Luna felt as if she was doused with ice-cold water.Gwen grabbed her hand, her voice filled with anxiety. “Luna, w—why don’t you…head down to have a look? Joshua doesn’t look like he was joking. Ben…”Luna looked at Gwen, but her voice sounded as if it came from another dimension. She had thought of how Joshua might get angry at her for escaping, but she never would have thought that…That he would be so extreme.He hired the biggest gangs in Sea City and put a bounty on her. Then, he came to Gwen’s house and threatened her with Ben’s life.Why was he so angry that she escaped last night? Was he so angry that he had to spend so much effort to get her back?Luna bit her lips harshly.After a while, she composed herself and grabbed Gwen’s hand with her other hand.“Don’t worry. I’ll…”She looked at the reflection of herself on the glass in the corridor. Her hair was in a mess. “I’ll clean up and head down. Go down for now, and tell Joshua that I’ll see him immediately. Ask
Joshua frowned harshly as he sized her up with a complicated gaze.She had dark circles under her eyes. While it looked like she did not sleep well the night before, it seemed like she was not hurt.Joshua let out an inconspicuous sigh of relief.“Luna.”Gwen sat on the floor by the side as she held Ben tightly. She looked at Luna with reddened eyes.Ben’s leg still bled at that point.Luna pursed her lips and calmly looked at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, you were looking for me, so I’m here now. You don’t have to cause them any more trouble.”Then, she looked at the blood on the floor and furrowed her brows tightly. “Go see a doctor.”Gwen bit her lips and looked at Joshua fearfully.Without Joshua’s approval, she would not even dare to dress Ben’s wounds.Joshua calmly looked at Ben, who was pale due to blood loss, then at Gwen next to Ben. He slowly smiled. “Go straight to the hospital.”Gwen paused a little.It was their home. If she was to take Ben to the hospital, would Josh
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly turned weird.Joshua did not react in time to Luna’s sudden movements. His body’s instincts were much faster than the brain’s reasoning.He looked at her fair neck and those flaming red lips. He looked at her closer.In the living room, not only Joshua studied her. Almost everyone else did as well.The bodyguards were all stunned. How bold of her to do that! Still...she had a great figure, too! Noticing the bodyguards’ gaze on Luna, Joshua furrowed his brows tightly as he growled, “Turn around!”The bodyguards immediately obeyed and turned around in unison. No one dared to peep at Luna anymore.Joshua angrily took the thin blanket on the sofa and covered Luna. “Have you gone nuts?”When she still had her trench coat on, he could only make out her long legs.He thought that she would have worn a pair of shorts or a short skirt underneath her coat.At that moment, when he saw her…“I’m not crazy.” Luna smiled. She boldly bent down
Joshua left Alice alone early in the morning and led a huge group to search for Luna.He hired the gangs in Sea City to help him, all for that woman. He even put a bounty on her head! The news from the bodyguards was even more shocking, one after the other! Each piece of news was enough for her to want to chop up that b*tch into a million pieces! How could there be such a horrible b*tch in the world?Joshua clearly made up his mind that she was Luna Gibson and that she was his wife, so why did Luna so despicably stick around?Suddenly, her phone rang.As she read the message on her phone, Alice’s eyes widened.A moment later, she angrily threw her phone to the side.Slam! The phone hit the wall.The loud sound made the other person in the room cower uncontrollably.After a long while, Hailey carefully raised her head and looked at Alice. “Miss, what happened?”Alice angrily furrowed her brows as she sat on the sofa.“Luna seduced Joshua. They’re in bed now.”Hailey
Luna’s eyes seemed to smile as she spoke. Her tone was relaxed, too.However, only she would know how much in despair she was and how cold her heart was.Even if she knew Joshua’s plans and arrangements, she could not confront Joshua directly. Nigel still waited for her to rescue him.She could not let her momentary emotions spoil her entire plan! With that in mind, Luna could only use this way of pretending to be relaxed to get closer to Joshua. She brushed the incident off casually. After all, she had slept with him—everyone witnessed it downstairs. She guessed that Joshua could not possibly send her to those escorts anymore.However, Luna did not expect that Joshua would continue to play dumb with her.Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little. He looked at her with a rather complicated gaze. “What are you talking about?”Luna was stunned. She looked at Joshua, and she suddenly felt that pretending to be relaxed made it seem quite comical.It turned out that when she tried her best
When he heard the sounds of water in the bathroom, Joshua closed his eyes and sighed.At that moment, his phone rang.It was news from Lucas downstairs. “Sir, I’ve checked on it. Theo is currently in the police station, and he’s accusing us of premeditated harm toward Luna. According to his statement, two groups were chasing after them, trapping him and Luna from the front and back. They had to fight for their lives to escape. He also said…”Lucas was silent for a while. He cleared his throat gently.“He also said that we brought five escorts and that we planned on using the escorts to defile Luna, then take a video of her with them to threaten her.”Lucas furrowed his brows. “No wonder he’s an artist. What vivid imagination he has…”With his brows furrowed a little, Joshua gripped his phone tighter.He glanced at the bathroom. Luna’s words a moment ago haunted his ears.“Why did you have to get five to six escorts to sleep with me just to avenge Alice? You sure do think high
Luna turned around and looked out of the window. She did not dare meet Joshua’s gaze.Joshua took a deep breath and looked at the back of her head.“Last night, I…I was worried that Theo would do inappropriate things to you after he took you away while you were drunk, so I got Lucas to look for you.”Luna almost laughed out loud.She turned around and looked at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, are you trying to humor me? Because you were worried that Theo would do something to me, you got Lucas and five other escorts to chase after me to defile me and take pictures so you could stand up for Alice?”Luna looked at him with cold hatred in her eyes. “Mr. Lynch, are you always that cruel to the women you have sexual relationships with?”Joshua’s eyes darkened. He furrowed his brows. “I’m only trying to explain to you. I didn’t hire any escorts last night. Lucas only took Zach, Yuri, and a few other bodyguards.”Joshua glared at Luna coldly. “Do you understand what I’m saying?”Luna smi
However…She had forgotten he got injured because of her back there.She did not do it on purpose.“No need.” Joshua looked at her with darkened eyes. He then turned to the back compartment of the car and took a packet of tissues. He drew a piece of tissue out.Luna furrowed her brows and watched his every move, blurting, “You should deal with it once you’re back in the hotel. The tissue won’t be able to wipe it off cleanly.”Joshua could not help but snicker at Luna’s words.“There’s no water in my brain.”He passed the tissue to her. “Wipe it off.”Luna paused a little, not understanding what he meant.Seeing how she did not respond, Joshua furrowed his brows and turned around. He used the tissue and wiped Luna’s mouth with force.The white tissue was dyed red with fresh blood.Only then did Luna remember that when he kissed her with force a moment ago, he bit her lips.She pursed her lips and looked at him. She took the tissue and wiped off the remaining splotches of blo
