Theo tried convincing himself nothing happened between them.
But now…
He placed the empty glass on the table, turned and smiled faintly at Luna.
“I have a sudden craving for fried chicken, I think I’ll go join Neil and Nellie.”
With that, he smiled wryly and turned to leave. With the bang, the door was closed once again. Luna
closed her eyes in despair.
Theo must think of her as an easy woman, as a liar.
She mentioned countless times before that she wasn’t interested in Joshua.
But, not being interested in him was one thing. Saving Nigel was an entirely different matter.
But she could not tell the truth to everyone who misunderstood her.
“Feel bad?”
All of a sudden, Joshua’s voice rang out beside her ear, full of contempt.
Luna frowned.
The moment she opened her eyes, Joshua immediately pressed her into her chair, leaning into her, his
gaze predatory, just like his actions. “How
long have you known him, and now it hurts to see him go?“
Fury colored his voice.
Luna frowned and turned her head, refusing to look a t him.
He turned her head towards him.
He held up her jaw. “You feel I can’t satisfy you, or you’re that easy and flirtatious, sleeping with every
man you meet?“
His words infuriated her.
She furrowed her brows and glared at him, “Joshua Lynch! “
“You’re pissed?“
He leaned down, pressing his thin lips beside her ear, his cold voice riding on his warm breath. “ Before I
decide to let you go, don’t you dare dream of letting other men touch you.“
His voice was low and dominating. Luna laughed as she listened to him.
She raised her head, her eyes mocking him. “You can surround yourself with women, enjoying both my
company and your wife’s back home, and I can’t?“
Joshua’s eyes darkened.
A moment later, he sneered, “Are you jealous of Alice?“
Luna rolled her eyes at him. “I’m not.“
“From the way you looked, it’s obvious you were jealous.“
His mood improved, locking her lips in a kiss.
He swallowed her explanatory words down into his stomach.
At last, he heaved her up into his arms, and threw her onto the big bed in the middle of the bedroom.
Looking at the man pressing into her, Luna frowned. “Shower…“
He had not showered yet!
Joshua laughed lightly, lifting her off of the bed again, “Together.“
A few minutes later, Luna lay in the bathroom, struggling vehemently. “Didn’t we agree on taking a
shower?“
He laughed again, “I didn’t say we wouldn’t do anything else.“
She rolled her eyes at him and sighed.
“Don’t torture me tonight, I need to wake up early tomorrow for work. There’s some designs I need to
draw.“
She still remembered her deal with Joshua. “That can wait.“
He frowned. “Join me on a business trip tomorrow.“ “Business trip?“
“Yes, to Sea City. I have some issues to discuss with
the Walter family, business and otherwise.“ Luna’s body stiffened slightly.
The Walter family.
Joshua never used to mention the Walters, neither did he visit them.
Because of Hailey Walter, he did not have a good impression of them at all.
And now, he wanted to go visit them in Sea City of his own volition?
She remembered the press conference earlier in the day.
After he announced to the public he was divorcing Alice, he immediately rushed to the Walters whose
daughter he was engaged to marry.
“Is it… to see Hailey Walter?”
“Yes.’
Luna’s heart fell into the pit of her stomach.
After Aura, Alice appeared, and now after Alice, it was Hailey Walter?
This man did not give himself any free time at all.
