The entire office fell silent at Theo’s words. Celeste looked at Theo in shock. “Theo, you…“
Joshua frowned in displeasure, rather displeased at Theo’s persistence. He squinted his eyes.
“Is Luna that important to you?“ Theo puffed his chest. “Yes.“
“More important than your own mother that brought you up?“
Theo laughed. “Mr. Lynch, you don’t seem to know my family well. My parents have always been abroad trading, and I grew up with my grandparents. My skills for art were also cultivated by them. As for my parents…“
Theo swept Celeste a glance. “They’ve never truly cared for me. If they had cared for me, they wouldn’t have forbidden me from being together with Luna, just because of other people’s gossip. They wouldn’t have spread rumors about Luna being with other men when they clearly knew that Luna’s my girlfriend.“
Celeste’s face was extremely pale. She always thought that as long as she showed how cheap and dirty Luna was, Theo would come around. He would know that he had made a mistake and break up with Luna.
She never would have thought that Theo’s feelings for Luna were so deep that he would be willing to cut off ties with his parents. “Theo, forget about it.“
Luna furrowed her brows. In the end, she still could not help but open her mouth and say, “It’s just a small misunderstanding. There’s no need to cut ties with your parents.“
She lowered her gaze and looked at the time. “This is still the office, and it’s still working hours. Why don’t you take Mrs. Allen back for now? We can talk about it later.“
Luna and Theo were only faking it being together. She could not let Theo cut ties with his parents just because of his fake girlfriend.
