Will You Marry Me My Ex-Wife

Luna laughed, “With your relationship with Mr. Lynch, do you still need to use such a way for him to

owe you one?“

Jude gracefully placed the teacup down. He flatly glanced at Luna. “What I’m saying is the truth. It’s the

truth.“

Then, Jude yawned and looked at Theo. “You invited me over just so your girlfriend can interrogate

me? “

Theo laughed. Jude called Luna his girlfriend. He was extremely pleased about that.

“Mr. Smith, don’t mind her. Luna is just being curious.“

“There is nothing to be curious about.“

Jude elegantly lifted his gaze and looked at Luna. “I might expand into the jewelry business in the

future. There is nothing wrong in making an acquaintance with you, Ms. Luna.“

Jude placed his business card in front of Luna. “If you have plans of changing companies, contact me.

Although Joshua and I are friends, things like poaching his staff should still be done.“

Then, Jude gracefully adjusted the tie on his neck, turned around, and left.

Luna remained seated on the chair. Looking at Jude’s business card with his contact on it, her gaze

was complicated.

All of the reasons that Jude gave could not convince her. In her eyes, all those reasons were only just

Jude finding excuses to do things on behalf of Joshua.

If it were not for Joshua, Luna did not believe that Jude would help her so wholeheartedly.

Jude’s shoddy reasons were only a way of trying to redeem Joshua’s pride.

After all, Joshua has already said that besides work, he would not meddle in any of her affairs in the

future.

However…

Luna lowered her gaze. Even if Joshua has already said those things, why would he still secretly help

her using such cumbersome methods?

Could it just be because she was the best jewelry designer in his company?

That was not too realistic.

After all, although she was brilliant and great in jewelry design, Joshua has only stepped into the

jewelry industry not long ago.

The Lynch Group was involved in many industries. They did not have to go into jewelry, nor did they

really have to hire her.

However…

If Joshua helped her was not because of work, then what was it for?

Luna thought of a possibility, then, she shook her head.

Forget about it.

How could Joshua like her? Luna, in Joshua’s eyes, was only a crush who was a good match with him

in bed.

He still cared for Alice the most, right?

“Luna?“

Suddenly, Theo’s voice pulled her back to reality.

She lifted her head and noticed Theo looking at her with concerns.

Luna furrowed her brows. “What is it?“

“You…“ Theo looked at her hand. “You put your hand into the teacup.“

Luna was surprised. She immediately took her hand out and wiped it with a tissue.

“Luckily the tea is warm. If it was boiling hot, you would have burned your hand.“

Theo sighed, “What are you thinking about, if you’re in such a daze?“

Luna lowered her head. “Nothing much.“

“My performance went quite well.“

Coming out from Bamboo Palace, Jude directly got in the black Maseratee by the entrance.

“It looked like she accepted my reasons.“

In the back seat, Joshua’s long slender fingers were flipping through the documents on his lap. “You

better hope so.“

“But, Luna and Theo are quite a match. They’re pretty artsy-fartsy. When I entered, I heard them

discussing what the skull meant as an element.”

Joshua, who was flipping through his documents, stopped his actions.

He lifted his gaze and looked at Jude. “So what did the skull element represent?”

Jude did not expect that Joshua would be interested in this topic.

He responded and tried to think back.

“Theo said that the skull as an element represented a dispirited object.“

“Luna said…“ Jude thought for a while before saying, “The skull represented evil and coldness, also

something that should have died long ago yet it still existed. That’s what she said.“

Joshua gripped the documents so tightly his knuckles started to turn white.

That design sketch that he took from Luna’s office was still in his study.

He thought that Luna would design something meaningful for him, modeling his hand after her

sketches.

However, he did not expect that this was the meaning behind it. Evil and cold.

Something that should have long died, yet still existed.

Turns out, this was how Luna viewed him. He even still tried to find ways to help her and Theo in this

matter.

Joshua narrowed his eyes. He closed his documents coldly. “Lucas, go.“

Jude raised his eyebrows. “We’re leaving just like that?“

“If not? “ Joshua coldly swept Jude a gaze. “What? Should we go up and have a cup or two with

them?“

Jude furrowed his brows. Why did he feel that Joshua was suddenly unhappy? He did not say anything

much to him that made him unhappy, right?

