Not only that, but Rosalyn and Charles seemed to have good impressions of Sirius.Joshua could not bring out the video in a circumstance like this.These were Luna's parents, who had both just recovered from severe illnesses.It would not come off nice if he were to pull out evidence suggesting that a close friend of theirs, who had died more than 20 years ago, had committed murder.Therefore, Joshua had no choice but to sigh and find an excuse. "Nothing. We just happened to come across some things related to him when investigating the past."He shot Rosalyn a meaningful glance and added, "Initially, I thought Sirius was still alive, so I wanted to get some more information about him, but since he died more than 20 years ago…"I'll look more into this; maybe my team has somehow been on the wrong trail."Then, he straightened up and gave both Rosalyn and Charles a bow. "Sir, Ma'am, please excuse me. I have some stuff I need to take care of. Luna will be here to chat with you guys
Rosalyn could not help chuckling as she recalled this incident. "Maybe it was all just a figment of my imagination. Sirius was just a kind and gentle person, so how could he possibly have done anything to hurt Lucy?"With that, she instinctively turned to glance at Charles.Initially, she thought that Charles would be upset at the mention of Lucy's passing, but to her surprise…Charles curled his lips into a small smile when he heard this. "I agree; I don't think Sirius could've done something like that."Then, he shot Rosalyn an earnest glance and said, "Besides, I don't want Lucy's death to have had something to do with you or the people around you."He had been with Rosalyn for more than 20 years, and he knew of the tremendous sacrifices she had made for him.At this moment, he could finally admit, 20 years after Lucy's death, that he had fallen for Rosalyn.He did not want Lucy's death to have had anything to do with Rosalyn.Even though he constantly doubted himself for be
"People say that only wives who no longer care don't get jealous of other women, so does this mean you don't love me anymore, Mrs. Lynch?"Luna rolled her eyes at him. "Since when did you become so petty, Joshua Lynch?"She chose to believe him because of what they had gone through, so how dare he even say something like this?Would it make him happy for her to doubt him?Joshua could not help smiling when he heard this.He lifted her chin and was about to kiss her when someone next to them let out an awkward cough. "Um…"Caleb's hand was curled into a fist next to his mouth, feigning a cough. He said rather sheepishly, "I'm sorry; have I come at the wrong time?"A glimmer of anger shot through Joshua's eyes.Luna quickly pushed him away and turned to smile awkwardly at Caleb. "No, not at all."Joshua turned to shoot Caleb a cold glance, suppressing the annoyance in his heart. "Is there something wrong?"Caleb curled his lips into a small smile. "Of course there is. why would
"Alright, I'll do it."Theo let out a sigh and reached out to hug Roanne."Roanne." Theo's voice was as soft as a feather. "I don't know what would've happened to you if you hadn't met me, but all I know is that if it weren't for me, you wouldn't have ended up like this, and you wouldn't have gone through this suffering."Theo's voice began to choke as he held Roanne's limp body close to him. "Roanne, I never thought things would end up like this…"He had simply agreed to Joshua's request when he asked him to bring Roanne over to meet Joshua.He had just tried to help Joshua and Luna convince Roanne to wash her hands of Charlotte before it was too late.Theo never thought that his small actions would have had such a huge impact and even ended up costing Roanne her life!The memory of how Charlotte stabbed Roanne in her abdomen repeatedly haunted him like a vivid ghost.Theo let out an exhale and cupped Roanne's face in his hands as tears slid down his cheeks. "It's all my fault
Theo suddenly felt the weight in his arms lighten, and Roanne's head tilted limply to one side.Theo was frozen in shock as though he had been struck by lightning. He lowered his head to stare at Roanne in horror. "Roanne?""She's dead," a cold female voice rang out from the direction of the door, though it was graced with elegance and intellect.That voice…Theo lifted his head in surprise and immediately caught sight of Rachel standing at the door.She was dressed in a light green shirt and white trousers that made her look smart, successful, and elegant.When she saw Theo looking at her, she took out her phone to contact the hospital staff and walked slowly over to him.As soon as Theo saw her, all the longing and adoration he had for her in the past dissipated and was replaced by worry toward Roanne.He immediately lunged forward to grab Rachel's arm. "You must have some way of saving her, right? She just suffered a few knife wounds in her abdomen; how could she have died j
Rachel knew that it was petty of her to get jealous over a dead woman, but she could not find a way to get past it.She could not accept the fact that Theo had confessed his love toward her while being involved with another woman all this while.Not only that, but she had never even known about this woman's existence until this day.If she had not followed Caleb to escort Rosalyn and Charles back to Merchant City, she probably would have never found out the truth; that the man who claimed to love her had held another woman on her deathbed and even kissed her just seconds before her death."Rachel." Theo's brows were furrowed as he held a limp, no-longer-breathing Roanne. "She's had a hard life. Are you really going to argue with me about this over her dead body?"His pity and guilt toward Roanne had surpassed all of his other emotions, and as he held Roanne's body close to him, he could not understand why Rachel was behaving so petty and holding this against him.Could she not wa
Luna could tell that something was not right with Rachel, but since she was not that familiar with Rachel, she did not dare to say anything to her.Caleb shot Rachel another helpless glance as she stormed off, then entered the room with Luna and Joshua.Inside, Theo was tidying and straightening Roanne's clothes while a doctor was checking all of Roanne's vital signs.When he heard the footsteps behind him, Theo thought it was Rachel who had returned and proceeded to declare without even turning around, "Rachel, I always thought that you'd be far more mature and level-headed in a situation like this, seeing as you're older than me."I never thought that the only thing on your mind as you watched a woman die before your eyes would be jealousy toward her."I don't think this is working out, so—""So you want to dump her?" Caleb interjected coldly before Theo could even finish his sentence.He furrowed his brows and scowled at Theo. "Do you even know how happy she was last night as
Luna gasped.She could understand Theo's anger at this moment, but she never thought he would put the blame on her and Joshua.If Joshua had indeed planned to use Theo to drive a wedge between Roanne and Charlotte, did it mean that he had known since the start that Roanne would die?Roanne's death had been an accident; who would have thought Charlotte would secretly bring a weapon with her and show no mercy toward the 'sister' that had been with her for more than ten years?Besides…did this mean that if Joshua had not plotted Theo and Roanne's encounter, she would not have betrayed Charlotte and been murdered in the end?Everything that happened from the moment Theo first met Roanne until her demise had been an accident with no correlation at all.However, Theo was so submerged in his grief at this moment that he blamed Joshua for all of this!"Theo, please calm down." Joshua furrowed his brows and said in a cold, emotionless tone, "I'll ask Lucas to take care of Roanne's affair
