Luna’s hand was just about to grab the handles of Joshua’s wheelchair when she stopped a little.After a moment, she immediately caught up to Joshua and grabbed the handles to his wheelchair, pushing him out.“Joshua, I know you’re angry at me for going rogue at the last minute, admitting that I am engaged to Michael, but…”Luna sniffled and bit her lips. “I had no choice. The box that Aura gave me. Inside—”Joshua looked ahead as he calmly interrupted Luna, “Inside the box had something to do with Theo and Neil. The letter she wrote was threatening you. She said that if you don’t do according to what she said, she’d hurt Theo and Neil.’”Joshua smiled. He sounded rather self-deprecating. “Am I right?”Luna was completely stunned. After a while, she bit her lip. “How did you know…?”“I made a guess.”“Since you already knew, why did you—”“Luna.”Joshua took a deep breath. He stopped in his tracks and elegantly turned his wheelchair around.He lifted his gaze and looked at L
“You said that you were busy at work, but I saw with my own eyes how you were socializing with others. Women putting their arms on your shoulders, but I still trusted you, pretended I didn't see it. Why did I stop trusting you, then?”Luna looked at him and enunciated, “You crushed the trust I placed in you back then. The incident six years ago, until now, I’m still unsure whether you colluded with Aura to harm me, or if it was only one of you that planned it.“You’re good to me and my children now, and I’m aware of that. I am also very grateful, but this can’t wipe away the harm you brought me in the past. Please don’t blame me for not trusting you. Ever since the accident six years ago, I only trust myself.”Then, Luna took a deep breath, turned around, and strode away.In the empty and cold venue, Joshua was in his wheelchair, quietly looking at Luna leaving. His gaze gradually turned cold.…Blue Bay Villa.“Jake, this is your bed!”The moment they reached home, Nellie imme
Under the moonlight, Nellie slept soundly in her princess bed.Neil stood at her bedside, gripping his knife tightly as he studied her face.In the distance, Nigel lay in bed. He also had a small crossbow held tightly in his hands.Unlike Nellie, Nigel was not willing to naively believe that Neil was still Neil. Despite having lost his memories, Neil was a stranger until he would regain them. One can never be too defensive of strangers.The atmosphere in the children’s room was stifling. Tension and hostility filled the air.After a while, Neil let out a sigh and kept his knife. He reached his small hand out and gently traced Nellie’s face. Although he hated the Lynch family, he could not find it in his heart to hate this naive and affectionate little girl, nor could he be cruel to her.After a long while, Neil took a deep breath, walked out of Nellie’s tent, and threw the knife into the bin.After that, he turned around and carefully returned to his top bunk bed.Nigel, in the
Anne and Bonnie had even made a bet that Luna’s and Joshua’s fake relationship would turn real and they would end up happily together.However, no one expected that such changes would happen that night. Neil suddenly turned out to be Aura’s and Joshua’s children.The man of the hour during the engagement ceremony had changed to another person, too.Both of them accompanied Luna the entire night. Luna was still in the bar even as morning came, at 10 a.m., when she came around.Anne and Bonnie were drunk as a skunk, sleeping soundly. Luna yawned and got up to head out, planning to head out and buy some breakfast for them before waking them up.When she pushed the door of the bar open, she realized that it was raining heavily outside. The skies had changed their colors due to the heavy rain.She furrowed her brows. Just as she was hesitating whether she should risk going out in such a heavy rain just for food, her phone rang. It was from Nellie.Luna immediately picked her phone up
Realizing that he must have spoken out of turn, Lucas was silent.Luna furrowed her brows tightly once again. “Lucas.” She turned to look at him seriously. “I’m asking you.”Only then did Lucas take a deep breath and sigh. He looked in front, driving with difficulty under the heavy rain while answering solemnly, “Yes. When you met with the accident under the heavy rain back then, I was with Mr. Lynch at Sea City. He initially thought you pulled a prank on him when he heard you got into an accident.“Once he found out everything was real, he…immediately canceled the most important meeting to the Lynch Group. He abandoned the collaborators that came from far away at Sea City and rushed back to Banyan City with us.“It was also because Mr. Lynch stood the collaborators up back then that it hindered the growth of Lynch Group's overseas business.”Lucas sighed. Back then, Lucas had just graduated from college. He was only a lowly assistant who had been working for Joshua for not long
“What you say doesn’t count.”Joshua sighed and looked at the heavy rain in front of him and the sea in the distance.“I always wanted to know whether it hurts falling into the sea from here. Would I survive? If, like her, I were to bear the pain she bore that day, would she forgive me?”“No,” a cold voice interrupted Joshua abruptly.Joshua was stunned. After a while, he looked back in surprise. Behind him, under Lucas’ umbrella, was Luna, standing still and looking at him coldly, arrogantly.A hint of panic flashed across Joshua’s face, but after a while, it instantly disappeared.He furrowed his brows and looked at Luna. “Why are you here?”“Nellie got me to come.” Luna looked at him without any expression on her face. “Nellie was afraid that her father would learn from me, jumping down Bay Bridge back then, so she called me to get me to come to check on you.”Luna’s gaze was cold and rather sarcastic.“I thought that a cold-hearted person like you wouldn’t do stupid things
Luna looked at Joshua’s angular face and felt her emotions jumbled, intermingled.She took a deep breath and looked away. She did not dare to look at him.“If the car accident six years ago truly had nothing to do with you…“And, if you can help me help Neil regain his memories, I’ll be willing to trust you before you gather concrete evidence. I’ll also forgive you.”Joshua looked at her closely.“It’s true. Mmh.” Luna sniffled her nose and said, “I don’t need to lie to you.”If Joshua could truly help Neil regain his memory, Luna would not only believe him or forgive him, even if…“Okay.” Looking at Luna’s side profile, Joshua closed his eyes and said in a low, hoarse voice, “Even if you don’t tell me to do it, I’d still help Neil try to find his memories.”As for searching for evidence regarding six years ago…Joshua had already started on it. The moment he would get the evidence that Aura harmed Luna and framed him for it back then…He would make sure she wished she was ne
“Daddy, Mommy, look! Nigel is blushing! He’s blushing because I said what was on his mind!”Nigel immediately retorted, “No, you didn’t!”Nellie laid on Nigel. “I did, I did, I did!”The two children happily fooled around. Luna and Joshua could not help but smile.However, Neil, who had been in the corner, looking at them, furrowed his brows a little. The next second, he kept the Rubik’s cube, stood up, and silently went upstairs. Luna noticed every single action he did. Her smile immediately stiffened. After a moment, she took a deep breath, lowered her gaze, and looked at the man in the wheelchair. Joshua was also looking at Neil leaving, clearly noticing Neil’s reaction.“I’ll go have a look,” said Luna. She took a deep breath and followed Neil upstairs.Neil silently headed upstairs and walked into the kid’s bedroom. He quietly climbed to the upper bunk bed and lied down on the bed, looking at the ceiling in a daze.Luna carefully pushed the door and entered. The moment
