Ben kept silent for a moment before he finally murmured, “Well, back in high school, you weren’t as
pretty as Luna Gibson…“
“You’re wrong. In my opinion, Gwen was adorable back in high school.“ Luna crossed her arms at her
chest. “Besides, even if she wasn’t as pretty as Luna Gibson, you didn’t have to lie about it.“
Gwen was enraged by the sudden turn of events. She dragged her husband out of the room, and the
both of them started arguing in the hallway. The door slammed shut with only Luna and Andy inside the
room.
“Mr. Larson,“ Luna smirked. “If you want me to not make a big deal out of this and not leak this incident
to the press, I can do so, but I have one condition.“
Andy paused. “What condition?“
Gwen’s angry voice grew louder by the minute. “ Why didn’t you tell me you used to like Luna Gibson?
Luna even tried to convince me to give up on you. We even got into a fight because of this! It’s only
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnow that I finally realize the truth: she wanted me to give up on you because she didn’t want me to get
my heart broken! You pretended like you were interested in me when, in reality, you tried to get to her! “
All the noise and commotion that happened in the hallway slipped through the crack underneath the
door and into Alice and Joshua’s room. At that moment, they sat across from each other on the couch
as they ate the food Lucas had bought for them.
Hearing the argument coming from outside, Joshua smirked and glanced at Alice. “Don’t you want to
see what’s going on?“
Joshua thought she would want to check on the fighting couple since she was their topic of discussion.
However, Alice’s face was pale. She lowered her head and concentrated on eating. She pursed her lips
and said, “I don’t want to make the whole situation even more complicated.“
In truth, she did not want to check on them because she did not want to have anything to do with
Luna’s friends. She feared she would expose herself. Since she had no idea what had happened in
Luna’s nor Gwen’s past, she did not want to mediate the couple’s fight and risk letting Joshua realize
something was wrong.
Alice continued eating with her head down while she silently prayed for the two people arguing outside
to leave.
So many years have passed since high school. Why were they arguing about those things, and right
outside her door, no less?
Joshua raised his eyebrows at her. “Well, your friend stood up for you last night, so why aren’t you
going to help her? Did you guys have a disagreement?“
Alice pursed her lips. “Not really. I just don’t think it’s appropriate for me to stick my nose in their
personal business…“
“They’ve been fighting for ten minutes now.“ Joshua let out a sigh and put down his cutlery. Then, he
strode over to the door and flung it open.
The scene in the hallway was shocking. Gwen had her husband pressed up against the wall. Her
hands gripped onto his shirt collar as she yelled at him in such a position.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAs soon as Joshua opened the door, the two people in the hallway froze and glanced at him. Alice had
no choice but to come out of the room as well.
When Ben caught sight of Alice, his entire face lit up. It had been so many years since he last saw her,
yet she was as gorgeous as ever!
Seeing Ben’s expression change, Gwen grew even more furious and gave him a forceful kick on his
shin. Then, she gave Alice a sheepish smile. “Sorry, Alice. I didn’t know you and Mr. Lynch were
staying in this room, so…“
Alice’s face was expressionless. “I thought you were making a scene in front of my room on purpose.“
Gwen smiled at her. “How can that be? I’m not that stupid.“ She let out a sigh before she continued, “
We’re here because Luna discovered some hidden cameras in her room, so my father, Ben, and I
came over to apologize and make things right…“
Before she could finish her sentence, Joshua’s brows furrowed. “You’re saying that someone installed
pinhole cameras in Luna’s room?“
Gwen nodded. ”Yes, but I’m not sure— ”
Joshua immediately stormed over and flung open Luna’s room door. ”What happened?”
