Natasha’s words were filled with regret. “It’s a pity. Lulu was such a great kid…”“Mom.” Aura frowned hard next to her. “The waiter is still waiting for you to order.”Aura did not like Natasha talking about Luna. Ever since young, Luna was Natasha’s pride. Aura had always been living under Luna’s shadow, so ever since she was of age, Aura was inexplicably hostile toward Luna.“Ah, I’ll continue my order.” Aura’s words pulled Natasha back to the present.Natasha sighed. She asked Nellie’s preference while ordering. Occasionally, she would look at Luna. “Miss, do you eat spicy food?”“Yes, I do,” Luna said with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at Natasha.She was trembling violently inside, it had been six whole years of longing.She could not reconcile with her mother, who was right in front of her. She could only assume another identity. The amount of pain she was in was all thanks to Joshua and Aura! At that thought, Luna clenched her fists tightly.When Nigel
Then, Natasha turned around and continued catching up with Nellie.Sitting at the corner, Luna clenched her fists tightly under the table while listening to the two of them talking.That was not the case! It was not like that! She has never forgotten her parents. She has always missed home.When she wanted to marry Joshua, she never wanted to fight with her parents! It was Aura! At that time, she loved and trusted Aura the most.Aura told her, “Luna, don’t worry. Just go and marry Mr. Lynch. I’d still be here at home.”“Mom and dad said they wanted to cut ties with you, but they’re just trying to frighten you. They still love you a lot, don’t you remember?” “Just do what you want to do. I’ll help you out with mom and dad.”At that time, how would Luna suspect her younger sister, whom she grew up with?Thus, she happily got married to Joshua and moved to Banyan City.It was later on when her father appeared at the gates of Blue Bay Villa. Only then did Luna know that not o
Revenge.This triggered Aura violently. Luna Gibson wanted to seek revenge? For what? At who? Was she seeking revenge on her?How dare she! She should have killed Luna Gibson with her own bare hands! When the driver kicked her into the sea, it was too good a deal for her! If Aura had taken things into her own hands back then, Luna Gibson would not have been alive, let alone give birth to that bastard of a child! Hints of resentment flashed across Aura’s face. She sneered at Luna, “You’re saying as if someone offended my sister.”Aura gracefully pushed her hair back behind her ear. “She was the one that left without a word. She even said that she betrayed Joshua. No one did anything to her, who is she seeking revenge on?”Then, Aura looked at Luna coldly. Her eyes were filled with hostility and danger. “You have never even seen her before, what right do you have to talk about her? How rude.”Unable to take Luna being insulted by Aura, Nellie, who was next to Natasha, delibe
“Aura, have some.”While Natasha was feeding Nellie, she placed some prosciutto into Aura’s plate. “You’ve gotten skinny recently.”Aura was indifferent to Natasha’s concerns. She did not even thank her and picked up her utensils and ate them quickly.Luna lowered her head and forced her tears from falling. She has lost all energy to continue bickering with Aura.Turns out this was how her mother thought of her. After leaving her for six years, everything has changed.Her mother, who once used to believe her unconditionally, has been brainwashed by Aura. She no longer believes in Luna.Why? If only her mother could trust her more, she would realize Aura and Joshua’s scheme. It was flawed and filled with errors.If only her mother held on a little longer, she would have the courage to secretly reconcile with her.She has left her mother for way too long. She wanted to bury herself in her mother’s arms and cry.Distrust, misunderstood, and unfamiliarity. They were like a huge
Luna did not know how she returned to Blue Bay Villa. Her heart was broken, her nose was sore. Her mind was completely blank.At night, Neil gave her a simple briefing on exposing Aura the next day when Joshua announces Nellie’s identity.“Mommy.” At the other end of the video call, Neil frowned. “Is something on your mind?”Luna took a deep breath. “It’s nothing.”“You saw Grandma today, right?”Nellie, who was hugging her teddy bear beside her said, “She even cried.”Then, Nellie was a little angry. “Although Grandma was nice to me, what she said made Mommy upset. I used to like Grandma initially, but later on, I don’t like her anymore. Just like how I don’t like Great-Granny. I think she’s…”“Nellie!” Luna furrowed her brows and interrupted Nellie. “You should go to bed.”Even if Natasha did not trust her, she was still her mother after all. She could not let others talk bad about her. Not even Nellie.“Oh.” Nellie’s face fell. “Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to bad-mouth
Neil was speechless.“Hmph! Nigel still treats me the best!” Nellie placed her hands on her hips and looked proud. “When Nigel gets better, I’ll only bring him shopping and we’ll have good food together alone!”Neil was aggrieved. “Mommy, look at your daughter!”Luna smiled helplessly. She hugged Nellie and continued chatting with Neil on the video call while talking to Nigel via the necklace.In Nellie’s brightly lit room, it was a lovely scene with Luna hugging Nellie.In the garden in the backyard, Joshua looked at the figure inside the French window. He furrowed his brows a little.Leaning by the pillar of the gazebo, he put out the cigarette in his hand.This was his fifth cigarette.He did not know why, but at the thought that Luna was leaving Blue Bay Villa the next day, he was inexplicably annoyed.He has been standing there looking at Luna and Nellie for a long time.She was at first in a bad mood, then she started laughing in tears, yet at that moment, she was fille
Joshua has been waiting for Luna in his study for almost two hours.After two hours, he could no longer take it. He closed his file and covered his face with his hands in irritation.She did not come. She truly did not want to continue staying. He was just overthinking this all this while.Joshua chuckled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the study.He wanted to walk around the villa. Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of Luna’s room.The lights in her room have been switched off. She must be asleep by then.Joshua gently sighed and walked to Nellie’s room. She was also sleeping soundly.It seemed like he was the only person who could not sleep in the entire villa. He was the only one who was reluctant to say goodbye the next day.Joshua returned to his room. He took Luna Gibson’s photo from under his pillow. He gently caressed it over and over again.After a while, he laughed bitterly. “Come back quickly.”“If you’re not still not back yet…”He would really fall for ano
“If not, I would have had a guilty conscience working for you.”Aura immediately frowned at Luna’s words. She immediately opened the car door and got down from the car.She strode over Luna. “I dare you to say another word!”Luna looked at her coldly. “It will still be the same no matter how much I say.”Aura gritted her teeth.Luna was in a cheap servant’s uniform with no make-up on her face. She looked poor and miserable. How dare she look at her with those eyes! Her aloofness in her eyes made Aura feel like she was in a different rank compared to Luna. Those condescending, cold eyes were the same as Luna Gibson back then! Looking at Luna at that moment, Aura even felt that she was once more back under the shadows of Luna Gibson. At that thought, Aura was infuriated.She could not find Luna Gibson nor handle her. Could she not even deal with a lowly servant? Aura bit her lips. She walked over quickly to Luna in her seven-centimeters-tall high heels.She raised her hands
