Chapter 1856 Joshua’s bedsheets had been changed out for new ones. Instead of his previous black and gray sheets, they were replaced by warm tones.
Luna had placed her toiletries and makeup products on the bathroom sink.
Joshua furrowed his brows and immediately glanced at the closet.
His guess was right. A few of Luna’s clothes were draped on the chair in the walk-in closet, and her suitcase was placed in a corner.
Joshua had just gone downstairs for a few hours, but his room looked entirely different than how he left it.
A surge of warmth spread through Joshua’s heart.
The fact that Luna had changed out the bedsheets to her favorite colors and even placed her toiletries and clothes in his room…
This meant that she wanted to continue living with him.
Joshua narrowed his eyes at this thought.
What was going through Luna’s mind when she switched out the bed sheets and moved her items into his room?
She was probably happy and hopeful, was she not?
However, when she went downstairs, the first thing she overheard was…him telling Lucas that he was single and there was no ‘Ma’am’ in this household.

All of a sudden, Joshua recalled Luna’s pale face when she heard his words.
He furrowed his brows and immediately stormed downstairs.
As he descended the stairs, he heard the sound of cutlery coming from the dining room.
A hint of guilt and relief spread through his heart, guilt because of his actions, and relief knowing that Luna was still downstairs, eating the food Lucas had prepared for her.
This meant that he could still salvage the situation.
However, when he got downstairs, Joshua realized that the person sitting at the dining table was not Luna, but Theo.
When he saw Joshua coming downstairs, Lucas explained sheepishly, “Ma’am has gone out, and I guessed that she would probably have her breakfast out, so I didn’t want all this food to go to waste…”
Joshua shot him a cold glare and immediately strode toward the foyer. “When did she leave?”
Lucas furrowed his brows. “Not too long ago.”
Suddenly, he recalled something and repeated what Luna had told him to Joshua.
The entire room fell silent after he finished.
Joshua’s hand, which was clutching his jacket, froze when he heard Lucas’ words. “Did she really say that?
Lucas murmured in affirmation and lowered his head, not daring to say another word.
Joshua let out a bitter chuckle, and a self-deprecating smile appeared on his lips. “She thinks I lose my
temper at her for no reason and treats her like an object?”.
He had to admit that he had indeed lost his temper at Luna, but what did she mean by treating her as an object?
She had even brought up her previous promise of sleeping with him five times in exchange for his help and even said she would leave after fulfilling her remaining four favors.
Was he the one who had treated her as an object, or was she the one who thought this about herself?
However, since she claimed she would leave after fulfilling her remaining four times…then he would refuse to touch her ever again.
As long as she still owed him, she would not be able to leave!
Seeing that Joshua had frozen in place, Lucas reminded him carefully, “Sir, Ma’am probably hasn’t gone far, so if you were to chase after her now…”
Before he could finish, Joshua snickered and tossed his jacket at Lucas. “Who told you I was going to chase after her?”
Luna hailed a taxi and found a nearby restaurant to have her breakfast.
The restaurant was packed with people, and she had just sat down at a table and ordered a drink when all of a sudden, her phone rang.
It was a call from Charlotte. “Luna, are you free today?
“Can you come over to Landry Mansion? Jim wants to sign a contract with you.”
Luna frowned when she heard this. “What contract?” “A contract that will prohibit you from interfering in any of Landry Group’s affairs from now on.”
