The entire room fell silent.
Luna and Lucas both frowned at the same time.
Lucas glanced first at the hickey on Joshua's neck, then at Luna, his gaze full of puzzlement, as though questioning Luna about what had happened between them.
Luna was a little perplexed by this.
What was wrong with this man?
Joshua had pounced on her like a wild animal when she came downstairs for water last night, claiming that he was crazy for her and kept her up until 4 a m.
Just a few hours had passed since their last encounter, and all of a sudden, with Lucas here with breakfast, Joshua claimed he was single and that no 'Ma'am' existed.
Joshua grew even more frustrated when he saw Luna and Lucas staring at each other, motionless. He stood up, picked up his tray of food with him, and snapped, "I’m going back to my room."
With that, he strode up the stairs.
Luna and Lucas watched him leave, both frowning.
As soon as the door closed behind Joshua, Lucas gulped and shot Luna a helpless glance. "Ma'am, what happened between the two of you..."
Luna was also angered by Joshua's childish behavior.
If Joshua had not tormented her the entire night, she would not be as hungry as she was at that very second.
She did not even get to ask him what was going on with him last night before she was carried away and got subjected to an exhausting night without even uttering a word of protest.
However, now that she had awoken, this man had the audacity to lose his temper to both her and Lucas?
Seeing that Luna was silent, Lucas sighed and said, "The man who killed Heather— the same man that Sir had asked Mr. Luke t o track down—was murdered last night, so maybe he's...in a bad mood because of this.
"Please don't think this is your fault at all."
With that, he pointed at the food he had prepared for Luna on the table and added," Come eat; I've specially bought you some food I know you'll like..."
