She grabbed hold of Luna’s hand and said graciously, " How can you take a taxi back when you're so exhausted? That would be extremely dangerous. We’ll send you home instead. Don't worry; it won’t take us much time."
Then, she turned around and glanced at Joshua, a smile still hanging on her face. "Isn’t that right, Joshua?"
Joshua nodded, then opened the passenger side door gracefully. "Get in."
Luna let out a sigh. As much as she was reluctant to d o so, she had no choice but to get in the passenger's seat while Joshua and Alice got into the backseat.
Lucas started the car.
The car ride from Ocean View Hotel to Starhill Hotel, where Luna was staying, took almost 40 minutes.
These 40 minutes felt like torture to Luna.
"Joshua, are you busy lately? When are you free? I want to take you to have some local delicacies here in Sea City."
"Joshua, we haven't gone traveling in a long time now. Shall we go out this weekend?"
"Joshua, I’ve made you your favorite chicken soup. Let's go back to the hotel to drink it, shall we?"
It had been a few months since she last saw Alice, but somehow, Luna felt as though Alice was an entirely different person now. She was treating Joshua so nicely that it bordered on ludicrous.
Luna frowned and snuck a glance at Alice through the rearview mirror.
It was the same face she recognized, along with the familiar glint in her eyes, but Alice’s personality was entirely different now. How could she possibly have changed so much in two months?
This was extremely baffling.
Finally, the car pulled up in front of Starhill Hotel.
Luna could finally escape from this living hell. She immediately flung the door open and leaped out of the car as if she was running for her life.
"Joshua..." Alice said, grinning, as soon as Luna got out of the car.
