The night deepened.Sitting in the hotel room, Malcolm Quinn looked at the scene on the big screen, frowning fiercely.He had been looking for Luna for more than two hours now, combing through every corner of the hotel.Finally, he spotted her slim figure in the CCTV recording from a roadside camera.The woman on the screen was dead drunk, stumbling in a certain direction.And the direction she was headed toward… was Joshua’s Blue Bay Villa.White half-moons appeared on the tips of his fingers that were clutching the wine glass.Luna only knew he was here today to attend Granny Lynch’s birthday party, but she did not know he came purposely for her.He and Joshua were sworn enemies.The Quinn family’s business endeavors didn’t extend to Banyan City.He rescheduled a few meetings just to come here and see her.That night, he received many overseas phone calls, urging him to return home.But the woman he cared about and valued above everything, not only did she drink for anoth
“My father is downstairs?”He climbed down from the bed, wearing the robe around his shoulders. “I’ll go wash up. You should tidy yourself up and get up too. Ask the servants to prepare whatever you want for breakfast.”He acted so naturally as if this was not the first time something like this happened between them.Looking at his broad back, Luna bit her lip. “Joshua.”He stopped.“What more do you want to say?”He opened his mouth, not even bothering to turn around, his voice cold and distant, “We’re both adults. Don’t tell me…”His lips turned up in a sneer, “You want me to take responsibility? You came to me drunk, is this a new mission Malcolm Quinn gave you?”With that, before she could react, he opened the bathroom door and walked in.Sitting on the bed, Luna looked at the tightly shut bathroom door, listened to the flow of the running water inside, her heart sinking deep down into the pit of her chest.His cold attitude reminded her of the countless days and nights w
“I don’t like it.”Joshua frowned and ripped her arms off of his neck. “I’m afraid your plan won’t work. Maybe if you asked before last night, I might’ve considered your suggestion. But after last night…”He placed his lips beside her ear, his low voice coupled together with his hot breath flowing into her ears, “I know you’re with Malcolm Quinn. Do you think I would keep someone loyal to my opponent beside me and allow you to work against me?”With that, he turned his head coldly and prepared to leave.However, she reached out and grabbed his collar, her eyes seemed to be challenging him. “Are you that insecure?”He frowned and looked at her, saying nothing.Her lips curved up in a smile. “I’m just a woman, you’ve run your background checks on me, you should know by now what I’m capable of. And yet you’re afraid I would steal your company secrets, what else is it, if you’re not insecure?”She purposely pulled out the last word, trying to hook his slightly wavering heart.Joshu
No matter what, she was sure, he was not as unbothered by her as he pretended to be.At least he found her physically attractive, she could arouse his urges and desire.That was enough!Besides, all she wanted when she returned home this time was his seed!As for who this scum actually liked, who lived in his heart, she did not care at all!At this thought, Luna planted a kiss on her daughter’s cheek. “I don’t blame you.You gave me a good idea."With that, she sucked in a deep breath and turned to leave."Where are you going?"Looking at her retreating back, Nellie frowned, and hurriedly walked to the corridor with her short legs."I’ll go home now."Luna paused and smiled at her. "We will meet again soon!"Will we meet again soon?Nellie sighed, her father’s words from last night ringing in her ears.She realized she still had other things she had yet to tell her mother.For instance, when Daddy said he did not really want to protect that evil Aunt Aura; it was just a
Anne rolled her eyes at Luna. “Do you think someone who has been single forever, like me, would have something like that at home?”Luna smiled. “But I heard from Neil that a handsome uncle has been pursuing you recently? "As soon as she uttered these words, Anne's face instantly turned red."We just… we just got together, we’re not at the stage where I need to use a pregnancy test yet!"Looking at her blushing face, Luna's mood instantly improved.She smiled and turned on the TV with the remote control. Just as she wanted to continue teasing Anne, the doorbell rang."Delivery!"Delivery?Luna turned and glanced at Anne. "Did you order takeaway?"Anne shrugged. "It’s for you."Luna opened the door suspiciously.The delivery man handed Luna a paper bag.Back in the room, Luna opened the paper bag."Splatter—"The item that fell out of the paper bag was exactly what Luna just mentioned, a pregnancy test!Luna looked at the pregnancy tests that fell all over the floor, stun
“Other children grow more mature as their parents educate them. But your three children are already so mature… I’m afraid no matter how you educate them, they can’t get their childishness back?”Luna could not refute that.She sounded right.It was all Joshua’s fault, why were his genes so strong!These three young children were only six years old, and yet they were way more knowledgeable than their peers!Slipping her phone into her pocket, she brought the pregnancy tests back to her room, arranged them neatly in the drawer, then put on her mask and went to sleep.She was dead drunk last week.But from how heavy and fuzzy her head felt…He did not let her sleep for long.At the thought of what happened last night, Luna clapped her palms together in front of her chest. “Make me pregnant, please, make me pregnant…”After her prayers, she fell asleep in a daze.“John, listen to me, please!”Vaguely, Luna heard Anne’s voice drifting in from outside, she sounded like she was cr
“Mr. Lynch is here!”“It’s Mr. Lynch!”“Quick, go and welcome him…”The minute Luna walked into the bar, she came face to face with a group of suited men.Upon hearing Joshua was here, the group of men rushed to the entrance, like a group of vampires that smelled blood.So, not only could Joshua make countless women go crazy for him, even men could not escape his charms.“I’m sorry.”Right when she was in the middle of her emotional rant, an elegant man ran into her.The man simply apologized, then raised his feet and followed the group of men out to greet Joshua.Luna curled her lips and walked into the bar, taking out her phone and scrolling through it until she found the photo Anne had sent her.Anne and John have been together for less than a week, and she had not been introduced to him yet.She can only rely on photos to identify him.The moment she clicked on the photo, she suddenly found that John looked slightly familiar.Come to think of it, this was the man who j
“I’ll only take a few minutes of your time.”Luna frowned. “I’m not here to put in a good word for her, I’m here to explain the misunderstanding I caused.”“You…”When they were talking, the crowd had already reached the entrance to the elevators.John scoffed and entered the elevator immediately.Luna had no choice but to follow him upstairs.In the elevator, she was afraid John would run away, so she unconsciously held onto his sleeve, lowered her voice and said, “Listen, I can explain…”The minute the words left her mouth, a man’s condescending voice rang beside her, “John, why would you bring your woman to a business dinner?”Another man laughed, “I heard you just got a new girlfriend a few days ago, a young, pretty girl who’s never been in a relationship before, is this her?”“You’re so lucky, not only is your girlfriend pretty, she’s so needy too.”John opened his mouth to explain but did not know how to.In the end, he could only pull Luna’s hand off of his sleeve har
