Kate paused for a moment and failed to come up with a further explanation. Even though she said nothing, Luna understood what she was trying to convey.Luna was right on the money; Kate liked Luke.Kate bribed the people in the room so no one could find her, all so she would stay hidden from Luke. It was purely a little tactic that she used on the man she liked. She knew Luke cared about her and that he had promised her family to stop her from missing and losing contact. This was probably why she liked to use these little tactics to stop Luke from locating her and worry about her in return.With that, Luke would have to take some of his attention away from Gwen to look after her.With that in mind, Luna disliked Kate even more, especially since Luna was a friend of Gwen. Should there be a woman like Kate with Joshua… She would have picked a fight with Joshua because of that woman.Nevertheless, Gwen never fussed about it. In fact, Luna never knew there was such a person besides Lu
Luna was startled by Gwen's invitation. She had just driven Kate away with her sarcasm, and all of a sudden, Gwen wanted her to go shopping with Kate!Was Gwen really a person with a big heart, or did she not care about Luke at all?Luna knew that Gwen hated Luke and always tried to escape him, but Luna would not believe it if someone told her that she had no fondness for Luke whatsoever.When Luna delivered her baby, Gwen came all the way from Sea City to look after her. There were many nights when Luna would listen to Gwen crying and calling Luke's name. Although Gwen said she no longer yearned for Luke's love, her eyes would still sparkle every time she mentioned Luke.A person's eyes and emotions would not lie, which was why Luna was left baffled. If Gwen liked Luke, how could she accept having Kate linger around Luke?Inhaling deeply, Luna walked to the side with her phone at hand and lowered her voice, replying, "Gwen, what are you thinking? You know Kate has feelings for Lu
Meanwhile, Joshua was typing a message to Lucas, a small frown present on his face as he did.He looked up and smiled gently at Luna. "Go. Shopping may help you feel better."Luna nodded. Just as she was about to go upstairs to change her clothes, Joshua called out from behind her, "You have Yannie's number, don't you? Can you give it to me? I need to look for her."Luna paused in her tracks, frowning as she turned to look at Joshua. "You don't have Yannie's number?"Who was Joshua Lynch? The man who had Merchant City under his control. If he wanted to know Yannie's number, Lucas could easily get it within minutes. He did not need to ask her at all."Lucas is quite busy." Joshua curled his lips, his deep, dark eyes seemingly smiling. "Plus, here I am, telling you that I need to look for Yannie."Luna was at a loss for words as she glanced at Joshua helplessly. "Why do you need to tell me? I'm not going to overthink anything."She had nothing to worry about, whether it was with J
Stunned by Joshua's request, Yannie stared at Joshua in disbelief. "Mr. Lynch, are you…serious?"That morning, Luna had just told her to keep her distance from Thomas, and she refused it. All of a sudden, Joshua wanted her to get close to Thomas?"Yes. After much consideration, you're the perfect person to do it," replied Joshua.Joshua had seen how Yannie blatantly crossed Thomas in the morning. Thomas even took the initiative to suggest having more contact with Yannie in the future while making them promise that Yannie had to be around when he discussed business matters with Luna.Yannie would have ample time and reason to get close to Thomas. Moreover, Thomas would loosen his guard on her because Yannie hated him. It would not cross Thomas' mind that Yannie wanted to be close to him because of another reason.Thus, Yannie was the best choice.Joshua stood up and took out a black card, placing it on the coffee table. "This card has seventy-four thousand dollars in it. This is t
Although Joshua was willing to spend 148000 dollars to have Yannie collect Thomas' hair and fingernail, the job attached to it was not as easy as it sounded.Nonetheless, earning that sum would take a toll on Yannie, even if she worked her ass off. She was more willing to take the risk and earn the money in a shorter period.With that, Yannie took a deep breath and looked at Joshua earnestly. "I'll do my best."She hesitated for a long time before she resolutely took the black card from the coffee table and put it in her pocket. "Thank you for trusting me, Mr. Lynch."She turned around and was ready to leave.After just a few steps, however, a question popped into her mind. "Mr. Lynch, I don't know if I'm allowed to ask a question, but I…""You want to know why I want you to retrieve a DNA specimen from Thomas," Joshua gently interjected before Yannie could finish.Yannie nodded. "Yes, I'm quite…curious."Normally speaking, the need to undergo a DNA test was for…"I suspect th
By the time Luna arrived at the shopping mall's entrance, Gwen and Kate were chatting happily about Luke. Kate was interested in everything regarding Luke, while Gwen was not shy to share everything she knew with her.Both of them chatted happily, and from afar, both of them looked like they were best friends who had known each other forever.Only Luna knew that Gwen was not a person who could easily make friends. The only reason Gwen could get so close to Kate and talk with Kate, who had been eyeing Gwen's boyfriend for so long…was mainly because Gwen felt Kate was the best person to replace her to be with Luke upon her future escape.Standing from afar, Luna looked at them and could not tell who was the pitiable one between them.It was then that Gwen spotted Luna."Luna!" She smiled and waved at Luna. "Come on over!"Luna hid her emotions and walked toward them.Since Luna had arrived, Kate, who had been cheerfully chatting away with Gwen, quickly got on her feet and looked a
After a while, Kate yawned and tried to skirt around the question. "No…nothing in particular. I was just saying, that's all."Luna stared at Kate's pale face. Just as she was about to say something, she heard Gwen's voice from far away."Hey, you two! Don't be lazy. Come and help me look at this!"That was the best excuse for Kate to run away from answering Luna's question. She quickly dashed over. "I'm coming!"Luna furrowed her brows vehemently as she watched Kate walking toward Gwen.…When she returned home at night, she told Joshua about how much she disliked Kate. "I just don't like her. She knows Luke and Gwen are in love with each other, but she refuses to step back."At that time, Joshua was reading an email from his laptop. The email confirmed that the professionals who were going to operate for Luke and Gwen were from a medical organization from another country. The real owner of the medical organization was Kate's family.His eyes glinted as he read the email.It w
Luna's mind was initially filled with feelings of disapproval toward Kate, but as soon as she heard this, she lifted her head in delight. "You found them?""Yes." Joshua curled his lips into a smile and pulled Luna close to him, laying her head gently on his chest. He would always feel reassured by the feeling of her breath brushing against his chest."I've pretty much confirmed their identity, but I still need to wait for the DNA results."I need a little more time to obtain some DNA samples from Riley's parents, but after I get the results, I'll reveal their true identities to you."Luna bit her lip and nodded.To be honest, she wanted Joshua to reveal the identity of Riley's parents to her instantly, but since he had already made up his mind, she would respect his decision.However…She closed her eyes and laid her head against his chest, listening to the steady beating of his heart. "Since Riley's parents have been found… What about our child?"She sniffed, and a twinge of
