There was a hospital less than a kilometer away from the cafe.
To prevent Joshua, who was drenched in coffee, from garnering attention, Luna took off her ash-gray trench coat and put it over Joshua.
Joshua initially refused. He thought that it was inappropriate for a man to put on a woman's trench coat.
However, he did not expect that...
Although it looked like a women’s trench coat on Luna, it also looked like a men's trench coat when it was put on Joshua.
Joshua furrowed his brows and walked while holding onto Luna and furrowing his brows.
"Where did you get this from?”
"I got someone to specially make it. It’s for men," Luna replied calmly as she walked.
"Nigel, Neil, and Nellie were fatherless when we were abroad. When they were at the amusement park, they were also unhappy, because other kids would mock them for not having a father.
“Malcolm would pretend to be their dad to cheer them up when he had the time. When he wasn't free, I'd put on this men’s trench coat to pretend as if I was
wearing their father's trench coat and take them out t o play."
Joshua slightly furrowed his brows at Luna's words.
"Was there use in doing that?"
"Of course.” Luna sneered. "When I was abroad, I had many types of men’s outerwear. Time after time, I'd wash them and hang them on the balcony. Others would think that there's a man at home. It'd be safer."
Joshua slightly furrowed his brows once more.
"You lived in an ordinary residential building when you were abroad?"
Luna laughed. "What do you think, Mr. Lynch? Do you think I would have lived in a huge mansion with my three children?"
Joshua furrowed his brows.
"I thought you and Malcolm were close. He would've at least-"
