As soon as he turned around, Joshua caught a glimpse of the bloodstain on the sheets where Alice laid down moments ago.
Joshua let out a sigh of relief and left a note on the bed. With that, he left the bedroom.
Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alice discovered that she was on her period. She was so frustrated that she felt like hitting her head against the wall.
She could not believe the impeccable timing. She had planned to seduce Joshua so that she could officially become his wife, but her sudden menstruation ruined her plans.
Alice cleaned herself up and rummaged around the medicine cabinet until she found her birth control pill. She swallowed the pill in one gulp. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Joshua to sleep with her! 1
Alice came out of the bathroom with a smile, but Joshua was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a bowl of steaming hot soup on the nightstand, along with a pack of tampons.
A maid was busy changing the bedsheets. When she saw Alice emerge from the bathroom, the maid went u p to her and handed her Joshua's note. "Mr. Lynch left this for you.” 1
Alice frowned and opened the note. Joshua's
handwriting read, [I'll be sleeping in the guest bedroom tonight. Take care of yourself. There’s no rush. We still have the rest of our lives to spend together.]
Alice crumpled the paper in anger. The rest of their lives! Joshua always used that as an excuse to reject her.
She had returned to Blue Bay Villa for quite some time, yet she could not even get so much as a kiss from him!
Alice was already busy dealing with Luna and the two children. She finally had the opportunity to seal the deal with Joshua, but he ended up finding out about her period.
After the maid left, Alice closed the bedroom door. She laid down on the bed and took out her phone. "Mr. Walter, I need your help."
"I found a new place. I'm moving tonight." Luna decided to notify Anne of her move during breakfast.
