As soon as Luna turned around, Joshua felt the blood rush throughout his entire body.
A strange feeling arose within him.
He knew what this feeling was.
Nonetheless, it was broad daylight, and he was in her office, no less.
Besides, their relationship was at its breaking point already, and after believing Fiona’s lies, Luna was probably upset at him. Joshua knew he should not be lusting after her at this moment, but he could not control himself.
He could not stop himself from walking toward her. H e suppressed the fluttery feeling in his heart and hoarsely spoke, "Luna, the reason I came here is to tell you..."
Joshua let out an exhale and continued in a low voice, "I don't intend on having children with Fiona at all."
Luna's entire body stiffened at that moment, but a chuckle escaped her afterward. "Is that so?"
She did not believe a single word that came out of this man's mouth.
She stood up and circled past him toward the door, flinging the door open. "If you don't have anything else to say, Mr. Lynch, please leave."
Joshua could not help but narrow his eyes at her hostile attitude.
He noticed that Luna's eyes were slightly red-rimmed. It was clear that she had been crying or, at least, had felt like it. Despite that, she was adamant that he leave
Joshua let out an exhale. "Luna, I came here to explain everything to you. I—"
"What is there to explain?" Luna felt amused by his contradicting statements. "Are you saying that you didn't talk about having children with Fiona right in front of Neil's grave? Or are you saying that Ms. Blake, the woman you love, is a liar?"
Joshua replied in a low, hoarse voice, "What if I told you the latter is true?"
Luna gave him a bitter smile. Then, she fixed her gaze on Joshua's face and said, enunciating her words carefully, "Mr. Lynch, since Ms. Blake is a liar, why don't you tell me exactly what you see in her?"
Joshua fell into silence. He did not know how to answer her question.
Seeing this, Luna sniffed and continued in a slightly choked voice, "If you care about and respect Neil that much, you shouldn't have found a new girlfriend so soon after his death, much less take her to visit his grave!"
