Luna and Theo exchanged glances as soon as they heard the voice coming from the other side of the door. They were more than familiar with it.
"Yes, it is!" Nathan leaped out of his seat excitedly, strode over, and flung open the door.
A young couple stood outside the door. The man was tall and slender with an aura of sophistication about him, while the woman looked serene and charming.
"You must be Mr. Lynch!" Nathan immediately extended his hand out to shake Joshua's. "Please come in!"
Joshua offered a small smile and eyed Luna, who sat inside the booth. She wore a formal and elegant skirt, and she even put on makeup. She looked much more stunning than how she usually looked at work.
It was clear that Luna had put in the effort to look good for Theo's parents.
Joshua narrowed his eyes and pulled Alice into the room impassively.
Alice strolled in with a smile on her face, but as soon a s she caught sight of Theo and Luna in the corner, she froze. After a moment, however, she plastered a smile on her face and greeted, "Hello, Mr. Allen. Nice to meet you. I'm Joshua's wife."
She then glanced at the two people sitting in the corner. "And these two are..."
Celeste immediately stood up and pulled Theo and Luna up with her. "Mr. and Mrs. Lynch, I'm Nathan's wife. This is my son and our future daughter-in-law!"
Everyone in the room fell silent as soon as they heard that.
However, Luna had declared their first meeting as eight years ago. That was when Luna and Joshua got married!
"Eight years?” Joshua sat down and cast Luna a stern look. "Alice, didn’t you and I get married eight years ago?"
Alice immediately stiffened. She knew Luna had said that on purpose to trip her up and force her to invent another lie!
Alice smiled, squinting her eyes into slits. "I think Luna is mistaken. Eight years ago? We didn't even know each other at that time."
"Maybe she knew of you, but you didn't," Joshua interjected before Alice could finish her sentence. He fixed his gaze on Luna and asked, "How did you get to know Alice eight years ago?"
