Neil clutched the phone tightly in his hand.His heart raced wildly. After arranging with Aura to find an opportunity to get Nigel and Nellie out, Neil sat on the bench in the garden anxiously.It seemed that his gut was not wrong. The doctor might not be wrong either.Nigel and he were very likely identical twins. Perhaps even Nellie was born at the same time!However, he was feeling complicated at such a thought. On one hand, he was happy that he could finally have real siblings.On the other hand, he felt that Joshua and Luna were utterly pretentious the more he thought of the idea.How could they pretend to be benevolent parents to other people’s children? During dinner, Neil unprecedentedly took food for Luna and Joshua.Both Luna and Joshua were shocked yet delighted. Luna looked at Neil, and she then looked at Joshua. Joshua was also looking at her, and their eyes, filled with surprise, met.Nellie, by the side, smiled and looked at them. She chuckled calmly. “Are you
“Whether Nigel is a kid who likes to joke, I can still see for myself. You guys just don’t trust me. Since you don’t trust me, why did you bring me here?”Then, Neil struggled to grab the plate, but Luna pressed it down with force.In the end, the plate could not bear the struggle, and it immediately slipped right out of both of their hands.Crash! The plate fell, and the cookies were scattered all over the floor.The entire dining room fell into silence.Neil smiled. “Great, now no one gets poisoned.” Then, he took a deep breath and strode upstairs.He did not even swerve past the broken plate shards, and the pieces pierced through his slippers, stabbing into his feet. However, it was as if he did not feel any pain. Neil continued heading upstairs.The kids' room door slammed shut loudly.By the dining table, the family of four looked at each other. After a long while, Luna looked at Joshua with rebuke. “Why did you have to ask such a question?”Joshua looked at Nigel. “I o
Luna furrowed her brows.Joshua, by the side, also coldly swept Nellie a glance.“Only the three of you are going to get the DNA samples?” Joshua furrowed his brows. “Just get him to tell us where Aura is staying. I can just send my men to do it.”Joshua thought that things like obtaining DNA samples would not need those three kids to do it.Any bodyguard they had was professionally trained. They did things cleanly and swiftly, with no room for error.“But Neil wants to head there himself.”Nigel slowly lifted his head. “He said that Aura doesn’t stay in one place all the time. Also, she’s extremely guarded. If we’re to send men to do it, it’ll alert her sooner or later. “But if he were to head there himself, Aura won’t be suspicious. She’ll only think that he wants to see her. “As for bringing both of us…” Nigel looked at Nellie helplessly. “Nellie’s only afraid that Neil might not return after going to see Aura, so she thought of following him.”Then, Nigel lifted his gaze
Luna immediately grabbed hold of Neil’s ankle, exposing his injured sole of the feet. There were still a few broken pieces lodged in them.She sighed and clutched onto his ankle, while gently taking the broken pieces out of his feet with the tweezers.“How could you be so careless?” Neil was initially seated, but when Luna tugged at him, he was forced to lie back on the bed. He could not exert his strength. Luna clutched onto his ankle tightly. It was quite painful, so Neil just gave up struggling.However, even though his body stopped struggling, he was still defiant in his speech. He furrowed his brows and looked at Luna.“It’s none of your business whether I’m careless or not. I’ve already said to stop being a hypocrite and pretentious with me! I’m not Nigel or Nellie. This won’t work on me!”Luna furrowed her brows. “Even if I’m being a hypocrite, even if I’m being pretentious, I’m helping you to clean your wound. What do you have to lose? Why are you resisting it?”When sh
“If you have the confidence that Nellie and Nigel won’t get hurt if they tag along, of course, I’m fine with it.” Luna smiled.She gently ruffled Neil’s head. Her tone was gentle. “You’re willing to get close to them, I’m quite happy about it, actually.”Luna sighed and threw the tissue papers and cotton buds used to clean Neil’s wound into the bin. Then, she kept the first aid kit before turning and leaving.Neil lay in bed looking at Luna leaving. He pursed his lips tightly. If Nigel and Nellie were to follow along the next day, he would definitely protect them with all his life.This was Joshua, Luna, Nigel, and Nellie placing their trust in him. One could never be a person without credibility and limits.However…Neil closed his eyes. He could not imagine if the truth was like what his mother had said, none of the children belonged to Luna.When the children leave her, she would feel extremely terrible, right?…The next morning.During breakfast, Neil once again suggeste
The car drove for a very long time. In the back seat, Nellie shifted from bored to death from her initial excitement.She pressed her head onto the window and looked at the scenery out of the window. A huge question popped up in her head.Nellie turned to look at Neil. “Didn’t you say we were going to the hotel?”Why was the car heading to a more secluded place, it was even reaching the outskirts of Banyan City? Neil looked at the address on his phone. He pursed his lips. “We’ll be there soon.”The address that Aura gave was a very secluded place. Neil had also once suspected the address, but Aura said that the DNA Diagnostic Center was huge, they had to be built in places like the outskirts. After all, it took up a huge space and the city was not cheap.Neil was convinced and no longer had any doubts about the address.However, the car headed further into barren land. Where was the huge DNA Diagnostic Center? Nellie looked at Neil a little anxiously. “Jake, did you take us t
“I’m telling you to stop the car!” Neil yelled at the driver manically.However, the driver seemed to not have heard him. Not only did he not stop the car, but he also increased the speed.Neil bit his lips and slammed on the car door. He glared at the driver. “You are my driver! Why are you not listening to me!”The driver laughed, “Do you think I’m Theo Allen, that I would listen to whatever you said? Young Master, don’t think too highly of yourself. We’re Lady Aura’s men. We only listen to her!”Then, he slammed the gas. Soon, the car arrived right at the entrance of the abandoned factory.Nellie’s eyes widened. She looked at the car outside in shock. In the end, she turned around and looked at Neil.“Nigel…Jake, you lied to us!”Did he not say that they were going to the hotel where Aura was to gather her DNA samples? Why were they there at a deserted place? There was nothing around except the abandoned factory in front of them. How could Aura possibly be staying there?F
Neil had barely finished speaking when Aura slapped him violently on the face.“What? You’ve only been with Joshua for a day and you’ve already been led astray by them? Who the hell do you think you are? Why should I tell you my plans? You only have to remember that I am your mother! You will do what I tell you to do! Stop asking so many stupid questions!”Then, Aura turned around and headed into the abandoned factory without looking back.“Get yourself in here!”Neil stood in the same spot clutching his red and swollen face. He looked at Aura unconcerned for him. The scene where Luna was cleaning his wounds and slapping his butt inexplicably arose in his mind.If…If only she was his mother. How great would that be?Nigel and Nellie’s signal had been cut off. Luna, who had been following the signal in the car, looked at the spot where the red dots vanished on the screen rather anxiously. “Why was the signal suddenly cut off?”Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the screen.
