"You eat; I'm done with my food."With that, Joshua stood up and left.As he brushed past Luna, Joshua's shoulder bumped forcefully against Luna's and almost forced her onto the ground.However, he did not even turn around and instead stomped upstairs as though he could not feel this.Luna remained motionless, glaring at Joshua's retreating figure as she clutched her aching shoulder.What was he mad about? Had he not said these exact words to Lucas that morning?"Why did you talk to him like that?" Theo shot Luna a helpless glance, then looked at the food on the table, which Joshua had barely even touched. "He had lost his appetite this morning because of his fight with you, and now he's refusing to eat…"If this goes on any longer, his body won't be able to take it."Luna pursed her lips slightly and, after helping Bonnie settle down, plopped down into her own seat. "I hadn't even done anything to irk him, yet he got on my nerves this morning and even blamed me for it!"The m
Luna frowned when she heard this. "When did I even say that?"Bonnie rolled her eyes at her and quickly took out her phone to show Luna their conversation from the night before. "Look!"Luna glanced at the screen, her frown still etched on her face. Lo and behold, the message read, [If the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families no longer existed, will you choose to get back together with Joshua?]After reading these words a few more times, Luna finally knocked her forehead. "Had I misread the message?"She remembered that Bonnie had asked her whether she would choose to get back together with Joshua if the vengeance between their families continued to exist.Therefore, Luna had given her a direct answer of no.Why, then, did the question change?Why would she not want to be together with Joshua if they were not enemies?They had been through so much together and even shared four children, so why would she not choose him?Bonnie rolled her eyes when she saw Luna's sh
"I'll go downstairs to get you some more food.""No need." Joshua grabbed Luna's arm and, with a hint of satisfaction in his low voice, said, "You just spilled the food; it's not like it's inedible anymore."With that, he pulled her into his room and slammed the door closed behind her.Joshua removed his suit jacket and shirt elegantly, glancing at Luna at the same time. "Just put the tray on the table."Luna glanced at his desk, one littered with papers and folders full of Landry Group's information.Not only that, but there was even a handwritten note of Joshua's plan to defeat Landry Group in their upcoming business encounter.Luna furrowed her brows, tidied up Joshua's desk, and placed the tray onto it. "Are you planning to defeat Landry Group once and for all?""Yes." Joshua took off his shirt, exposing his lean and muscular body. He explained as he wiped himself clean with a towel, "Charlotte will probably get in touch with you today and try to get rid of you by forcing yo
Joshua's hand, which was holding his fork, froze in mid-air when he heard this.A split second later, he lifted his head to smile at Luna. "Okay."It had been a long time since he last tasted Luna's cooking.It had been a long time…since he felt at home.More than a year had passed since Luna was kidnapped by Hunter and brought to Merchant City.Because of this, Joshua had also been living in Merchant City for more than a year.Merchant City was thousands of kilometers away from Banyan City, and their food cultures and beliefs were as different as night and day.Truth be told, Joshua had been finding it difficult to adjust to this new lifestyle change, but he was willing to tolerate this for Luna.With Luna offering to cook for him, he had no reason not to accept.Luna pursed her lips and stared at Joshua, who was still eating, for a long time before finally saying, "Actually…what you saw of me and Bonnie's conversation last night…"That wasn't what I meant at all."Initiall
This time, Luna finally heard him correctly.She bit her lip, and the answer finally escaped from her mouth."I will."As soon as she said this, Luna suddenly realized she should not have answered so quickly, without even a single moment of hesitation.However, since the words had already gotten out, there was no room to regret it.Besides, this was the truth.Luna let out an exhale and stared at Joshua's face ardently. "Joshua, if the rivalry between the Lynch and Landry families ceased to exist, I will choose to be with you."Everyone knew just how much she loved him."In the past, I was even willing to leave everything behind in Sea City and go all the way to Banyan City to marry you."From that moment onward, I've known that there is no one else in this world that I, Luna Gibson, will love more than you."Luna let out an exhale and continued, "In the past, I never understood your actions, and I always thought you didn't love me back, but after that…"She glanced at the n
Luna was a little dazed as soon as she came out of Joshua's room.She brought the empty plate and cutlery into the kitchen and placed them in the sink. As she did this, she could not help recalling what Joshua had said to her when she was upstairs.'Gwen will die as soon as she leaves Luke.'Why?This question echoed in Luna's mind as she turned on the tap to wash the dishes.Why would Gwen die if she left Luke?Was it because Luke would send someone to kill her as soon as she left Merchant City?Even though this was not entirely impossible…Luna still thought that Luke would not be so cruel as to kill Gwen, no matter how merciless he might seem."Luna."A voice rang out from the kitchen door, one that pulled Luna back to reality.She turned around.A pale-faced Bonnie was leaning against the glass door, a dim expression in her eyes. "Do I… Do I look terrible now?"She stared at Luna with a hint of nervousness in her eyes. "There are only two hours until we depart for Landry
"Even… Even if it means I can only see him from afar."Seeing how determined Bonnie was, Luna bit her lip, unsure of what to say."Let her go." All of a sudden, a voice rang out from the stairs.The two women in the kitchen lifted their heads to gaze in the direction of the voice—Joshua, dressed entirely in black, strode down the stairs elegantly and said, "Bonnie won't be able to get the rest she deserves anyway if she doesn't get to see Jim, but…"Joshua turned and shot Bonnie a stern glance. "You must promise Luna that when following her to Landry Mansion, you have to pretend to be a servant, and you're not allowed to talk to Jim or even meet him privately."You can't let him know that you're pregnant with his child."Joshua walked down the final step, strode into the living room, and plopped down on the sofa. "I managed to get an idea of the current situation from Roanne just now."As of now, Jim has not only lost his memories, but his mind is now being controlled by Charl
The color drained from Bonnie's face when she heard Luna's words.She bit her lip and lowered her head to stare at her finger, unsure of what to do.Bonnie knew that Joshua's arrangement was the best for both her and her baby. Even she, too, had to agree that Joshua's plan was the best option she had at the moment.To return to Banyan City, where Jude would be able to help her take care of Craig Group as she got the rest she needed and waited for the child to be born…This was the best option she had to ensure that in eight months, the baby would be born smoothly.No matter how powerful Charlotte and Jim were, they would not be able to follow her to Banyan City.However, Luna's words were like a rude awakening.If she left Merchant City for eight months…Would Jim still be able to remember her after so long?Bonnie was unsure of the answer, and she was afraid to take the risk.She did not want to lose Jim; she did not want him to forget her.Seeing that Bonnie was hesitating
