Chapter 535


    A momentter, sheughed, “You’re right, we are quite simr. But she doesn’t seem to like them


    anymore.“


    The man sucked in a breath. “People change, she’spletely different now from the woman she used


    to be.“


    Luna raided her eyes and looked at him. “Then what about you? Are you the same man you are now as


    you were back then?“


    Joshua paused, thenughed, “You didn’t know me back then.“


    Luna lifted her lips in a smile. “That’s true.“


    She knew the man he used to be, better than anyone else.


    The atmosphere in the restaurant turned quiet again. By the time the both of them finished their meal,


    each upied with their own thoughts, the downpour outside had stopped. The fresh, earthy scent of


    wet soil permeated the air.


    Maybe because he had spent the day having fun with the children, Joshua felt particrly rxed. That


    was why after dinner, he invited Luna up to the roof for moon gazing.


    In the night sky that was just washed by the rain, the moon was nowhere to be seen, with only tiny


    specks of golden stars shining brightly in the distance.


    On such a beautiful night, he felt as if his soul had been cleansed too.


    The man beside her downed the red wine in his ss, and started asking about the past few years,


    about her life, raising Neil and Nellie alone.


    After spending the whole day together, he saw how she opened her heart to the children, and truly


    understood he could never make up for the six years that he was absent from the children’s lives.


    But just because he could not make up for it, did not mean he could not try to understand.


    In the beginning, Luna was reluctant to discuss the children. He was too sharp and perceptive; she was


    worried she would identally expose the fact that she actually had three children. But…


    When he had downed five to six sses of wine, his voice started to grow vague and indistinct, his


    words slurring together. She finally felt at ease and quietly started to tell him about the children’s past.


    ”Since he was a kid, Neil has been very sensible, because Nellie was always sick, and I was busy all the


    time. He even learned how to cook for sister. Once, I came home from work and immediately smelled the


    fragrance of scrambled eggs wafting through the whole house. I opened the door and saw Neil standing


    on a little stool, frying eggs in the kitchen, his entire body covered in oil… ”

    She looked up at the night sky as she said this, gentle affection swimming through her eyes.


    Joshua looked at her nearly-perfect side profile, and the glow in her eyes, and he started beating


    violently, as if it had been hit by an object.


    Under the influence of the alcohol, any sense of rationality had long fled his mind.


    He turned and looked at her. “Luna.“


    The moment she turned her head, with a loud ng, Joshua’s wine ss fell on the ground.


    His kiss was sudden and furious, undeniable. Luna was shocked, she wanted to push him away.


    But her hands reached out and wrapped around his slim, yet muscr waist.


    She closed her eyes and immersed herself in his gentle movements. At this moment, she could no


    longer tell whether she epted Nigel’s illness or…


    The fire between the two of them burned from the roof all the way to Joshua’s room.


    The night was long.


    And so was the ambiguity between them.


    In a second on the second floor of the hotel, Alice who had been caught in the rain took a shower and


    blow-dried her hair. Then, she refused to give up and adamantly put on the same set of revealing


    pajamas.


    She refused to believe she could not make him hers!


    She made a mistake today, willingly giving Luna an opportunity to have fun with Joshua and the two


    children.


    But tonight, Joshua was definitely hers!


    After slipping into the pajamas, she covered herself with a trench coat and headed upstairs. She had


    gotten Joshua’s room key from Lucas and even reminded them not toe upstairs. She was still his


    wife, even if Lucas did not want to obey her orders, he had no other choice.


    Alice sucked in a deep breath and took the key out of her pocket confidently. Earlier downstairs, she had


    heard from Lucas that Joshua had been drinking tonight, and quite a lot at that.


    That was why…


    “Luna…”


    Inserting the key into the keyhole, before she could turn it in the lock, she heard the sounds of a man and


    a woman’s mixed breathing drifting out of the room.


    The sounds were harsh in her ears, a trace of resentment shed in Alice’s eyes. She clutched the key in


    her hand tightly.
