Granny Lynch rolled her eyes.
“Those that didn’t know would think Luna was the one who gave birth to the children.“
Joshua lifted his lips slightly in a wry smile. “ Granny, you can’t just say things like that.“
Six years ago, the only woman in his life was Luna Gibson. Where could he have met Luna?
The old lady pursed her lips. “Was I wrong? You care more about Luna than your own father. Alice on
the other hand, in the past they didn’t seem close, but now she acts like she’s his daughter! “
With that, she could not help it and glared at him. “Go upstairs and take a look at your father! “
Joshua raised his teacup again and drained the cup, then placed the cup down elegantly and headed
upstairs.
When he reached the first floor, Alice was just shutting the door to the guest bedroom behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing him come upstairs, she laughed lightly, “ Adrian is asleep. Don’t worry, I’ve comforted him, he
won’t lose his temper at you anymore.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “I need to talk to you.“
With that he turned and entered the study. Alice followed him in.
“You knew my father and grandmother were here, that’s why you deliberately asked Luna to come over,
am I right?“
After closing the door behind them, Joshua asked her directly.
“You know full well how close my father is to Dennis Walter, close enough that he’111ose his mind
when he sees Luna, and you brought her over at a time like this… I thought our trip to Sea City this
time would make you stop acting out, make you realize there’s no reason for conflict between the two
of you. But unexpectedly, I was wrong.“
Alice gritted her teeth harshly, her fingernails digging deep into the flesh of her palms.
A moment later, she bit her lip, raised her eyes, and looked at Joshua, “Joshua, I don’t know what
you’re talking about. All I was thinking about was that Adrian and Granny miss the children, while Luna
is their foster mother and she hasn’t seen them in quite some time. That’s why I suggested this…“
With that, she reached out and hugged Joshua from behind, a hint of a sob in her voice, “It’s my fault, I
never considered the bad blood between Adrian and Luna. I can go and apologize to them… don’t
think of me as such an evil woman, okay?“
Joshua stiffened immediately. A moment later, his tone softened, “You… you are generally a very
careful and meticulous person, how could you have missed this?“
A flash of a smirk crossed her lips, satisfied that her trickery had successfully fooled Joshua. But still,
she rubbed her against head and pressed her cheek to his back, her tone was slightly unhappy, as if

missed all the evil things that Hailey did, I also would have predicted she would commit suicide
because she didn’t want to leave the country…”
Joshua’s heart skipped a beat at her remorseful tone. A moment later, he sighed and held her gently, “I
misunderstood you.”
No matter how careful and meticulous she was, when faced with her best friend’s suicide, it was only
normal that she lost her rational mind.
“Joshua.” Seizing the opportunity when he was being gentle to her, Alice decided to take things one
step further. “We’re finally home.” The more she spoke, the shyer and more bashful she sounded, “I… I
want to sleep with you tonight. You wouldn’t reject me, would you?”
