The atmosphere around them turned cold, too.
Alice lifted her eyes and looked at Joshua seriously. “ Joshua, I did all this because of you.“
“Because of me?“
Joshua sneered. “You deliberately pushed Luna and ruined Master Allen’s work because of me? Because of me, you found a PR company to put the video of that day on the internet? Also, because of me, you went to my office and knelt in front of Luna, giving a false impression that Luna seduced me and we had an affair?“
Joshua took a sip of coffee and placed the cup down heavily. The sound of the ceramic mug that clanked against the marble table reverberated in Alice’s heart.
She sniffled and tried her best to force out some tears. “Joshua, I know what I did wasn’t right, but don’t all women of upper-class society do that to protect the integrity and harmony of their family?“
Joshua felt suffocated.
The Luna Gibson six years ago was never like that!
Alice, on the other hand, kept emphasizing the greatness of the family’s status when educating the children.
Once she made a mistake, she spouted things like women of the upper class.
Joshua tugged on his sleeve in annoyance. “It looks like you truly have changed during these six years.“ He never liked a woman who constantly emphasized their status.
Alice bit her lip.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
She reached out and grabbed Joshua’s hand. “Joshua, please forgive me. I genuinely don’t have a sense of security.“
Joshua was so infuriated that he chuckled.
“I waited for you for six years, and I’ve looked for you for six years. I thought you’d understand how I feel, yet now you’re telling me that you have no sense of security?“
Joshua glared at her. “Will you only feel that sense of security when I take you to the office and never let you leave, twenty-four-seven?“
At that moment, Joshua’s phone rang.
He did not even look at it and immediately rejected the call.
“Perhaps it’s my problem.“ He rubbed the center of his brows. “We need time apart to cool down.“
Alice was stunned. “Cool down?“
“Mmh.“ Joshua leaned back on the sofa rather miserably. “Perhaps I thought too highly of you. I thought that you were different from other manipulative women. We’ve both changed so much in the past six years, and we have to rethink our relationship, be it as husband and wife, or ex- husband and ex-wife. From today onward, you take the master bedroom. I ’11 sleep in the guest room.“
Then, Joshua stood up tiredly. “I still have work to do. I’ll make a move.“
Alice sat on the same spot as her nails dug into her palms.
“Joshua.“ She looked at him. “Are we truly…splitting up?“
“Mmh.“ “How long?“
“We’ll see about it.“ Hearing her aggrieved voice, Joshua could not bear to do that to her, but at the thought of all the things that she had done…
“I’ll investigate who posted the video today.“
Upon his mention of the video, Alice was immediately spirited. “Luna posted it! Didn’t you say yesterday that she has the video? If I didn’t take it down in time, she would post the video.“
Alice said with more and more vigor, “After I took down the news last night, she posted the video around ten at night. The anonymous account must be hers! You don’t have to investigate it!“
Joshua looked at her coldly. “It’s not her.“
“How is it not her? “ Alice bit her lip. “Only she and Theo knew about the video.“
“Then, it might be Theo, but it’s definitely not her.“
Joshua sighed. He straightened his tie with his large hands. “I’ll continue investigating it.“
Then, he got up and strode out of the cafe.
Alice gnawed on her lip. “You trust Luna that much?”
Joshua turned around and smiled. “It’s not that I trust her. I know what she was up to last night at ten.”
Then, he turned and left.
Alice remained in her seat, her face blushing and turning pale at the same time.
She knew clearly what he meant!
The night before, the two of them were…
