“Theo.“

When Theo’s hand was on the door handle, Luna frowned and called out to him, “Don’t go.“

Theo frowned, turned, and looked at her, confusion etched across his features. “Why not? He did those things with you last night, then he brought me here, and made it look like the both of us were together! Because he was worried his wife would find out ! A man like him, we should expose him in front of his wife, and ruin his image! “

“What good will that do us?“ Luna closed her eyes and smiled bitterly. No one else knew Alice’s identity, but she did. Back then, Hailey was so deeply in love with Joshua, she was even willing to go through plastic surgery to look like the person she hated the most… She did all of that just to be together with Joshua. That was why, even if Alice knew what happened between Luna and Joshua, nothing would change. She would not leave him, at most she would make Joshua coax her and placate her. It was meaningless.

Theo frowned. “Then we’ll just allow this incident to pass, just like this?“

Luna squinted. “For the moment, yes.“ She could not create too much of a fuss out of this. After all,

she had yet to get pregnant with Joshua’s child. She had to continue lying in wait.

Theo clenched his hands tightly into fists and slammed them onto the tabletop. “They’re too much! “

A long while later, he retracted his fists, raised his head, and looked at Luna seriously. “Can I… be your boyfriend?“

Luna paused. A moment later, she smiled. “You deserve a better woman than me.“ With that, she left the bed and entered the bathroom. “Can you go downstairs and buy me some breakfast? “ After last night’s intense workout, she was fairly hungry.

Theo looked at her from behind and was about to say something, but stopped himself in the end.

“Joshua, eat something.“

In the room next door, Alice gently placed Joshua’s breakfast in front of him. “I purposely asked the chef to prepare this for you, your favorite sandwich.“

Joshua glanced at the sandwich in her hands but had no appetite at all. His mind was filled with Luna’s cold expression from the incident this morning.

“What right do you have to question me? Who are you to me?“

The man’s eyebrows furrowed.

What right did he have to question her? Who was he to her?

He was her boss! Was that enough?

He closed his eyes and smiled bitterly. A moment later, he opened them again. “I’m heading to the office now.“ With that, he lifted his legs and left.

Alice looked at the sumptuous breakfast on the table and bit her lip harshly. She could tell Joshua still cared. Still cared that Luna slept with Theo!

Her hands clenched tightly into fists. It seemed like just making them sleep together was not enough… so, she took her phone. “Mr. Walter, send an email to all the news outlets…“

Luna had a hefty breakfast.

After breakfast, she curled up on the couch and video called Neil.

The two children were halfway through their flight and were now waiting in the airport waiting for their connecting flight.

“Mommy, you have to take care of yourself! “ Neil said as he sipped on his juice, “This morning I rejected Idiot Lynch when he asked whether we wanted you to come to send us off. I think you’ll cry. I hate to see you cry.“

“Yeah, exactly. “ Beside him, Nellie smiled sweetly too, her eyes curving up into little crescents. “ Mommy, you have to take good care of yourself in the future! Don’t let Daddy bully you! “

Luna’s heart soured at the little girl’s words. Even when Nellie left her, she knew to remind her not to be bullied by Joshua…

She sniffed and tempered her emotions. “Is your Mommy someone who’ll be bullied so easily?“

Nellie pouted. “Even though Mommy won’t be bullied, we will still worry! “

Luna sighed and continued chatting with the children for a while, only hanging up reluctantly when they had to board the plane.

Not long later, Theo knocked on her room door. “ The car is ready.“

Joshua left without even telling her, and this was the countryside. Since the amusement park was closed, not many taxis were available. That was why Theo only found a single taxi after searching downstairs for a long time.

Luna sucked in a deep breath, packed her belongings, and went downstairs with Theo. But she never expected…

The moment the two of them walked out of the door, they were surrounded by reporters.

“Mr. Theo Allen, can I know why you and Ms. Luna walked out from the hotel at the same time, what relationship do the two of you share?“

“Mr. Theo Allen, someone said they saw you entering Ms. Luna’s room last night, and the two of you spent the night together. Is that true?“

“I heard the two of you both stay in the same apartment building and on the same floor at the Swan Lake Residences, were the two of you already together when you rented your apartments?“

“The two of you, one of you is a famous artist, and the other is a famous jewelry designer, it can be said that the two of you are a match made in heaven, can I ask how the two of you got to know each other?“

The series of questions bombarded them like a round of gunshots.

In the chaos, Theo hurriedly protected Luna. But there were too many reporters. The two of them were surrounded in the middle of the crowd and could hardly move.

Luna twisted her eyebrows.

How could so many reporters suddenly appear in such a remote place?

. It was weird. But now was not the time to worry about this.

The group of reporters aimed the long lenses of their cameras at Luna and Theo’s faces, as if they would surround them here and not let them go, if they refused to answer their questions.

Finally, Theo made up his mind and pulled Luna into his arms. “That’s right, we’re together now. We have been together for a long time. I was the one who helped Luna look for her apartment in Swan Lake Residences. We were already together back then! “

The reporters were thrown into a frenzy at Theo’s words. They threw question after question at them continuously, but Theo shot back at every one of them coldly. Finally, the reporters scattered away angrily. Only then did Theo pull Luna behind him and they both climbed into the car.

“I’m sorry.“

After the car door was closed, Theo sucked in a deep breath. “With the situation just now, I had no choice but to…“

“It’s okay.“

Luna turned and glanced at him softly. “Thank you.“

Looking at her face that was so beautiful it was nearly perfect, Theo gritted his teeth and asked her again, “Luna, can I be your boyfriend?“

The top floor of the Lynch Group, the President’s office.

The tall and lean man sat in the large reclining chair, watching the news that was streaming on the screen of his computer with cold eyes.

“That’s right, we’re together now. We have been together for a long time. I was the one who helped Luna look for her apartment in Swan Lake Residences. We were already together back then! “

Luna had been staying in the Swan Lake Residences for more than a month. So, it turned out she was already in a relationship with Theo back then. But, for the past month… Both of them, in the apartment at the Swan Lake Residences, in Sea City…

The image of Luna in bed, hugging him tightly, floated in front of his eyes. His heart felt as if it had been cut in half by a sharp object.

Alas, he did not see through her!

That’s right.

A woman who stole his and Alice’s children… How could she be so innocent?

”Joshua.” At that moment , the door to the office was pushed open. Jude Smith walked in. ”There is news of Hailey Walter.”

News of Hailey Walter?

Joshua closed his laptop, raised his head, and looked at Jude. “What news?“

“Your guess was accurate.“ Jude placed a stack of photographs and documents on Joshua’s desk then sat down in a chair. “The woman who died is not Hailey Walter. I looked into the dead Hailey’s identity for two whole weeks before I finally found her body.“

Joshua frowned and took the document.