After returning home from the Bamboo Palace, Luna had a video call with all three of her children. She

was in a good mood.

Neil and Nellie were in the dorm of their summer camp. They were eating while chatting with her, telling

her about the new friends they made in the summer camp.

Nigel was in the bed in the hospital. He was typing away on the keyboard while listening to them chat.

It was quiet and peaceful.

There was a time difference, after all, Luna was not afraid that she would affect her children’s bedtime,

so she kept smiling and chatting with them.

When it was lo at night, the three of them hung up at the same time so that she could rest properly.

Luna was helpless, she could only hang up and go back to her room.

She flipped around in bed, unable to sleep. She switched on her phone and looked at the news.

It was all about Irene and Yvonne that day. After the press conference ended that morning, Irene

immediately packed up her belongings and returned to her hometown. She said that the big city life did

not suit her.

Yvonne and the management company behind her were involved in multiple crimes. They were

prosecuted.

Over at Sea City, the remaining men of the Walter family were almost all brought down.

Among all the piles of news, there was a small headline.

(Joshua Lynch’s Father-In-Law Joseph Gibson Sentenced to Five Years in Prison for Assault.]

Luna tapped the news and looked at the photo. Joseph in the photo has aged much more and looked

much more haggard, yet Luna had no emotions in her heart.

This middle -aged man was once her father whom she respected the most.

However, at that moment, seeing him being sentenced to jail, she has no whatsoever reaction

anymore.

It was as if he was just a stranger.

In fact, she has already become strangers with the Gibson family. There had been too many

disappointments.

At the end of the article, was an interview with Natasha and Alice.

In the video, Natasha was crying while Alice was much calmer compared to her.

It was only that…

At the end of the video, the reporters asked Alice a juicy question, “Mrs. Lynch. You and your husband

already have two cute children. Have you ever thought of having another one?”

Alice smiled gently. “Yes, we have thought about it, but Joshua has been too busy recently. When he is

less busy, we will consider it.”

Later on, the reporters asked a few more questions regarding Joshua. Alice calmly and gently replied

to them all. Her eyes were filled with tenderness and affection.

Luna’s heart was long numb to this, but it still ached a little.

Irene has gone back to her hometown. Yvonne has gone to prison.

Alice, the main culprit, still could safely express her love in front of the camera.

Luna suddenly understood why Joshua got Jude to help her and Theo.

Perhaps, the person Joshua most wanted to help and protect…

Was Alice.

After the incident with Irene, Luna had no longer seen Joshua.

As the project was coming to an end, she got busier. Luna no longer had the time to think of him.

Finally, the project was completed on time.

Luna’s designs were sold out once they went on the market.

“As expected from Moon the great designer, you’re better than the rest! “

Sitting on the sofa, Anne was eating fruits while listening to the news. She turned to look at Luna who

was packing up.

“How many days of leave did Joshua give you?“

Luna continued packing. “This morning, Lucas sent me a message. Half a month.“

Anne furrowed her brows. “You still haven’t seen Joshua?“

Upon mentioning that, Luna could not help but furrow her brows and sigh, “Yes.“

After Irene’s press conference, Joshua had been deliberately avoiding her.

No matter whether Luna went to his office or in a meeting, she would not see him anywhere.

She has tried to wait for him in his office or downstairs but to no avail.

At that thought, a deep sense of helplessness overwhelmed Luna.

Even if they had been apart for more than six years, Joshua was still the same as back then.

As long as he wanted or if he was willing to do it, even if Luna used all her might, she would not be able

to see him at all.

Luna even asked Lucas how on earth did she offend Joshua. Lucas stuttered and could not give an

answer either.

However, thank goodness that Nigel’s sickness was turning for the better throughout that time.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt

The doctor said that if nothing unexpected were to happen to Nigel, he could live for a few more years,

so the bone marrow transplant could wait longer.

However…

Ast the thought of how challenging it was to see Joshua, Luna’s head hurt uncontrollably.

Initially, she thought that as long as she did a great job and successfully completed this project for him.

Joshua would see her and their relationship would get better, but Luna was wrong.

