Chapter 17
Luna was unfazed at the man’s cold gaze as she nodded lightly. “Understood.”
She then headed upstairs, but she paused just as she reached the top. “Ms. Gibson came to the house early this morning and
smashed the photos. Ms. Nellie was unhappy all day. If you can’t handle your relationship with Ms. Gibson, don’t just fulfill
Nellie’s request, then there won’t be a situation where both women are unhappy.”
Joshua looked at her back that faced him, his voice colder than the surrounding air as he uttered, “Are you trying to teach me
how I should handle my affairs?”
“It’s just a suggestion.” Luna’s voice was calm and emotionless. “After all, if Ms. Nellie is always unhappy, it will only increase my
workload.”
With that, she raised her feet and headed upstairs, leaving behind nothing but an indifferent back view.
The man sat on the sofa and frowned at her retreating form.

Early the next morning, Aura received a call from Lucas before she even woke up.
“Ms. Gibson, I’m downstairs. Mr. Lynch told me to come and pick you up. He wants to see you.”
“Joshua wants to see me!?” Aura jumped out of her bed in excitement. It was the first time throughout the years Joshua
approached her early in the morning.
“One minute. I’ll be downstairs after I put on some makeup!”
An hour later, Aura, with a delicate layer of makeup on her face and a long dress wrapped around her frame, stepped out and
opened the car door elegantly.
In the back seat of the car, Joshua, dressed in black, sat with closed eyes as he rested. When she got into the car, she was so
surprised that her voice trembled, “Joshua, I didn’t expect you to come personally...”
The man interrupted her calmly, “Lucas, go to the restaurant.”
At the restaurant...
Joshua lowered his head as he, eating his breakfast, began lightly, “In half a month, I plan to take you to grandma’s birthday
party. After all, you’ve lived as my fiancée for six years. It’s time for a change of your status.”
Aura’s eyes lit up.
Sure enough, Joshua came to her early in the morning because he had good news to announce!
She was inwardly delighted, yet she maintained a shy disposition. “I don’t mind... I do.”
Joshua merely looked up at her indifferently. “I’ll announce on the day of my grandma’s birthday party that our engagement is
over.”
Clang!
Aura’s fork suddenly fell on the table as she gawked at Joshua in shock. “Joshua, what do you mean?”
