Chapter 1893 Joshua’s hand, which was holding his fork, froze in mid-air when he heard this.
A split second later, he lifted his head to smile at Luna. “Okay.”
It had been a long time since he last tasted Luna’s cooking.
It had been a long time…since he felt at home.
More than a year had passed since Luna was kidnapped by Hunter and brought to Merchant City.
Because of this, Joshua had also been living in Merchant City for more than a year.
Merchant City was thousands of kilometers away from Banyan City, and their food cultures
and beliefs were as different as night and day.
Truth be told, Joshua had been finding it difficult to adjust to this new lifestyle change, but he was willing to tolerate this for Luna.
With Luna offering to cook for him, he had no reason not to accept.
Luna pursed her lips and stared at Joshua, who was still eating, for a long time before finally saying, “Actually… what you saw of me and Bonnie’s conversation last night…
“That wasn’t what I meant at all.”
Initially, Luna had been unwilling to forgive Joshua over what he did to Gwen, but at this moment, after seeing the amount of effort he had put in to help her, she could not evade the stir of emotions that welled within her.
Therefore, she decided to explain the misunderstanding that had led to their fight.
“I was too tired last night, and my mind was groggy when I was texting Bonnie…” Luna rubbed her brows in frustration as she continued, “I remembered that Bonnie had asked me whether I’d be together with you if the vengeance between our families continued to exist, so I gave her a no for an answer.
“However, it turns out that this wasn’t what she had been asking me at all. She told me just now that what she asked was whether I’d choose to be together with you if the rivalry between our families ceased to exist…”
Luna lifted her head and gazed earnestly at Joshua’s face. “I had misread the message last night…and when I woke up and went downstairs for some water, I had forgotten about this conversation entirely.”
If Theo had not brought this up at the dining table, Luna would still be unaware of what she had said to Bonnie in her exhausted state last night.
Joshua’s entire body stiffened when he heard this.”
He lifted his head to stare at her, his penetrating gaze etched with confusion and helplessness. “You…”
Luna could not help feeling even more embarrassed at this. In that instant, she wished that a hole would open up in the ground and swallow her whole. “I know it’s humiliating…but that was the truth.
“I… would always commit stupid mistakes like this whenever I’m exhausted…”
Joshua furrowed his brows and suddenly recalled what had happened in the past.
Luna had also committed a similar mistake in the past when they had just gotten married.
There was one time when she had asked him if he loved her at night before bed.
After telling her the answer she longed to hear more than anything, Luna had awoken the next day without any recollection of this happening at all.
Not only that, but she had even thought everything that happened was just a dream and had even written this down in her diary, lamenting that dreams were always better than reality.
As soon as he recalled this amusing memory, Joshua shot Luna a meaningful glance and said,” You…”
Luna lowered her head, not daring to meet Joshua’s gaze. “I know it’s my fault, and I apologize for that.”
Joshua narrowed his eyes and glanced at her once more. “Since you say that…you had misread Bonnie’s question last night, what’s your real answer?”
He fixed his deep, penetrating stare on Luna’s tiny face. “I want to know your true answer.”
For a split second, Luna was confused by this. “What?”
“I’m asking you—” Joshua stared at her intently and enunciated his words carefully. “Will you stay with me if the rivalry between our families doesn’t exist?”
