't thank me, it’s what I should do."Seeing his smug look, Luna silently shook her head, then lowered her head and continued to eat.Fortunately, this type of poison was slow-acting and
After dinner, Luna returned to her room and continued watching the video of the jewelry design exhibition. But somehow, she felt hot. Even after lowering the temperature on the air-conditioning and goosebumps appeared all over her skin from the cold air, she still felt hot. She thought she had fallen sick, so she took a shower. And felt even hotter. In the end, she had no choice but to walk to the balcony in her pajamas and sip on some water. That was odd. It was already autumn, fallen leaves were strewn all over the garden, and yet she felt so hot that she wanted to immerse her entire body in ice water. “Luna.” Suddenly, a man’s low voice drifted into her ears. She frowned and unconsciously looked in the direction of the voice. In the little garden beneath her balcony, the tall and lean man stood there with a smile, an ash grey trench coat hanging from his shoulders. The moonlight shone on his well-defined features, making him look particularly handsome. Luna’s heart fluttered
At that moment, both Aura and Michael started to feel the effects of the drug. Sitting in the living room, both of them exchanged glances in the dark. Michael frowned. “Why did the power go out suddenly?”Aura sneered, “You can’t find her because the power is out?” She rolled her eyes at him. “The drug should have taken effect by now. I’ll go look for Joshua, you go to Luna.”Michael shrugged and stood up, stumbling in the dark as he headed upstairs. After he left, Aura sucked in a deep breath and took a bottle of perfume out of her bag that smelled exactly like Luna. Even though the drug was strong enough to make him lose his mind, she was still afraid that Joshua would recognize her. It was best if he thought she was Luna. Upstairs ——Michael too, changed into clothes and looked like and even smelled exactly the same as Joshua. He knew too, even under the influence of the drug, she would definitely be thinking of Joshua. As long as he dressed and smelled like him, and kept q
Luna paused, then realized the reason she kept feeling hot although she turned on the air-conditioning and drank cold water was because of the drug. At that thought, she felt even hotter, the blush on her cheeks deepening. She reached out a hand and patted her flaming cheeks. From the dim lighting in the car, she saw a similar sheen of sweat on his forehead. He seemed to be in more pain than her. At least she had a cup of iced tea, while he drank nothing. She bit her lip. “What should we do?” Joshua narrowed his eyes, forcefully controlling the broiling hormones in his body. “I’ll give you two choices. Either we go to the hospital, or a hotel.” He turned around, her blushing face reflecting in his deep, bottomless eyes. “Which one do you choose?” Luna stiffened. Hospital, or hotel. She was an adult, she knew what he meant by giving her those two choices. Somehow, she frowned and said, “Isn’t the hospital quite far away?” There was a hint of a laugh in his low voice. “It i
"I told that lady that you’re my love of life. The things that are important to you are as important as my life. If she refuses to give me that piece of jewelry...I will do all I could to get it.""Do all you could?""We have business dealings, we could cooperate or become enemies. I told her I would do all I could to get it, guess what she would choose?"Luna finally realized the truth. "It's that simple?""Of course it's not that simple." Joshua snorted and continued to kiss her lips. "Do you think it's easy for me to say that you are the love of my life?"Luna was stunned. Suddenly she realized that he seemed to be...Was he confessing?She pursed her lips and was about to say something, but was rudely interrupted by him. She could not say anything. Her mind was filled with nothing but chaos and confusion. All she could see was his handsome and charming face in front of her. The heady atmosphere filled the entire room.It was a crazy night.Early the next morning, when th
“Why are you screaming?!” Aura’s head throbbed in pain at his loud scream. She glared at him. “Get out!” Michael clutched the blankets to cover himself. “Why is it you? Last night, I made sure I smelled Luna’s scent and her clothes before I…”Aura scoffed. “You did the same thing too, wearing the same clothes and perfume as Joshua! If you didn’t dress up like Joshua, would I mix up the two of you?”With that, she picked up the clothes that he threw on the floor, stuffed them into his arms, then pushed him out of the door. “Get out!” With her roar of anger, the door was slammed shut. Looking at the tightly locked room door, Michael sighed and put on his clothes with a helpless expression on his face, then left the villa in a huff.After Michael left, Aura grew more infuriated the more she thought about it. She angrily smashed everything that could be smashed onto the ground.How could this happen? She had everything planned! How could it be Michael?!Since Michael was the one w
Obviously, Joshua spent last night alone.Aura slapped her forehead helplessly. Since Joshua fell asleep in his own bedroom last night, why did she not only fail to find Joshua? She even…with Michael...It was all because of this damn power outage!She took a deep breath and stealthily cleaned up the water stains on the ground, then took off her pajamas and lay on Joshua's bed.She stretched out her arms and hugged Joshua from behind. From an angle she was blind to, Joshua opened his pair of bottomless eyes. He looked down at the pair of hands that held him, and a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.Thinking of what Luna said to him last night, however...The man sighed invisibly. He opened his eyes as if he had just woken up, glanced at the arm of the woman who was holding him, and then turned around."You...” He furrowed his eyebrows, looking at Aura behind him with a little disgust in his eyes and also a little surprised.Aura bit her lip softly and looked at Joshua with
When Aura stood outside Joshua’s door waiting for him, she coincidentally ran into Luna, who was dressed and ready to leave. She yawned and met Aura’s eyes that looked so full of herself. She lifted her lips, acted as if she did not see her, and walked past her, heading for the staircase. When Luna walked past her, Aura narrowed her eyes. In the end, she could not help herself, reaching out to stop Luna from leaving. “I was joking. Of course, I know which woman spent the night with Joshua last night.”Luna lifted her eyebrows and glanced at Aura. “Oh, who?”“It’s me.” Aura chuckled, then lowered her voice and stuck her lips beside Luna’s ear. “I had a good time with Joshua last night, and we were very happy. You’re no match for me, Luna. Sooner or later, I want you to take your three b*stards along with you and get out of Banyan City!”As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something. "Oh, maybe you won’t even last until then."Even if Luna did not drink the last bit of medici