Even if the project was a success and Luna became the envy of everyone in the company, she still did

not see Joshua, so much so that Joshua even got Lucas to thank her and award her on his behalf.

Luna thought long and hard. She could not recall where she had offended Joshua.

If it was because of Irene’s incident and Luna did not tell him where Hailey was, it was quite impossible

for Joshua to be angry about this for that long, right?

“Do Neil and Nellie know that you are going to see them in summer camp?“

Anne’s questions pulled Luna back to reality. Luna shook her head. “I plan to give them a surprise.“

Anne was munching on an apple. “John said that you’re a famous designer in demand right now. To

celebrate the completion of your project, he and I want to celebrate with you tonight and have a meal

together.“

Luna placed the last of her clothes into her luggage and swiftly zipped it up. “You two go ahead. I have

already asked Theo out.“

Anne paused for a while. “You and Theo… don’t tell me that you have really gotten together? I see he

cares for you too. What are you thinking about?“

Luna raised her eyebrows. “Before I find a cure for Nigel, I won’t think about all these.“

Furthermore, if she were to consider a partner, the first person she should consider should be Malcolm

Quinn.

“I’m going out tonight to discuss our breakup.“

Back then, Luna was forced to admit her relationship with Theo because of a misunderstanding.

At that moment, it had been three months since that misunderstanding.

It was about time to announce a breakup.

Anne pursed her lips. “How heartless.”

Luna and Theo agreed to meet at Bamboo Palace.

When Luna reached, Theo was waiting for her at the entrance. He was in a white suit that day, looking

handsome, artistic, and elegant.

Theo was standing by the entrance with a huge bouquet of flaming-red roses. He had a joyful smile on

his face.

Looking at Theo from a distance, he looked like a teenager in love.

Across the road, once Luna got down from the taxi, she immediately saw Theo hugging the bouquet of

roses and smiling from ear to ear.

The vein on Luna’s forehead popped.

The reason she asked Theo out that night was to end things properly. In her pocket, there was a pair of

rings that she made herself to wish Theo and his future partner all the happiness.

However, at that moment, looking at the bouquet of roses in Theo’s arms, she had mixed feelings.

“Watch out! “

Just when Luna was looking at Theo, wondering how to continue the date that night, a male’s voice

suddenly rang out from behind her.

Luna furrowed her brows and instinctively turned back to look.

In front of her eyes was a silvery flash of the blade of a knife. Just when the knife was less than lo

centimeters away from her head, Luna’s heart instinctively beat aggressively. She subconsciously took

a step back.

Thud!

The man who was waving the knife at her knelt to the ground and the knife fell onto the ground with a

clunk.

Luna was stunned. She came to her senses only after a long while.

When she comes to her senses, the man that was about to stab her a moment ago has been

apprehended by two burly men in black.

“Take him back to Sea City.“

A man next to them lit a cigarette and coldly instructed them.

Luna furrowed her brows. “Luke Jones?“

Luke smiled thuggishly. “Tsk, how rare of you, a great designer, to still remember me.“

He let out a puff of smoke.

“How much does the Walter family hate you? This man escaped to Banyan City. I initially thought he

came to seek refuge with Joshua. Turns out, he came here to kill you.“

Luke lowered his head and kicked away the fruit knife on the ground.

“If it were not for Joshua’s wisdom and alertness that predicted that he would come for you, your life

might have ended here tonight.“

Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously looked behind Luke.

As expected, not far in the distance from Luke, she saw Joshua.

He still wore the same black handmade tailored suit that he had worn for years. He was so regal and

cold

that it kept one at a distance.

Compared to the last time she saw him, Joshua has gotten thinner and a little bit more distant and cold.

He was leaning against a red-bricked wall of one of the shops, with his head lowered, scrolling on his

phone. It was as if Luke and Luna had nothing to do with him.

Luna gritted her teeth.

All this while, she had resorted to all ways to try to see him and get closer to him.

However, she failed every single time.

Luna did not expect to see him here at such a moment. She was just ambushed and almost died, but

the person that yelled at her to watch out was Luke.

The people that kicked the thug over were Luke’s men.

