Chapter 252

With that, she pointed at a painting behind her. “ Mrs. Lynch, do you know the name of this painting?“

Alice rolled her eyes.

What was this woman doing, was she testing her?

She replied carelessly, “This painting is named ‘The Act’, it’s used to critique people who intentionally put
on an act in front of others to boast.“

Luna smiled. “This painting is perfect for you.“

Alice paused then realized Luna was using the painting to make fun of her!

She was accusing her of putting on an act!

Anger boiled in her chest. She tugged at Joshua’s arm. “Honey, she’s saying we don’t love each other.
Kiss me and prove it to her! “

Joshua stiffened slightly, his arm still in her grip.

Running into Luna in this situation already made him feel awkward, and now Alice wanted him to act all
lovey-dovey in front of her?

And… kiss her?

He frowned. “Stop making a scene.“

Since Alice returned to his side, he did consider kissing her.

But every time he almost did, somehow, his body instinctively rejected her.

He even consulted a psychiatrist because of this.



The psychiatrist said it could be because they had been apart for too long. Even though they loved each
other mentally, but physically they were strangers.

He could not even kiss her in private, how could he do it here in public?

“I’m not making a scene.“

Alice was determined to take this opportunity to force Joshua to kiss her in front of Luna. “You don’t love
me anymore, do you?“

He frowned and looked at her helplessly. “I don’t have to prove my love for you in front of outsiders, do
I?“

The word ‘outsiders’ made Luna’s heart feel as if it had been squeezed.

But his explanation was not enough to satisfy Alice. She bit her lip. “I want you to! “

Then, she grasped the opportunity, stood up on her tiptoes and circled her arms around his neck, pouting
her lips in his direction…

Standing opposite the two of them, Luna looked on, her heart felt as if it was being torn into pieces by an
invisible hand.

Alice looked like her in the past.

In the eyes of the public, he was a kind and loving husband, fulfilling his wife’s every whim.

But in reality, he did not even want to give her a kiss.

Looking as their lips inched closer and closer, Luna knew she should look away.

But she could not help it, she stood there doggedly, her eyes focused on them.



The ache in her heart intensified, growing more and more uncomfortable, but still, she couldn’t move her
eyes away from them.

Just when their lips almost touched, Joshua’s phone rang.

The moment the ringtone was heard, Joshua instinctively pushed Alice away and turned to answer the
phone.

Looking at his turned back, Alice bit her lip furiously. So close, so, so close!

She was so close to kissing his lips!

“It looks like your act has failed, Mrs. Lynch.“

Luna hooked her lips up in a smile, threw her a cold glance, and turned to leave. “You should discuss it
with Mr. Lynch beforehand before acting out a skit in front of me.“

Her taunts and ridicule made Alice bite her lip harshly.

Raising her head, she looked at the CCTV camera above her, an evil glint shining in her eyes.

The next second, when Luna walked into the CCTV camera’s blind spot, Alice rushed forward Caught off
guard, Luna was knocked into the wall.

Right when she was about to lose balance and fall, Luna instinctively placed her hand on the wall to
steady herself.

Theo Allen’s most famous painting, ‘The Kite and The Girl’ hung on the wall. ”Shrick — — ”

Luna’s fingers pierced a hole in Theo Allen’s world- renowned masterpiece.
