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
Hypocrisy. Pretentious.Luna could not help but retreat a step back upon hearing those words. She bit her lips and looked at the child in front of her closely.This was her own child, Neil. This was Neil who, the moment he knew what happened, would take care of her and his siblings.Luna was just concerned for her son; what she got in return was being called a hypocrite and being pretentious. She knew that this was not Neil’s intention. He would only say things like this because he had lost his memory.Her heart ached nonetheless.Luna suppressed the urge to cry, and she tried hard to force a smile.“Jake, I’m just being concerned for you. It’s alright if you don’t like it. Why do you have to say such hurtful words?”The hurt in Luna’s heart made Neil’s heart stutter a little. A kind of emotion similar to heartbreak arose in his heart inexplicably, which made him a little annoyed.Neil took a deep breath. “Luna, I’ve already said that my mother and I are here to seek revenge.
However, Joshua’s face inexplicably appeared on Neil’s mind.What happened was…On the night of Luna’s birthday, when Neil went to look for Joshua, Joshua did not even seem surprised. It was as if he long expected Neil would turn out.Neil did not bother saying much to him. He immediately picked up the knife and aimed it at Joshua’s stomach. However, he could not do it.He knew that as long as he did what his mother asked of him, Uncle Theo would not suffer that much anymore.Neil also knew that Joshua, the man in front of him, was someone who had done something wrong to him. The scumbag who wronged his mother.It would not be a pity if Joshua died. He deserved it.However, the moment Neil picked up the knife, every fiber of his being resisted him. In the end, he still did not stab Joshua.Looking at him hesitating, Joshua laughed. “Why? You can’t do it?”Joshua smiled and looked at Neil. “But if I’m not hurt, you’ll be punished, right?”Joshua’s calm look made Neil, who ha
Luna suppressed the detest in her heart. “Michael Lynch, I think you should be clear that our so-called engagement last night was only a ploy due to an emergency. I don’t intend to marry you, and I don’t want to discuss a marriage date with you either.”“Is that so?” Michael, on the other end of the line, chuckled. “But, Luna, the news of our engagement and the photos of you trying to kiss me on stage last night is all over the news. If you were to look at any news channel in Banyan City, you’ll receive the notifications.”Michael bawled out in laughter. “I’ll advise you to immediately meet me right now. Otherwise, I might tell the press how my fiancée is living with her fiancé’s brother in the same house…“Think about what that would do to your reputation.”Luna squinted coldly upon hearing Michael’s words.After a while, she bit her lip. “Address.”Michael, on the other end of the line, started laughing arrogantly once again. “I’ll be waiting for you at Bamboo Palace! See you t
