Chapter 1853

After putting down the phone, Joshua glanced meaningfully at Luna, who was sound asleep, and curled
his lips into a sneer, one inked with a hint of self-deprecation.



He was so excited over the discovery in Todd’s diary, but what about Luna? At that time, she was
upstairs in her room, talking to her best friend about how even if the vengeance between their two
families ceased to exist, she would still not get back together with him.

What a cruel, heartless response.

Joshua turned to leave.

When he was about to close the door, he wanted to slam it as loud as he could, like any fighting couple
would.

However, after hesitating for a moment, he still closed the door gently behind him.

Luna had not gotten much sleep that night.

Besides…even if he were to slam the door and wake her up, it would not change her decision.

Joshua let out a bitter smile as he descended the stairs.

He could not help laughing at himself for acting like a teenager, even though he was long past that age
and intending to display his anger through childish acts like this.

However, within a few minutes, he managed to repress his anger.



When he emerged into the living room a minute later, there was no longer any disappointment or
loneliness in his eyes.

His tone was as cold and unemotional as always.

“Why are you here so early?” Lucas immediately caught sight of the hickey on Joshua’s neck.

The night before, when he had come to report his investigation findings, Joshua’s neck had been bare.

After working for Joshua for so many years, Kucas could clearly tell what had happened the night before.

He quickly approached Joshua, grinning.

“Sir, I’m sure you haven’t had breakfast yet, have you? “Why don’t I go buy you some breakfast? You
must’ve had a busy night.

Why don’t I buy some for Ma’am a s well? When she wakes up, she can reheat it herself…” Lucas had
thought Joshua would be delighted to hear this, but to his surprise Joshua’s expression darkened at the
mention of Luna.

“Ma’am? What Ma’am are you talking about? “She’s not my wife anymore.” With that, he plopped down
on the sofa, dragging his laptop over to him as he did so.

The laptop screen suddenly lit up, displaying the page he had been working on the night before.

There was a row of words on the page that read, (The vengeance between the Landry and Lynch
families had been an act of sabotage!) Last night, Joshua had been overjoyed to see this, but at this
moment… When he laid eyes on this same row of words, he suddenly felt stupid.

He could imagine that at the same moment he was staring at these words, delighted by the thought that
h e and Luna could get back together soon, Luna was upstairs, talking to Bonnie and telling her that she
would not get back together with Joshua even if their families were no longer enemies.



What a joke.

Lucas could tell that Joshua was in a bad mood.

WHe pursed his lips and did not dare to bring up Luna even further.

He lowered his head and approached Joshua carefully.

“Sir, our spy at Landry Mansion gave us an update of last night.

“After dinner, Jim had fallen asleep and didn’t wake up until this morning, whereas Charlotte was busy
punishing Roanne for the first half of the night and only returned to Jim’s room later.

“This morning, the two of them left the room together, but it was clear that Jim had started treating
Charlotte far better than he used to.” Joshua narrowed his eyes and lifted his head to glance at Lucas.

“Try to get our spy to pay more attention to Roanne.

“As of now, let’s not plan anything further and instead keep an eye out for Charlotte’s next move.” Even
though he was angry at Luna, he still would not give up on helping Jim.

After all, Jim was his Aunt Lucy’s only child.

In the past, Joshua was unwilling to get close to Jim because he knew that Jim was more fond of
Charles and Rosalyn than his side of the family.

He could not accept the fact that as Aunt Lucy’s son, Jim was close to the people who had killed his
mother.

However, Joshua’s discovery the night before made him realize that Charles had not killed Aunt Lucy
after all.



Because of this, his attitude toward Jim had changed.

“Yes, Sir.” Lucas turned and was about to leave after receiving Joshua’s orders.

“Wait.” Sitting on the sofa, Joshua lifted his head to rub his brows as he said, “Didn’t you say you were
going to buy me breakfast?” Lucas froze in his tracks.
