Joshua burst into laughter at what Luna said. He extended his hand out to rub Luna's head as he spoke, his voice sounding helpless, "Well, anyone can tell she doesn't have true feelings for Adrian. Do you think a woman in her twenties will marry a man in his late fifties?"Luna pursed her lips and corrected him, "It's not entirely impossible. Age isn't a problem with true love.""But isn't it too fast to develop a true love that can overcome age problems in just a month?""That's true…" Luna took the phone from Joshua's hand to open up Jacqueline's information and went through it all. "Do you think…she's related to Fiona?""I don't know." Joshua snatched it back with a smile. "We'll know tomorrow night."'If Jacqueline is using Adrian to get close to me to take revenge for Fiona… Her reaction will prove everything once I show up at the wedding tomorrow. Nonetheless, my plan to destroy Adrian and his reputation during the wedding won't change—no matter what Jacqueline tries to put
Luna, hearing the conversation between Joshua and Celia from across the door, could not help but feel upset for Joshua. As a matter of fact, she was the one who truly understood Joshua the most because she was his wife.Ever since Joshua was a child, he never received any love or care from his parents. Although he always looked proud and cold-hearted, deep down in his heart, he yearned for a loving family.If he was truly disappointed with Adrian and gave up on expecting, he would not be willing to provide enough money to Adrian that was enough to support Adrian's life after a year Michael got locked in jail.He still held a thin slice of hope that Adrian would change. Nevertheless, that hope disappeared after discovering the real reason why Rianna died.At this moment, Joshua was the son who entirely gave up on his father by telling Celia that he was about to ruin Adrian."I know…" Celia's voice pulled Luna back to reality."When you told me you just came back from Saigen City,
Luna scratched her head sheepishly and opened the door to leave the bedroom. "When did you realize I was behind the door?""From the very beginning." Joshua curled up his mouth and beckoned Luna to come to him and sit next to him.Luna paused for a moment before she walked over to him and sat beside him obediently.Joshua remained on the sofa, and with a smile, he pulled Luna into his arms and kissed her forehead. "You're still the same; clumsy as always. You made such a loud noise from getting up from the bed and walking to the door. Celia didn't hear it because she was old, but do you seriously think I didn't hear it?"Luna blushed. She pursed her lips and looked down. "Did I really make…that much of a noise?""Yes," Joshua laughed and cuddled her in his arms while he looked to the front. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"Luna nodded. "I'm just…"By this point, the sun hung brightly in the sky. After they flew from Saigen City, she was too tired and went straight to bed.
After lunch, Joshua sat down on the sofa and called Jude.Jude was so overjoyed to hear that Joshua had returned, he almost wanted to reach into the phone to hug him. "Where are you guys? I'll go pick you up right now! Don't worry—I promise I won't let your father know about this, and I'll try my best to lose the reporters following me too! Don't worry, my friend! Give me your address right now!"Joshua could not help curling his lips into a smile when he heard the excitement in Jude's voice. "This is precisely the reason why I didn't ask you for help and went to John instead."He and Jude had known each other for many years, whereas Joshua had only gotten to know John from Luna and Anne. Therefore, Joshua should have sought out Jude's help instead when deciding to return to Banyan City, but he chose not to, precisely because he did not feel confident letting Jude handle this."Why don't you trust me?" Jude was upset to hear this. "I'm your best friend!""It's not you that I don't
Jude was amused by this. "So what are you trying to say—that your wife is pretty or not? First, you claim she looks beautiful even without makeup, yet now you say that she won't stand out among the crowd if she goes out bare-faced?"Jude chirruped, "Did you hear this, Luna? He's a hypocrite!"Luna chuckled at this. "I don't mind. Perhaps I'm not that pretty in other people's eyes, but as long as he thinks I'm beautiful, that's all that matters."With that, she picked up her coat and turned around. "Well, I'll be off now!"Jude sighed when he heard the door close behind her. "The truth is, I'm kind of envious of you and Luna's relationship, but…"He paused and finally said, "I truly do not dare to get involved with Miss Chance, yet the woman that I love has been chased out of Banyan City by my parents due to her family background. The truth is, you really need to be lucky to find someone whom you love and who is suitable to be with you."Joshua smiled at this. "What did Miss Chanc
Luna let out a gasp in acknowledgment. "Is that the woman who got you drunk and tricked you into sleeping with her?"The color drained from Jude's face when he heard this. "Yes, that's right.""She's quite pretty." Luna glanced first at Vanessa, then turned to gaze at Jude. "You two will make a good couple."Jude rolled his eyes at this. "Well, I'm handsome, so of course I'll look good with anyone."Then, as though to prove his point, he shifted his attention to Anne and added, "Your friend and I will make a good couple too."Anne, who had been listening in silence all this while, never expected the conversation to suddenly shift onto her. She quickly waved her hands in dismissal and said, "You can't just say things like this out of the blue, Mr. Smith. I have a one-year-old with my husband."Jude paused, then glanced meaningfully at Anne. "Well, that's a shame. If you were single, I might consider getting to know you through Luna."Anne smiled at this. "Unfortunately, you misse
Luna's eyebrows furrowed."Do you know them?" Anne, following Luna's gaze, also caught sight of the couple walking through the doors. However, she could not see the woman's face from where she was sitting and could only make out who the man was.She raised her brow at this. "Hey, isn't that James Shore?"Luna froze and turned to glance at Anne. "Do you know him?""I do." Anne pursed her lips. "He's the leader of one of the local gangs here in Banyan City, who've only gained power over the last two years. He even once went to John's company to threaten the employees there. If John hadn't called the cops on him, I'm sure he would've harmed the employees."Luna was stunned by this. "What happened then? Didn't he try to take revenge after John called the cops?"Usually, people like them would seek revenge on the person who ratted them out to the police after being released."He didn't have a chance." Anne pursed her lips. "After getting released, he perhaps intended to seek revenge
"Let me go over to eavesdrop on their conversation." Anne winked at Luna. "If this woman is somehow related to Fiona and is here to take revenge on you and Joshua, she'll definitely recognize you, but as for me…"She continued with a gleeful look. "Even though you and I are best friends, John and I are far too distant from you and Joshua's world, and we rarely show up in public together. Not even Fiona knew much about our friendship, so this woman won't be the wiser. It's better if I eavesdrop instead of you!"With that, she put down her cup and, feigning the need to go to the washroom, deliberately strode past Jacqueline and James' table.She was right; Jacqueline did not remember her at all. When she passed by their table, Jacqueline's gaze did not even falter as she continued her conversation with James.Soon, Luna's phone chimed with Anne's messages, which she was sent from the washroom.[I heard them talking about some kind of debt…but I'm not sure who they're talking about.
