A moment later, she laughed, “You’re right, we are quite similar. But she doesn’t seem to like them anymore.”The man sucked in a breath. “People change, she’s completely different now from the woman she used to be.”Luna raided her eyes and looked at him. “Then what about you? Are you the same man you are now as you were back then?”Joshua paused, then laughed, “You didn’t know me back then.”Luna lifted her lips in a smile. “That’s true.” She knew the man he used to be, better than anyone else. The atmosphere in the restaurant turned quiet again. By the time the both of them finished their meal, each occupied with their own thoughts, the downpour outside had stopped. The fresh, earthy scent of wet soil permeated the air.Maybe because he had spent the day having fun with the children, Joshua felt particularly relaxed. That was why after dinner, he invited Luna up to the roof for moon gazing.In the night sky that was just washed by the rain, the moon was nowhere to be seen,
If only she opened this door and caught them in the act, then Luna and Joshua would never have the chance to hook up again!But…If she really did that, would Luna rather they both die together and expose her true identity? Dennis had just been imprisoned more than a month ago and she did not gain anything from the Lynch Group. If her identity was exposed at this point in time, not just her alone, but the entire Walter family would truly be left with nothing! At this thought, she could only suppress the bubbling anger in her chest, pull out the key, and go back to the room next door. The walls of the hotel were truly soundproof, even if she sat in the room beside Joshua’s, she could not hear a single sound drifting out of his room. But just because she could not hear them, did not mean they did not exist. Alice scrolled through the news on her phone in frustration, planning to employ the same trick again later, and drag Luna into this room. Right at that moment, her eyes sc
Luna’s blood froze in her veins at the sound of the man’s voice.She turned. Joshua stood at the door, his expression dark and stormy, his hand raised, blocking Theo’s path. Beside him, Alice looked in Luna’s direction with a smile on her face. Seeing her turn around, Alice widened her eyes in faux-shock. “So, last night, Luna and Mr. Allen…”As she spoke, she even walked past Theo and came to Luna’s bedside, picking up her jacket from the floor and placing it on her shoulders, “How come your clothes are all torn, Mr. Allen is such an elegant artist, why is he not gentle at all when it comes to something like this?” Luna narrowed her eyes. When Alice bent down to wrap the jacket around her shoulders, she lowered her voice and whispered, “You did this?”Alice curled her lips up in a smile. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about.” With that, she took a step backward, turned, and glanced at Theo and Joshua standing in the doorway. “Luckily, the children were sleeping in
As if he read through her mind, Joshua laughed coldly, “Forget it. Neil is a very punctual child, he already left with Nellie ten minutes ago.”A range of emotions ran across Luna’s face, from anxiety to helplessness and lastly despair. Not only did she miss out on the chance to send the children off at the airport…She could hardly explain what was going on between her and Theo. “I said, Luna and I are not involved in that sort of relationship!” Theo frowned. “There’s a misunderstanding!”“How can this be a misunderstanding?” When Theo repeatedly emphasized that he had nothing to do with Luna, Joshua finally screwed his eyebrows together, and looked at both him and Luna indifferently. “You said nothing happened between you, then how do you explain everything in this room?”In the room, not only was the entire bed in a mess, Luna’s clothes were scattered on the carpet. Her high-heels, clutch, jacket, stockings…All of that just seemed to showcase how intense the battle betwe
“The hickey on my husband’s neck… of course I planted it.”Alice still lay on Joshua’s chest arrogantly, looking at Luna condescendingly. “If it wasn’t me, don’t tell me you planted it?”Luna curled her lips, raised her eyes, and looked at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, do you also think your wife was the one who planted it?”Joshua’s expression darkened immediately. He remembered where the hickey on his neck came from. Last night, he was stargazing with Luna on the roof. He was drunk and somehow the two of them started kissing. He remembered they kissed for a long time; Luna even recklessly left a hickey on his neck.Later, the alcohol overtook his brain, and his mind fuddled. But he vaguely remembered he had slept with a woman. He thought he had spent the whole night with Luna, but unexpectedly when he woke up in the morning, the woman lying beside him was Alice! He was confused and also worried something could have happened to her…In the end, by the time he rushed to her room,
He narrowed his eyes harshly. “You are an employee of the Lynch Group! If news that your personal life is a mess spreads out, the Group’s reputation will be ruined!” Luna laughed again. “Mr. Lynch, look. Only you and Mrs. Lynch know of this matter. If neither you nor Mrs. Lynch tells anyone, how can my messy private life affect the Group’s reputation?”With that, she swept her eyes coldly at Alice. “Mrs. Lynch, do you think I’m right?”“Of course, of course.” Alice answered swiftly, but sneered from the bottom of her heart. As expected of Luna. Even at a time like this, she remembered to seal her mouth with such words. The moment Alice’s words left her mouth, Luna moved back slightly, and glanced at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, aren’t you leaving yet? Do you want to stay here and continue discussing the Lynch Group’s corporate culture with me… Or do you want to continue probing into the topic of where you got that… hickey from?”Her tone was gentle and indifferent, but the thr
“Theo.”When Theo’s hand was on the door handle, Luna frowned and called out to him, “Don’t go.”Theo frowned, turned, and looked at her, confusion etched across his features. “Why not? He did those things with you last night, then he brought me here, and made it look like the both of us were together! Because he was worried his wife would find out! A man like him, we should expose him in front of his wife, and ruin his image!”“What good will that do us?” Luna closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. No one else knew Alice’s identity, but she did. Back then, Hailey was so deeply in love with Joshua, she was even willing to go through plastic surgery to look like the person she hated the most… She did all of that just to be together with Joshua. That was why, even if Alice knew what happened between Luna and Joshua, nothing would change. She would not leave him, at most she would make Joshua coax her and placate her. It was meaningless. Theo frowned. “Then we’ll just allow this incide
She sniffed and tempered her emotions. “Is your Mommy someone who’ll be bullied so easily?”Nellie pouted. “Even though Mommy won’t be bullied, we will still worry!”Luna sighed and continued chatting with the children for a while, only hanging up reluctantly when they had to board the plane. Not long later, Theo knocked on her room door. “The car is ready.”Joshua left without even telling her, and this was the countryside. Since the amusement park was closed, not many taxis were available. That was why Theo only found a single taxi after searching downstairs for a long time.Luna sucked in a deep breath, packed her belongings, and went downstairs with Theo. But she never expected…The moment the two of them walked out of the door, they were surrounded by reporters. “Mr. Theo Allen, can I know why you and Ms. Luna walked out from the hotel at the same time, what relationship do the two of you share?”“Mr. Theo Allen, someone said they saw you entering Ms. Luna’s room last ni
