Chatper 455

Chapter 455 Love at First Sight Luna was taken aback when she saw that Scarlett had started crying, and Abigail was equally surprised.

As Josh patted Luna’s hand, he said gently, “You and Abigail go upstairs with Eric for now. I’ll come up later.”

“Okay.” Luna was stunned.

Only after the three of them entered Josh’s study did she slowly snap out of her daze. “His mother is such a child. She starts crying when she can’t win an argument she muttered to Eric.

Eric, who sat in a chair, said with a smile, “His mother is quite adorable. Even after having two children, she still has a very innocent personality.”

Before this, Abigail had noticed that Scarlett always pretended to be very tough.

Luna was astonished. “No wonder I was able to make her cry. And she said she would tell her husband. Will Josh be beaten up by his father?”

“It’s hard to say. His father really likes Madam Harper,” Eric replied.

“It’s quite evident,” Luna remarked.

Looking at Luna, Abigail hesitated several times and ultimately chose not to speak for the time being.

Downstairs, Josh spent some time consoling Scarlett, but she was still crying. “You rascal! I’ve spent so much effort taking care of my skin, and you’ve given me so many wrinkles all at once!” She sobbed.

Kelly, sitting by her side, also looked angry. “You’re just not satisfied until you make Mom angry. Even though our relationship with them is so bad, you deliberately chose to like Luna.”

“Isn’t Uncle Vincent’s relationship with Sean even worse? You still plotted behind his back, right?” Josh handed a tissue to Scarlett.

At once, Scarlett slapped his arm. “How dare you blame your sister?”

He fell silent.

With teary eyes, Kelly turned to look at Josh. “Josh, now that you’re dating Luna, you seem to think that everything I do is wrong, don’t you?”

“You made Old Mrs. Graham come to Capitalis to harass Abigail, smashing her tablet. It was before Luna and I started dating, wasn’t it?” Josh prompted. “I didn’t say anything about your way of pursuing Sean, but you clearly knew about the feud between Old Mrs. Graham and Abigail, and yet you let Old Mrs. Graham come and harass her?”

Kelly looked at him, tears welling up in her eyes. “Did you find any evidence that I asked Old Mrs. Graham to harass her?”

“I won’t make baseless accusations without evidence, he replied.

“Alright alright. Stop arguing! Scarlett shouted.

“Why can’t we speak: Can’t we say anything when we’ve done something wrong? I’ve always been protective of her, but seems like she doesn’t have much of a sense of belonging to our family. Isn’t it 11:

1.2 because we’re too polite to her?” At this point, Josh didn’t want to dismiss Kelly’s mistakes lightly.

“So, you mean you’re scolding me to make me integrate better into this family?” Kelly’s voice trembled.

“Do you want us to be polite to you all the time? If you make a mistake, you should admit it,” he retorted.

Tears rolled down her cheeks, and she choked out, “I’m sorry. I won’t contact Old Mrs. Graham anymore.” After saying that, she rushed upstairs.

A crying Scarlett couldn’t care less about herself and turned to go after Kelly. “Kelly!”

Yet, Kelly didn’t respond and ran quickly.

Scarlett couldn’t catch up with her, so she turned back and gave Josh’s arm a few slaps. “Why must you make her admit her mistakes? She just got back!”

“It’s only right to admit your mistakes when you’re wrong. There are plenty of ways for her to make Sean. like her instead of holding grudges against Abigail. Abigail and Sean have no relationship anymore. What’s the use of her resenting Abigail? Is it just because Sean still likes Abigail that she goes after her?” Josh, however, was unyielding.

“It’s normal for young girls to be a bit jealous, right? You should protect her instead of Abigail!” Scarlett’s attitude became forceful again.

“I can’t do that. Mom, this is not how you and Dad taught me. I’m going upstairs.”

“You’re not going upstairs! Break up with Luna. Do you hear me?” She held onto him tightly. “She and Abigail are deceiving you.

You know we’re dealing with 1..Moon and yet, you’re with her?”

“I told you not to harm L.Moon. Josh stood there, enunciating each word clearly as he announced, “I love Luna, and it was love at first sight. It was not her who chose me; it was me!”

Scarlett was furious and was nearly on the verge of tears again. “Do you have any integrity at all?”

“None,” he replied immediately.

With red eyes, Scarlett choked out, “You don’t even listen to me anymore.”

“Mom, you’ve changed. You never used to guilt-trip me like this.” He sounded a bit disappointed.

Before she could respond, he continued, “You always told me that my love life is my own choice, and no matter which girl I liked, you would support me.”

“That’s because you’re exceptional. I knew you’d find an outstanding girl, but I never expected you to choose Luna. Her bestie, Abigail, is bullying your sister. Do you know that?” She thought he was being utterly stubborn.

Calmly, Josh replied, “She’s not bullying Kelly. You favor Kelly, so you only believe what she says.”
