“Ms. Luna, you can really handle your alcohol.”In room number 402, Luna had just finished her sixth glass of the day.She set down the wineglass, leaned on the table with her cheek in her hand and licked seductively at the remaining wine gathered at the corners of her lips. She looked charmingly at the big, fat man beside her and said, “Director Wilson, you promised, if I drink another glass, you would sign the contract. Such a big boss like you, you wouldn’t lie to a little woman like me, right?”Her tone lifted upwards slightly, purring like a kitten, incredibly seductive.Hearing her talk to him like that, Director Wilson almost forgot his own identity.The beauty already put it that way, how could he forgo his promise now? “I’ll sign, I’ll sign!”Director Wilson immediately reached out and grabbed the contract out of the manager’s hands. “I’ll sign right now!”The men present were all stunned.To win this deal, they had tried all the methods they could think of.They ha
“Of course not.”Luna smiled. “I like older men.”With that, the door behind her was opened.Everyone else in the room looked in surprise in the direction of the open door, but none of them dared to say a single word.However, Luna and Director Wilson were focused on tricking each other and did not notice the new development behind them at all.Director Wilson smiled as he drank the wine Luna handed to him. “Who is more handsome, me or your old lover?”Luna rolled her eyes in her mind, this old man was shameless indeed.She laughed lightly and said, “Of course you’re better looking.”Her eyes flashed and she thought of a way to scare off the old man.“Even though I play around with a lot of men, none of them are worth a mention.”With that, the air in the room turned terrifyingly cold.But Luna continued finishing her words as planned. “Especially the one yesterday, sick and ugly…”At the entrance, Lucas looked on as his boss’ expression turned darker and darker, finally, w
The moment the words left his mouth, the entire room fell silent.Everyone’s gazes flitted dumbly to Luna and Joshua.The meaning behind his words was obvious. Luna just said the last man she slept with was ugly, dirty, and sick, and Joshua oh-so suddenly asked her what sickness he had…Director Wilson took a step back in shock. “Mr. Lynch, you… You must be joking, right?”Everyone in the entire Banyan City knew Joshua Lynch was a clean and upright man, loyal to his ex-wife Luna Gibson.When she was still alive, he never attended any drinking events where women were present because he was worried she would get the wrong ideas. After she passed away, he drank so much to the point his stomach bled. Plus, to protect her sister, he remained engaged with Aura for many years.At the birthday party two days ago, he even announced that he got word Luna Gibson was still alive, so he wanted to break off the engagement with Aura and look for Luna Gibson.The past few days, the entire inter
The car door slammed shut with a bang, closing them off from the outside world.Luna felt like her head had exploded.She exerted all of her strength and struggled against Joshua. “Let go of me!”“Didn’t you say I was sick?” He turned vicious, locking her down securely. “If I didn’t spread my sickness to you today, how could I live up to the defamatory labels you stuck on my back?”He managed to know it all that night, but what if he did not? Would she take it a step further, making up tales about him while flirting with other men?At the thought of the scene that greeted his eyes, his gaze turned cold as he pressed her hands to the top of her head.Luna gritted her teeth and wanted to put up a fight, but her rational mind told her she should not.She should cooperate with him; Nigel’s illness needed her to provide a cure…At that thought, she made up her mind as she abruptly lifted her lips in a light, airy laugh. “What’s wrong, Mr. Lynch? Can’t you control yourself anymore?
Luna’s anger still sizzled in the pit of her stomach as she stepped out of the taxi. It was by chance that she saw Neil sitting near the flower bed at the entrance to their housing area, seemingly talking on the phone. She frowned and approached him. “Why aren’t you home?”The little boy shrugged. “Godmother and her boyfriend are acting all sweet and lovey-dovey. I don’t want to be the third wheel.”With that, he glanced at Luna silently. “Mommy, do you want to go upstairs and be the third wheel?”Luna was mum for a moment before she cleared her throat. “How long have they been up there?”“Around half an hour.”Neil sighed. “Mommy, do you think we can still spend the night at Godmother’s house tonight? I saw her crying in her boyfriend’s arms just now, and both of them were laughing and crying.”He switched to a more comfortable position and swung his short little legs in the air. “Are dating adults so emotional?”Luna rolled her eyes at him. “You won’t understand.”Anne and
“Finally, I can sleep with Mommy again.”Laying on the bed, Neil hugged his mother’s arm and rubbed his little head against her. “Since we came back, I haven’t been close to you at all. You’re with Nellie every day, and it’s hard for me to even hold you, Mommy.”Neil’s words made Luna feel slightly guilty. After all, Nellie was her treasure, but so were Neil and Nigel.She was always worried about Nigel’s illness and Nellie’s safety, but she somehow neglected the smart and obedient Neil.At that thought, she raised her hand and ruffled his hair. “After your brother’s illness is cured, Mommy will spend every day with the three of you.”Neil pouted. “Mommy, you mean four.”Luna paused, smiling helplessly. “Right, four.”She had to conceive Joshua’s child again to save Nigel.“You may want to be with us every day, Mommy, but we might not want you to.” Neil smiled at her cheekily and hugged her arm. “After Nigel recovers, he’ll definitely want to continue being a hacker, learning e
“I'll go and open the door.” The frowning Neil put down his fork and spoon, his small body jumping down from his chair and strode to the door.“Who is it?”“It’s me,” came a little girl’s child-like voice outside the door. “Neil, it’s me, Nellie! I went to Godmother’s house, and she said the two of you didn’t go back last night, so I came here. I didn’t expect to find you and Mommy here! Quick, open the door!”Hearing his sister’s voice, Neil grew excited. He immediately opened the door and spread his arms open. “Nellie!”Outside the door stood Nellie, dressed in her usual princess-style dress, and Lily.She saw her brother spreading his arms open in her direction, but she did not hug him.She sniffed. “Something smells so good!”The little girl walked past Neil and strode into the apartment. “Are you guys eating breakfast? Did you prepare some for me?”“No.” Neil returned to the dining table as he sulked and sat down to resume his breakfast.The little girl sat pitifully at th
Nellie pursed her lips. “Mommy, a long time has passed since Daddy saved you from the fire, right? his wounds healed a long time ago, right? He couldn’t have knocked into his wounds so easily, to the extent where he would have to be admitted into the hospital, right?”As she said these words, the little girl studied Luna’s expressions through the corners of her eyes. “I think the servants are saying that on purpose as an excuse for Daddy to not eat breakfast with me.”Luna frowned as she placed her empty plate on the table. “Maybe.”She then stretched lazily, turned, and sat on the sofa to play with her phone. It seemed like the news that Joshua was admitted into the hospital did not affect her much.Nellie furrowed her brows as she bit her lip silently.In truth, she did not come to them because she did not have breakfast at home. She thought that Mommy would be nervous knowing that Daddy was in the hospital. After all, every time Daddy was admitted into the hospital, Mommy would
