Luna emotionlessly looked into Joshua’s eyes coldly and spoke curtly, "You never did make true of this vow, be it in the things that you think of, the problems that needed to be solved, and your suspicion toward anything. You’ll only tell me when you need me to know, and otherwise, you won't tell me."
Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. "You’re going overboard, Luna. It’s just a small problem. Why do you-"
"Am I? ” Luna interrupted coldly. "We're talking about Butler Fred and Mickey now, but what about in the future? If there are more dangers in the future, will you tell me? Do you think I have the right to know? Do you think you'll be honest and tell me?" The more Luna went on, the more worked up she became. "You might think it's just a small matter, but if you're not even willing to share this small matter with me, then what about bigger issues? Will you share it with me and let me know?"
Joshua frowned again as he listened to Luna. After a while, he sighed and grabbed Luna's hand once more. "I'm sorry."
He gazed at Luna’s face fondly with his deep, dark eyes and said sincerely, "I now know what bothers you now. I was wrong."
His apology came as a surprise to Luna. The thing that she was ready to say was suddenly stuck in her throat. She opened her mouth but found herself unable to say anything and was instead stunned.
If she forgave him, she would have no place to vent. On the other hand, if she chose not to forgive him...
Joshua had apologized so sincerely, too.
Just when Luna was in a very awkward moment and did not know what to do, someone opened the door.
It was Lucas, coming in to inform Luna and Joshua, "Sir, Mrs. Lynch, Luke and Gwen are here."
Gwen and Luke were her saviors, Luna sighed internally. She swung away Joshua’s hand again and pretended to be angry as she looked outside. "We’ll talk again when the guests leave.”
Joshua knew that Luna was not angry anymore based on her expression, thus he curled his lips into a smile. "Alright.”
Joshua and Luna made their way to the living room
However, there was something different from before.
Gwen used to look terrible while Luke would seem healthier and more alive, but at this very moment, it was completely the opposite. Luke's face looked very pale, while Gwen's face looked filled with life and vigor.
"He didn't have a good rest last night. It's fine." This was Gwen's answer when Luna asked why Luke looked pale.
Gwen then smilingly added, "How could a person who sleeps like a pig every night be sick?" "You're right," Luke agreed with her sweetly. He then looked at Joshua and continued, "I'm as healthy as a horse. Even if I lose an organ, I'll be lively as usual. There's nothing to worry about."
Joshua squeezed his brows together upon hearing Luke's words.
