Joshua turned around when he heard Theo’s voice. As soon as his gaze met Luna’s and Theo’s, his
expression darkened.
Alice, too, caught sight of them. She pursed her lips in indignation and said to Joshua pointedly, “Look
at that. Luna and Theo Allen had just met yesterday, yet they’re already here on a breakfast date. Tsk.“
Joshua could not help but frown at Alice’s tone. After a moment, he strode to where the duo sat and
plopped down in the empty seat right next to Luna. “ Let’s share a table.“
Alice had no choice but to hastily follow, but she noticed that the only available seat left was next to
Theo. She sat down reluctantly.
As soon as she sat down, Alice realized that something did not seem right. The café was not that
crowded at all, and there were unoccupied tables all over the place. They did not need to share a table
with Luna and Theo at all. Besides, even if they had to, Joshua should have sat next to her instead of
with Luna.
Theo picked up his glass of oat milk and took a sip. “ What an interesting combination here at this

Luna could not stand having Joshua mere inches away from her, so she slurped the rest of her oatmeal
until her bowl was empty. “Alright, I’m done. Mr. Lynch, will you excuse me, please?“
“Why are you in such a hurry?“ asked Joshua as he glanced at the time. “There’s still half an hour left.
Besides, even if you were late, at least your boss was with you, so why are you so impatient?“
The waiter served Joshua and Alice’s meals. Joshua proceeded to eat his breakfast slowly and
gracefully.
Luna smirked as she watched him chew. “Mr. Lynch, what you’re saying is that I should sit here and
watch you eat, that only after you’re finished am I allowed to go to work. Is that correct?“
“Sounds about right.“
“You…! “
“Luna, “ Theo interjected with a polite smile. “Mr. Lynch has already given you a free pass. Even if you
were late to work, you wouldn’t get into trouble anyway, so why are you in such a rush?“
Theo propped his chin up in his hands and gave Luna a tender look. “In the future, when you move
here, we won’t have to come out for breakfast anymore. I’m a pretty good cook. Would you like to try
my cooking sometime?“
Luna glanced at Joshua, who was eating with a sunken expression on his face, and replied, “Sure. I’m
not a bad cook myself—we can take turns making breakfast.“
Thud!
As soon as Luna finished her sentence, Joshua slammed his glass forcefully against the table. The
bottom of the glass collided with the marble
tabletop and produced a deafening noise that immediately turned heads.
Alice jumped in shock. She bit her lip and asked, “ What’s wrong, Joshua? Do you not like the food?“
Joshua murmured in response, his face still sullen.
“Shall we go someplace else?“ Alice asked nervously. She did not want to stay and watch Joshua and
Luna sitting together.

Theo watched this scene unfold with a somewhat amused expression, rubbing his chin. “If Mr. Lynch
doesn’t like having outside food, why didn’t you cook for him instead? Unless…you don’t know how to
cook, Mrs. Lynch?“
Alice’s face paled at this. She gave Theo a cold glare. “ What do you mean, I don’t know how to cook? I
just didn’t feel like it!“
Joshua let out a strained smile. All of a sudden, a familiar voice echoed in his head.
‘I love making you breakfast. It makes me feel so accomplished!’
Joshua grimaced at the thought. It turned out his beloved Luna had indeed changed after all these
years.
Luna glanced at Alice. “Mrs. Lynch, don’t you think making your husband breakfast gives you a sense
of accomplishment?“
Upon hearing this, Joshua immediately lifted his head. The morning light streamed through the window
and landed right on Luna’s face, giving her silhouette a halo of warm golden light that tugged at
Joshua’s heartstrings.
Her voice, her face, everything was different from the Luna he had known six years ago, but the way
she said this, the glint in her clear eyes, and the adoring tone…was just the way he remembered!
In this instant, Joshua could not help but wonder if he was seeing things.
