Joshua's hand stiffened at the mention of Steven. He was silent for a moment before finally asking, "Gwen... Have you all met Kate's boyfriend yet?"
"No, not yet. Why?"
"Nothing." Joshua rubbed his glabella in frustration. "I couldn’t help noticing that Kate's new boyfriend looks a lot like Luke, so I don't think you should let Gwen see him."
Luna nodded. "You’re right. Don't worry; I'll try my best to protect Gwen."
Even though she had yet to meet Kate's new boyfriend in real life, she had seen photos of him and Kate together on the internet. Therefore, even before Joshua brought it up, she already knew that this man looked eerily similar to Luke.
At this point, Gwen would go insane at any mention of Luke at all, so if Kate's boyfriend were indeed so similar to Luke, she would have to stop Gwen from seeing him in person at any cost.
"We'll talk about this more when we meet," Joshua said before frowning and hanging up.
"What's wrong?" Thomas asked, seeing how troubled Joshua looked.
"We have to split up." Joshua glanced at him before adding, "You go retrieve the new pendant while Lucas will bring some of the men over to the dump station."
"What about you?"
Joshua paused for a moment. "I'll go talk to Kate."
Thomas was a little puzzled by this. "Does this have something to do with Kate?" "I sincerely hope not." Joshua lifted his head to stare coldly in the direction in front of him. "Otherwise, I'll never let her off the hook that easily again."
He was doing this not only for Gwen but also for Luke.
Thomas could sense the hostility in Joshua's demeanor. He pursed his lips slightly, seemingly wanting to say something, but in the end chose to keep his silence.
