The moment he got in the car, Joshua kept his gaze forward. His tone was indifferent when he spoke.
Luna paused for a while. She knew that he was talking about her planning to give Michael 200,000 dollars to call off the marriage. 1
She sighed and said, "I just didn't want to cause more trouble."
Michael was a scoundrel. The night before, because she was threatened and forced to agree to get engaged with him, the problems that arose after that would come one after the other.
Just like the so-called flirting that just happened, it would happen again.
It was because Luna foresaw that happening that she was willing to use the money to get Michael to call off the marriage.
At that moment, all she could think of was how to help Neil regain his memories and how to rescue Theo. She did not have any remaining energy left to deal with Michael.
"But, if you have any display of weakness, he’ll only take more advantage of you."
Joshua turned and looked at Luna closely with his deep gaze.
"You don't have to be afraid of him from now on. If anything, I'm here."
Luna was completely taken aback by those two short sentences. Her blood froze. She lifted her head in a daze, meeting Joshua's dark, black eyes.
After a while, she blushed and looked away.
"This is my own matter..."
When she agreed to get engaged to Michael the night before, she did not seek his approval. How could she blatantly ask for his help at this point?
"Luna." Joshua looked at her deeply. "You and I are on the same team right now. If you're distracted because of Michael, am I to help Neil regain his memories alone?"
Luna bit her lip at Joshua's words.
That made sense. He said that he was going to help her solve the problem with Michael because he was afraid that she would be distracted.
Luna thought that...
She took a deep breath and nodded. "Thank you, then.
I might have to rely on you in the future."
Joshua nodded. He closed his eyes and leaned back o n the leather seat. "Lucas, drive."
