The banquet continued into the wee hours of the morning.
It was not Joshua’s first time in Sea City, but for some unknown reason, they were exceptionally
welcoming and enthusiastic. They lined up to toast him, while he emptied cup after cup…
Finally, he almost fell unconscious, muttering nothing but Luna Gibson’s name non-stop, and was
dragged back to his hotel by Lucas.
“I’ll take care of him. “ Lucas dragged him into the room. Following behind him, Alice said softly, “
You’ve worked hard today. Thank you.“
Setting the drunk Joshua gently down on the bed, Lucas frowned. “Ma’am, why not I take care of Mr.
Lynch instead? In the six years when you weren’t around, I took care of him every time he got drunk.
Don’t worry, and you should get some rest yourself, too.“
He stood up and went into the bathroom to wet a towel, intending to wipe Joshua down.
The moment he turned on the faucet, a hand grabbed his arm.

want to fu1fi11 my duties as a wife. Besides…“
She pouted in the direction of the door. “You heard him. He kept calling for me, using my old name.“
Lucas paused but finally sighed, “Alright then.“
He then walked her through the essential points she needed to remember, then turned and left. The
door slammed shut behind him.
Alice and Joshua were the only two people left in the spacious presidential suite.
Alice locked the door in pure self-satisfaction. She then walked to the bed and stared down at him from
her elevated position. He still muttered Luna Gibson’s name non-stop.
“Joshua Lynch… After all these years, you’re finally mine.“
With that, she laughed in delight, turned, and headed into the bathroom.
That night was the most important night of her life. She wanted to take a nice, rose-petaled bath as a
beautiful memory for herself.
Before entering the bathroom, she took out a pill from her bag and swallowed it. She was not
ovulating that night, but it was a valuable chance not to be missed!
She needed to get pregnant with Joshua’s child. By then, even if her true identity was exposed, for the
sake of their child, Joshua would still forgive her.
She saw with her own two eyes how much he loved children!
At the thought of that, Alice felt even more satisfied with herself.
She hummed happily and walked into the bathroom, laid down in the bathtub, and started to imagine
what her future with Joshua would look like.
The night was still young; she needed to make the proper preparations. She waited for the effects of
the medicine to kick in and waited for all the pieces to fall into place.
Joshua was drunk, anyway. He was in her grasp, no doubt about that.
The more she thought about it, the happier she felt, and the more agitated she grew. What she did not
expect was that outside the bathroom, the man who was in bed a moment ago had sat upright in a

daze.
“Water…“ He reached out blindly but could not find anything resembling a cup or a bottle of water on
the bedside table. With that, he stood up with shaky legs and opened the room door.
He was too drunk. He could not even walk properly, and he leaned against the wall for support with
every step he took.
Somehow, he walked to the room beside his.
The drunk man smacked the door in his drunken stupor. “Open the door. Open the door! “
At that moment, inside the room, Luna was talking to Nigel on the phone, dressed in her pajamas.
The mother and son were engrossed in their conversation when harsh knocks rang out on the door.
Luna recognized Joshua’s voice and chose to ignore him, but the knocks only grew louder, and the
man’s voice sounded more and more anxious and agitated.
”Mommy, you better go take a look. Judging from his voice, he’s drunk.”
