Love Fades In Time
Chapter 5
However, she was rotten to the core.
Luna avoided my gaze and reached out to grab my arm.
“Don’t you want an explanation? Follow me, let’s go home now. I’ll explain it all to you.”
The moment she leaned in, I smelt cologne on her.
I was nauseated, and I almost threw up.
I flung her hand away forcefully.
“Don’t touch me, I’m disgusted by you!”
Luna’s face became pale. Her lips were trembling.
“Declan, what are you talking about?
“I told you that I’ll explain it to you after we go home. What else do you want from…”
Before she finished speaking. Mr. Ford walked out from the research center.
He saw me standing next to Luna, so he was very pleased.
“Declan, you’re a good man. I only dropped you a single hint, and you immediately came back to the country to visit Luna.
“It’s no wonder Luna asked for a two-week long holiday. It turns out that you’ll be spending some time together.
“You haven’t seen each other in so long! What are you standing here for? You should go home.”
Luna tugged my sleeve forcefully as she looked at Mr. Ford’s smiling face. She was hinting at me not to say anything.
Apparently, she still found the situation embarrassing.
In spite of that, she was willing to step all over me and my dignity for her own reputation.
I flung her hand away and ignored her pleading eyes. I said directly, “Mr. Ford, you’ve misunderstood this. I’m not the one who went overseas for three years.”
Mr. Ford was a little puzzled. He frowned as he glanced at me, and then at Luna.
“What do you mean?”
I sneered and pointed at Julian, who was standing nearby.
“Mr. Ford, this is Luna’s ex-boyfriend. He’s the one who has lived with Luna for the past three years, claiming himself as her husband.”
Luna was furious when she saw that I did not try to hide the truth.
She slapped me.
“Shut up!’
Then, she turned to Mr. Ford as she explained herself, “Mr. Ford, please don’t take it the wrong way. There is a misunderstanding between us.
“Julian’s a distant relative. He’s seriously ill, so he’s in the city to treat his illness.”
Julian also started to tear up. He looked at me in confusion and sadness.
“Declan, I know you don’t like me, but you can’t simply ruin Luna’s reputation. She’s your wife.
“As long as you don’t fight because of me, I’ll immediately leave.”
After he spoke, he immediately turned around and left.
However, he had only taken a few steps when he suddenly passed out.
Luna screamed in fear.
“Julian, are you alright? Don’t scare me!
“Declan, if something happens to Julian, I’ll make you pay!”
Mr. Ford was shocked as he quickly took out his phone to call the ambulance.
I walked forward and stepped onto Julian’s arm.
“Stop acting. Don’t you know that you’re a terrible actor? I’m utterly disgusted.”
The next second, I tossed the pink notebook in front of them.
