Granny Lynch rolled her eyes.
“Those that didn’t know would think Luna was the one who gave birth to the children.“
Joshua lifted his lips slightly in a wry smile. “ Granny, you can’t just say things like that.“
Six years ago, the only woman in his life was Luna Gibson. Where could he have met Luna?
The old lady pursed her lips. “Was I wrong? You care more about Luna than your own father. Alice on the other hand, in the past they didn’t seem close, but now she acts like she’s his daughter! “
With that, she could not help it and glared at him. “Go upstairs and take a look at your father! “
Joshua raised his teacup again and drained the cup, then placed the cup down elegantly and headed upstairs.
When he reached the first floor, Alice was just shutting the door to the guest bedroom behind her.
Seeing him come upstairs, she laughed lightly, “ Adrian is asleep. Don’t worry, I’ve comforted him, he won’t lose his temper at you anymore.“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. “I need to talk to you.“
With that he turned and entered the study. Alice followed him in.
Joshua stiffened immediately. A moment later, his tone softened, “You… you are generally a very careful and meticulous person, how could you have missed this?“
A flash of a smirk crossed her lips, satisfied that her trickery had successfully fooled Joshua. But still, she rubbed her against head and pressed her cheek to his back, her tone was slightly unhappy, as if she was wronged and felt dissatisfied. “How am I careful and meticulous? If I was, I would not have missed all the evil things that Hailey did, I also would have predicted she would commit suicide because she didn’t want to leave the country…”
Joshua’s heart skipped a beat at her remorseful tone. A moment later, he sighed and held her gently, “I misunderstood you.”
No matter how careful and meticulous she was, when faced with her best friend’s suicide, it was only normal that she lost her rational mind.
“Joshua.” Seizing the opportunity when he was being gentle to her, Alice decided to take things one step further. “We’re finally home.” The more she spoke, the shyer and more bashful she sounded, “I… I want to sleep with you tonight. You wouldn’t reject me, would you?”
