She smiled tenderly at Joshua and passed him the porcelain bowl.
“Beat the eggs.“ Joshua gently pursed his lips and accepted the eggs from her. When he took the eggs over, his fingers touched the back of her hand. Luna immediately retracted her hand. “Mr. Lynch. I think I should put the ingredients on the counter. Why don’t you take them from there?“
Luna smiled. “After all, you have a fiancée. It’s inappropriate that I should have too much body contact with you.“ Joshua furrowed her brows and looked at her. What was going on with this woman today? Body contact? They barely had any? Facing his curious gaze, Luna remained smiling. Then, she continued teaching him the other steps, but she deliberately kept a distance from him.
An hour later, Nellie came downstairs in surprise. “ Wow! Daddy cooked for me! I’ll have more of it!“ Nellie’s innocent smile made Joshua feel amazing. When he took some food for Nellie, he did the same for Luna too. “Have a taste.“ Luna smiled a little. She put the food that Joshua gave her into Nellie’s bowl, then she took some for herself once more. Her actions made Joshua extremely uncomfortable. Nellie could vaguely feel that something was off with Luna too.
The atmosphere at the dining table suddenly turned awkward and strange. Soon after, lunch was over. Nellie kept pestering Luna to accompany her for a nap while Joshua headed into the office. “President! “
Once he alighted from the elevator, he was immediately flagged down by his secretary. “Granny Lynch and Ms. Gibson are here. They are waiting for you in your office. They look like they are not in a good mood. It should be because of the online incident today.“ Joshua furrowed his brows. “The online incident?“ His secretary nodded. “Sir, don’t you know about it? The videos of you and the maid shopping this morning have gone viral online. Everyone said that you cheated on Aura with the maid.“ Joshua frowned and took over the secretary’s phone, only then did he saw the news. “Is that Joshua?“ Hearing the commotion outside, Granny Lynch shouted, “What are you standing outside for?“ Joshua returned the phone back to the secretary and instructed him to make two cups of tea. Then, he entered his office. In his office, Granny was sitting on the master seat while clutching onto her walking stick. She looked at him sternly. Behind her, Aura was standing with reddened eyes. Joshua smiled lightly. ”Granny, what brings you by?” Although Joshua has always been aloof to outsiders, Granny Lynch was his own grandmother . She watched him grow up. He was always polite and respectful to his elderly. ”Don’t think I come here willingly ! ” Granny Lynch harrumphed. ”After such an incident, if I don’ t come looking for you, you will never admit your mistakes to me on your own! What on earth is going on online and the video? Aura has been engaged to you for five whole years! She is a public figure ! Anything that has to do with her will be talked about! You’re her fiance. It’s one thing not helping her, but you boldly went shopping with another woman? Don’t you know how badly this affects Aura?” Joshua took over the cups of tea from his secretary and put them in front of Granny Lynch. ”She is just a maid accompanying me for groceries.” Granny Lynch stomped her walking stick heavily on the ground. ”Since when do you care about such matters? Stop giving me excuses ! Ever since Luna passed away, how long have you not had a young servant in your house? Why did she suddenly
appear? You even went grocery shopping with her ! ” Then, Granny Lynch harrumphed. ”If she is just a maid, you fire her immediately! ”This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - ©.
