“I don’t like it.“
Joshua frowned and ripped her arms off of his neck. “ I’m afraid your plan won’t work. Maybe if you
asked before last night, I might’ve considered your suggestion. But after last night…“
He placed his lips beside her ear, his low voice coupled together with his hot breath flowing into her
ears, “I know you’re with Malcolm Quinn. Do you think I would keep someone loyal to my opponent
beside me and allow you to work against me?“
With that, he turned his head coldly and prepared to leave.
However, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes seemed to be challenging him. “Are you
that insecure?“
He frowned and looked at her, saying nothing.
Her lips curved up in a smile. “I’m just a woman, you’ve run your background checks on me, you should
know by now what I ‘m capable of. And yet you’re afraid I would steal your company secrets, what else
is it, if you’re not insecure?“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe purposely pulled out the last word, trying to hook his slightly wavering heart.
Joshua narrowed his eyes at her and laughed. “This won’t work on me.“
He pulled her hand from his collar, and buttoned up his shirt properly. “Since you’re awake, tidy yourself
up and leave. Didn’t you agree to leave after the birthday party, never to return?“
With that, he turned and left with an elegant stride of his feet.
Luna stood on the spot, looking at his retreating back and bit her lip.
A long time after he left, she finally roused herself and went into the bathroom, washed herself and
walked downstairs.
In the dining room, the little girl was busy eating her cereal in her pink nightgown.
Seeing her mother, Nellie pointed at the bowl of uneaten cereal in front of her. “Come and have your
breakfast.“
She paused, wiping the emotion off her face and sat down in front of her daughter with a smile. “You
just woke up?“
“I’ve been up for a long time…“
Nellie lowered her head, carefully placing the cereal i n her mouth. “Just now… I hear you arguing with
Daddy, he’s chasing you out…“
Luna stiffened.
A moment later, she smiled. “We weren’t arguing, it’s just a conversation between adults.“
Nellie lowered her head. “Last night, I made Daddy drink till he was drunk, hoping he will tell the truth
when he’s drunk… but it seems like I’ve just made matters worse.“
Seeing her daughter like this, Luna could not help it and smiled. “Not everyone tells the truth when
they’re drunk. Some can fake it.“
“Yeah…“ Nellie lowered her head, her expression filled with self-blame. “I know I made a mistake. He
wouldn’t be so anxious for you to leave the house if I didn’t get him drunk last night, right?”
Luna sighed, “I would still have to leave today, even if you didn’t get him drunk last night.”
She stood up, walked to Nellie, and held her little hand. ” Don’t worry. Even if I move out, we will still

Nellie nodded, her eyes rimmed in red. “Okay…”
Seeing her daughter look so distraught, Luna’s heart ached and she immediately changed the subject.
” You said you got Joshua drunk last night?”
“Yeah! “
The little girl nodded earnestly. “I woke up to drink some water, then Lucas said he was going to
prepare a hangover drink, so I asked him why. He said you were drunk, then I suddenly remembered
that godfather would expose all of his innermost thoughts when he was drunk, so I just…”
Luna frowned, a cold sneer spreading across her features. “Okay, I get it now.”
Nellie was just a kid, but Joshua was a full-grown adult.
If he did not want to get drunk, how could Nellie force him?
He knew she lay in his bed, drunk, and yet, he still got himself drunk recklessly…
At least, this showed that she still occupied his thoughts.
Either way, he was very confident in himself. Or, he was testing his own tolerance toward her.
