Abigail had just finished her meal when she received a call from Luna.
"Let's go out for a drink. I want to spend some time alone with you," Luna said.
As Luna was speaking, Abigail saw Josh walking in from outside, looking quite upset.
She agreed and hung up the phone.
"Did you two fight?" Abigail asked Josh.
Lawrence and Scarlett, who were sitting on the couch watching TV, immediately turned their attention to Josh. Scarlett was the first to speak. "Why do you always manage to make her angry?"
"It's my fault." Josh immediately took the blame.
"You don't know how to be in a relationship!" Scarlett complained. "You came back even after a fight. Aren't you going to make it up to her?"
"Let her calm down first," Josh muttered before going upstairs.
Abigail blamed herself. Should I not have mentioned the topic of marriage today? Luna and Josh ended up fighting again because of me.
After he went upstairs, Lawrence whispered, "Let him handle the matter himself. Dating is not an easy thing to do. Many people have dated several times before finding the one that truly belongs to them."
"How many more does he want to date?" Scarlett's voice raised a few notches. "It took so much effort for him to finally pursue a girl. By the time he has another awakening, I feel like I'll be six feet under."
Abigail found Scarlett amusing and chuckled. "I'll be back in two hours."
"Okay, sure." Scarlett's mood immediately stabilized. She got up and walked Abigail to the door. "If you can't find a cab, call us. We'll come pick you up."
"Okay," Abigail replied lightly.
After she left, Scarlett couldn't help but mutter, "She still doesn't seem that close to us."
"Take it slow." Lawrence put his hand on her shoulder, looking like a satisfied old father, "She's already coming home to have dinner with us and is living with us. That's some progress."
Scarlett felt much better after being comforted by him.
…
Abigail arrived at the bar and sat down. She saw Luna still arguing with Josh through text messages and immediately snatched her phone away.
After quickly reading through it, she returned the phone to Luna. "You're fighting over something so trivial?"
"He's not honest enough. How can we get married like this? I can't just tie myself to him for the rest of my life if he's like this!" Luna complained as she drank and confided in Abigail.
Is Luna confused because she is not that close with Josh?
