As soon as she heard this, Luna clenched her fists next to her.
She closed her eyes, feeling as though an invisible hand was squeezing her heart at this moment.
She had guessed that the reason Joshua had treated Charles like this was not because of his own doing.
She knew him very well, and she understood that this man was not stupid. He would never try to kill Charles in broad daylight.
Luna guessed that Charles must have said something he should not have and did something that crossed the line to anger Joshua, but she never expected...
She never expected that Charles would use the dead baby to taunt Joshua.
Had he forgotten that this baby did not only belong to Joshua but was also hers?
Seeing that Luna was not speaking, Joshua let out a sigh. Then, he took out a cigarette from his pocket, lit i t, and turned to glance at Luna and Gwen's car. "Where are you going?"
Gwen pursed her lips and replied, "We were planning t o go to the church in the eastern part of the city to pray for Luna's mother."
With that, she could not help shooting Joshua another glance and asked, "What about you? Judging from the direction your car is headed, I'm guessing you were coming to our place. Are you looking for Luna?"
Joshua raised his brows but did not reply.
Luna let out an exhale and turned her head away to avoid Joshua's dark, penetrating stare. "Joshua, I've already told you that ever since this child passed away, you and I will not have anything to do with each other anymore. Don't come and find-"
"Well, you say that the child was the last thing holding the two of us together." Joshua interrupted her coldly, exhaling a smoke ring. "There's still three days."
Luna froze and turned to stare at him. "What?"
"There are still three days until our child would've turned a month old." Joshua took another puff from his cigarette, fixating his penetrating gaze on Luna's face in the smoke. "There's a tradition in Banyan City that if the child dies after birth, then we will have to visit their grave and give them a small celebration a month after their passing.
"If other children have this, then naturally, we should d o this for our daughter too."
With that, he tossed the cigarette on the ground and put it out with his foot. "The reason I came to find you today was to ask you if you wanted to pay a visit to her grave together in three days."