Joshua, on the other hand, the man that Luna thought she knew best, did nothing at all when she

encountered such a dangerous situation. He even pretended that nothing had happened and continued

playing on his phone.

A sense of bitterness appeared in Luna’s heart.

Even though she and he did not have much of a relationship, just based on the fact that she just helped

Joshua bloom in the jewelry business, this should not be the attitude of Joshua at that moment.

“Are you still going to chat?“

Joshua, who had his head lowered all this while, kept his phone. He flatly swept a glance at Luke.

“Things are done. Let’s go.”

Then, Joshua turned and was about to leave.

Luke furrowed his brows. Even he could see that there was something wrong between Joshua and

Luna.

When they were on the way there, Joshua was still worried that Luna might get injured. He chose to

drive himself and raced all the way there, yet, once he reached, he pretended as if it had nothing to do

with him?

“Joshua Lynch! “

Luna furrowed her brows and rushed forward. She opened her arms wide and blocked his path.

“How long are you going to avoid me for?”

Joshua raised his eyebrows and flatly swept a glance across Luna’s face.

He has not seen her for a long time.

Ever since he knew the meaning of her design, he has been trying to avoid her at all costs.

Since she said that he was evil and aloof, a person that should have long died, why should he appear

in front of her and make each other unhappy?

Only that, Joshua did not expect that Luna would openly block his path in the streets.

Joshua lit a cigarette. He stood there elegantly mixed with a hint of thuggishness.

“I’m avoiding you?“ “Are you not?“

Luna raised her head and met his gaze fearlessly. “I have been trying to look for you all this while but

fail every single time. If I attend a company meeting, you will refuse to join in. If you’re not avoiding me,

then what are you doing?“

Joshua inhaled a huge puff of the cigarette and turned to look opposite the road.

Outside Bamboo Palace, Theo, in white, was still hugging a bouquet of roses. He lowered his head and

looked at his watch and looked around anxiously at the same time.

Joshua smiled and exhaled smoke at Luna. “Ms. Luna, you leave your boyfriend waiting for you, yet

here you are questioning me if I’m avoiding you or not. It’s not good, right?“

Luna bit her lips. Of course, she knew that being late was not a good thing. Obviously, she was already

late! However, to her, the chances of being able to bump into Joshua were much rarer.

Luna bit her lips. “Joshua, answer me. How long are you planning to avoid me? All this while, I have

thought long and hard. I have never done anything that made you angry or dissatisfied. Also, now I’ve

already helped your jewelry company have a great start. I want to know the reason you’re avoiding

me.“

Joshua sneered, “You don’t need to know.“ Then, Joshua lifted his legs and was about to go around

Luna.

Luna furrowed her brows. She unrelentingly opened her arms wide, continuing blocking in his path.

“Joshua, how the hell have I offended you?“ Joshua was rather annoyed. He sneered. “Ms. Luna, don’t

you know it clearly?“

Joshua took another puff of the cigarette. He was wrapped in a mist of smoke. He swept Luna a flat

gaze.

“Evil, cold, something that should have long died but still existed. Isn’t this how I am in your opinion?“

Then, Joshua raised his hands and flung Luna’s hand away with force. He turned and left frigidly.

Luna remained in the same spot, stunned.

Cold, evil, and something that should have long died

Her brain stopped working for two seconds before Luna finally understood.

Previously, Joshua took away her design with a skull that she once drew for Nellie as a game.

Also, after Irene’s incident came to an end, she and Theo met with Joshua’s best friend, Jude.

When Jude entered, Theo and she were still discussing what the skull symbolizes.

Those words from Joshua seemed to be the explanation she gave Theo previously, about what the

skull meant to her.

At that thought, Luna’s body could not help but stiffen.

Thus…

Did Joshua think that she thought of him as someone evil, cold, and should be long dead?

Although back then when she drew this, this was her thought.

However, at that moment, she needed Joshua. She needed to get close to him.

“Tsk, tsk. Looks like you guys are in a fight.“ Suddenly, Luke’s thuggish voice rang out in her ears. Luna

lifted her head.

In front of her, Luke inhaled the last puff of the cigarette. He threw the cigarette butt into the bin. “ You

two are pretty interesting. The first time I met Joshua was because he wanted to rescue you.

