Joshua sighed and looked at the woman being buried in his arms. He wanted to raise his hand and pat her back comfortingly. However, he raised his hand and it stopped in mid-air. He could not find a way to bring his hand down.In the end, Joshua could only sigh, “Alice, I have protected you for far too long. I really hope there is no next time.”“There won’t be.”Alice buried herself in Joshua’s arms. In a place where he could not see her face, she narrowed her eyes fiercely.The only reason she agreed to sign the divorce papers was just to pacify Joshua for the time being.In a few days, when this matter had died down, she had to find a chance to secretly get the divorce paper back! Worse comes to worst, she would burn the place where Joshua kept the divorce paper down! By then, if the divorce paper went missing, Joshua would not be able to divorce her too.…Theo and the mysterious person agreed to meet at the Bamboo Palace at 8 p.m.At 7.30 p.m., Luna and Theo were alread
Luna laughed, “With your relationship with Mr. Lynch, do you still need to use such a way for him to owe you one?”Jude gracefully placed the teacup down. He flatly glanced at Luna. “What I’m saying is the truth. It’s the truth.”Then, Jude yawned and looked at Theo. “You invited me over just so your girlfriend can interrogate me?”Theo laughed. Jude called Luna his girlfriend. He was extremely pleased about that.“Mr. Smith, don’t mind her. Luna is just being curious.”“There is nothing to be curious about.”Jude elegantly lifted his gaze and looked at Luna. “I might expand into the jewelry business in the future. There is nothing wrong in making an acquaintance with you, Ms. Luna.”Jude placed his business card in front of Luna. “If you have plans of changing companies, contact me. Although Joshua and I are friends, things like poaching his staff should still be done.”Then, Jude gracefully adjusted the tie on his neck, turned around, and left.Luna remained seated on the ch
“Theo said that the skull as an element represented a dispirited object.”“Luna said…” Jude thought for a while before saying, “The skull represented evil and coldness, also something that should have died long ago yet it still existed. That’s what she said.”Joshua gripped the documents so tightly his knuckles started to turn white.That design sketch that he took from Luna’s office was still in his study.He thought that Luna would design something meaningful for him, modeling his hand after her sketches.However, he did not expect that this was the meaning behind it. Evil and cold.Something that should have long died, yet still existed.Turns out, this was how Luna viewed him. He even still tried to find ways to help her and Theo in this matter.Joshua narrowed his eyes. He closed his documents coldly. “Lucas, go.”Jude raised his eyebrows. “We’re leaving just like that?”“If not?” Joshua coldly swept Jude a gaze. “What? Should we go up and have a cup or two with them?”
After the incident with Irene, Luna had no longer seen Joshua.As the project was coming to an end, she got busier. Luna no longer had the time to think of him.Finally, the project was completed on time.Luna’s designs were sold out once they went on the market.“As expected from Moon the great designer, you’re better than the rest!”Sitting on the sofa, Anne was eating fruits while listening to the news. She turned to look at Luna who was packing up.“How many days of leave did Joshua give you?”Luna continued packing. “This morning, Lucas sent me a message. Half a month.”Anne furrowed her brows. “You still haven’t seen Joshua?”Upon mentioning that, Luna could not help but furrow her brows and sigh, “Yes.”After Irene’s press conference, Joshua had been deliberately avoiding her.No matter whether Luna went to his office or in a meeting, she would not see him anywhere.She has tried to wait for him in his office or downstairs but to no avail.At that thought, a deep se
Looking at Theo from a distance, he looked like a teenager in love.Across the road, once Luna got down from the taxi, she immediately saw Theo hugging the bouquet of roses and smiling from ear to ear.The vein on Luna’s forehead popped.The reason she asked Theo out that night was to end things properly. In her pocket, there was a pair of rings that she made herself to wish Theo and his future partner all the happiness.However, at that moment, looking at the bouquet of roses in Theo’s arms, she had mixed feelings.“Watch out!”Just when Luna was looking at Theo, wondering how to continue the date that night, a male’s voice suddenly rang out from behind her.Luna furrowed her brows and instinctively turned back to look.In front of her eyes was a silvery flash of the blade of a knife. Just when the knife was less than 10 centimeters away from her head, Luna’s heart instinctively beat aggressively. She subconsciously took a step back.Thud! The man who was waving the knife a
Joshua raised his eyebrows and flatly swept a glance across Luna’s face.He has not seen her for a long time.Ever since he knew the meaning of her design, he has been trying to avoid her at all costs.Since she said that he was evil and aloof, a person that should have long died, why should he appear in front of her and make each other unhappy? Only that, Joshua did not expect that Luna would openly block his path in the streets.Joshua lit a cigarette. He stood there elegantly mixed with a hint of thuggishness.“I’m avoiding you?”“Are you not?”Luna raised her head and met his gaze fearlessly. “I have been trying to look for you all this while but fail every single time. If I attend a company meeting, you will refuse to join in. If you’re not avoiding me, then what are you doing?”Joshua inhaled a huge puff of the cigarette and turned to look opposite the road.Outside Bamboo Palace, Theo, in white, was still hugging a bouquet of roses. He lowered his head and looked at h
All this while, Luna had been busy working and trying to find a chance to meet Joshua. She has not contacted Gwen for a very long time.“She’s not too well.” Luke shrugged. “She’s pregnant.”Luna suddenly looked up. “Pregnant?”“Yes.”Luke furrowed her brows and fished out another cigarette from his pocket in annoyance.“Actually, this time I came to Banyan City to look for you. I want you to persuade her.”Luke lit the cigarette and took a deep puff.“She had the child for a few months already. According to the time, the child should belong to the monsters that raped her back then.”Luna’s blood froze instantly upon Luke’s words.How could this have happened?Luna’s voice was hoarse. “Did she… not take any medication after the incident?”Luke laughed, “Do you think she would have gotten pregnant if she had taken the medication?”Luna was rendered speechless.Luke lowered his head. He sounded a little depressed. “She was heavily injured back then, her situation was complic
Theo furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. “Who is he?”Luna helplessly took Luke’s arm off her shoulders. “A friend.”“How do you have friends like that?” Theo swept Luke a cold glance. Then, he stuffed the huge bouquet of roses in Luna’s arms. “Let’s go. I have been waiting for you for a long time.”There were people walking in the streets. Luke was still next to her, Luna felt embarrassed to put the bouquet of roses down, so she could only carry it. She turned to look at Luke.“Remember to contact me tomorrow.”Then, Luna turned around and left together with Theo.Once they crossed the road, Theo subconsciously turned around to look.Luke, across the road, was still standing by the bin smoking. He seemed to be troubled by something.Theo did not like men like Luke, who constantly had a cigarette with them and looked like a thug. “How come I never knew that you had friends like that?”Luna turned and swept a glance in Luke’s direction. “What about it?”She knew that Theo h
