NovelStart“Things are getting interesting now.“ Luke crossed his legs on top of each other and glanced at Joshua.
“ You asked me to keep your divorce papers safe just for her, and now she’s pregnant with another
man’s child. On top of that, she seems to be delighted by this baby. This is interesting.“
Joshua shot him a cold glance and said, “My decision to divorce Alice has nothing to do with Luna.“
Luke curled his lips into a smirk. “Do you even believe yourself when you say this?“
Joshua did not answer.
Seeing how Joshua still refused to believe that his divorce had everything to do with Luna, Luke
sneered and said, “There’s no point lying to yourself anymore.“
All of a sudden, Joshua’s phone rang.
“You’re a little talkative today,“ he snapped as he glared at Luke before taking out his phone, eyeing the
screen.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was Alice.
Joshua furrowed his brows and cast Luke a murderous glare, signaling for him to shut up before he
picked up the call. “What’s wrong?“
Alice’s sugary voice rang out from the other end of the line, “Joshua, it’s getting late now. What time are
you coming home? Have you eaten? Are you working late tonight?“
Joshua might have felt a tingle of warmth in his heart when he heard Alice’s concerned tone back then,
but at this moment…
He felt nothing but irritation.
He frowned slightly and asked, “Are you waiting for me?“
“Yes,“ Alice replied, smiling. “I made you some crème brûlée for dessert. If you’re going to come back
in an hour, then l’11 wait for you, but if you can’t make it, l’ll keep it refrigerated and bring it out for you
when you come back—“
“There’s no need, “ Joshua interrupted coldly. “I’m coming home now.“
Alice froze when she heard this. Before she could reply, however, Joshua had already hung up the
phone.
“You’re leaving now?“
“Yes, “ Joshua said curtly before turning around and leaving.
When the door closed, Luke lowered his head to glance at the divorce papers placed on the table
behind him. He could not help letting out a feeble smile.
Gwen’s ward.
Gwen leaned against her headboard and was so excited when she heard Luna’s news that her hands
trembled. “Are you really pregnant?“
Luna grabbed Gwen’s hands and nodded earnestly. “ As soon as you’ve finished your surgery and I’ve
made sure you’re safe, I’ll find a chance to leave.“
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmGwen paused for a while, then gripped Luna’s hands tightly in return. “Don’t wait any longer. Why don’t
you leave now? You mentioned that Alice is here in Sea City now and that Jason… It’ll only get more
complicated the longer you stay here. I can’t imagine what would happen if Joshua found out about
everything.
“Why don’t I ask Luke to book your flight tickets and create an alibi for you here in Sea City, and you
leave immediately?“
Luna felt a surge of warmth pass through her heart when she heard this.
Gwen had still not recovered yet, but when she heard Luna’s good news, she was even more excited
than Luna herself.
“I’ll call Luke right now.“ Gwen picked up her phone and was about to dial Luke’s number when Luna
stopped her.
“It’s okay. Waiting for a day or two won’t change things.“
Besides, everything that happened to Gwen, even the baby in her belly, was all because of Luna.
She had just arrived in Sea City and had not even started helping Gwen convince Luke to let her abort
the baby. If she left…what would happen to Gwen’s baby?
If she vanished without a trace, Joshua would not be willing to help Gwen either.