“That day at the abandoned factory, seeing him carrying you away, I thought you two were a pair. Who

would have thought that you two weren’t?

What are you two playing at now? A lover’s quarrel?” Luna lowered her gaze. “You won’t understand.”

“I don’t understand you women, ” Luke sneered, “ you and your best friend. Both of you are equally

difficult to deal with.”

Upon hearing Luke mentioning Gwen, Luna lowered her head and straightened her coat.

She asked casually, “Is she still alright?”

All this while, Luna had been busy working and trying to find a chance to meet Joshua. She has not

contacted Gwen for a very long time.

“She’s not too well.“ Luke shrugged. “She’s pregnant.“

Luna suddenly looked up. “Pregnant?“

“Yes.“

Luke furrowed her brows and fished out another cigarette from his pocket in annoyance.

“Actually, this time I came to Banyan City to look for you. I want you to persuade her.“

Luke lit the cigarette and took a deep puff. “She had the child for a few months already.

According to the time, the child should belong to the monsters that raped her back then.“

Luna’s blood froze instantly upon Luke’s words. How could this have happened?

Luna’s voice was hoarse. “Did she… not take any medication after the incident?“

Luke laughed, “Do you think she would have gotten pregnant if she had taken the medication?“

Luna was rendered speechless.

Luke lowered his head. He sounded a little depressed. “She was heavily injured back then, her

situation was complicated. After the incident, you guys were

anxious to leave. I only had a bunch of men who knew about nothing with me. We never would have

expected such a thing to happen. A few days ago, she kept puking non -stop. We initially thought that it

was a digestive system problem, who knew that she was actually pregnant.“

Luna’s body fumbled.

She thought of the situation back then.

Gwen was targeted by the Walter family back then because of her.

However, at that time, the situation was in too much chaos, even Luna, as a woman, forgot about the

contraceptive pill, let alone the bunch of rough men in Jones Gang.

Luna bit her lips. Her voice was hoarse. “So how is she right now?“

“The doctor said that her body is not in a good condition, we cannot just simply abort the baby. If not,

she might be infertile in the future and it would be a danger to her life. I also felt that she should

keep the child for her own sake, but she’s reluctant to do it. She said that she felt disgusted at the

thought of the child. She tried to kill herself a few days ago, but I stopped her. She is currently in the

hospital under twenty-four-hour surveillance by my men. I got two psychologists to accompany her, but

it’s not working very well.“

The more Luke explained, the more annoyed he got.

“I’ve also already told her. Once she gave birth to the child, give me the child. I’m looking to adopt

anyway, but she is unwilling. The only reason why I

didn’t leave with Joshua is that I wanted to ask you if you were willing to follow me to Sea City to

persuade her. This woman treats her emotional well-being much more important than her life.“

Luna’s face instantly turned pale.

Luke was a man. He would not have understood that if Gwen gave birth to the child…

That meant that it constantly reminded Gwen that she had once been sexually assaulted.

This was not only Gwen. Any other woman would not have been able to accept it as well.

However, if she were to abort the child…

Luna pursed her lips and considered for a long time. In the end, she took a deep breath. “I’ll come with

you.“

Although she has already made the decision to visit Neil and Nellie in summer camp, she could visit

them at a later time.

Gwen needed her more urgently at the moment.

“Luna! “

Suddenly, Luna heard Theo’s voice coming from the distance. She furrowed her brows and lifted her

head.

Theo, at that moment, had already crossed the road with a bouquet of roses in his arms, approaching

them.

Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Luke. “When are you going back to Sea City?“

“Tomorrow.“

“Okay.” Luna took a deep breath. She passed a piece of paper with her contact on it to Luke.

“Contact me tomorrow.”

“Why are you so anxious to leave?” Luke smiled and swept Theo a glance. “Your boyfriend?”

Luna pursed her lips. “You consider it so.”

“How messy.” Luke mockingly smiled and directly reached his arm out and placed it on Luna’s

shoulder. Then, he thuggishly looked at Theo, who was coming their way.

“Bro, she said that she’s going away with me tomorrow.”

