Joshua's expression darkened almost immediately. H e stared at Luna with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you think...I don't deserve your trust?"
"Yes." Luna met his gaze fearlessly; coldness and determination were etched into her clear eyes. "I won't trust anyone who refuses to listen to me and instead chooses to send me into a mental asylum."
Joshua felt as though his blood had run cold. Finally, after a long moment, he let out a bitter smile and replied, "Alright. I'll do as you wish."
He tucked the sheets around her before saying, "I’ll get a doctor right now and see if they'll discharge you... Then, we'll go back to Banyan City."
With that, he turned and left.
Luna laid down on her bed, watching him leave, and bit down on her lip. She knew that she should be hating and detesting him, but when she saw the disappointed look in his eyes when she said she did not trust him, as well as the loneliness in his footsteps as he walked away... 1
She could not help feeling a little uncertain of her emotions.
Maybe Joshua was not as bad a person as she thought. Could he have had an explanation for doing all this?
After a moment, Luna closed her eyes and felt like laughing at herself.
Why was she still defending him and trying to put herself in his shoes?
Joshua loved Fiona to the extent that he was willing t o protect and support her in everything. Was all of that fake?
He did not owe Fiona anything at all. Besides, he was the CEO of Lynch Group and owned half of the properties in Banyan City. The name 'Joshua Lynch’ was also on the list of the wealthiest people in the world.
He did not need a reason for wanting Fiona's money o r power.
The only reason Luna could think of to explain Joshua's devotion toward Fiona was that he genuinely loved her.
If he really loved her, why did Luna have to find an excuse to defend his actions?
