Chapter 2694 Joshua closed his eyes and sighed. “Luna, please calm down, and I‘ll explain everything.”
Luna furrowed her brow upon hearing this.
She plopped down in the lounge chair on the balcony and narrowed her eyes as she stared at the snow–covered city beyond. “Alright, I‘m listening.”
She wanted to hear what he had to say about this.
Joshua sighed when he sensed Luna‘s rage and said slowly, “I know that you‘re mad at me right now, but please think about this: What was Steven‘s reaction like when you bumped into him at the airport today? Did he admit that he was Luke, or did he patiently listen to you recounting your memories withi Luke?
“Try to remember Gwen‘s reaction when she saw Steven just now and how she has been acting over the last few days... If you were me, would you have come forward with the truth after seeing just how unhinged Gwen had been over the past few days at any mention of Luke?”
Luna was silent after hearing this. She bit her lip and recalled how Gwen had looked in the dump station the day before, rummaging in the garbage with her red, frozen hands in search of the metal plate Luke had given her.
Luna bit her lip nervously. No matter how reluctant she was, she had to admit that Joshua was right.
Regardless... Luna let out an exhale and said, “Alright, you chose to hide this from Gwen for her own good, but what about me? Why did you have to lie to me too?”
Joshua closed his eyes and whispered, “Knowing how close you and Gwen are...how can I entrust you with this secret? I‘m more than familiar with how bad of a liar you are, and besides, the more you treasure someone, the harder it is for you to control your emotions. What if you suddenly took pity on her and blurted out the truth to her? This would‘ve led to chaos.”