Theo furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. “Who is he?“

Luna helplessly took Luke’s arm off her shoulders. “

A friend.“

“How do you have friends like that?“ Theo swept Luke a cold glance. Then, he stuffed the huge

bouquet of roses in Luna’s arms. “Let’s go. I have been waiting for you for a long time.“

“Remember to contact me tomorrow.“

Then, Luna turned around and left together with Theo.

Once they crossed the road, Theo subconsciously turned around to look.

Luke, across the road, was still standing by the bin smoking. He seemed to be troubled by something.

Theo did not like men like Luke, who constantly had a cigarette with them and looked like a thug. “How

come I never knew that you had friends like that?“

Luna turned and swept a glance in Luke’s direction. “ What about it?“

She knew that Theo had grown up in his grandfather’s house in a family of scholars. He was

also accomplished in art. Surely, he could not accept a person like Luke, who came from a poor

background and looked like a thug.

Theo narrowed his eyes. “Don’t mix with people like that in the future.“

He hated people like that.

Luna rolled her eyes and laughed, “But, he is a friend of my friend. I’m planning to follow him to Sea

City to visit my friend tomorrow.“

Theo stopped in his tracks. “You’re really going to go away with him tomorrow?“

Theo thought that Luke was deliberately trying to trick him a moment ago.

Luna, who was next to him, nodded. She strode into Bamboo Palace.

“My friend is sick, I plan to go and visit her.“

“But…“ Theo caught up after her. He slowly fished out two tickets from his pocket.

“I have already bought tomorrow’s flight ticket…“

Luna was led by a waiter into a private box. She placed the bouquet of roses by the side. Then, she

looked at Theo in surprise.

“Flight ticket?“

“Hmm.“ Theo nodded. He placed the flight tickets in front of Luna. “To Saigen City. A six days seven

nights for the two of us.“

Looking at Luna’s shocked face, Theo lowered his head. He sounded a little depressed. “Don’t you

have

a half month’s leave? Saigen City is close to Neil and Nellie’s summer camp. After our trip, we only

need half a day to reach the summer camp. We can still have fun with Neil and Nellie for a few more

days.“

Luna was so stunned she was rendered speechless.

When Theo asked her previously if she had any rest after the project, Luna casually replied to him that

she had half a month off.

However, she did not expect that… Theo would secretly plan and arrange her time for her so

thoroughly.

Luna was silent for a long time before she raised her head and looked at him.

“Theo. Have you forgotten that… we’re only pretending to be lovers?“

Between them, there should not be a bouquet of roses, there should not even be a six days seven

nights trip for the two of them.

Theo lowered his head and smiled shyly. “I know, you and I are just pretending, but…“

He raised his head and looked at Luna. “I hope that we will become a real couple. I’m serious, Luna.

Give me a chance. When you finish settling Nigel’s matter, let’s get married, shall we? I will be like their

biological father. I ’11 take good care of the three of them. I…“

“Theo.“

Luna closed her eyes and interrupted him in a low voice.

“You deserve much better.”

She took a deep breath and opened her eyes. “You’re a great guy. I, on the other hand, not only do I

have three kids, but I also had a terrible previous marriage.”

Theo furrowed his brows.

“But you have already changed your looks. You’re no longer the Luna Gibson from before. No one

knows about your marriage in the past. I also don’t care about it!”

“But I do.”

Luna took a deep breath. She downed the tea on the table in one go.

“You’re a gentle and kind-hearted man. You deserve a much better woman and deserve to find better

happiness. Not with a woman who had just climbed out from the depths of hell.“

Then, she placed the empty teacup on the table and looked at Theo meaningfully. “The reason why I

asked you out tonight…

“Is to thank you for helping me. Now that the storm has passed, no one is caring about your private life

anymore. No one cares about me anymore either. We it’s time to announce to the public about our

breakup.“

Theo lowered his head. “I thought that you asked me out…“

He did not finish his sentence.

“But, I can understand.“ Theo took a deep breath, raised his head, and looked at Luna. “You have been

hurt so badly. It’s normal that you won’t accept another man. Don’t worry, I will stay by your side and

Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm

wait for you to slowly regain trust in love.“

Then, he shredded the tickets stylishly and threw them into the bin.

