Luna followed Lucas into the room.
Joshua was leaning by the head of the bed. He elegantly placed the documents to the side before he raised his eyebrows and looked at Luna. "You've been staring at me outside for twelve minutes."
Luna smiled a little. "Mr. Lynch, you’re so goodlooking that I can't help but be mesmerized.”
Joshua did not accept nor deny her praise.
Joshua gently picked up the steaming cup of hot water by the side with his large hands and took a sip.
"So good looking that you have to peep at me at this hour?”
He then looked at Luna. "Do you want some?" asked Joshua with his wet lips.
Smiling aloofly, she walked toward him and accepted the cup. She downed its contents in one go. "Thank you, Mr. Lynch."
The warm water flowed through her throat, warming her body up, but her heart was still cold.
"I heard that you promised Granny that you’ll leave Blue Bay Villa?" Joshua squinted. His eyes were so deep that it was hard to understand him.
"Have you achieved what you want, staying by my
side?" "No." Luna helped herself to a chair by the side and shifted to a more comfortable position.
"Far from it."
"You’re still planning to leave even so?"
"Yes." Luna chuckled lightly. "I thought you always wanted to get rid of me? I'll truly leave after Granny Lynch's birthday banquet.”
Joshua squinted. She used to put up a fight to stay by Nellie’s side when he wanted to get rid of her back then.
At that moment, after risking his life to rescue her from the fire, she simply made her decision to leave at Granny's words.
He truly did not understand this woman. She was extremely mysterious, yet he could not help but want t o get closer to her. It was hard for him to resist her.
