Lucas quickly turned around, smiling. "Yes, Sir. Do you still need me to buy you breakfast?"
Joshua nodded and murmured in affirmation.
"Alright then. I'll go out right now." With that, Lucas turned around, anxious to leave before an angry Joshua could find something to pick on him about.
However, he had just taken two steps when Joshua stopped him once more. "Buy some for her too. Remember to get something that she can reheat by herself later on. I'm guessing she'll be asleep for a little longer."
Lucas froze in his steps when he heard this. "Yes, Sir."
Then, he scampered out of the room.
Meanwhile, upstairs, Luna was awoken by Bonnie's call.
"Luna." Bonnie's voice sounded nasally from the other end of the line. It was clear she had just been crying. "I'm still feeling very sad about all this."
Luna, who had just awoken, let out a yawn a s she sleepily comforted Bonnie. Then, she climbed out of bed.
Joshua was so aggressive last night that her pajamas had been torn to shreds, and her body was covered in green and purple bruises.
If anyone, who had no idea what had transpired in that room, was to walk in on her right this instant, they would think she had been beaten up the night before.
Luna picked up her torn pajamas from the floor, put them on, and slipped into the bathroom.
"By the way, Luna," Bonnie said, frowning." I asked you last night whether you will still get back together with Joshua if the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families ceased to exist; why did you say n o?"
Luna let out another yawn as she turned on the water tap to wash her face. "That’s because there's so much drama that happened between us that I don't foresee being able to be solved in a short time..."
Bonnie rolled her eyes when she heard this. "That's not what I asked you. I asked if you'll still love him and be willing to spend the rest of your life with him if all this didn’t happen. Will you?"
Luna fell silent upon hearing this.
After a long while, she finally let out a sigh and replied, "Of course I will."
"I'm back, Sir." After greeting Joshua, Lucas waved at Luna and asked, "Morning, Ma'am. What are you doing up so early?"
Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this, then glanced coldly in Luna’s direction.
The look in his eyes was so frosty that it was as though he was staring at a stranger.
Luna was a little uncomfortable to see this, but before she could say anything, Lucas summoned her over to the dining table. " Ma'am, I bought you some breakfast. Come and eat!"
Luna was already hungry, and she did not think twice before heading in Lucas' direction.
However, before she could reach the dining table, she heard Joshua's cold voice ring out from behind her, "Ma'am?
"Lucas, have you forgotten that I'm single now?
"There's no such person known as 'Ma'am' i n this household."