“You have your things to attend to. Go and do them tomorrow. I’ll come with you.“

Luna rubbed the middle of her brows.

“Theo, don’t be stubborn. It won’t come to fruition.“

“Whether to continue or not is my decision to make, not yours.“ Theo smiled at her and directly picked

up the menu. “Let’s order.“

Luna furrowed her brows. Throughout that night, she tried to find a chance to get Theo to give up on

her, but Theo would not budge. He would even openly change the topic.

Luna was helpless. In the end, she could only let him be,

After all, she has already said what she needed to say repeatedly.

The next day at four in the morning, when Luna was still asleep, she received Luke’s call.

“Come down.“

Luna groggily opened her eyes. “So early?“

“Hmm.“ Luke’s voice was low and cold. “Gwen sliced her wrist.“

Luna instantly jumped up from the bed.

“How is she?“

“We found out in time, nothing serious.“ Luke’s voice, on the other end of the line, sounded low and

depressed. “But, she’s not in a stable mental state.

I’m worried for her. It’s better if we get back earlier.“

“I ‘ll come down now.“ Luna took a deep breath and immediately picked up the luggage that she had

packed to see Neil and Nellie the day before and directly headed out.

The morning air was rather cold. Luna shuddered while putting her luggage in the trunk. Then, she

quickly opened the car door and got in the back seat.

Once she entered, she noticed that besides her, there was another man in the back seat of Luke’s car.

Joshua, who was in black, was leaning back on the leather back seat. He closed his eyes resting.

Luna was stunned. Why was he there?

“Mr. Lynch needed to do something in Sea City with me, so he tagged along.“

Luke sat in the passenger seat in front. He calmly looked at Luna from the rearview mirror.

“If you don’t want to sit with him, you can sit in the car of one of my men.“

Luna smiled and looked at Joshua closely. “No, I can stay here.“

To be able to be in close contact with Joshua was exactly what she always wanted.

The driver started the car and drove.

Luke sat in the passenger seat in front. He furrowed his brows and looked at his phone. Luna did not

know what he was looking at.

After a long while, he kept his phone and glanced at Luna in the rearview mirror, looking at her dark

circles under her eyes. “If you’re sleepy, sleep for a while. Gwen heard from the doctors that you’re

going to visit her today, she’s stable for the time being.“

Then, Luke laughed self-deprecatingly, “Women sure are weird. No matter how my men and I tried to

persuade her, she would not listen at all. Once she heard that you’re going to visit her, she immediately

obeyed.“

Luna smiled. “Because none of you are women, you won’t understand how a woman feels.“

Luke shrugged. “That’s true. After all, both of you have been best friends for more than ten years.“

“More than ten years?“

Upon Luke’s words, Joshua, who was in the back seat, furrowed his brows and opened his eyes.

The car was in silence at that instance.

Luna froze.

She never thought that Gwen would tell Luke that they were best friends for more than ten years.

Her identity at that moment was no longer Gwen’s best friend back then.

Joshua turned his head around and looked at Luna coldly. “You already knew Gwen for more than ten

years?“

Luna lowered her head. She clasped her hands together. “Yes.“

If she were to deny at this moment, according to Joshua’s character, he might interrogate Gwen.

Rather than throwing this difficult for Gwen to handle, Luna would rather answer Joshua herself.

Luna lifted her head and looked out of the window. “ Gwen and I were online friends more than ten

years ago.“

Luke, sitting by the passenger seat in front, raised his eyebrows. “Online friends?“

“Yes.“

Luna took a deep breath and raised her head. “We used to play an online game called Lost. We knew

each other from there and became best friends later on.“

Luna guessed that Gwen must have casually mentioned to Luke that they were best friends for more

than ten years. She would not tell him the truth of how they knew each other. After all, that involved her

true identity.

Therefore, Luna casually mentioned an online game that she had once played with Gwen when they

were still in school to become the reason that they met.

Luke was rather surprised. “The two of you don’t look like people who would play online games.“

Luna smiled. “There are so many more things you don’t know about us.“

She yawned and turned to look out of the window. “ Gwen and I became good friends in the game back

then. It was only that I knew how she looked but she did not know about me.

