Alice closed her eyes and weighed her options.
Joshua rarely got drunk, much less to such an extent. It was an opportunity of a lifetime. She could not afford to let it slip away.
The night of the party, Joshua had slept with Luna, but he had no memory of that at all when he woke up the next morning. He thought he had slept with Alice instead, which was why he changed his mind about the divorce and even started to treat her better than he did prior to that.
Alice contemplated for a few moments before she finally made a bold decision: she would call Luna over and send her right into his arms.
Besides, even if Joshua found out he had slept with Luna, he would not admit to that at all and, instead, treat Alice even better due to his guilt. It was the perfect opportunity for Alice to drive a wedge between them.
She let out a sigh and gingerly picked up Joshua’s phone. Then, she composed a disappearing message to Luna and sent it to her.
Disappearing messages was a special text messaging function on Joshua’s phone. The message would automatically be deleted after the recipient had read it, and Joshua used it often whenever he wanted to conduct business in secret. That way, he would not be caught, and no one else would be able to obtain his trade secrets even if they managed to get ahold of his phone. This messaging function existed only on Joshua’s phone.
Meanwhile, Luna was in the children’s room as she cleared up Neil and Nellie’s toys. She had just managed to get them to fall asleep not too long ago.
Maybe it was because it had been a while since she last came to Blue Bay Villa, but the children’s room was terribly messy. Nellie’s design sketches and Neil’s toys were strewn everywhere.
Luna gathered the sketches from the floor and paused to admire Nellie’s designs. It was undeniable that Nellie had inherited Luna’s talent and love for jewelry design. Although Nellie’s sketches were still somewhat childish, they contained a few elements of her own design and creativity. That impressed Luna.
After picking up the rest of the toys, Luna gave Nellie’s sketches another look and could not help but add a few elements to spice up the designs. Just as she did, her phone chimed.
It was a text message from Joshua. [Come to the study.]
Luna froze at the text. She glanced at the time and realized that it was 10:30pm. Why did he want to see her so late at night?
