After all, we haven't known each other for very long."
The three men present were no fools; they immediately picked up on the subtle implications of Joshua's words.
They hadn't known each other for very long.
That meant he didn't remember what happened three years ago.
A calculating glint flashed in Jonathan's eyes.
He hadn't let Aurora burst in and expose the truth right away because he wanted to test Joshua first.
If Joshua had remembered everything, Aurora's little reveal would have been utterly pointless.
Jonathan wasn't that stupid.
He asked, "How exactly did you and Star meet? Why hasn't she ever mentioned you?"
Joshua answered smoothly, "When I came to Solmaris recently, I accidentally rear-ended her car. That's how we met.
We haven't known each other long, so it's a flash marriage. It makes sense that you haven't heard of me."
Skyler, Jonathan, and Coleman were left momentarily speechless.
Haven't known each other long... a flash marriage...
If they remembered correctly, these two were practically engaged three years ago.
Skyler's look toward Joshua grew even more complex.
Since Coleman had received a text from Stella beforehand, he had a rough idea of what was going on, so he just quietly sipped his tea without pressing the issue.
Jonathan prodded further, "So, once your arrangement is over, will you get a divorce?"
Joshua glanced at him. "Maybe we will, maybe we won't."
Jonathan frowned.
That was practically a non-answer.
"What do you mean?" he demanded.
Joshua smiled faintly. "If Star happens to fall in love with me during this time, naturally, we won't get divorced."
Jonathan stared dead into his eyes, his tone aggressive.
