"Why? Not liking what I said?" teased Thomas, squinting at the irked Luna as she tried to defend
Joshua.
"So you know it's the time to defend your husband now?"
Luna's eyebrows knitted tightly together.
Was it wrong for her to defend her spouse when Thomas bluntly said Joshua did not deserve to have
family, all while she was standing nearby?
"What's wrong with me defending him when you spoke so poorly of him?"
She narrowed her eyes as she shot Thomas a glare.
"Thomas, I knew you had ulterior motives for getting close to me and Joshua.I don't care what that's
about, but neither I nor Joshua knew you before we met you.Joshua had told you just minutes ago that
he only found out that you're his cousin last night.
"We only met each other yesterday.Neither of us did anything that harmed you or caused you
trouble.You don't have to be so hostile with us."
Thomas sneered at this.He crossed his legs elegantly while he leaned into the couch.His eyes were
focused on Luna as if he had heard the funniest joke in this world.
"I thought I hid it so well.So, even you can tell that I have bad intentions toward you both?"
He even looked at Luna with a regretful expression.
"Too bad.I used to be the best actor.How did my acting skills turn sloppy?"
While his words seemed to be self-deprecating, he was, in fact, mocking Luna.What he meant was that
Luna, an utter fool, could not tell his hostility toward her and Joshua.Luna bit her lip and balled her fists
tightly.
If Joshua did not say Thomas was his cousin and related to him...she would have ordered the servants
to throw Thomas out of the house already! She did not care if she was threatened to sign the
contract.She did not care if she had to work together with Thomas.
Was she not allowed to fight back when Thomas came to her house early in the morning and disgusted
both her and Joshua? However, Luna did not dare to do the extreme after what Joshua said.No one
else knew it, but she understood Joshua.She knew he desired to have more family members,
especially after Granny Lynch passed away.
Ever since he was a baby, Granny Lynch was the only one who raised him, after her passing, the only
blood relatives he had was his father, who always wanted to rob the Lynch family's wealth, and his half-
brother Michael, who was currently kept in prison.He had just found out that Thomas was a relative; his
cousin, the son of his mother's twin sister.Even as he talked about how they were related, she detected
fondness in his gaze.
Luna could tell that Joshua cared about Thomas.
However...It was obvious that Thomas disliked them and did not want to acknowledge him as a relative.
Luna narrowed her eyes.
"You've gone too far, Thomas Howard!"
"I've gone too far, you say?'' Thomas sneered as he leaned back on the couch, first meeting Luna's
angry eyes, then Joshua's calm gaze.
Finally, his eyes rested on Yannie, who was looking nervously at them while grabbing Mrs.Flores'
hand.He pointed at Yannie.
"You.Come here and tell me something."
