The entire room grew silent as Joshua’s words hung in the air.
After a long pause, Nathan smiled and said, “What are you talking about, Mr. Lynch? We’re going to become work partners soon. Plus, your wife is close friends with Luna. Isn’t this marriage meant to be? Why are you— “
“Because, “ responded Joshua as he pointed his bony finger at Luna, “she’s not a good match.“
The atmosphere in the booth grew so silent that one could hear a pin drop.
The color drained from Luna’s face, but Theo’s expression did not look good either.
Nathan and Celeste looked at one another, bewildered.
“Joshua.“ Alice frowned and sat down next to Joshua. Then, she lowered her voice and said, “Luna finally managed to find a boyfriend, and both Theo and his parents seem to be very happy with her…
Why are you saying things like this? Do you know what’ll happen if you break up a marriage?“
Although Alice had lowered her voice and appeared to be whispering in Joshua’s ear, everyone heard her.
At first glance, there did not seem to be anything wrong with what Alice said. However, upon further scrutiny, she implied that there was something wrong with Luna’s character, which led to her having a hard time finding a boyfriend.
Celeste furrowed her brows at Alice’s words. She lifted her head to glance at Luna, then at Alice.
Meanwhile, Nathan’s expression darkened. ”Mr. Lynch, you claim that Luna isn’t a good match. Can you elaborate?”
