Chapter 271


    As soon as he turned around, Joshua caught a glimpse of the bloodstain on the sheets where Aliceid


    down moments ago.


    Joshua let out a sigh of relief and left a note on the bed. With that, he left the bedroom.


    Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alice discovered that she was on her period. She was so frustrated that she


    felt like hitting her head against the wall.


    She could not believe the impable timing. She had nned to seduce Joshua so that she could


    officially be his wife, but her sudden menstruation ruined her ns.


    Alice cleaned herself up and rummaged around the medicine cab until she found her birth control pill.


    She swallowed the pill in one gulp. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Joshua to sleep with her!


    Alice came out of the bathroom with a smile, but Joshua was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a


    bowl of steaming hot soup on the nightstand, along with a pack of tampons.


    A maid was busy changing the bedsheets. When she saw Alice emerge from the bathroom, the maid


    went up to her and handed her Joshua’s note. “Mr. Lynch left this for you.“


    Alice frowned and opened the note. Joshua’s handwriting read, (I’ll be sleeping in the guest bedroom


    tonight. Take care of yourself. There’s no


    rush. We still have the rest of our lives to spend together.]


    Alice crumpled the paper in anger. The rest of their lives! Joshua always used that as an excuse to reject


    her.

    She had returned to Blue Bay Vi for quite some time, yet she could not even get so much as a kiss


    from him!


    Alice was already busy dealing with Luna and the two children. She finally had the opportunity to seal the


    deal with Joshua, but he ended up finding out about her period.


    After the maid left, Alice closed the bedroom door. Sheid down on the bed and took out her phone.


    “Mr. Walter, I need your help.“


    “I found a new ce. I’m moving tonight.“ Luna decided to notify Anne of her move during breakfast.


    ng! Anne’s fork immediately slid out of her hand and fell onto the table. She hastily picked it up and


    asked, “What? You’re moving so soon?“


    “Yeah. The rental isn’t cheap. I want to move as soon as I can since I’ve paid this month’s rent.“


    Anne sulked. “I didn’t think you’d be able to find a new ce so quickly…“


    “I had a lot of help from Theo. “ Luna shrugged. “He has connections.“


    Anne pursed her lips. “I think it’s a little strange that you guys barely know each other, yet he’s already


    helping you out so much. What’s he up to?“ Luna chuckled. “He’s not a bad guy.“


    “I didn’t say he was.“ Anne sighed. “By the way, Luna, do you know the eldest daughter of the Walters


    from Sea City? I think her name is Hailey.“


    Luna froze. “Yes, I know her.“ Hailey Walter was the girl with whom Joshua was to marry many years


    ago. They used to think that it was just the parents’ meddling, but to their surprise, Hailey had taken this


    arranged marriage seriously and insisted on marrying Joshua as soon as she graduated.


    At that time, Joshua had no intention of getting married to Hailey, much to his parent’s dismay. When


    they were dating, Luna was head over heels in love with Joshua, and she suggested that Joshua marry


    her instead.


    Luna thought he would brush this off, but he took her to the Ministry of Registration and got their


    marriage certificate the next day. Luna thought this was the beginning of her fairytale love story, but she


    was wrong.


    She still remembered what Joshua had told her when they were getting married…


    “I can’t promise that I ‘ll fall in love with you, but I can promise you one thing: I will never betray you.


    You’ll always be safe with me.“


    Every time Luna recalled his words, she could not help but feel repulsed. He promised to never betray


    her and that he would always keep her safe.


    What lies!
