Joshua’s scent grew closer and stronger.
Back then, Luna longed for Joshua to kiss her himself, but he never once kissed her first after three years of marriage.
Whether it be in life or in bed, she was always the one who made the first move.
Previously, she just thought that he was passive. However, at that moment, she finally saw clearly.
It was not that he was passive; he was only passive toward her. Just like at that moment, she had been Joshua’s maid for only half a month, yet he could kiss her just like that.
At that thought, Luna’s eyes turned cold. Slap!
The moment Joshua’s lips grazed hers, a crisp slap rang through the entire backyard.
Joshua’s face was slapped so hard that his head swung to the side. His expression darkened as he regained his senses.
He turned back and looked at Luna with fury. “How dare you slap me?“
Luna retracted her hand that ached due to the slap. She glared at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, you’ve done inappropriate things. Should I not have slapped you?“
Then, she looked at him mockingly. “Mr. Lynch, are you of clear mind now?”
Joshua said nothing as he glared at Luna coldly. His eyes were so cold, Luna felt as if the surrounding air froze. Still, she met his gaze fearlessly.
”Was this not what you always wanted?” After a while, Joshua smiled mockingly. ”Luna, pretending to be otherwise the first time is smart, but doing that the second time is just a dumb mistake.”
”Mr. Lynch, how confident of you.”
”What else could it be, then?” Joshua wiped his mouth as he smirked with hostility. ”You kept pretending to be my wife. You came here willingly to be my maid, constantly pleasing my daughter. You even tried to drive a wedge in between my fiancée and me! Luna, you’re just trying to seduce me. Don’t think I don’t know about this!”
Luna closed her eyes. With tightly clenched fists, she opened her eyes and looked at Joshua. ”Mr. Lynch, you sure know how to joke, don’t you? Since when have I driven a wedge between you and Aura?”
She indirectly admitted his other reasons; she indeed wanted to get his attention.
However, Aura was the one that kept finding fault with her, yet Joshua pushed all the blame onto Luna! Apart from saying Joshua was truly in love with Aura, what else could she say? How could she explain that?
Joshua looked at her dangerously. He sneered and went closer toward her. ”Have you never?”
Luna instinctively retreated, so much so that there was no more room to back up to.
She stood on the spot, calmed herself down, and looked at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, I see that you care about your fiancée a lot. If you care so much for her, why did you kiss me? Do you like the excitement of betraying your lovers?“
When Luna was with him back then, he went behind her back and got together with Aura. He was already with Aura, yet he went behind her back and flirted with Luna.
Joshua’s eyes turned ice cold. “I dare you to say I one more time! “
His eyes were filled with murderous intentions. Luna sneered at him. Her eyes were fearless. “Daddy, Aunty! “
In their stalemate, a child’s voice broke the silence in the backyard.
Nellie, in pink pajamas with blueberry prints, stood by the entrance and looked at the two of them groggily. “It’s late. Why are you two not sleeping yet?“
Then, Nellie ran to Luna and hugged Luna’s legs. “I was startled, and I can’t go back to sleep. Can you put me back to sleep?“
Nellie’s actions and words made Luna come to her senses.
She turned to look at Joshua. “Mr. Lynch, please step aside.“
