The Luna Is Gone by Angelique Quinn

Chapter 97

When I hurriedly returned to the wedding planner’s place and pushed open the glass door, Avia and Cameron were sitting on chairs, listening to classical music, enjoying the maid’s service, and leisurely tasting desserts.

Anger surged in my heart; I suddenly realized I had been played by them! Avia and Cameron obviously hadn’t noticed my arrival, chatting happily.

“Don’t worry, Mom. Just now, I deliberately sent her a message, telling her that Nathan left because I got burned, not because I falsely claimed you passed out. If she has any shame left, she should stay away from my Nathan.”

“You always are smart, I-‘

“What are you talking about?” I asked coldly, almost unable to believe my ears. What had they fabricated about Diana behind my back?

Without my knowledge, what had they told Diana?

“Nathan!” Avia saw me, trotted over, and grabbed my arm. “You’re finally back. I’m tasting the cake for our wedding with Mom. Come and try-”

“Avia.” I interrupted her sharply, looking at her in disbelief.

The brighter she smiled, the clearer Diana’s weak appearance became in my mind.

Suppressing the anger within me, I shook off her hand.

“What were you and Cameron talking about? What burn… Did you message Diana?”

“No, I didn’t.” Avia immediately denied. “You heard it wrong.”

“Then explain what happened. What’s the story about Cameron fainting? She’s perfectly fine sitting here!”

“I… I just wanted you to come back.” Avia shrugged, explaining with her shoulders hunched. “You’re my fiancé. What’s wrong with wanting you to be with me?”

“So, lying is the solution?” I looked at her, somewhat puzzled. “Avia, you’ve changed a lot. I almost don’t recognize you. Are you still the kind girl who saved me and Cameron from the warehouse? Why can’t I find a trace of her in you?”

Avia’s face turned pale instantly, and her lips trembled slightly. For a moment, I seemed to see panic in her eyes..

“That’s enough!” Cameron slammed the table suddenly. “Nathan, it’s me who had Avia tell you that I fainted. It has nothing to do with her. If you want to blame someone, blame me.”

I looked at Cameron, my mother, in disbelief.
