Chapter 1010

But Stella couldn't help noticing that Joshua seemed to know quite a lot about these things.

Curiosity getting the better of her, Stella asked, "Joshua, did you use to work in the antiques business or something?"

It would make sense if he had—that would certainly explain his knowledge.

Joshua shook his head. "No, I don't know the first thing about antiques."

"Then why did Abby say you used to restore historical artifacts?" Stella pressed.

Joshua's lips quirked. "I only told her that to put her at ease. If I hadn't, she probably never would've trusted me to restore Nocturne Stella."

Stella blinked in surprise, then let out a laugh.

"Aren't you worried Abby might blame you if you mess it up?"

"Not at all." Joshua's voice was calm and certain.

Stella nodded. For all Abby's fiery temperament, she was sharp enough to know what really mattered when the chips were down. She wouldn't hold it against Joshua.
