As soon as she heard this, a twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart.She bit her lip, kneeled in front of Nigel, and gently placed her hand on his shoulder. Then, she replied in a low voice, "Who told you I'm here to say goodbye? Did your father say that?"Neil shook his head. "Nigel and I figured it out by ourselves."With that, he let out a sigh and reached out to wrap his hand around Luna's finger. Then, he said with a hint of longing both on his face and in his tone, "Mommy, Nigel said that your parents and Daddy's family have a longstanding vengeance, and you chose your family over us. We can't go back to the way we used to be anymore."With that, Neil lifted his head to stare at Luna, sadness and disappointment clouding his clear eyes. "Is that true?"Luna did not know how to answer this question. She bit her lip and pulled the three children into her arms. "Even if Mommy and Daddy aren't together anymore, you'll still be my babies. I'll still find ways to see and visit yo
June stared at Harvey with a twinkle in her eye and said, "I don't mind not having a Mommy. To me, my Daddy is my Mommy too. "Sometimes, he acts like a girl!"As soon as she finished her sentence, the air around them seemed to freeze over. The two of them lifted their heads and met Christopher's cold gaze.June stuck out her tongue cheekily and ducked behind Harvey.Christopher glanced at Joshua, who was standing motionless like a statue, walked over, and picked up the two children in his arms.As he took the children away, he could not help reminding Joshua, "Please try your hardest to win her back."Joshua remained motionless, staring at Luna and the three sobbing children.She could not bear leaving her children behind.He narrowed his eyes.Even though Christopher had wanted him to try his best, Joshua knew better than anyone that he should not force things at a time like this.Luna was a kind person.He would not let her solve her problems by herself…and instead, he
The room fell into silence.Seeing the look of disbelief on Luna's face, Joshua curled his lips into a small smile. "I asked Christopher, and he told me the baby in your belly is more than a month old."A month ago, you had just been abducted, and unless you slept with him immediately after arriving in Merchant City, you wouldn't have gotten pregnant."At that time, you had just suffered a miscarriage, so you couldn't have done that."With that, he took a sip from his cup and added, "Therefore, according to my speculation, this baby is the same one that had been conceived about a month ago."His analysis was logical and spot-on. Luna pursed her lips and stared at him intently. "Yes."She knew that there was no hiding the truth anymore, so she did not want to lie to him any further. "When I fell from the second floor, I had suffered some bleeding. The doctor and I thought the child was gone…"But to my surprise, it survived against all odds."Joshua narrowed his eyes. "But now
"We can't…be together anymore."I'll leave Nigel, Neil, and Nellie to you. As for the child in my belly right now, I'd like to keep it."To you, love isn't the most important thing in the world. Therefore, in the future, I'll no longer think of it as the most important thing either."It's…time to say goodbye. Let's not make this any more difficult than it has to."With that, she turned and walked away, with Joshua gaping at her in shock."Luna." As soon as Luna's hand wrapped around the door handle, Joshua furrowed his brows and said, "You said that the only reason you chose to return to the Landry family is Rosalyn. Does this mean that if Rosalyn dies, you'll come back to my side?"Luna's entire body stiffened when she heard this.She turned around and shot Joshua a cold glance. "I've only managed to reunite with my birth mother after all these years; are you trying to curse her?"Joshua frowned. "No, that's not what I meant…"From snippets of conversation with Christopher, h
Joshua Lynch…had killed…Mother?Luna felt as though something had crashed into the back of her head.She could not believe her ears.All the blood in her body rushed into her head. She clutched the servant's shoulders and exclaimed, "What are you saying? You're lying to me, aren't you? How can this…"How could Joshua have killed Mother?The servant bit her own lip and said tearfully, "Ms. Luna, how will I even dare to lie to you about something like this? Mrs. Landry is in the operation room now…and the police have captured Joshua Lynch."Luna almost lost her balance. She gripped the edge of the door frame tightly and forced herself to stand up. "How can this be…""Stop asking questions." Suddenly, Jim stormed upstairs and squatted in front of her. "Come on!"Luna paused for a moment, then quickly got onto Jim's back.She could not possibly walk downstairs by herself after receiving such shocking news.Jim carried Luna on his back and quickly strode downstairs. Luna stared
On top of that, Joshua had been covered in blood…Luna felt a chill go down her spine.She had loved this man for many years, so she knew just how cruel and heartless he could be when it came to doing business.However, she never expected that…Joshua would one day use this cruelty on her mother!Luna started shivering so badly that she wrapped her arms around herself.After a moment, she lifted her head to glance at Jim, who was driving. “Jim. Is Joshua…locked up by the police?”"Yes." Jim furrowed his brows and nodded, but after a split second, he shook his head and added, “He went to the police station himself, not to admit his guilt, but to file a police report.”Luna froze, then frowned and asked, “File a police report?”"Yes." Jim let out an exhale. “He filed a police report accusing Heather of killing Mother.”Luna froze for a moment, then turned around and echoed, “Heather?”“Yes.” Jim narrowed his eyes. “Joshua said that when he returned to the room the second time, M
The slap landed on Luna so harshly that her face was tilted to one side, and she could taste blood in her mouth.She could still hear Heather's furious voice, saying, “Luna! You shouldn't have come back in the first place! If you hadn't returned, Mother wouldn't have been killed by Joshua Lynch!”“Heather!” Charles' stern voice rang out. “Don't say nonsense like that. Luna had returned out of love for your mother, and she's already stopped seeing Joshua. She wasn't the one who had asked Joshua to do this!”Heather grew even more outraged when she heard this. She pointed at Luna and snapped, “Do you think she has nothing to do with this? Why don't you say for yourself, Luna?“What did you tell him? You had told him that you returned to our family because of Mother, so that's why he bore hatred toward her!“If anything bad happens to Mother, you'll be the culprit behind this. You don't deserve to be a member of the Landry family!”A twinge of pain shot through Luna's heart when she
Luna bit her lip and said in a low voice as she lay in Jim's arms, “Jim, it's fine.”Luna knew that Heather was just trying to use this incident as an excuse to get on her nerves.However, Jim refused to let this slide. “Heather, please don't think you can bully Luna on behalf of Mother just because you've been here longer than Luna! Let me tell you this: even if Mother can't protect her again in the future, I'm still her big brother, and I will protect her!“As long as I'm still alive, you won't be able to bully Luna. Remember that this is the Landry family, not the Gibson family!”Heather's entire body stiffened when she heard this.She bit her lip and glanced at Luna with an expression of hatred. This woman…What did she do to deserve all this?What made Luna so adored by others that she could bully Aura at her will and even end up meeting a man as good as Joshua Lynch?Why did Rosalyn and Jim protect her and obey her every whim and fancy, even after she had killed Aura?
