Chatper 456

Chapter 456 Sweet and Smooth “Also, Luna is very capable. She manages L.Moon’s orders, contracts, and more. She’s the one handling everything. If a girl like her isn’t considered outstanding in your eyes, then what kind of girl is considered outstanding?” Josh continued to reason with Scarlett.

“In any case, I won’t agree!” Scarlett’s voice grew louder again.

After a sigh, he said, “This is prejudice. You upset me.”

With that, he turned and went upstairs, leaving Scarlett staring at him in disbelief.

A moment later, she pressed on her chest and looked at Kelly. “Oh my, he’s upset? I’m the one who should be upset! He clearly knew we were in conflict with L.Moon, yet he’s dating Luna. He’s trying to ruin this family.”

Kelly patted her chest and said, “Luna and Josh haven’t even met many times. Even if he likes her, she may not necessarily like him back. Dating him seems deliberate.”

Of course, Scarlett knew that Luna had ulterior motives, but she had already captivated Josh.

“When is Dad coming back?” Kelly suddenly asked.

“His overseas project still has some time to go. I can handle this matter,” Scarlett said, wiping away her tears.

Kelly grunted and didn’t press the matter further.

In the upstairs study, Josh brought drinks for Abigail and Luna, then sat down at the computer desk. “How about watching a movie? I can order some late-night snacks,” he suggested.

Eric looked at Abigail and said, “How about I take Abigail out for a walk first? You two need to talk, right?”

“What is there to talk about? His mother doesn’t like me, but it’s not like he doesn’t like me. I’m not that petty,” Luna said in a carefree manner. After all, she had achieved her goal for the day. Scarlett was in tears, and Kelly was surely seething with anger.

As Abigail looked around Josh’s study, she said, “You’ve decorated this study nicely.”

The study was filled with wooden carvings he had made, but there were also many modern electronic devices, giving it a kind of classical cyberpunk vibe.

Suddenly, Luna walked up to Josh and casually sat on his lap. “I’ll be leaving with Abigail in a little while. Don’t argue with your mother. I’m afraid your father will beat you up when he’s back.”

Her actions were making Josh itch with desire. However, his more than two decades of gentlemanly upbringing kept him composed as he replied, “Okay, but my father won’t beat me up. I’m almost 30”

She placed her finger on his face and slid it down gently I’m just worried about you. Why are you always 50 serious?”

This scene was making Abigail tee! increasingly uncomfortable.

Luna had the potential to be a seductress, and Josh, on the other hand, was the quintessential gentleman They were just like Romeo and Juliet t 12 As Eric watched them, he was filled with envy. Is this what love is like? It seems even sweeter and more exciting than a romance film!

“We’ll go for a walk outside. Call me when you want to leave, Luna.” Abigail couldn’t stand it anymore; she wanted to escape.

“Okay!” Luna deliberately spoke in a cutesy voice.

Once Abigail and Eric left, Josh couldn’t resist reaching out and embracing Luna around her waist.

His voice was slightly husky as he said, “If you keep this up, you won’t be able to leave tonight.”

Luna moved closer to him, her eyes sparkling. “Abigail will get angry.”

He nuzzled her nose. It was evident that he was falling for her. “What about a kiss, then?”

With a smile, she whispered, “We’ve just started dating. Isn’t kissing too fast?”

“What about you and Howard? You slept with him shortly after meeting him,” he said as he looked into her eyes.

“If you’re going to compare it like that, we might as well fast-forward to breaking up.” Her tone turned cold.

Hearing that, he pressed his lips together and, in the end, restrained his desires. “No kissing, then.”

“Shall we watch a movie and chat?” Luna actually didn’t like Josh very much. Everything she had done was out of revenge.

She had some feelings for Howard, but toward Josh, it was only resentment.

With that, Josh got up and turned on the projector.

Meanwhile, Abigail and Eric strolled through the neighborhood, with one walking ahead and the other following closely behind.

Eric’s mind was filled with scenes of Luna getting close to Josh, and he couldn’t help but get excited. Josh and Luna look really good together. I didn’t expect their relationship to progress so quickly.”

“It’s indeed quite quick,” Abigail replied. She didn’t particularly like discussing Josh and Luna’s affairs.

Noticing her lack of interest in the topic, Eric said with a smile, “I wish I could be like Josh, too. He really likes Luna. Their relationship makes me envious.“

“At the beginning, it’s certainly sweet and smooth, but real compatibility can only be seen after a long time,” she said gently.

However, he was well aware of the suffering underlying her words.

Abigail, who had suffered setbacks in both love and marriage, knew best that momentary happiness didn’t mean much. Only those who went through hardships together and still stayed together were truly suitable for each other.
