Chapter 1855
The entire room fell silent.
Luna and Lucas both frowned at the same time.
Lucas glanced first at the hickey on Joshua’s neck, then at Luna, his gaze full of puzzlement, as though questioning Luna about what had happened between them.
Luna was a little perplexed by this.
What was wrong with this man?
Joshua had pounced on her like a wild animal when she came downstairs for water last night, claiming that he was crazy for her and kept her up until 4 a.m.
Just a few hours had passed since their last encounter, and all of a sudden, with Lucas here with breakfast, Joshua claimed he was single and that no ‘Ma’am’ existed.
Joshua grew even more frustrated when he saw Luna and Lucas staring at each other, motionless. He stood up, picked up his tray of food with him, and snapped, “I’m going back to my room.”
With that, he strode up the stairs.
Luna and Lucas watched him leave, both frowning.
As soon as the door closed behind Joshua, Lucas gulped and shot Luna a helpless glance. “Ma’am, what happened between the two of you…”
Luna was also angered by Joshua’s childish behavior.
If Joshua had not tormented her the entire night, she would not be as hungry as she was at that very second.
She did not even get to ask him what was going on with him last night before she was carried away and got subjected to an exhausting night without even uttering a word of protest.
However, now that she had awoken, this man had the audacity to lose his temper to both her and Lucas?
Seeing that Luna was silent, Lucas sighed and said, “The man who killed Heather-the same man that Sir had asked Mr. Luke to track down-was murdered last night, so maybe he’s… in a bad mood because of this.
“Please don’t think this is your fault at all.”
With that, he pointed at the food he had prepared for Luna on the table and added, “Come eat; I’ve specially bought you some food I know you’ll like…”
Glancing at the food on the table, Luna suddenly lost her appetite, despite being as ravenous as before.
She curled her lips into a smirk and replied, “Never mind.
“You bought this breakfast for your ‘Ma’am,’ but I’m not her.”
With that, she turned around and stomped out the door.
When she reached the front door, Luna paused and added, “Please tell your master that I still owe him four times, and as soon as I repay my debt, I’ll move out of this house.”
She curled her lips into a sneer. “Even though I was kicked out of the Landry family, I still have other places that’ll take me in. I don’t need to stay with a man who loses his temper for no reason and treats m e like an object.”
With that, she left, slamming the door behind her.
Lucas stood alone in the dining room, staring at the closed door, and suddenly felt his heart tremble
“What’s with all the ruckus?” Theo yawned as he emerged from his room, probably awoken by Luna slamming the front door.
The only person standing there was a confused-looking Lucas. Theo furrowed his brows when he saw Lucas. “Why are you here so early?”
Lucas let out an awkward chuckle. “I’m here to serve Mr. Lynch breakfast..”
As soon as he said this, Theo’s face lit up when he caught sight of the food laid on the table behind Lucas.
He stormed toward the table, exclaiming, “Is this for me?”
Lucas fell silent for a moment and finally replied, “Well…it’ll probably be fine for you to eat it.”
This was the portion that Joshua had asked him to buy for Luna, but since she had left, he guessed that she would find her own breakfast elsewhere.
Instead of letting the food go to waste, he might as well allow Theo to eat it.
“Thank you.” Theo plopped down in the chair without hesitation and started wolfing down the food. Meanwhile, upstairs, Joshua realized something was different as soon as he returned to his room.
