Luna took the tissue from Joshua and wiped the tears from her face. “I don’t care what they think, “ she sobbed softly.

It was not the first time Natasha and Joseph had misunderstood her.

“I just… “ Luna sniffed and tilted her head up to stop the tears from falling. “I just miss my mother.“

Joshua’s entire body stiffened. He frowned and turned around to look at her. “You miss your mother?“

“Yes.“ Luna nodded. “Whenever I got sick, my mother would always make me chicken soup. She said chicken soup is good for our body, so I’d get well quicker if I drank a lot of it. When I was a kid, I didn’t like drinking chicken soup, and she’d always spend a long time convincing me to drink it. I ended up liking it as I grew up, but I couldn’t drink it anymore.“ With that, she heaved a deep sigh and added, “Drinking the soup that Mrs. Lynch cooked for me just now…reminded me of my past. I couldn’t help crying a little. I’m sorry you had to see that, Mr. Lynch.“

Joshua frowned. He fixated his penetrating gaze on Luna’s face as if trying to figure out if she was honest.

Luna sighed again and placed the tissue box aside, then lifted her head to look at Joshua. “That’s okay. We don’t have to talk about this anymore. Mr. Lynch, you mentioned that you had some work stuff you wanted to go over with me, didn’t you? Let’s talk about it now.“
