Chapter 650

She grabbed hold of Luna’s hand and said graciously, “How can you take a taxi back when you’re so
exhausted? That would be extremely dangerous.

We’ll send you home instead. Don’t worry; it won’t take us much time.“

Then, she turned around and glanced at Joshua, a smile still hanging on her face. “Isn’t that right,
Joshua?“

Joshua nodded, then opened the passenger side door gracefully. “Get in.“

Luna let out a sigh. As much as she was reluctant to do so, she had no choice but to get in the
passenger’s seat while Joshua and Alice got into the backseat.

Lucas started the car.

The car ride from Ocean View Hotel to Starhill Hotel, where Luna was staying, took almost t o minutes.

These to minutes felt like torture to Luna.

“Joshua, are you busy lately? When are you free? I want to take you to have some local delicacies here
in Sea City.“

“Joshua, we haven’t gone traveling in a long time now. Shall we go out this weekend?“

“Joshua, I’ve made you your favorite chicken soup. Let’s go back to the hotel to drink it, shall we?“

It had been a few months since she last saw Alice, but somehow, Luna felt as though Alice was an
entirely different person now. She was treating Joshua so nicely that it bordered on ludicrous.

Luna frowned and snuck a glance at Alice through the rearview mirror.



It was the same face she recognized, along with the familiar glint in her eyes, but Alice’s personality was
entirely different now. How could she possibly have changed so much in two months?

This was extremely baffling.

Finally, the car pulled up in front of Starhill Hotel. Luna could finally escape from this living hell. She
immediately flung the door open and leaped out of the car as if she was running for her life.

“Joshua…“ Alice said, grinning, as soon as Luna got out of the car.

“That’s enough, Alice.“ Joshua interrupted her even before she could finish her sentence. “Luna’s gone
now. You don’t have to continue pretending anymore.“

Alice, who was about to say something else to please him, immediately froze when she heard this. She
lowered her head and, after a long pause, finally said somewhat dejectedly, “I ‘m not pretending just for
her sake…“

“That’s too much.“ Joshua closed his eyes and continued coldly. “Haven’t I told you this already? I came
to Sea City for a business trip, and you shouldn’t come along.“

The atmosphere in the car fell into a somber silence.

Alice bit down on her lip and glanced at Joshua with a pained expression. “Joshua, you haven’t been
home to see me in a long time now. The children are away at summer camp abroad, and you don’t allow
me to work at Lynch Group either. Now that you’re not at home… I feel so lonely all by myself.

“I heard that you went on a business trip to Sea City, so I thought that since this place is my hometown, I
should probably come along to show you around, and maybe spend some time and relax with you…
that’s why I came here.“



Alice sniffed in a somewhat aggrieved manner. “ Don’t worry. I won’t cause you any trouble. If you don’t
like me here, then I’ll leave immediately…“

Joshua let out a sigh and gazed at Alice. This was the woman he had longed to be with for years now.
He sighed again and finally said, “Since you’re already here, then stay.“

A glimmer of delight flashed through Alice’s eyes. She grabbed hold of Joshua’s hand, elated, and said,
“I ‘ve made you some food at the hotel. Why don’t we go back now to eat?“

Joshua squinted, then nodded his head in agreement. “I made you chicken soup and some other dishes
that you like. Why don’t you have a taste?“ As soon as they returned to the hotel, Alice led Joshua into
the dining room and set the table. She ladled some soup for him and handed him his cutlery.

Joshua drank the entire bowl of soup with a faint smile. “It’s not bad at all.“

A triumphant glint flashed through Alice’s eyes, and she immediately ladled some more soup into his
bowl. “If you like it, you should drink more!”

Joshua took the bowl from her and finished it within minutes. Then another.

As soon as he slurped down the third bowl of soup, Joshua slumped down onto the table with a thud.

Alice finally let her guard down and sneered. Then, she went into Joshua’s room and rummaged around
it.

After he had left, she had scoured both his study and office in search of the divorce agreement papers,
but to no avail.

Therefore, she was certain that he had taken them along with him to Sea City!
