Gwen took a deep breath and pounced right at Luna, hugging her in her arms.
“I should’ve guessed it sooner! I should have! “
Luna could no longer hold back her tears. She raised her hand and patted Gwen’s back. “Can you help
me keep a secret?“ she pleaded softly.
Gwen nodded as tears streamed down her face. “ Mmh! Don’t worry! Ben and I won’t tell anyone! “
Then, Gwen looked at Luna’s flawless face. “W— Why have you changed to a different face?“
Luna smiled. “Because I fell in love with someone I shouldn’t have fallen in love with.“
“Come in and have some tea.“
Ben was rather excited, too. He poured the tea and got the three of them to come over.
That night, Luna and Gwen chatted for a long time. It was at three in the morning when Gwen could no
longer take it that she went upstairs to sleep.
Luna and Theo were arranged in the guest room on the third floor.

Unable to sleep, Luna went to the balcony to look up at the stars. It was a coincidence that Theo was
also there by the balcony.
The two of them were separated by a railing. After greeting each other, Luna could no longer hold back
the question that baffled her the entire night.
“How did you know I was— “
“You said it yourself.“ Theo interrupted her before she finished. “You really can’t hold your liquor. You
got drunk and started calling for Joshua.“
Luna shuddered. She knew that her alcohol tolerance was not great, so for the past few years, even if
she had to drink, she would control her alcohol intake so she would not get drunk.
Other than Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet previously, this was the second time.
The last time, she was lucky that she did not slip up in her drunkenness. This time, her luck was not so
great.
“Don’t simply take any alcohol in the future. “ Theo calmly looked up at the skies. “If it’s hard to say no,
you can call me for help while drinking. They call me the thousand-drink guy.“
Looking at his side profile, Luna chuckled a little as she gazed at his side-profile before she, too, turned
to look at the starry sky. “Thank you.“
If Theo did not appear that night, she did not know what would have happened. What would happen if
she got drunk and her lies were exposed?
What if she got drunk and Joshua got those men to…
“No need to thank me.“ Allen smiled. “I should thank you instead. You helped me find the girl in the
painting.“
Then, he turned over to look at her. “I always thought that you were very mysterious. Today, not only
did I know that you’re mysterious, but you’re also very strong and have been enduring silently.
You’re also a good mother.“
Luna closed her eyes and laughed a little. She said nothing.

The two of them stood there by the balcony in silence and gazed at the stars until dawn. Then, they
returned to their respective rooms and went to bed.
Around ten in the morning, Luna was woken up by knocks on her door.
It was Gwen.
“Luna! “ Gwen sounded extremely anxious outside the door. “Please wake up! Joshua is here! “
Upon hearing Joshua’s name, Luna immediately snapped awake from her dreams.
She immediately got down from the bed and opened the door. “What’s going on?“
“This morning, Joshua seemed to have gone crazy. He hired all of Sea City’s biggest gang to search
for you all over the city! He even offered a high price on you. Whoever could locate you, he’d give them
one million in cash!
“I don’t know who leaked the news that you and Master Allen are in my house. Joshua’s here right
now.“
Gwen bit her lips, and her eyes reddened. “He’s downstairs now. He captured Ben, forcing me to hand
you over to him. He even said that if you’re not going to appear, he’ll beat Ben to death… ”
