Even though their looks, their figures, and personalities were completely different. But those eyes, and the familiar feeling she brought him, were exactly the same.He murmured and opened his mouth, “Lulu…”Luna paused violently. It had been a long time since she heard him say that word… Lulu was the nickname given to her by Gwen. Gwen called her Lulu, and she in turn called Gwen, Gwennie. Later, anyone who was closer to her also addressed her as Lulu. Joshua was no exception. It was just that after she became Luna, this was the second time Joshua had mentioned this nickname. Did he… find out anything? She pursed her lips, suppressed the confusion in the bottom of her heart, and looked at him, her lips curled up in a slight smile. “Mr. Lynch, what did you say?” Only then did Joshua recover his wits. He smiled wryly. “Nothing.” With that, he sucked in a deep breath, raised his leg, and stepped into the elevator. When both of them reached the ground floor, Luke was leaning o
Luna almost lost her cool and laughed out loud. How thick-skinned could he be?Back then, he almost killed her and their three children, and now when he mentioned the past, he could still be so sure, so confident that even if the children did not have heartbeats yet, she would still keep them. Because she still loved him.Where did his confidence come from, to think that the woman he almost pushed into the gates of hell would still love him? Joshua clearly read the disdain and scorn in her eyes. He frowned, leaning back on the chair in displeasure. “You seem to doubt my words a lot?”“Not really,” she smiled faintly. “I was just thinking, if back then her unborn children did not have heartbeats yet when Luna met with the accident, whether the final outcome would be the same.”Back then, she hated Joshua to his core, she wished she could feast on his flesh and quench her thirst with his blood to quell the hatred in her heart. But in the end, she still gave birth to his children.
Joshua smiled faintly, lowering his eyes as he fiddled with his coffee mug. “Initially, the way I wanted you to repay my kindness was by continuing to helm the project for next season’s jewelry designs. Unexpectedly… you got the wrong idea, Ms. Luna.” He raised his head and looked at her, seeming to be in a good mood. “Then it is decided. I’ll help you persuade Luke, and you’ll help me…” Luna was so embarrassed she wanted to bury her head in the ground and die, she was worried he would really say he wanted her to give birth to his child, so she hurriedly opened her mouth to interrupt him. “I’ll help you with the jewelry projects for the next season.”Joshua curled his lips, eyes sweeping across her face faintly. “Of course. I won’t ask you to do anything else to repay my kindness, except for something work-related.” With that, he stood up, lifted his legs, and left.Luna sat in her spot and watched his retreating back, her entire body stiff. She raised a hand and patted her cheek
Luke was surprised to receive Luna’s request.He lifted his lips in a cold smile, gaze studying Luna’s expression from top to bottom. “You have Joshua, why would you need my protection?”Luna remained silent. Luke raised an eyebrow. “Why, did you have a fight?” “Luke.” Noticing Luna’s ugly expression, Gwen hurriedly interrupted him. “Why are you asking so many questions? It’s not difficult for you to arrange for a few men to protect Luna.” The moment Gwen said this, sure enough, Luke stopped his questioning. He smiled faintly. “It’s no big deal, I’ll transfer the man who was in charge of keeping an eye on Gwen to make sure she didn’t commit suicide again to protect you.”Gwen frowned. “Is it enough?” Somehow, she remembered he only arranged for a middle-aged caretaker to watch over her and prevent her from committing suicide again.“Eight men still isn’t enough?” Luke lowered his head and held the sandwich gently with his hand. “Come on, open your mouth.” Both Luna and Gwen
Luna accepted the invitation and laughed helplessly as she tore it apart, “I’m afraid the clan member from back then must have forgotten me a long time ago."In high school, in order to play with Gwen, Luna downloaded Lost and registered for an account, even creating a character. As a rookie in the game, she stumbled around in the game, even walking was difficult for her. Later, she met a clan member from the clan that she later joined. He taught her how to play the game, helping her level up and fighting bosses in dungeons, the two of them had a good time playing together. During that time, Luna gradually started to have feelings for him, and he too told her she was very special.Later on, he said he only played the game to try it out, he was too busy with his job in real life and would stop playing. Since then, he never came online again.After he left, Luna was upset for a period of time, so she too put aside the game. The last day she logged onto the game was the day she reg
The next day, Luna was rudely awoken by Gwen early in the morning.“Don’t forget you have a wedding to attend today! Remember to dress nicely, you still have to meet your clan members!”Luna was amused by how excited she sounded. “Judging from how excited you are, I’m starting to wonder if you’re the bride today.” Gwen rolled her eyes. "Damn you." Luna shrugged, climbing out of bed to wash herself. “Do you want me to bring you back a present, a souvenir or something?” Gwen pondered her question for a while. “Then take some photos to show me, and bring me the door gift that they give out to guests!”“Okay.” After agreeing, Luna changed into some clean clothes and entered the taxi heading for the Ocean View Hotel. On the way, she switched on her phone and found the number that she just added last night, sending him a message. “I’m on my way, when will you be there?” His response came in the form of a photo. The photo showed the wedding hall, beside it was his table number, 5
“I’m glad she’s beautiful! I knew she would be a very beautiful girl! Don’t forget to take more photos of the wedding and show them to me once you’re back! Oh right, have you met that clan member yet?” Luna paused, then instinctively looked into the wedding hall. Table number 55 was empty. She licked her lips. “He just sent me a photo saying he’s already at the wedding hall… but I think he walked out for a moment…”“I’m glad he’s there! I was worried you would feel bored attending the wedding alone, with someone to talk to and reminisce with, I’m sure you won’t feel lonely! I’m not as lucky as you, Luke sent me medicine to stabilize the baby again today…” Luna sighed, listening to Gwen’s weak voice. Suddenly, she did not dare tell her the truth. Gwen obviously idolized the female clan leader. If she knew her groom was Ben… Luna could not bear to imagine the consequences.Sighing, she comforted Gwen for a few moments before hanging up. Putting away her phone, she turned and saw Jo
[How long more do you need?]Luna waited for a long time at table number 55 but still, no one came. She could not help herself and sent him a message to ask him about it. Very soon, a reply came from the man. [I’m sorry, a work emergency cropped up, I’m already at the airport.]From a near distance, Joshua clearly saw the dip in Luna’s shoulders after he sent the message. But still, she found a smiley face in the messaging app. [It’s okay, work is more important. Receiving your gift has already made me happy enough.] Maybe he was already here, but he was disappointed at her and did not want to see her? Luna was no longer an innocent teenage girl, she knew there must be a reason behind an excuse like this. But since he was not willing to tell her, there was no point in asking further. Not meeting in real life might be a good idea too, at least that way they could still maintain their original good impression of each other. That was good too. At this thought, Luna carefully pla