“The last time when I was in Sea City, she did not like me at first. Later on, when she knew of my

identity, we became friends again.“

Using this relationship of online gaming friends, Luna directly went with the flow and explained her

conflict with Gwen previously.

Joshua was playing with the ring on his finger. His gaze was deep.

“I see.“

Luna pursed her lips. She did not know whether Joshua bought it or not.

Anyway, after visiting Gwen this time, she had to explain this matter to Gwen clearly.

“Actually, I also have played Lost before.“

After a long while, Joshua raised his head and gazed at Luna coldly. “Which section do you play at?“

Luna was stunned for a long while before coming to her senses. “I was at… Section One.“

“What a coincidence. I also play Section One.“

Joshua smiled and swept Luna a cold glance. “Such a coincidence.”

Luna felt extremely sheepish.

She had indeed played Lost with Gwen for some time, but the people in the game who knew them

knew that they were a pair of real-life best friends.

If Joshua were to investigate this, her identity might be exposed…

Luna secretly clenched her fists tightly.

It looked like using games as a cover was not a good choice.

However, who would have expected that a man like Joshua had also played such a game before too?

At that thought, Luna smiled. She raised her hand and yawned. “Luke, how long till we reach Sea

City?“

Luke looked at the time. “About four hours.“

Then, he swept Luna a concerned glance. “If you’re really tired, sleep for a while. We’ll reach by noon.“

Luna nodded. She turned and looked at Joshua rather apologetically. “If you have played Lost before,

perhaps we might have even known each other online many years before. Let’s catch up once I wake

up.“

Then, Luna yawned and directly leaned back on the leather seat. She closed her eyes and pretended

to sleep.

Actually, Luna could not even fall asleep.

She squinted her eyes and looked at Joshua through the crack of her eyes.

Joshua looked at her with a darkened gaze.

His eyes had so many emotions that she did not understand.

Luna did not dare to react in case Joshua saw through her. She remained that way peeping at him until

the car reached the freeway.

She indeed did not have a good night’s sleep the night before.

On one hand, she was worried about Gwen, on the other, she was concerned about Theo.

Luna finally could not help but close her eyes. The moving of the car put her to sleep.

While being groggy, she seemed to have heard Luke teased. “You have been looking all the way. Is it

really that nice to look at?“

Joshua, next to her, seemed to have replied to Luke something, but Luna did not catch it.

Her consciousness started to blur.

When she woke up, the car had reached Sea City.

“You’re up?“

Luke’s aloof voice came from in front.

Luna furrowed her brows and slowly opened her eyes. The car was very quiet.

The driver has gotten out of the car, smoking. Luke still remained seated in the passenger seat in front,

scrolling through his phone while looking at her.

Luna furrowed her brows and subconsciously turned sideways to look.

“He’s gone.“

Before she could have a good look at Joshua’s seat, Luke said flatly, “Didn’t he previously acquire the

Larson family’s estate and eat away at the Walter family’s business bit by bit? Once he reached Sea

City, he was taken away to the office for a report presentation.“

Luke lifted his hand and touched his cheek. “What on earth is going on between you two?“

Joshua refused to be in the same car as Luna. Joshua only got in the car after a good deal of

persuasion from Luke.

Still, Joshua watched Luna sleep throughout the entire journey.

Luna, on the surface, was icy and distant toward Joshua, but the first thing she did when she woke up

was to look for him

No matter how he saw them, they looked like a pair of lovers who had a falling out.

“Nothing is going on.“

Luna lowered her eyes and looked at the time. It was almost noon.

“When can we see Gwen?“

Luke pressed a button and winded the car window down. “Anytime.“

When all of the windows were down, only then did Luna notice that the car was parked at the entrance

of the hospital.

She furrowed her brows. “So… you were waiting for me to wake up?“

Luke smiled. “When Joshua left, he saw how sleepy you were. You probably did not have a good

night’s sleep. He got me to let you sleep a little longer if I wanted you to help me look after Gwen. Since

he had already given instructions, how would I dare wake you up?“

Luna had complicated feelings.

She took a deep breath and was about to get out of the car when her phone rang.

It was from Theo. ”Luna, did you go to Sea City with Joshua?”
