Chapter 2086


    Rosalyn could not help chuckling as she recalled this incident. “Maybe it was all just a figment of my


    imagination. Sirius was just a kind and gentle person, so how could he possibly have done anything to


    hurt Lucy?”


    With that, she instinctively turned to nce at Charles.


    Initially, she thought that Charles would be upset at the mention of Lucy’s passing, but to her surprise…


    Charles curled his lips into a small smile when he heard this. “I agree; I don’t think Sirius could’ve done


    something like that.”


    Then, he shot Rosalyn an earnest nce and said, “Besides, I don’t want Lucy’s death to have had


    something to do with you or the people around you.”


    He had been with Rosalyn for more than 20 years, and he knew of the tremendous sacrifices she had


    made for him.


    At this moment, he could finally admit, 20 years after Lucy’s death, that he had fallen for Rosalyn.


    He did not want Lucy’s death to have had anything to do with Rosalyn.


    This belongs ? N?velDra/ma.Org.


    Even though he constantly doubted himself for being unfaithful to Lucy…


    The reason he did not wish for Rosalyn to be involved in Lucy’s death was not because of his love for


    Lucy, but because he did not want anyone to misinterpret Rosalyn’s loyalty and devotion toward him as


    something else.


    She was a kind woman. Even after knowing Lucy’s appearance would drive her and Charles apart, she


    still agreed to cancel their engagement and did not pester them after that.


    Besides, the first time Charles and Rosalyn saw each other after their engagement was called off was


    after Lucy died, and Rosalyn hade to take care of him in his psychotic state.


    She was an incredibly kind, considerate woman, and he did not want anyone to misunderstand her.


    Rosalyn understood exactly what Charles was trying to say, so she curled her lips into a smile and


    reached out to hold his hand. “I don’t want Lucy’s death to have had anything to do with Sirius, either.”


    Luna bit her lip and lifted her head to shoot Joshua a somewhat awkward nce. Even though both


    Charles and Rosalyn were confident that Sirius had not been involved in Lucy’s death…they had not


    seen the video yet.


    Luna and Joshua had both watched the videos, and so they knew that not only was Sirius the


    mastermind behind all this, but Larry had been an aplice too.


    However, neither of them dared to expose the truth just yet.


    Charles and Rosalyn had just recovered, after all.


    Joshua let out a sigh, put his arm around Luna’s shoulder, and shot Charles and Rosalyn a gentle


    nce. “Father, Mother, initially, I had wanted Luna to stay here with you, but I suddenly recall that I have


    something to take care of with Luna…”


    “Go on, don’t worry about us.” Rosalyn waved her hand in dismissal. “Luna’s our daughter, and we still


    have plenty of opportunities to spend time with her.


    “If you have things you need to take care of, feel free to attend to them.”


    Charles, too, nodded in agreement. “Don’t worry; I’ll be here to take care of Rosalyn.”


    Seeing that Charles was mentally stable and the color had returned to Rosalyn’s cheeks, Luna was


    finally relieved. She bade them goodbye and turned to follow Joshua out of the room.


    As soon as they stepped out the door, Luna shot him a helpless nce. “So the woman you’ve been on


    the phone with was my mother all this while?”


    Joshua curled his lips into a smile and pulled her into his arms. Then, he pressed her against the wall


    and yfully pinched her nose. “What did you think? Did you think I was seeing another woman behind


    your back, Mrs. Lynch?


    “Have you somehow conjured up an image of you crying at home because your husband was out with


    another woman, hmm?”


    The warmth of Joshua’s skin made Luna blush, and the feeling of his breath against her neck made her


    feel a little ticklish.


    She tilted her head away so as not to meet his gaze and said in a tight voice, “I didn’t.”


    Even though this thought had passed her mind, she did not linger on it at all.


    She should not have suspected Joshua, just like how Joshua had never suspected her before, either.


    “Really?” Joshua asked in a low, yful voice as he lifted her chin coyly.
