Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard what Joshua had said.
She gaped at Joshua, her face pale, but could not say a single word in response.
"Are you surprised that I know about your pregnancy?" Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and poured himself a drink. "You've always been smart, but somehow, today, you're a lot more dull-witted than usual. Is this what they call a pregnancy brain?"
Joshua smiled and continued, "You were so desperate for me to leave while we were at the hospital. If you were me, wouldn't you want to find out what's wrong?"
Luna’s face turned pale, then blushed scarlet, then turned pale again.
She had to admit that she was, in fact, hastier than usual today. However, since she had finally gotten the outcome she was seeking, she was afraid that Joshua would find out about the baby.
Besides, everything had happened so suddenly this afternoon that she had no other way of stopping Joshua from finding out.
Perhaps, she could not hide anything from him at all.
Luna closed her eyes and slumped onto an empty chair. "I never thought Mr. Lynch would care so much
about me, but this child-"
"Were you talking to Theo just now?” Joshua interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
Luna paused, then nodded somewhat shamefully. " Yes."
When she was on the phone with Theo, she had told him the delightful news and even explained her plan o f asking Theo to bring Neil and Nellie out of summer camp...
Luna immediately gazed at Joshua and asked timidly, "Did...you hear everything?"
"No."
Joshua stood so far away that he did not even notice that the woman on the beach was Luna. Therefore, he had not tried to eavesdrop on her conversation at all.
