Chapter 251
After leaving the coffee shop, Luna went to the fresh market for grocery shopping.
Anne was not good at cooking, so since they lived together, naturally Luna was the one in charge of grocery shopping and cooking.
Holding the groceries in hand, Luna stood at the door. She reached for her keys when she heard Anne’s shy voice drifting in from inside the house.
“Luna is coming home soon, John, don’t…“
“In a way, she’s almost like our cupid, she won’t mind…“
“She’s in a bad mood recently, things have been rough for her, we shouldn’t irritate her.“ Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
“Then we should make it fast, before she comes back Luna frowned.
Bad timing.
Placing the groceries at the entrance, she huffed out a long breath and turned and left.
The sky darkened, and Banyan City was lit up in an array of bright neon lights.
Luna wandered alone on the streets for a long, long time.
Unconsciously, she walked to the entrance of an art gallery.
She took a glance at the display board at the entrance: Renowned Artist Theo Allen’s Art Exhibition: Banyan City Stop.
Theo Allen was an artist she admired when she was still a student.
Once, a childish Luna scribbled in her diary: Life- long bucket list: attend Theo Allen’s art exhibition at least once.
Many years had passed since, now after all that she went through, standing here and looking at his art exhibition again, strangely she felt nothing.
But she still bought a ticket and went in. After, this was once her dream.
There were not many people in the exhibition hall.
Walking along the corridor, she looked at the various pieces of art that accompanied her through her teenage years, memories of herself when she was young and frivolous appearing before her eyes.
She laughed self-deprecatingly.
“Joshua, thank you, I’m very glad to have the chance to attend Theo Allen’s art exhibition.“
“I’m happy I could help you fulfill your wish.“
Sometime later, a familiar woman’s voice pulled Luna’s wandering thoughts back to the present.
She looked in the direction of the voice.
In the distance stood Alice Gibson in a long white dress, she had her arm hooked through Joshua’s, and was slowly heading in her direction.
They looked so intimate, like the perfect pair.
Suddenly, Luna understood why the woman’s voice sounded so familiar to her.
Because that was what she used to sound like.
Not only did this woman look exactly like her before surgery, but even her voice also sounded exactly the same.
Aura’s words this afternoon rang in her ears again. “ So he quietly switched me and your biological sister. I became the second daughter of the Gibson family, while your biological daughter was sent to an orphanage.“
She could not help but frown.
Could Alice be her sister that was sent to the orphanage?
If she was, then everything made sense…
“ ‘Luna?“
When she was still stuck in a daze, Alice and Joshua had already appeared in front of her.
Alice had her arm hooked through Joshua’s, the two of them looked extremely intimate. “What a coincidence, who thought we would see you here.“
Luna recovered from her daze and smiled faintly at her. “Yes, what a coincidence indeed. You like Mr. Allen’s paintings too?“
Alice looked at Luna with a smile on her face. “Yes, I do. Joshua knew I liked Mr. Allen, so the moment I came back, he paid a hefty fee and invited Mr. Allen
over to Banyan City and organized this exhibition.”
Then, she even rubbed her head on Joshua’s chest in a display of affection. “My husband is the best! “
Looking at Alice wearing Luna’s old face and acting all lovey-dovey with Joshua, Luna felt a whirlpool of mixed emotions in her chest.
She did not know whether to be happy, because Joshua finally liked the old Luna Gibson.
Or to be sad, because the Luna Gibson he now liked was nothing but an imposter.
Or maybe, right now, Joshua was just putting on an act.
With this thought, Luna’s lips curled up in a faint smile. “Then I must thank Mrs. Lynch, because of you, we finally have the chance to admire Mr. Allen’s art right here in Banyan City.”
