Luna did not expect this question from Christian.
She gripped onto her phone and was silent for a long while. She could not help but clear her throat.
"Christian, what kind of joke is this? You’re Nigel's and Nellie's cousin. Although our age difference isn’t that huge, in terms of seniority..."
Christian, on the other end of the line, chuckled. "If you're not planning to be with Joshua, is seniority in the family that important?
"Rather than saying although our age difference isn't huge but due to seniority...
"I'd rather put it this way: Although seniority is in the way, our age gap isn’t that wide."
Then, Christian cleared his throat and continued seriously, "Luna, aren't you going to consider it?"
Luna paused a little. Her throat tightened. "Christian, stop pulling my leg, I—”
"I'm already being so serious, yet you could still hear that I'm joking?” Before Luna could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by Christian’s mischievous laughter.
He chuckled loudly. "Yeah, I'm just pulling your leg, alright. We do have quite a huge age difference. Also, I don't think I could be a father to Nigel and Nellie-
those two mischievous devils. I'll be so pissed off."
Then, Christian stopped smiling and suppressed the misery in his heart. He looked at the online ticketing system on the screen seriously.
"We'll stick according to our original plan and prepare thoroughly. Bonnie's men will continue sifting through, trying to locate Aura's position, while you stay in Banyan City to hold the fort. Wait for my news."
Seeing how Christian was finally serious once again, Luna let out a sigh and continued instructing Christian a little while more before hanging up the call.
When he hung up the call with Luna, Christian lay on the bed and looked at the ceiling, smiling bitterly. He knew he did not have a chance with Luna. 1
Whether it be age or their relationship, Joshua was still rooted in her heart in the end. 2
This was a barrier that none of them could overcome.
However, if the Violet Lewis case could be overturned and Luna could get hold of something on Fiona, maybe even exposing Fiona's true colors in front of Joshua...
