Luna furrowed her brow in confusion." What're you talking about, Yannie?"
Why was she saying this all of a sudden?
Yannie continued to sob, "I... Haven't you seen the news yet, Ms. Luna? Someone took a photo of me and Mr. Lynch and put it on the news!
"You have to believe me, Ms. Luna; there's nothing going on between me and Mr.
Lynch! I... You know full well how I'm doing now, and I haven’t even moved on from the guilt of losing my child yet...so how could I possibly have tried to sleep with another man?
"Besides, you've always treated me kindly, and Mr. Lynch isn't only your husband but the father of your four children, too... I'd never, ever try to sleep with him! You have to believe me!"
Tears slid down Yannie's cheeks as she said, "Ms. Luna, I never knew something like this would happen! I—I don't know how else to explain it to you... Please... Please just trust me, and trust Mr. Lynch, okay?"
Luna furrowed her brow upon hearing this.
No matter how clueless she had been initially, she eventually understood what was going on. She let out an exhale and tried to calm her nerves. "Don't be scared, Yannie. I still have no idea what's happening yet, so give me a few minutes."
With that, she lifted her head to glance at Bonnie.
At this signal, Bonnie quickly placed her tablet, which was already displaying a page of the news Yannie was talking about, into Luna’s hand.
They had been friends for so long that
Luna did not mind Bonnie overhearing her conversation and instead placed the call on speaker mode.
Therefore, as she spoke to Yannie, Bonnie quickly found the news article that was referenced.
She bit her lip and gripped her phone tightly.
She remembered this day; it was when Gwen and Kate had brought her shopping.
Initially, she refused to go because of her dislike of Kate, but Joshua managed to convince her to go.
However, she never thought that...Joshua would invite Yannie to the house almost immediately after she left.
She believed that there was nothing suspicious going on between Joshua and Yannie, but as the news article explicitly stated...
Joshua would never send her off himself if Yannie did not matter to him.
Luna let out an exhale and said in a low voice, "Yannie, I know you're scared and nervous, and you don't know how to explain this to me, do you?"
