”Don’t trust everyone you meet… ” Luna echoed then smirked. ”That sounds like a piece of good advice.
Unfortunately, there are a lot of good liars out there. Some of them are so skilled that even though the
situation called for the truth, they can still lie through their teeth and claim they didn’t see anything.”
Luna lifted her head and gave Joshua a defiant look. ” Do you agree with me, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua’s expression darkened. He remained silent for a long while before he finally confessed, ”I’m sorry
for what happened just now, but I have my reasons. Alice— ”
”I know what your reasons are. It’s because you can’ t bear to let your oh-so -perfect wife admit she did
something wrong, isn’t it?” Luna interjected, her suppressed rage finally taking over. ”I genuinely can’t
understand you, Joshua.
”Luna Gibson sacrificed so much for you in your marriage, but did you give her anything in return? Every
night, she waited for you to get off work until past midnight. She was unhappy and your family mistreated
her, but she didn’t say a single word about it to you to not upset you. She had a bright
future ahead of her, but because of you, she gave up on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to study
abroad. What did you give her in return? You didn’t even give her so much as a glance. Yet now, six
years later, you act like a perfect husband to Alice. You give her all your love and protection, and you’re
even willing to go against your principles and lie for her.” Luna turned her face to the side to hide her
disappointed expression. ”I really can’t understand you.”
”You’re right. Alice was indeed at fault for what happened today.” Joshua let out a deep sigh. ”Neil and
Nellie refuse to acknowledge her as their mother. The reason why she tried to frame you is that she’s
jealous of you. She’s jealous that the children seem to love you more than her.”
Luna sniffed and snickered at him. ”They’ll never love her. ” Luna knew that her children would never
acknowledge another woman as their mother.
” She’s still their birth mother , ” said Joshua as he sighed again. ” She and I will work together to try to
regain their trust again. What happened today at the art gallery won’t happen a second time.”
Luna turned around and gave him a cold stare. ”How do you know it won’t happen again? What if it
does? Will you lie for her again, just like how you did today?”
Joshua furrowed his brows in annoyance. ”Don’t be unreasonable. I already said this won’t happen a
second time.”
”Well, you better hope it doesn’t.” Luna scoffed and circled him, but he immediately grabbed her arm. ”
Stay away from Theo Allen.”
Luna flung his hand away. ”He’s an artist I’ve admired for a long time, and I’m his favorite jewelry
designer. Whatever happens between the two of us is none of your business! Why don’t you go home
and lecture your wife instead?“
Without a second glance, Luna strode out of the landing and entered the elevator. Just as the elevator
doors closed, she caught a glimpse of Joshua, still standing motionless on the landing. She sniffed, a
little amused at the irony of the whole situation.
The elevator arrived at her floor. When Luna entered the apartment, she saw that Anne was already
asleep. She had left some food for Luna on the dining table.
Luna microwaved the food and sat down for her dinner. As she ate, she opened the gift that Theo had
given her before he left. It was a USB flash drive.
Luna frowned. Immediately, she picked up her bowl and went into her room. She inserted the flash drive
into her computer.
The flash drive contained a video file that looked like footage caught from a surveillance camera. Luna
played the video, and her eyes widened in shock as she watched.
