[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
After all, Clover could still marry him happily even though she knew he was a jerk. Plus, she even invited Ben’s ex-wife under the name that they were virtual friends, to show off the fact that she married a jerk. She was a rare breed indeed.The wedding continued without a hitch. Finally, after the bride and groom exchanged rings, Ben lifted the microphone excitedly. “Everyone present is a witness to the love Clover and I share. Today, I would like to announce another piece of good news! Clover is pregnant! The baby is going to have a heartbeat soon!” The moment Ben’s words left his mouth, claps and the guests’ well-wishes rang out in the hall, making the atmosphere bright and lively. Instead, Luna frowned, somehow feeling a wave of disgust. Her reaction was not mental, but physical. She was going to be sick. And she did indeed get sick. She snatched the paper towels from the table and could not help but lean on the table and retched.She did not eat anything from morning till
The moment the words left Joshua’s words, the crowd exploded in an uproar. Everyone stared at Joshua, busy discussing the man’s identity. “Who is he, why is he so blatantly rude and arrogant…”“You don’t know, right? He’s Mr. Joshua Lynch from Banyan City, the man who destroyed the Walter family! He acquired the Larson Group, now the Larson Group is his… And the groom, Ben Zeller’s ex-wife, is the daughter of the Larson Group…”“He must be here to cause trouble, right?” “Who would’ve thought this president is quite humane, he would even avenge the daughter of the Lynch Group after acquiring it…”“Ben is doomed…”In the wedding hall, the murmurs of the crowd rose like waves. Seeing as everyone’s attention switched from his wedding to Joshua’s identity, Ben stood on stage, so furious that his face flushed red then purple. “Mr. Lynch.” Standing beside Ben, Clover raised her lips in a faint smile. “I know you’re powerful, I also know you did not attend our wedding to wish us we
It was true that Gwen could not move on from Ben after all.She had been in love with him since high school, which was almost ten years ago now. How could she possibly have moved on from him so quickly?“Maybe Gwen didn’t come today so that you two would have a peaceful and pleasant wedding ceremony. She’s just looking out for the two of you.” Joshua could not help but sneer when he saw that Luna had fallen silent. “Miss Bailey, don’t forget that Gwen and Ben have been together for almost ten years.“Ten years is a very long time. Gwen clearly hasn’t moved on from Ben yet, but how are you certain that he has moved on from her?”Clover clenched her teeth. “Of course he has! He and I have such a strong relationship!”Joshua snickered, “Since you’re so sure that Ben has forgotten all about her in three months’ time, even though they’ve been together for almost ten years… How are you so certain that your relationship with him can last? Considering you’ve been together for barely three
There was a brief commotion as the wedding guests realized that Gwen was here.Who would have thought that one would encounter so much at a wedding?The bride had tried to show up the groom’s ex-wife by sending her a wedding invitation, only to discover that the ex-wife’s best friend had attended instead.The ex-wife’s best friend and her companion had tried to stir up unrest during the wedding, only to accidentally reveal the truth about the bride and groom’s infidelity.And then, the ex-wife herself appeared at the wedding venue…This was more dramatic than any soap opera!Luna frowned and quickly stood up. Then, she made her way to Gwen and grabbed hold of her hand. She asked in a low voice, “Gwennie, what are you doing here?”Gwen answered, her face still pale and sickly, “Luke wanted to bring me here.” She let out a sigh. “Luke is right. If I wanted to move on and forget about Ben, I shouldn’t let you attend the wedding on my behalf and ask you to show me photos later. I sh
“However.” Gwen lifted her head and stared at Ben coldly. “I’m pregnant now.”Ben immediately took a few steps back when he heard this. He turned around and glanced at Clover.Clover lowered her head but did not say anything. The color had drained from her face.Even though she did not say anything to admit or deny it, her reaction was already enough to prove Gwen right.However, Ben was not willing to believe this!He clenched his teeth in anger. “This… this is impossible!”Clover remained silent for a while more, then finally lifted her head to glare at Gwen. “Miss Larson, since you claim you’re pregnant now, then whose child is it? Could it possibly be Ben’s?”Ben froze when he heard this. Then, after a split second, he came to a realization.Clover was right. Although Gwen was his ex-wife, it had only been less than three months since they separated. If Gwen was pregnant now and the child belonged to him, this meant that there was nothing wrong with him at all!“The baby i
Joshua narrowed his eyes in a threatening manner.He fixated his cold stare on Luna and said, “Technically, I have.”He had indeed drunkenly slept with Luna before, not just once, but multiple times.Luna chuckled.Even though this man was a scumbag, at least he was honest about it. He still remembered that he had cheated on her with Aura.Luna let out an exhale and stood up, clutching the gift that Big Brother had given her. “Well, since the show is over now, it’s time for me to go back and rest now.” With that, she let out a yawn.Last night, Theo had departed abroad to find Neil and Nellie. However, the journey was a long and lonely one, so Luna had spent the entire night talking to him to keep him company.This morning, Gwen had called her first thing in the morning and insisted that she get ready for the wedding.Now that the wedding was over, Luna felt exhausted and starving. “Why don’t I send you back?” Joshua suggested, catching sight of her weary face. She looked as
She grabbed hold of Luna’s hand and said graciously, “How can you take a taxi back when you’re so exhausted? That would be extremely dangerous. We’ll send you home instead. Don’t worry; it won’t take us much time.”Then, she turned around and glanced at Joshua, a smile still hanging on her face. “Isn’t that right, Joshua?”Joshua nodded, then opened the passenger side door gracefully. “Get in.”Luna let out a sigh. As much as she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to get in the passenger’s seat while Joshua and Alice got into the backseat.Lucas started the car.The car ride from Ocean View Hotel to Starhill Hotel, where Luna was staying, took almost 40 minutes.These 40 minutes felt like torture to Luna.“Joshua, are you busy lately? When are you free? I want to take you to have some local delicacies here in Sea City.”“Joshua, we haven’t gone traveling in a long time now. Shall we go out this weekend?”“Joshua, I’ve made you your favorite chicken soup. Let’s go ba
