Looking at Luna and Nellie’s back, Joshua pursed his lips tight. His gaze was deep and cold.“Mr. Lynch.”Neil, behind him, passed the groceries and stuffed them into Joshua’s hands. Then, he intentionally laughed. “What a joyous occasion. Mr. Lynch, you have Ms. Alice the pretty lady while my Mommy has the good-looking Theo! It’s great that the both of you are happily in love!”Joshua’s face turned blue.He swept Neil a cold glance and walked away with the groceries and a displeased face.Leaning against the car, Neil smiled and looked at Joshua’s back.‘Scumbag, you’re suffering, aren’t you?’ Neil thought.…“Mommy, where is the first aid kit?”
“Of course it is because of their daughter.” Luna smiled. “They announced on my behalf that they will be holding a press conference to properly explain the incidents today. “But.” Luna smiled and looked at Joshua. “They want me to admit during the press conference that I seduced you and had an affair with you. They also want me to explain that I was the one that released the surveillance footage, instigating the bully against Alice online.”Joshua furrowed his brows. He continued disinfecting her injuries. “What nonsense.”It did not matter whether Luna did those things that they claimed or not, she has no obligation to help Alice clear her name.Were they nuts or did they think that Luna was crazy?“I’m planning to go.” Luna lifted her head and looked at Joshua. “Since they want me to go, I’ll go.“But, I plan to clear my name.”Joshua furrowed his brows. He grabbed her arm and continued the disinfection of her injuries. “Clear what?”“To clarify that I did not seduce you n
Joshua lowered his head. He looked at Neil’s face, which was barely bigger than his palm, with a flat gaze. “What answer are you expecting by asking me this question?”Joshua’s gaze was so sharp it felt extremely dangerous.Even if he was a scumbag, Neil could not help but admit that Joshua’s gaze seemed to be able to see through someone.He looked away. He did not dare to meet Joshua’s eyes. “I’m just casually asking.”“If you’re casually asking, I’ll casually answer.”Joshua changed into a more comfortable position on the sofa. Joshua smiled flatly. “I’m still in love with her.”He closed his eyes and said flatly, “I’m still in love with the old her.”Neil’s eyes widened. He loved the old her? The old Alice Gibson was his Mommy, Luna, right? Neil immediately turned around and looked at Joshua seriously. “What about her present?”The present?Joshua changed into another posture. His eyes were still closed. He said nothing.Some questions, even he had no clear answer for th
There were still a few dishes on the counter which had not been placed on the dining table.Luna came to her senses, turned around, and entered the kitchen. She carefully carried each dish out.In a blink of an eye, the small dining table was full of dishes.There were four dishes and one soup. It was a feast.Joshua stood in the same spot, looking at the dishes on the table and Luna being busy setting the table up. His heart tightened a little.Back then, when he and Luna Gibson were still together, she would cook a feast for him almost daily and wait for him to come home.Sometimes, she would even wait until the middle of the night. When he came home, she would either be falling asleep by the dining table or lying on the sofa.That time, although he kept saying that he did not like her, seeing her this way, he would be incredibly moved.Then, he would carry her upstairs. He would get the butler to reheat the food, then he would eat the food alone at the dining table.Althoug
Joshua paused for a while holding the glass.He did not expect that Luna and Malcolm had such a relationship. He looked up at Luna, his gaze deep and endless. “How popular you are, Ms. Luna.”Luna slightly furrowed her brows. She smiled. “Thank you, Mr. Lynch.”She did not deny her relationship with Malcolm Quinn. This made Joshua slightly more annoyed.Overseas, there was Malcolm Quinn who was missing her, yet here next door, there was Theo.At that thought, Joshua was even more annoyed. He picked up the wine glass and downed it all in one go.Seeing how fast he drank, Nellie was stunned. Before she could pour more for him, Joshua immediately took over the wine bottle. He drank it straight from the bottle.Luna and the two kids were stunned, looking at Joshua finishing the bottle in one go.Thud! He placed the empty wine bottle on the dining table. “Is there more?”Neil and Nellie looked at each other. “Yes!”“I’ll go get it!” Neil immediately got down from the chair and
“You’re so nice. I almost…” He did not finish his sentence.Facing Luna’s inquisitive gaze, Joshua drunkenly chuckled. He hugged her tight in his arms. “Let’s go to sleep.”It was a night of infatuation.The next morning, Luna was woken up by the ringing of her phone.It was no one else but her own mother, Natasha.“Ms. Luna.” Natasha sounded somewhat agitated. “This morning at nine. I have already gotten people to set up the venue of the press conference. Nine o’clock at City Sports Center. You have to be there. You promised me.’Luna furrowed her brows. She had a little headache. “Yes.”“Don’t forget about it! Don’t be late and don’t miss it!”Natasha reminded her. “I recorded the conversation between you and Theo at your office yesterday! If you don’t attend today, I could only release the recording to the media!”Luna’s hand clutching the phone trembled a little.Her heart turned cold. “You recorded our conversation?”“Of course.” Natasha took a deep breath. “I don’t tru
Luna rolled her eyes at Joshua. She snatched the photo album back and put them back on her nightstand. “It's nine this morning. Mr. Lynch, you can choose to hide, but not in my house.”Then, she strode to the door and opened it. “Please.”Joshua furrowed his brows a little. “Are you trying to chase me off?”Luna sneered, “Am I not making myself obvious enough?”Joshua was silent for a while. Then, he grabbed his clothes and put them on before walking out of the door.When he walked past Luna, he stopped in his tracks. “You’re a changed woman once you put on your pants.”Luna was stunned for a moment. When she came to her senses, Joshua was already washing up in the washroom.She glared at him fiercely before turning around and headed to the other room.The apartment has a two-bedroom one-hall setup. She knew that Nellie and Neil were coming, so she simply made up the room next door for them to sleep in.She did not leave her bedroom because of Joshua last night. She did not kn
She bit her lips and looked at Joshua’s face seriously. “Please. Please don’t open the door.”At that moment, she had no other choice.Her pleas were insulting in Joshua’s eyes. Did she care so much about Theo? Did she not want other men to know about them? Was she so afraid that Theo would know about them? The more she did not want to, the more he wanted to let Theo know that she belonged to him! At that thought, Joshua immediately opened the door.Air from the outside corridor rushed in. Luna felt the cold air slicing her face. She should not have expected much from a person like Joshua.Luckily, Theo has ended the call.“Lu…”He raised his eyes and was about to call out for Luna when he saw a tall man standing by the door.Theo was stunned for a while. Then, he smiled. “Mr. Lynch, are you homeless?”Joshua gave a fake smile. “My home is wherever I want it to be.”“Does Mrs. Lynch know about this?” Theo raised his eyebrows. He looked at Luna in the distance, with her sti
