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
Alice searched Joshua’s hotel room for an hour and even sifted through every single piece of paper in his briefcase, but still could not find anything.The divorce agreement papers seemingly vanished into thin air without even a single trace.An hour later, she heard someone knock on the door, followed by Lucas’ low voice. “Sir, it’s time to go to Larson Group for your meeting.”“Sir?” After waiting for a long time but heard no response, Lucas frowned and fished out the backup keys in his pocket. Then, he shoved it in the keyhole, about to open the door.Alice immediately panicked when she heard the sound of keys jangling outside and exclaimed, “Don’t come in! Joshua and I are in the room together!”Lucas immediately stopped in his tracks. “Ma’am, it’s time for Sir to attend his meeting. Everyone from Larson Group is waiting for him.”Alice frantically put everything back in their place. “Alright!” With that, she quickly walked over to Joshua and rocked him awake, calling his nam
Luna put her towel back in the bathroom and gave Gwen a sheepish smile. “I was sleeping so soundly that I didn’t hear my phone at all.”Gwen pursed her lip and let out a sigh. “So…you’re not mad at me for what happened today, right?”Gwen knew fully well that the wedding she was invited to was Ben and Clover’s.She had been in love with Ben for so long that she had to see him marrying another woman with her own eyes to give up and move on from him. However, Luke banned her from attending the wedding altogether, refusing to let her go in fear she would feel humiliated.Therefore, she had no choice but to ask Luna to go on her behalf. Luna shrugged. “I’m fine with it.”Gwen lowered her head and said, “Luna, sometimes I really admire you… You moved on from Joshua entirely, and even though you spend a lot of time with him now, you can still maintain indifference…”She sighed and lifted her head to gaze at Luna. “Don’t you even feel agitated whenever you look at Joshua? Don’t you fe
“We’re…going to the hospital.” Gwen turned around and glanced at Luna. “Luna’s sending me back to the hospital…”Joshua nodded and strode into the elevator, pushing Gwen along in front of him as he lifted his head to glance at Luna. “This is the information that the supplier in Sea City gave me. I think there’s something wrong with the data, so I wanted you to have a look at it.”Luna frowned and followed the two of them, skimming through the document Joshua had handed her.Joshua was right. According to this document, the mineral content within the gemstones did not match up with the previous data.Luna furrowed her brows, took out her phone, and started calculating the financial losses these discrepancies would cost the company. Then, she asked coldly, “Is this the only supplier list with problems? What about the previous ones?”“Lucas is still comparing them. I don’t think we should collaborate with this vendor again in the future, and I want to sue them for the losses that hav
Luna gripped the hem of her shirt tightly.Although she was not certain if she was pregnant yet, what if she really was? What would Joshua think if he found out that she got pregnant with his child?Luna gritted her teeth.Although Joshua was unfaithful, he was still a responsible father. Even though he was not fond of Luna Gibson, he still convinced himself to treat Alice well, thinking that she was Luna Gibson, the mother of his two children.If he found out that Luna had gotten pregnant with his child, would he…Luna did not even dare to imagine what would happen.She watched the scenery outside the window pass by and felt inexplicably anxious and agitated.She could not let Joshua know about the baby…Luna knew she had no way of convincing Joshua she was fine and that she did not have to go to the hospital. On the contrary, he might even grow suspicious if she continued to persuade him.However, she did not dare jump out of the car for fear of hurting the fetus inside her…
Luna paused, then let out a sigh and glanced at the doctor. “I’m not sure yet. It’s just a suspicion.”“Are you planning to abort the fetus if you’re pregnant?”Luna shook her head. “I want to…give birth to it without him knowing.”The doctor nodded, then scribbled something else on her notes, her brows furrowed. “So I take it that you want to do a blood test and test your hormone levels? If you don’t want him to find out, I suggest we do some other checkups just to throw him off the scent.”Luna nodded and smiled at the doctor before her. “Thank you.”The doctor beamed at her. “It’s no big deal.” Then, she glanced at Luna and asked, “Are you friends with Gwen Larson?”Luna froze, then nodded. “Yes, I am.”“You two are an interesting pair. One can’t afford to have an abortion but still insists on it, and the other can but chooses to keep the baby instead. It’d be perfect if you two could switch.” The doctor tore the prescription note out and could not help adding, “She’s a lucky
Seeing that Luna had come out of the room, Lucas immediately stood up and asked, “Are you okay?”“I’m fine,” said Luna impassively as she put on her jacket. “The results are coming out in a while more.”Luna had already discussed with the doctor and knew her blood test results would not be coming out with the rest of the checkups she had done. She glanced at Lucas and asked, “Where’s Joshua?”Lucas gave her a faint smile in response. “Mrs. Lynch called just now, saying that she needed him, so Sir went back to check on her.”Luna paused. This explained everything.Joshua was so worried when he brought her to the hospital and even insisted on listening in while she told the doctor her symptoms. However, when she came out, he was nowhere to be found. The only possible explanation to this was that Alice had summoned him.After finding out that she was pregnant, Luna no longer felt bothered by things like this. She smiled and glanced at Lucas. “Alright then. It’s good that Mr. Lyn
“Things are getting interesting now.” Luke crossed his legs on top of each other and glanced at Joshua. “You asked me to keep your divorce papers safe just for her, and now she’s pregnant with another man’s child. On top of that, she seems to be delighted by this baby. This is interesting.”Joshua shot him a cold glance and said, “My decision to divorce Alice has nothing to do with Luna.”Luke curled his lips into a smirk. “Do you even believe yourself when you say this?”Joshua did not answer.Seeing how Joshua still refused to believe that his divorce had everything to do with Luna, Luke sneered and said, “There’s no point lying to yourself anymore.”All of a sudden, Joshua’s phone rang. “You’re a little talkative today,” he snapped as he glared at Luke before taking out his phone, eyeing the screen.It was Alice.Joshua furrowed his brows and cast Luke a murderous glare, signaling for him to shut up before he picked up the call. “What’s wrong?”Alice’s sugary voice rang ou
