Joshua tucked his phone away and fixed his gaze on Luna’s face. “Maybe he’s acting out
because he feels responsible for her death.
“Think about this: You hadn’t been fond of Cheryl when she was still alive either, but after she died, you
couldn’t help feeling sorry for her, even though you’d been blamed for her murder too.
“The same goes for Heather. When Heather died in front of you, you held her hand like you were best
friends, but when she was still alive, you two hadn’t been able to stand each other at
all.”
Luna fell silent upon hearing this.
Joshua…was right.
However, even if Theo had felt sorry for Roanne’s demise, it did not seem reasonable of him to cut off his
friends and break up with his girlfriend because of her, right? Theo was too irrational.
All of a sudden, Luna’s phone rang. She furrowed her brows and glanced at the caller ID. It was Nathan,
Theo’s father.
A bad feeling arose in her heart when she saw this name.
Why was Nathan calling her all of a sudden?
If she remembered correctly, the last time she talked to Nathan was when she was still in Banyan City a
year ago. At that time, she had called Nathan to tell him that Theo was still alive and that he would return
home soon.
Even though she and Theo were close friends, she had never been close to his parents due to their
misunderstanding that happened years before this.
Luna picked up the call nervously. “Luna,” Nathan’s frail, exhausted voice rang out from the other end of
the line. “Do you happen to know a girl named Roanne?” Luna’s heart sank. “Yes, I do. What’s wrong,
Mr. Allen?” Nathan sighed. “Just now, Theo called me to tell us that he was getting married soon to a girl
named Roanne…
“When did he even get a girlfriend, and why didn’t he tell us about this beforehand?
“His mother and I are very worried now, and we’re concerned that she and Theo might not have been
together for long and that he would be cheated if he marries her… “After all, you know how kind-hearted
our Theo is, and he was even willing to die for you in the past… Now that he told us he’s going to marry
this girl, we’re worried that…” Luna’s heart sank even more.
She clutched the phone tightly, wondering whether to tell Nathan that the girl Theo had been planning to
marry…had died an hour ago. Nathan was still talking. “Theo even told us that we didn’t need to be there
at the wedding and that he just wanted to notify us. How can this be, Luna? “This is why I wanted to ask
you if you know this girl and if you’d be able to arrange for us to talk on the phone or maybe meet her?
“It’s not that we can’t accept Theo marrying her. If she’s a good person, we will surely give them a
beautiful wedding…
“L… Luna?”
Nathan hesitated when he heard Luna’s prolonged silence. “Are you listening?” Luna closed her eyes. “I
am, Mr. Allen. Theo hasn’t told us about his plans to marry Roanne yet …so I can’t offer you much detail
about this. “Why don’t I talk to Theo about this and maybe convince him to keep you more in the loop
with all of this? How does this sound?” Nathan fell silent for a moment, then finally replied, “I guess that’s
the only thing we can do at this moment. Thank you, Luna.”
Then, he chatted with Luna for a while before finally hanging up rather reluctantly. “I can’t believe Theo.”
Luna leaned against the leather seat and closed her eyes in exhaustion. “I can’t believe he wants to
marry a dead girl…”
