“Do you think your precious Joshua Lynch will be any different?”With that, he hung up the phone.Luna bit her lower lip as she gripped the phone tightly in her hand.Malcolm noticed that she had finished calling and wheeled himself over with a frown. “How was it?” he asked in a low voice. “Did you manage to reach him?”Luna shook her head. Quinn Mansion was a well-guarded place, and she knew she could not possibly escape.At the same time, she could not get in touch with Joshua in Banyan City either.All of a sudden, she recalled Gwen and Luke. They were in Sea City, so she could definitely reach them there, but…Her phone had been disposed of, and she could not remember their numbers.“Don’t worry.” Malcolm reached out to grab hold of Luna’s hand gently, seeing how upset she was. “We can find the contact number of Luke’s company in Sea City and call that instead.”Luna thought this was a good idea, so she quickly found the number of Luke’s hotel in Sea City.However, the
Luna spent the entire night tossing and turning in her sleep.She kept dreaming that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City and was holding the Quinns accountable for kidnapping her.Therefore, as soon as she woke up the next day, she quickly found Malcolm to borrow his phone. She called Luke’s hotel again to find out whether Luke had received her message.After making sure that Luke had passed on her message to Joshua, she finally felt relieved.“Actually, you shouldn’t be too worried either.” Malcolm curled his lips into a smile and glanced at her after putting his phone away. “Even if Joshua arrived in Merchant City and found us, it wouldn’t be such a big deal at all.“I’m not capable of sending you home anymore, so if he came to rescue you, it’d be fulfilling my wish as well.”Luna, however, shook her head. “The Quinn family saved me when I was at my rock bottom many years ago and helped me give birth and raise my three children. I owe everything I have now to the Quinn family,
As soon as Granny Quinn left, Hunter, too, started jeering and taunting Malcolm. “See? I already told you that Luna, who you constantly put on a pedestal, is just as shallow as the rest of the women from the outside world!“You insist that she’s different, but you’ve been proven wrong. She doesn’t want to hold up to her end of the promise after your accident. I pity you, Malcolm!”Malcolm gripped the armrests of his wheelchair so tightly that his knuckles turned white.After Hunter left, Malcolm released his grip on the armrests, closed his eyes, and said in a voice as gentle as always, “Take me back to my room, Luna.”Luna wheeled Malcolm away with a complicated feeling in her heart.God had posed a challenging question for her…If Malcolm had not gotten into his accident, then maybe she would have had other ways of repaying her debt to him and the Quinn family, but since he was disabled, everyone would think that her refusal to marry him was due to her disgust and contempt towa
Joshua had bought out more than ten small companies in Merchant City. Every one of these companies played a part in the Landry family’s pharmaceutical and fragrance businesses.Luna wondered about this as she recorded the names of these companies and their contact numbers from the news on the TV.Was Joshua not there to find her? Why did he buy out so many companies related to the Landry family overnight?It seemed as though…he was doing this to get revenge on the Landry family. However, Luna tried to reassure herself that maybe Joshua just wanted to give the Landry family a taste of their own medicine while coming to Merchant City to find her at the same time.After all, the Lynch and the Landry families were mortal enemies. If they found out that Joshua had arrived in Merchant City, they would stir up trouble for him.As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt an even more compelling desire to see Joshua.After writing down the numbers of the companies Joshua had bought out, L
Granny Quinn glanced at Luna and Malcolm. Then, she looked down at the pond and continued to feed the fishes in it. “It’s getting late, and dinner is about to be ready. Where are you guys going?”Malcolm smiled. “Luna just came back to Merchant City, so she hasn’t gotten used to it yet. I’m going to bring her out for a walk.”“Out for a walk?”Granny Quinn sneered, then turned around and stared at Malcolm sternly. “Are you afraid that the citizens of Merchant City don’t know that the Young Master of Quinn family has become disabled? This woman just arrived, and you already want to bring her out and humiliate the family! Go back inside now!”With that, Granny Quinn ordered the guards who were standing to one side, “Bring these two back inside the house. In the future, you are not allowed to leave Quinn Mansion without my permission!”“Granny,” Malcolm spoke up immediately, “if you want Luna to stay and marry me, you can’t treat her like a prisoner and lock her in this yard. I’m no
When Luna arrived at Cold Jazz Restaurant, Joshua and his business partner had already entered the private booth to start their business discussion.Luna peeked into the room from the entrance.She and Joshua had only been separated for a day, yet she missed him as though they had been apart for a century. At this moment, Joshua was sitting at the head of the table elegantly with his back facing Luna while he conducted the business meeting.Every word that came out of Joshua's mouth sounded frightening to others. Even though there was a door between them, Luna could still sense his strong and commandeering aura that made the entire atmosphere feel suffocating. Luna had always found this personality trait of Joshua attractive."Luna?" All of a sudden, a soft voice rang out from behind her.Luna frowned and turned around.A woman dressed in a waiter’s uniform was standing behind her. Luna recognized her as a parent whose child also had leukemia, like Nigel—her name was Sylvia Wat
Actually…This was something Luna had been wondering about as well. Since Luke had already passed on her message the day before, this meant that Joshua should have known that she was in Merchant City.However, from the moment Joshua arrived at Merchant City…he had been busy targeting businesses related to the Landry family.He did not target nor harm the Quinn family at all. Not only that, but he did not initiate any contact with the Quinn family to meet Luna.Luna tried not to overthink, but, given the reality, it was hard not to dwell on her suspicions that…Could it be that seeking revenge was a bigger priority than finding her to Joshua?Was it so important for him to seek revenge on the Landry family that he could not even focus on tracking her down simultaneously and instead refused to find her before he succeeded in getting his revenge?“What do you think, Mr. Lennon?” Joshua curled his lips into a smile and continued in a calm voice, “Is there any difference between me
Sylvia pushed Luna out of the private booth.As soon as she came out of the restaurant, Luna, who was still dressed in her waitress outfit, with her mask and cap on, bumped into Joshua at the front door of the restaurant.A few bodyguards were protecting him discreetly. He seemed tired as he leaned against the car, talking on the phone at the same time.He seemed to be talking to Nellie."Be nice at home with your brothers. I don't need your help. Yes, Mommy will be fine. They won't hurt her. See her? I haven't gotten the chance yet, but once I'm done with my work, then I’ll find her. Don't worry; I’ll try my best to defeat the Landry family and bring Mommy home…"The night wind carried Joshua's deep voice toward Luna, and she felt…Surprise, shock, reluctance, disappointment.Luna’s entire being was engulfed in different emotions.Luna remained motionless as she stared at Joshua, and she could feel her heart ache.She thought Joshua had come to Merchant City urgently to find
