The love and affection accumulated over the past few months disappeared in an instant.
From beginning to the end, he was still the same cold and unfeeling Joshua Lynch.
Six years ago, he could tell her calmly before leaving on a business trip that he would accompany her
to the doctor’s once he came home.
And then kill her mercilessly after he returned.
Six years later, he could still parade his love for his wife as he divorced her and even planned her
murder.
Her sleepiness evaporated immediately.
Luna sat in the car, Yuri’s rambling floating into her right ear and immediately exiting through the left.
Joshua’s cold, emotionless face was all she saw.
The four-to-five-hour journey was meant to be long.
But with her mixed bag of emotions, Luna felt the journey was exceptionally short.
At noon, the car left the expressway and drove into the city area of Sea City.
This was where Luna lived as a child.
She had not been back here since she married Joshua.
Returning to her hometown after years away, she should have been excited.
But instead, she did not feel an ounce of exhilaration.
Stepping out of the car once they reached the hotel, she immediately noticed Joshua standing at the
entrance of the hotel.
He stood beside the engraved marble pillar, talking on the phone.
Under the hotel’s luxurious décor, the man’s side profile looked exceptionally handsome and breath –
taking.
Just last night, they had been as intimate as physically-possible, but today, Luna felt as if he was miles
and miles away from her.
Yuri handed her suitcase to her.
Sucking in a deep breath, the woman dragged the suitcase behind her and entered the hotel.
He ended the call right when she walked past him. He reached out and grabbed her wrist.
Luna stiffened.
She raised her eyes and took a glance at him. “Mr. Lynch, anything?“
He frowned and snatched the suitcase out of her hands and handed it to Lucas, who was standing
beside him.
“The Walters called, they prepared a banquet to welcome us.“
Luna shrugged his hand off. “The banquet is meant to welcome you alone, I won’t come in.“
With that, she raised her foot and headed into the hotel.
Joshua frowned and chased up to her again. “What’s wrong with you?“
Everything was fine last night, how come today she looked like she did not even want him to touch her?
Luna rolled her eyes at him, saying coldly, “Mr. Lynch, I came here with you on a business trip. If the
banquet is not business-related, I can reject the invitation, can’t I?“
Her attitude, as if she wanted to draw the line between business and leisure with him, made him snort
uncontrollably.
“And you think I would attend a private banquet with you on my arm? You overestimate yourself.“
The man loosened his grip on her wrist, looking down at her. “The Walter family has expanded into the
jewelry business for the past few years, now they’re at the top of the food chain in this sector in Sea
City. Why else do you think I would bring you to the Walter family banquet?“
Luna paused.
A moment later, she sucked in a deep breath, and was about to open her mouth when a woman’s clear
voice interrupted her.
“Joshua?“
Alice stood at the entrance to the hotel, looking at Joshua, confused. “Why are you in Sea City too? Are
you here to see me?“
