What was Joshua’s new excuse?He was not drunk. He was well aware the entire time that she was Luna and not Luna Gibson.However…Ding, dong! The doorbell abruptly rang.Accompanied by the doorbell was Theo’s concerned voice. “How are you? Are you feeling better? I brought you some breakfast. Come and have some.”Theo still remembered how Luna felt depressed due to Nellie’s call.“Luna?”Joshua furrowed his brows. He was about to get up and open the door, but Luna held him back.“Don’t embarrass me! It might not be embarrassing for you, but it is for me!”She bit her lip and pushed Joshua into the bedroom. “If you dare come out, I’ll immediately publicize the footage of Alice at the art gallery!”Luna then closed the bedroom door. She also placed Joshua’s shoes behind her luggage.With all that done, Luna took a deep breath and opened the door.“You’re up?” Theo chuckled gently. He entered the room.Luna could not stop him in time. She could only follow him sheepishly.
“Put that down!”Just when Joshua was staring at the photo album in a daze, he suddenly heard a woman’s voice from behind him.The next second, Luna immediately rushed forward and snatched the photo album from Joshua’s arms. “Who gave you the permission to touch my things?!”This photo album was a birthday gift from Nigel. He spent his days in the hospital ever since they found out he had leukemia.Although Nigel was young, he was aware of life and death. He was afraid that he might die one day and that Luna might miss him, so he secretly made this photo album for her.“There are no photos where Neil and I are together in this album. If I were to die one day, treat me and Neil as the same person.”Nigel’s words back then still rang in her ears.Seeing how nervous she looked, Joshua furrowed his brows. “Neil has had a serious illness?”“No.” Luna turned around and carefully kept the album away. “Only the small flu.”“He stayed in the hospital for a few months because of the sma
The only other person Luna showed the video to was Nigel.Nigel was a mature kid, and he would not have simply posted the video. Other than him, there was no one else.“I’ll give you a day to properly think of it. Best if you could give me a list of those who’d be able to obtain the footage. I want to investigate them one by one.”Luna felt that it was strange. “If you think that the news is bad, why don’t you just block it?”Joshua looked at her coldly. “This footage will affect Alice. I have to check the source of it and prevent that person from posting it again, so Alice doesn’t have to suffer.”Luna found it comical at his pretense of caring for Alice.He slept with her the night before, yet he could worry about Alice on her bed at that moment, thinking of how to settle problems on Alice’s behalf.What a great man.Suddenly, the doorbell rang once more.Theo’s clear and gentle voice came through. “Luna, are you ready? We should go.”“Coming,” Luna simply responded before
“Luna.”After saying goodbye to Theo, Luna just entered Lynch Group Tower when someone stopped her. It was no other than the person who shared the exact face as her previous self, Mrs. Lynch.The lobby of the office was filled with people.Due to the news the day before, plus the incident of the video that day, everyone in the office seemed to know about Luna and Alice.Everyone was on stake-out. Some peeped in secret, while some were bolder that they immediately took their phone out and started filming.Luna disliked the feeling of being placed under the spotlight.She furrowed her brows and looked at Alice coldly. “Just say what you want to say.”Thud! Alice immediately knelt in front of Luna without any warning, and gasps echoed in the entire lobby.Alice was also Joshua’s wife, no less! The boss’ wife knelt before Luna, a mere staff of the office! Luna took a step back and rubbed the middle of her brows. What she said in the car previously was right—Alice was a stra
Luna lowered her gaze and looked at Alice on the floor. “What great acting you have, Mrs. Lynch.”Alice lifted her head and looked at Luna with tears in her eyes. “You’re still not willing to forgive me, is it?”“She just pushed you! It was only a painting!”“Her husband even paid for the painting, and it’s not your money. Why can’t you forgive her?”“Also, which ordinary woman would work with another husband so late into the night? Who are you lying to?”“The legitimate wife was merely teaching the mistress a lesson. Now that the wife is begging for forgiveness, the mistress refused to forgive her? What kind of world is this?” “Before Mrs. Lynch came back to the country, didn’t they announce their relationship? I’m sure they hooked up before then.” Alice turned to look at the crowd who was bad-mouthing Joshua with teary eyes. “Don’t you dare talk nonsense. My husband treats me well. I know clearly how much he loves me. He just got carried away for a moment.” Standing in t
Central Hospital.Nellie sat on a bench and swung her legs as she sucked on a lollipop.She looked through the glass window with her huge black eyes. Joshua was struggling to pin a young child down to let the doctor take blood.“Uncle Lucas, is Daddy in a bad mood today?”It was the weekend. Nellie and Neil finally did not need to go to kindergarten. They planned to sleep in, but Joshua rushed into their rooms early in the morning and dragged them to the hospital for a body checkup.That went especially for Neil.He went through more tests than she did. Lucas did not know how to explain to Nellie. He could only wipe off his sweat. “Uh…perhaps President Lynch thinks that it's time for both of you to have a body checkup…”In truth, Lucas also did not know what Joshua was up to.When he arrived at Lynch Group that morning, he saw Alice gathering with a few other men by the entrance, talking among themselves.Lucas thought that Alice was checking up on him. After all, Joshua was
Neil immediately deleted the photo.Although he looked exactly like Nigel, there were subtle differences if one were to look closely.Joshua was a meticulous person, and Neil feared he might notice them. After deleting the photo, he returned the phone to Joshua. “What other tests are there? Let me do them, but you can’t disturb us anymore for the rest of the day.” Joshua furrowed his brows. “Why are you suddenly so cooperative?’Neil put up great resistance ever since he brought them to the hospital. Otherwise, Joshua would not have had to keep a close eye on them.Who knew Neil would turn so obedient after looking at the photo?Neil rolled his eyes. “I thought that you were afraid that we weren’t sick, so you hoped for us to die earlier. After seeing the photo, I now know that you’re concerned for me. I’ll reluctantly cooperate then.”Then, Neil ignored Joshua and rolled up his sleeves, letting the nurse take his blood.At the sight of him finally cooperating, Joshua let ou
Joshua put the phone down and took his phone out to call Alice.The moment the call got through, a familiar ring tone came from the entrance of the elevator at the end of the corridor.Joshua subconsciously turned to look.A tear-streaked Alice looked panicked as she rushed over frantically. “Is Neil and Nellie alright? Why did they have to come for a body checkup?”Seeing Alice’s tear-streaked and worried look, a layer of detest washed over Joshua.When he went back home to pick up Neil and Nellie, he even deliberately asked Lily whether Alice knew that the kids suffered the night before.“After you left last night, Mrs. Lynch entered the room and never came out again. This morning, once she got up, she headed straight down for breakfast and left straight away.”Lily’s voice still rang in Joshua’s ears. “After making Neil and Nellie drink milk, she never stepped foot in the children’s room anymore.”Joshua looked at Alice walking over with teary eyes, and he suddenly felt mise
