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
Noticing Nellie stopped moving, Luna furrowed her brows and looked at where Nellie was looking.Standing by the door, Joshua was looking travel-worn.He seemed to have come back from somewhere far. His smart-looking suit was somewhat wrinkled. His hair was also in a mess.However, he gave off a charming, mature, manliness.Luna noticed that he had a small box in his hands. The box was familiar to her, but she could not remember when she had seen them.“Daddy, where have you been?”Nellie obediently put down her utensils and ran to the kitchen. She clumsily took a plate of rice out. “You’re back just in time. Let’s have a last lunch together.”Then, Nellie felt that she said something wrong. “Not the last lunch, the last lunch before Aunty leaves us.”“Hmm.”Joshua looked at Luna and put the box down. He roughly let loose of his tie and threw his coat on the rack.He rolled his sleeves up, carried the box, and walked over.At that moment, Luna noticed that not only his jacket
After hesitating for a long time, she decided to leave the dress in her small house of 10 square meters.It has been such a long time. Luna has forgotten that she has once made such a dress. She recalled back to the time when she was making the dress.The Luna Gibson back then was filled with the hope of having a happy life with Joshua. After she married him, she would be the world’s luckiest woman.However, reality gave her one hard slap, which almost killed her too.“Aunty.” Nellie’s voice pulled her back to the present.Nellie was wearing the little dress, standing in front of her. She happily lifted the dress and waved, smiling happily. “Do I look good?”The scene of Nellie standing in front of her overlapped with the image she once imagined in her memory.It was as if something heavy had crushed Luna’s heart. She forcefully held back her tears and her urge to hug Nellie.Luna sniffled and smiled. “You look good!”“Then it is decided!” Nellie excitedly spun around the li
“Daddy, Aunty, what are you guys talking about?”Nellie noticed that Luna and Joshua had been looking at her. She ran over, smiling brighter than the sun.Joshua glanced at Luna. He raised his hands and patted Nellie’s head. “Nothing much. Do you like the dress?”“I do!” Nellie’s voice was bright as a bell. “Mommy made this herself for me. I love it!”While moving about, a little ornament on the back of her dress fell off.Luna furrowed her brows. “Don’t simply move about.”Nellie obediently stopped moving. Luna picked up the fallen ornament. “Bring me the box.”“Hmm!” Nellie ran to get the box over.“Do I have to take the dress off?” Nellie asked innocently with a cocked head.“No need.” Luna took out the needle and thread from the bottom compartment of the box with ease.“Turn around.” Nellie obediently did so. Luna skillfully threaded the needle, placed the ornament back to its original position, and sewed it up.After that, she let out a long breath. She checked up o
Joshua lowered his eyes. Looking at his daughter’s sparkling eyes, his heart softened.He hugged Nellie in his arms. “You are too innocent.”How could Luna be unhappy because she was leaving? She was the one that insisted on leaving. It was not as if he did not give her a chance. He waited for her the entire night the night before, yet she did not even appear.Why pretend that she was reluctant and in a bad mood at that moment? At that thought, Joshua sighed. “Let’s eat. After lunch, I’ll bring Lucas to let you pick out a new servant, okay?”Nellie bit her lips and nodded. “Okay.”After Mommy leaves, she did need a person who could take good care of her. Although Nellie felt that she could be independent, her brothers and Mommy insisted that she has someone take care of her. After lunch, Lucas took Nellie downstairs to a meeting room in the Blue Bay Villa.A row of women was standing respectfully in a line.“Little princess, these are the women that applied to be your serv
When Nellie took Lily back to her room, Luna went to the garden in the backyard to give Malcolm a call.Once the call went through, Malcolm at the other end of the call chuckled. “You saw Lily?”Nellie sighed helplessly, “I never would have thought that you would send them here yourself.”“I happened to have a business meeting in the country, so I just took them along. I did not send them here on purpose.”“It just happened to be such a coincidence?”Malcolm was silent for a while. Then, he laughed. “No, not really. I missed Neil and Nellie. I miss you a little too.”Luna’s heart skipped a beat.After being silent for a long time, she sighed, “Are you going to Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet tonight too?”“Hmm.” Malcolm smiled faintly. “I want to see who are the people who used to bully you.”Luna closed her eyes. She had so many things she wanted to say to him, but when he picked up the call, she could not form her words.After a while, she smiled helplessly. “Then, see you
When she was lifted on his shoulders, Luna finally realized the seriousness of the matter. She struggled with all her might, but to an aggravated man, her struggles only strengthen his urge to dominate her.Joshua carried her into his bedroom.This was the first time Luna has entered his bedroom after six years. What made her shocked was everything in the bedroom was exactly the same as it was six years ago.Even the potted plants by the window were the same type of plants she once planted.However, so many years have passed, her plants must have already withered and died. This plant at that moment was still alive and well, so did Joshua get people to change a new pot every now and then? He must be having too much free time on his hands.However, it was not the time to think of that at that moment.Slam! The bedroom door was slammed shut.Luna, who was still stunned, was being pressed onto the door by Joshua. Kisses fell on her like raindrops.“Mr. Lynch.”“Joshua Lynch!
