Luna stopped breathing the moment she heard Thomas say those words.
After a while, she took a deep breath." Impossible."
She did not believe that Joshua would not discuss with her letting Riley leave with Thomas.
"If you don’t believe me, you can ask him yourself," said Thomas, his voice sounding as though he was smiling. "I just came out from Joshua’s office.”
Luna could not help but furrow her brow. She stopped her work and leaned back in her chair. "What are you trying to do? Fine, even if you're Riley's father and you use your right as her father to take her away, why are you taking Yannie away?" "Because..." Thomas was silent for a while." Because of yesterday's incident. She's now rumored to be my girlfriend, so we have to play the part."
Then, he paused for a while. "Actually, it's fine if you don't see me. I just wanted to apologize to you in person."
Luna's eyes widened. She was in a daze. Did she mishear him? Was Thomas Howard apologizing to her?
Perhaps he could guess her reaction that Thomas, on the other end of the line, chuckled. "You don't have to be so surprised. I'll admit that I didn't investigate before harboring negative thoughts about you and Joshua. But, after all, Malcolm Quinn was close to you previously, I never would've thought..."
Thomas did not need to finish his sentence, but Luna had guessed what he was going to say.
She bit her lip, not knowing what to say.
Back then...
When she saw Malcolm next to Thomas, she had a bad impression of him. At this moment, with how Thomas admitted that he was lied to by Malcolm, she had a strange feeling in her heart.
