Luna was taken aback by Joshua's question.
She bit her lip, not knowing how to answer.
He... It was he who prioritized the family feud over his relationship.
If he did not ignore her, shut her out, or constantly break her heart into pieces, she would not have chosen to return to the Landrys. 1
All that, and Joshua dared to turn and asked her whether the feud was more important than him.
If it was back then, Luna would tell him that he was more important without any hesitation, but...they have already broken up for a very long time.
They were on opposing sides already, and the Landrys would not easily forgive Colin's death.
The Lynchs, on the other hand, would not look past the death of Lucy and Granny Lynch.
It was meaningless to dwell on whether he was more important or the feud.
Luna sighed and said, "It's not important anymore."
Joshua's hand which was fidgeting with the bouquet paused a little.
He smiled mockingly, bitterly so.
"It's not important, you say?"
Sensing his emotions, Luna stopped talking, in case she provoked him further.
She walked over to Granny Lynch's tombstone and placed the bouquet before the tombstone.
"If you're not important, why would I fight so hard to protect our fourth child?"
"If the feud wasn't important, I would've long followed you back."
Luna looked at the black-and-white photo of Granny Lynch and added, "There are things where we can't change, so I have decided to resign to fate."
They were fated to be on two parallel lines. She long knew about this fact.
