Chapter 3022
"Why are we talking about me again?" Gwen was silent for a moment before finally furrowing her brows and forcing an amused tone. "Weren't we talking about you? Stop trying to change the subject!"
Luna could tell that she was feigning nonchalance. "It's already been six months, Gwen, yet you haven't moved on from Luke, so how can you expect me to do the same about Anne?"
She still dreamed of Anne, both during and after she got out of prison.

Images of Anne keeping her company throughout the night when she could not sleep due to the pain of the surgery.
Anne had been there for her through the darkest days of her life, so how could she forget so soon that she was the culprit of Anne's death?
Gwen sighed when she heard Luna's sorrow and decided not to kid around any longer. She replied in a low voice, "Luna, we all have to grow up and face reality. As cruel as it sounds…we have to look forward.
"You can't waste the rest of your life away, engulfed by your guilt and grief, and likewise, I'm slowly learning to let go of mine as well. We'll both be fine."
Luna felt as though something had stirred within her.
For a split second, she could not help feeling that Gwen's words were even more of a reassurance than any of Joshua's apologies. She let out a sigh and replied, "Okay. I…I need to go make lunch now. I'll bring Joshua his lunch and…apologize to him."
She knew she had overreacted the last few days, but she did not want to apologize to Joshua out of ego.
However, Gwen's words had changed her mind and helped calm her down, and it was about time she reflected on her mistakes.
"Alright. Go, go." Gwen chuckled when she heard this. "I need to go make some food too. Stefan and Kurt might come home for lunch soon."
With that, Luna hung up the phone and headed into the kitchen.
She spent the rest of the morning cooking in the kitchen and finally prepared a delicious feast to bring to Joshua's office.
However, to her surprise, when she arrived at his office, she was welcomed by the sight of Joshua sitting at his desk, having lunch with a beautiful woman.
The woman was slender and attractive and appeared to be a few years younger than Luna.
The two of them were engaged in casual conversation while having their meal, and for the first time in a few days, Luna saw Joshua smile again.
All her excitement dissipated at the sight of this.
As certain as she was that after going through so many ups and downs together, Joshua would never cheat on her, she still could not help feeling uneasy at this.
During the past few days, he refused to talk to her—apart from his apology—much less dine together with her.
She could not believe that after whipping him a hearty feast, he would turn out to be enjoying lunch with another woman!
"Ma'am." All of a sudden, Lucas appeared in front of her, having just come out of the elevator, clutching a stack of documents. He caught sight of Luna standing at the door and quickly greeted her. "Are you here to have lunch with Sir?"
Luna glanced at him, frowning. "No, not him."
She shoved the thermal food container into his hands and said, "Here. I made this for you. Better eat while it's still hot."
With that, she turned and strode away.
