Joshua let out a sigh and put down the phone. "Why would I do that?"
"Well, of course it's because..." Luna tucked her phone away and said curtly, "You wanted to force Theo and m e to admit we’re together so that you wouldn't be associated with me anymore.
"Otherwise, if Mrs. Lynch finds out... She won't think you're the devoted husband that spent six years waiting for her faithfully anymore.”
Joshua gazed at Luna and narrowed his eyes, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Do you think I care about all this?"
"Don't you?" Luna lifted her head and met Joshua's gaze directly. "Well then, why don't you tell Alice how many times you've slept with me, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua froze upon hearing this. He continued to stare at Luna but did not say a word in response.
"You don't have the guts to do so, don't you?" Luna sneered, "You're worried that Alice might think you're unfaithful. You're scared that Alice might think that everything was a lie, that you were only pretending to wait for her for six years."
"You don't love Alice as much as you claim. In reality, the only thing you care about is what everyone else thinks of you. If you really cared about her, you
wouldn't have slept with me so many times behind her back. If you really cared about her, you wouldn’t have..."
"Enough!” Joshua lifted Luna's chin so forcefully that Luna felt as though her bones were about to break." Luna, you’ve known me for a long time now, so you should know what to say and what not to. This is the first time."
He narrowed his eyes, and a glimmer of malice flashed through his eyes, sending chills down Luna's spine. His lips curled into a sneer as he stared at
Luna. "There won’t be a next time. You wouldn't want t o find out what I'll do to you if something like this happens again."
With that, Joshua let go of her and turned around to leave.
