Luna’s eyes seemed to smile as she spoke. Her tone was relaxed, too.
However, only she would know how much in despair she was and how cold her heart was.
Even if she knew Joshua’s plans and arrangements, she could not confront Joshua directly. Nigel still
waited for her to rescue him.
She could not let her momentary emotions spoil her entire plan!
With that in mind, Luna could only use this way of pretending to be relaxed to get closer to Joshua. She
brushed the incident off casually.
After all, she had slept with him—everyone witnessed it downstairs. She guessed that Joshua could not
possibly send her to those escorts anymore.
However, Luna did not expect that Joshua would continue to play dumb with her.
Joshua’s eyes narrowed a little. He looked at her with a rather complicated gaze. “What are you talking
about?“
Luna was stunned. She looked at Joshua, and she suddenly felt that pretending to be relaxed made it
seem quite comical.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt turned out that when she tried her best to find a way for Joshua to excuse his actions, he chose to
play dumb instead.
Indeed, playing dumb was a much better way than her crass tactics.
“Just forget about it.“ She yawned. “Mr. Lynch, I didn’t sleep well last night. Can I continue sleeping for
a little while?“
Joshua casually put out the cigarette in between his fingers. “Here? In Gwen and Ben Zeller’s house?“
He calmly swept Luna a gaze. “Since when were you so friendly with them?“
When he heard that Luna was in their house that morning, he was still worried that Gwen and Ben
might do something inappropriate to Luna.
However, not only did she appear in front of him in one piece, but she also decided to continue staying
in Gwen’s house after vigorous sex.
Her casual, lazy attitude was as if she and Gwen were long-time good friends.
Luna closed her eyes.
“It’s because of Theo. Theo and Ben are friends. I have to respect them, so we shook on it and became
friends.“
“That simple?“
“Of course.“
Luna rolled her eyes and got out of bed, still in her lingerie. Like previously, she put on her trench coat
and headed outside.
“Since you don’t want me to stay here, I’ll follow you back, Mr. Lynch.“
Seeing her walking to the door, Joshua furrowed his brows hard and called after her, “Come back.“
Luna stopped in her tracks. She turned back and raised her eyebrow, looking at him.
Joshua threw Luna’s clothes by the bedside over to her with a darkened expression. “Put them on.“
Luna rolled her eyes.
She bent down, picked them up, and started putting on her clothes with her back facing Joshua.
Her slender waist did not have an ounce of fat. She was so delicate and beautiful that she looked like a
statue.
When she faced her back toward him, Joshua noticed a thin, long scar on her back. He furrowed his
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmbrows slightly.
He never noticed that she had a scar like that.
“What happened…to your back?“ Joshua decided to ask after a long while of hesitation.
Luna’s hand paused a little as she buttoned up. The scar on her back was caused by the accident.
Because the wound was too deep, even with the best cosmetic surgery, there would still be a long thin
scar.
When she was recuperating, she could not even lie down properly because of the wound on her back.
At the thought of those painful, helpless days at that moment, her heart would still grow cold.
When he noticed how she did not answer him, Joshua asked once more. Luna took a deep breath. She
turned around and smiled at him. “I used to like climbing trees when I was young. I got this scar from
falling down a tree.”
She was clearly lying, but Joshua was too lazy to expose her for it.
After putting on her clothes, Luna stood by the door and spun around. “Can we go now?”
Joshua furrowed his brows. He took a glance at her thick and provocative make -up. “Go remove your
make-up.”
Luna rolled her eyes and him once more before she turned and headed into the bathroom.
