“You’re hurt…“
“Just because I’m hurt doesn’t mean we should delay our progress.“
The two voices grew further and further away. Luna stood motionless as she watched the two of them
leave. There was an indescribable feeling in her heart.
After a while, the supervisor let out an awkward cough. “Ms. Luna, shall we…continue?“
Luna finally came to and picked up the documents in front of her before she turned to look at the
supervisor. “Please continue…“
It was noon when they finished their on-site investigation. According to the plan, they were supposed to
have lunch in the car as they made their way to the next destination to attend the symposium for the
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdesign schemes.
However, citing Joshua’s injury as an excuse, Alice insisted on heading to a nearby restaurant for lunch
instead. Luna wanted to head to their next destination as soon as possible, but since Gavin and Joshua
did not object, Luna had no choice but to follow.
In the restaurant, Alice and Joshua sat on one side of the table, while Luna and Gavin were seated
together on the other, much to Luna’s disgust.
“Joshua, your arm is hurt. Let me feed you instead, “
said Alice in a syrupy tone as soon as their food was served.
Joshua frowned and glanced at his sling before he murmured in acceptance. Alice was delighted at
that. She picked up his food, gently blew on it to cool it, and brought the spoon up to Joshua’s mouth
as though feeding a child.
Joshua was visibly uncomfortable at that. His brows were furrowed throughout the entire process.
Sitting across from him, Luna lowered her head and ate her meal in silence, trying to block out Alice’s
simpering voice. She kept telling herself not to listen and not to care. She was just Joshua’s ex-wife in
the past, and the only reason she had returned was to get pregnant with Joshua’s child. Therefore, it
did not matter who he chose to be with. It was none of her business anymore.
However, the more she tried to convince herself, the more uneasy Luna became.
”Hey, eat slowly, ” Gavin’s voice rang out next to her ear.
Luna frowned. Before she could react, Gavin’s fork appeared in her line of vision. He put down a chunk
of steak on her plate and said, ”Here, have some more, Ms. Luna. You should eat more—you’re too
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmskinny.”
Luna lifted her head and met Gavin’s sleazy gaze. All of a sudden, her stomach turned. She picked up
the piece of meat and dropped it back on Gavin’s plate. ” It’s okay. You can have it.”
She was just about to continue eating when she suddenly realized that her fork had touched the same
piece of steak Gavin’s fork had. She felt as if she were about to vomit.
Luna hastily put down her cutlery and declared, “I’m full.”
Joshua glanced at Luna’s unfinished steak, then glanced at Alice’s food, still untouched. “Alice, switch
seats with Luna.”
Alice’s hand paused in mid-air. “Why? What’s wrong?”
Joshua said indifferently, “Luna’s finished with her meal, but you haven’t eaten yet. Since she has
nothing better to do, she can feed me instead.”
