Alice’s words turned the room silent.
Joshua furrowed his brows. He picked up the tissue on the table and passed it to Alice. “I do love Luna Gibson in the past more than the present you. It’s a good thing if you’re willing to change, but if it’s too painful, just forget about it.“
In Joshua’s opinion, it would be extremely challenging for Alice to change back to the gentle and kind Luna Gibson six years ago.
He did not feel that Alice should change because of him. On the contrary, she has done so many things for him already. He did not want her to suffer just to appease him when their relationship was already coming to an end.
“It won’t be painful! “
Just when Joshua was about to retreat his hand, Alice grabbed onto his hand. Her eyes and tone were equally anxious. “Joshua, believe me, I could do it! I could change into whatever you like. Whatever you want me to be, I’ll become that person. Is that good?“
Joshua furrowed her brows slightly.
Alice’s gaze and her close to manic tone made him rather uncomfortable.
The last time a woman that made him so uncomfortable was the Walters’ Hailey Walter in Sea City. The woman that he had an arranged marriage with since young.
“Joshua, don’t leave me, please?“
Alice grabbed onto his hand tightly. Her tone and gaze were getting more and more manic. “I have wanted to marry you since I was young. I could finally be together with you. I cannot…“
Joshua narrowed his eyes. He lowered his head and looked at her closely, grabbing his arm. “You said you wanted to marry me since you were young?“
When Luna Gibson knew him, he was almost 17 years old.
She always said that knowing him was the best thing that happened during her teenage years.
Why, at that moment, did she say that she wanted to marry him since young?
Alice tensed at Joshua’s questions. She was in a daze for two seconds because raising her eyes and awkwardly letting him go. “I… got too excited and said wrongly.“
Joshua smiled. He lifted his hand and wiped away her tears at the corner of her eyes. “The agitated way
you were just now looked like someone I used to know.“
