Joshua's eyebrows frowned when he heard Luna's voice but did not even turn around." It’s too dangerous, Luna. You should stay home with the children and await my news."
Then, he strode out the door.
Luna immediately grabbed hold of his arm, frowning in disapproval. "Anything that has to do with Christopher has to do with the Landry family, and I'm a part of the Landry family, too."
She stared at Joshua with an earnest yet solemn look. "I want to go with you."
Joshua furrowed his brows even more when he saw how tightly Luna gripped his hand. "Luna, do you have any idea what well be facing today? We're talking about a mentally ill man on the verge of going insane, and he has a weapon with him!
"We can't afford to hurt Christopher because of his relations with the Landry family, and the only choice we have is to try to coax him to put down the knife.
"Do you even know how difficult this is going to be? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is and how many people might be hurt as a result?"
As he said this, Joshua gently pried each of Luna's fingers off of him. "Luna, I don't want you to come with me. I don't want to put you in any danger."
Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard this.
However, a split second later, she reached out to grab his arm once more. "I know you're worried about me, Joshua, but that doesn't mean I'm not worried about you.”
She lunged forward and wrapped both her arms around Joshua's arm like a koala. "I won't let you leave the house unless you take me with you!"
"Just bring her along, Joshua." Theo sighed when he saw the determined look in Luna’s eyes and gently patted Joshua's shoulder. "Your three children are already trying their best to buy you some extra time, so let's not make their efforts go to waste.
"You only have twenty-five minutes, so you'd better not waste any more time and just bring Luna along with you. If there's anything you'd like to say to each other, you can do so in the car.
"Besides, it’s only fair for Luna to be worried about your safety, too. Worst comes to worst, you can lock her in the car when you arrive instead of wasting your time arguing with her now."
Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this.
A split second later, he let out a sigh ?c#? TNT; took Luna's hand in his. "Alright, you can come with me."
