The unexpected voice startled Christian.
What was... Why was Joshua the one who answered Fiona's phone?
Christian almost dropped his phone on the ground. He let out an awkward cough and said, "Joshua, I—”
"I told you to repeat what you just said!" Joshua's stern voice interrupted Christian before he could even finish.
Christian suddenly realized that he had said the wrong thing out of anger...
He pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I just came out from Luna's office... She found out about you and Fiona's discussion of having children together, right i n front of Neil's grave. She’s so upset by this that she didn’t even eat lunch. Instead, she's holed up in her office, crying."
Since there was no point hiding the truth anymore, Christian chose to paint an even more intense picture of Luna's sadness. "This is the first time I ever saw Luna cry so hard. She couldn't even catch her breath...
I was so angry that I called Fiona immediately..."
He then sighed. "Joshua, let me ask you... How can you even do this to her? Do you know how upsetting this i s?"
Joshua felt the veins on his forehead throb as soon as he heard this. He furrowed his brows and said, "I know now."
With that, he hung up the phone.
As soon as he put the phone down, Joshua glanced in the direction of the bathroom-where Fiona was taking her shower-and narrowed his eyes.
He and Fiona were the only two people at Neil's grave this morning. Therefore, there was no other person who would spread lies like this to Luna.
Joshua rubbed his brows in frustration and leaned against the sofa, exhausted. He decided to wait for Fiona to come out of the shower.
