Luna felt her entire body go cold when she heard Nellie's words.She wanted to rush forward and hug Nellie in her arms and tell her that Mommy was here.However…She could not do anything apart from turning around and wiping her tears.Mrs. Lincoln noticed that Luna was behaving strangely and quickly declared at the top of her lungs that she and Luna would go outside to bring Christopher more medicine. Then, she dragged Luna out of the yard.As she left, Luna could hear June's clear voice ring out, “Uncle Joshua, Nellie's Mommy has come just now.“When I was outside, I saw a car that looked like it belonged to Uncle Jim. Could Nellie's Mommy be in that car?”Luna grew nervous when she heard this.After being brought out of the yard, she quickly got onto the car parked outside and exclaimed, “Quick, Mr. Driver, drive away!”As soon as she got into the backseat, she rolled down the partition and started sobbing as she changed out of her uniform.She was a bad mother!She was w
Nigel was just a six-year-old child, and there was only so much he could do.If even the grownups were unwilling to try, what else could he do?Nigel let out a sigh and gripped his brother and sister's hands. “In that case, I'll be the one to take care of you two in the future.”As soon as he thought of this, Nigel lifted his head to stare at Joshua. “We want to go back to Banyan City.”The three of them were too young, and if Joshua chose to remain in Merchant City to fight the Landry family, in the case where they became ruthless, the children would become their hostage to hold against Joshua.If they returned to Banyan City, even though their father and mother would not be by their side, they would at least be safe and would not become a burden.Joshua froze for a moment, then nodded. “Alright then. Shall I ask Uncle Jude to send you home tomorrow?”Nigel nodded and closed his eyes.Neil let out a sigh and walked over to pat Joshua's shoulder gently. “Mr. Lynch, we'll be wai
When Luna entered Tea Cottage, the first thing that came flying her way was the cushion that Bonnie had thrown.She did not manage to dodge it in time, and the cushion landed smack on her face.It did not hurt at all, but Luna's tears still fell.It was as though all the emotions she had been suppressing for the entire night had finally erupted.She squatted at the door and started crying like a child.Inside the room, both Jim and Bonnie grew terrified at this sight. Jim immediately strode over, picked Luna up, and placed her on the sofa. “What's wrong?”Bonnie quickly approached her nervously. “I…I didn't throw it very hard at all! Why…”“She must be upset because of something else,” Jim reassured Bonnie with a frown, then reached out to stroke Luna's head. “Come on, tell me what's wrong.”Luna could not stop herself from wrapping her arms around Jim's waist and burying her head in his chest. “Jim…I'll never be able to make it up to my children…“I chose the Landry family an
Bonnie hated herself for being so loathsome and shameless.She hated herself for ever dreaming of being together with another man even after she was hurt by Jason.…“Will you marry Bonnie?” asked Luna in a low voice as she sat in the car back to Landry Mansion, staring out the window.“No,” Jim replied impassively. “I've already promised Harvey that I’ll only marry his mother.”Luna furrowed her brows upon hearing this. She turned to glare at Jim in the passenger seat. “If you don't intend on marrying her at all, then why did you…”“I was drunk.” Jim rubbed his brows in frustration. “Besides, I wasn't behaving normally last night. I've already contacted Christopher, and he'll be coming to Landry Mansion to draw my blood to send to the lab. I suspect I've been spiked.”Luna was amused by this. “Spiked? Didn't you only drink the wine and eat the food with Heather and me last night?”Jim opened his eyes and gazed at Luna through the rearview mirror. “Don't forget that Heather had
“The reason why I came to Landry Mansion so early is to find Luna, of course,” replied Malcolm calmly despite having been thrown such a sharp question by Jim. “I haven't been feeling well these few days, and I only found out about what happened to Mrs. Landry this morning.”With that, he lifted his head to glance at Luna. “Luna has been so close with Mrs. Landry ever since she returned to the Landry family, and now that something like this has happened to her…I was worried that Luna would be upset, so I came here immediately to check on her.”Suddenly, his tone changed as he glanced at Luna and Jim. “However, as soon as I arrived, I realized that Luna wasn't home. I thought she had probably spent the night in the hospital, so I asked my servant to take me away.”With that, he sighed and shot Jim a somewhat displeased look. “That was what happened. Do you have any other questions, Master Landry?”Jim sneered. “Is that really what happened?”Malcolm chuckled and replied, "Well, what
“I saved you six years ago, helped you get better and undergo plastic surgery, and even helped take care of your children. Why do you think I did all of that?“You told me you wanted to return to Banyan City to find Joshua so that Nigel could be cured, but what happened in the end after Nigel was cured?“You always thought about Joshua and never considered me at all.”Malcolm stared at Luna with such a cold look in his eyes that Luna could not even associate this man with the same kind, gentle man who had treated her well in the past.“Luna, I've sacrificed enough for you, and even a domesticated rabbit will bite its owner in desperation.“No matter how mild-mannered a person is, they’ll never be able to withstand disappointment like this countless times.“Therefore, I had indeed sent my men to kill him so that he’d get the message and leave Merchant City, my territory.“I've loved you for so many years and sacrificed so much for you over the years. I, too, long for a happy endi
Inside Landry Mansion's living room.Heather had finished eating her fruits and was about to go upstairs.Jim, who was sitting close to her, immediately stuck his leg out between the sofa and the coffee table to block her path. “Why are you going back to your room so soon after waking up?”Jim's sharp gaze swept across the hickeys on Heather's neck, and he curled his lips into a small smile. “Have you been home the entire night last night?”Heather rolled her eyes at him. “Why is it any of your business?”“Well, if you were home, then of course it's my business,” Jim smirked and pointed at Heather's neck. “Crazy night?”Heather froze for a moment, then glanced at her reflection in the mirror next to her. Her guess was correct.There were bright red hickeys all over her neck!She bit her lip and quickly used her hand to shield her neck. “I wasn't feeling well, so I got someone to perform some cupping on me. It must’ve been that.”That b*stard Malcolm! He still liked leaving m
Heather grew even more outraged when she heard this. “Jim Landry! It's no wonder you can't find the mother of your child, nor can you find your one true love! You're destined to be on your own for the rest of your life!“I hope you'll never be able to find that girl from your childhood and the mother of your child!”Jim's expression darkened upon hearing this.He strode over and wrapped his hand around Heather's neck, rage spitting out of his eyes like flames. “Why don't you say that again?”This time, he had grasped Heather's neck tightly, and within a few seconds, Heather's face turned purple from deoxygenation.Luna and Christopher quickly stopped him. “Jim!”The two of them pulled Jim away from Heather, and he finally let go of Heather.Heather, who was finally able to breathe, clutched her neck and let out a few violent coughs before turning and storming up the stairs.Christopher and Luna sat a furious-looking Jim on the sofa.“Why are you so mad at her?” Christopher s
