"Theo."
When Theo's hand was on the door handle, Luna frowned and called out to him, "Don't go.”
Theo frowned, turned, and looked at her, confusion etched across his features. "Why not? He did those things with you last night, then he brought me here, and made it look like the both of us were together!
Because he was worried his wife would find out! A man like him, we should expose him in front of his wife, and ruin his image!”
"What good will that do us?" Luna closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. No one else knew Alice's identity, but she did. Back then, Hailey was so deeply in love with Joshua, she was even willing to go through plastic surgery to look like the person she hated the most... She did all of that just to be together with Joshua. That was why, even if Alice knew what happened between Luna and Joshua, nothing would change. She would not leave him, at most she would make Joshua coax her and placate her. It was meaningless.
Theo frowned. "Then we'll just allow this incident to pass, just like this?"
Luna squinted. "For the moment, yes." She could not create too much of a fuss out of this. After all, she had yet to get pregnant with Joshua's child. She had to continue lying in wait.
Theo clenched his hands tightly into fists and slammed them onto the tabletop. "They’re too much!"
A long while later, he retracted his fists, raised his head, and looked at Luna seriously. "Can I... be your boyfriend?"
Luna paused. A moment later, she smiled. "You deserve a better woman than me." With that, she left the bed and entered the bathroom. "Can you go downstairs and buy me some breakfast?" After last night's intense workout, she was fairly hungry.
Theo looked at her from behind and was about to say something, but stopped himself in the end.
"Joshua, eat something."
In the room next door, Alice gently placed Joshua's breakfast in front of him. "I purposely asked the chef t o prepare this for you, your favorite sandwich."
