Alice rolled her eyes. What was there to feel accomplished about in making breakfast?

Just as Alice was about to retort, however, she caught sight of the way Joshua stared at Luna. Alarm

bells immediately rang in her head. Luna must have said that on purpose!

Alice smiled. “I used to think that way. Although it’s a small action, making breakfast for my family gave

me the greatest sense of fulfillment ever. “ She let out a sigh before she continued wistfully, “

Unfortunately… I discovered that I couldn’t even protect the people I love. I was such a failure. Ever

since then, no matter what I did, I couldn’t feel accomplished or fulfilled anymore.“

Upon hearing these words, Joshua immediately turned his attention back to her. She was right. Joshua

knew that he could not even begin to imagine what Alice had gone through in these six years apart.

Although she had changed and she was no longer the woman he fell in love with, Joshua felt that he

should not have doubted her, much less fooled by another woman’s words even if just for a split

second.

Joshua sighed and glanced at Alice. “It’s all in the past now.“ He silently made up his mind that no

matter what it took, he would help her regain her old self again.

Joshua put down his cutlery and stood up. “Let’s go.“

His tender gaze made Alice feel triumphant. She grabbed his arm and leaned her head on his shoulder.

“Should I go to the Human Resources department first?“

Joshua gave her a gentle smile. “Yes, I’ll take you there.“ With that, the two turned and left.

Before he walked out of the door, however, Joshua turned around and glanced at Luna. “I want to see

you in my office at ten in the morning.“

Theo watched as Joshua and Alice’s figures retreated. He chuckled. “Well, that was a short encounter.“

He glanced at his watch. “We still have 20 minutes to spare.“

Theo lifted his head to stare at Luna. “Why do you seem to care so much about your boss?“

Luna laughed. “Aren’t employees supposed to care about their bosses?“

Theo propped his chin up. “I guess that makes sense.“

Luna did not want to be the topic of discussion, so she lifted her gaze to meet Theo’s and diverted the

conversation. “I’m a huge fan of yours, and I’ve always been on the lookout for your whereabouts. I

know that you don’t usually stay in any place for long, so what made you decide to rent a house in

Banyan City?“

Theo lowered his head and stirred the contents of his bowl with his spoon. “Do you want to know that

badly?“

“It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me.“

“No, I don’t mind.“ Theo let out a strained laugh. “Do you remember the painting that Alice tried to

accuse you of ruining? Well, that painting is called The Girl with the Kite, and it was based on a scene I

stumbled upon a long time ago when I passed by a school. The girl was wearing a white dress and

chasing a kite. She looked so beautiful under the sun that I was mesmerized and painted the scene as

soon as I got home. However, when I tried to track the girl down, I couldn’t find her anymore.“

He continued, “Many years later, this painting became my most well-known artwork. The more attention

it gained, the more I wanted to find this girl and thank her in person. Finally, five years ago, I managed

to find out her name. It was Luna Gibson.“

Clang!

As soon as Theo finished his sentence, the spoon in Luna’s hand dropped and clanked against the

edge of her bowl. She froze for a moment before she hastily picked up the spoon and shot Theo a

nervous glance. “Are you sure that’s her?“ “Yes, I’m positive.“ Theo gave a small yawn and gazed into

Luna’s eyes. “However, when I returned to Banyan City five years ago to track her down, I discovered

that she had been dead for a year.“
