As soon as she heard Aura’s voice coming from the other side of the door, Luna’s entire body stiffened.At this moment, her body was pressed up against the door by Joshua, only mere centimeters away from Aura.If Aura pushed the door open at this moment, she would be able to see how disheveled Luna looked after Joshua kissed her.If Aura walked in on them like this…she would definitely destroy the antidote that she used to threaten Joshua out of anger.If this happened…Granny Lynch would never get better.As soon as she thought of this, Luna lifted her head to look at Joshua.Joshua furrowed his brows and replied to Aura impassively, “Don’t come in; I’m applying medicine to my wound. I’ll be done in a while.”Aura paused for a moment, then said in a softer tone than before, “What wound? Why don’t I help you with it?”“No, there’s no need. Just wait for a little longer,” Joshua answered in a low voice. Then, he quickly pressed a kiss onto Luna’s forehead and hid her in his offic
Just as Aura’s hand closed around the door handle, Joshua furrowed his brows and said impassively, “It’s alright, Aura.”He took off his jacket gracefully.Even though his black shirt was stained with coffee, it was not noticeable unless one took a close look.He shot Aura a vacant glance and said, “Go to the mall with me to buy another one.”With that, he gave Aura a once-over and added, “I’ll buy you two outfits, too.”This delighted Aura. She immediately released the door handle, strode over to Joshua, and said with a coy smile, “Which mall are we going to?”Joshua turned to glance in the direction of the bathroom, then smiled back at Aura. “Let’s go to your favorite one.”“Alright!” Aura followed behind Joshua, feeling overjoyed at this sudden turn of events. “I’ve already left Banyan City for a few months now, and I’ve really missed going to the malls with you…”Joshua and Aura’s voices grew further and further away.Luna waited until there was no sound coming from the ot
Luna sat on Joshua’s office chair, staring dazedly at the receipt on the computer screen, and bit down on her lip.It was clearly written on the note: ‘Payment.’What kind of payment did Joshua give Jason?Was Aura telling the truth, that Joshua had helped her pay Jason even after finding out what she had done?Not only did he pay Jason for his service, but he even used his private plane to send Jason out of Banyan City.As soon as she thought of this, Luna suddenly felt a chill go down her spine.How could this be?She closed the computer window and lifted her head to stare at the desktop background.It was a photo of Luna at the beach, back when they had first gotten married.Even though Luna was born in Sea City, there was no beach there.However, in Banyan City, she could see an endless stretch of the ocean all the time. Therefore, when she first arrived in Banyan City, Luna constantly pestered Joshua to bring her to the beach, but he was always too busy.Even if he was
Instead, Lucas lowered his head guiltily and replied, “It’s all my fault.”Aura let out a scoff, raised her voice, and said in a voice so loud that the entire floor could hear her, “In the future, the only woman who can enter Joshua’s office at her will is me. As for everyone else…”She shot Luna a cold glance. “If anyone can just come and go as they please, what’ll happen if some important document goes missing?”Aura was acting so outrageous and demanding, as though she was the rightful Mrs. Lynch.Luna let out a small smile and turned to bow at Joshua and Aura. “Alright, I understand now.”With that, she lifted her head to fixate her penetrating gaze on Joshua. “I won’t enter Mr. Lynch’s office ever again.”With that, she turned and strode away.Joshua, who had remained silent throughout this exchange, narrowed his eyes upon hearing this. He watched Luna walk away, his brows furrowed.There seemed to be something wrong with Luna…That afternoon...“There seems to be someth
Luna stared at Samson, who was talking her ear off, and could not help chuckling. “You do know a lot, Samson.”Samson rolled his eyes at her. “Of course I do. My family is also one of the wealthiest and most influential families abroad alongside the Landrys and the Quinns, so how can I not know about gossip like this?”With that, he pouted and said, “I can tell you’re not interested in gossip like this at all, so I won’t bother you any longer. It’s almost time to get off work, anyway. You should go home and rest tonight. I’m still waiting for you to give me suggestions for my proposal tomorrow, so don’t you dare be as absent-minded as you were today!”Luna curled her lips into a smile. “Alright.”It was already time to get off work.The employees in the design department were already packing their bags to leave.Luna remained seated alone in her office, her mind blank.As soon as she closed her eyes, the image of the receipt she had found on Joshua’s computer just now appeared i
How could Bonnie bear to destroy Luna’s dream?“Sometimes, you just have to rip the bandage off,” muttered Anne as she let out a sigh. Then, she picked up Luna’s phone and dialed Joshua’s number. The phone rang for a long time before it was finally answered. “Luna, didn’t I tell you not to call me? Aura was next to me just now.”“Just because Aura was next to me means you won’t pick up Luna’s calls now?” scoffed Anne, pursing her lips in disapproval. Then, she continued loudly, “Joshua Lynch, Luna is drinking her sorrows away in a bar right now because of you. You know better than anyone how she gets when she’s drunk. Be here in an hour; Bonnie and I have something to ask you.“If you don’t come within this hour, then we’ll bring Luna to flirt with the handsome guys downstairs. That’s all from me. Goodbye!” With that, Anne hung up the phone. On the other end of the line, Joshua, who was sitting in a restaurant, furrowed his brows when he heard the dial tone. Luna was drinking
When Joshua arrived at the bar, Luna was already so drunk that she was clinging onto Bonnie, spouting gibberish out of her mouth. She cried and laughed at the same time and sometimes even mistook Bonnie as her father Joseph, reprimanding him for sending her biological sister away. Sometimes, she mistook Bonnie as Neil and expressed her regret over failing to protect him. However, most of the time, Luna clung to Bonnie and cried out Joshua’s name, along with questions of ‘why’. More specifically, questions of why did he give Jason money and why did he send Jason away.“I know that deep down in your heart, you love me, but I don’t understand… I don’t understand! Since you love me, why did you ignore me even though I was sabotaged by someone else, and even…helped the culprit escape?”This was what Joshua heard as soon as he stepped foot in the private room.He furrowed his brows and immediately strode over to Bonnie’s side. Then, he released Bonnie from Luna’s grip and pulled h
Joshua furrowed his brows slightly upon hearing this.He lifted his head to glance at Bonnie impassively, then said, “You’re right. If it had been the past, I would’ve looked into this matter.”With that, he lowered his gaze and wiped a tear from the corner of Luna’s eye gently. “However, Ms. Craig, you should know that this happened shortly after Luna’s accident.“I had lost my entire world and was not in a good mental state for a while. Please forgive me for not having the mood or the time to investigate the account holder's identity and their relationship to Adrian. As for the private plane…“If I remember correctly, I didn’t give much notice to anything that happened during that time, so maybe Granny Lynch passed over the ownership of the private plane to Mr. Adrian.”Bonnie and Anne froze upon hearing this. They exchanged glances. None of them had imagined the truth to turn out like this…Initially, they wanted to summon Joshua and force him to explain everything while Lun
