"This is moral coercion!"
Anne angrily looked at Celeste. "It's true that your son likes Luna, but Luna has made it clear to him that she wouldn't marry him. She wouldn't be together with him either. They could only be friends.
"Theo likes Luna and even sacrificed his life for
Luna's children in the end, and while everyone feels sad about this, you can't use this as a condition to get Luna to marry a dead person, living the life of a widower her entire life, right?"
Celeste sneered as she ignored Anne's words. Celeste lowered her head and looked at Luna mockingly. "I’m asking you, Luna: are you willing to do it or not?"
Luna, who was kneeling on the ground, closed her eyes depressingly.
"I'm sorry."
Celeste’s eyes were instantly filled with anger at Luna's response.
"Our Theo sacrificed his life for you! I'm only asking you to marry him, to not have any other men for the rest of your life! Would it kill you to not have any men?"
Celeste angrily turned to look at Joshua. "You still can’t let go of your Mr. Lynch, right?"
The more she talked, the angrier she got. "As expected. You still wish to be with Joshua! When Theo was still alive, he said that you told him you’d never b e with Joshua. Look what happened!"
Luna paused for a while.
She lifted her head and looked at Celeste seriously.
"Mrs. Allen. If what you're worried about is whether I'd marry Joshua or not, I can assure you that I won't marry him."
The entire corridor was in pin-drop silence upon Luna’s words.
