After ranting after Jim in her mind, Bonnie could not help feeling concerned about Luna.She glanced at the child before her.Jim was right. Luna was a person who cared about her children very much, so she would definitely get upset every time she saw this baby.After contemplating for a moment, Bonnie dialed Gwen's number.…After hanging up with Bonnie, Jim leaned against the sofa and closed his eyes.He could not help recalling the annoyed tone of Bonnie's voice through the phone.He curled his lips into a smile. He could even imagine how Bonnie looked; her face would turn scarlet whenever she was furious.Finally, he could not help letting out a chuckle.For some reason, this rude woman was somehow quite adorable when she was angry.…Luna laid in her room for two days.During these two days, apart from eating, drinking, and going to the toilet, she had been lying on her bed for the remainder of the time, staring at the ceiling.Jim, worried that she would wallow in he
"I… Luna and I share the same father." Jim let out a sheepish grin and did not dare to meet Joshua's gaze. "So it's not impossible that our children…look very alike."Luke, standing next to them, guffawed when he heard this. "Don't all babies look the same? Besides, how old is Nellie? How can she remember what she used to look like as a baby?"With that, he patted Jim's shoulder and said, "You seem to be a little nervous, aren't you?"Jim pursed his lips and let out a slight cough. "No, I'm not."Joshua could not help furrowing his brows when he noticed the look on Jim's face. He could not help but feel that Jim was hiding something from him.All of a sudden, one of the servants came out and told them, "Sirs, Ms. Larson said that since she hasn't seen Ms. Luna in a long time, she wants to spend some time catching up with her, but as soon as Ms. Luna sees Mr. Lynch, she’ll lose control of her emotions. Therefore…"The servant paused and continued, "Ms. Larson hopes that the three
As soon as she got out of the car, Heather frowned and remarked, "This place is so rural that even the air stinks."The servant standing next to her immediately understood what she was saying and quickly sprayed some pregnancy and infant-friendly disinfectant and perfume in the air to both purify and deodorize the air around them.This setup looked extremely extravagant. Not only did the servant spray the perfume on Heather and the baby, but even around the yard as well as the guards and servants waiting at the door. When Gwen placed the last dish on the table underneath the umbrella in the yard, she could not help frowning as she caught sight of this scene. She strode out the gate and shot Heather a displeased look. "Who on earth are you?"Heather furrowed her brows and swept her glance over Gwen, who wore simple-looking clothes and an apron. A contemptuous smirk played on her lips. "You're just a maid, so what business is it of yours to ask me who I am?"As she said this, s
Luna's hand, which had been holding her cutlery, stiffened when she heard this.She lifted her head to stare at Heather, pale-faced.Before she could even speak, the servant named Lorraine brought the child over to Luna. "Ms. Luna…"Luna gritted her teeth and turned her head away, refusing to look at the baby. "How dare you, Heather!"Gwen suddenly realized that the woman, dressed head-to-toe in luxury items, who had come to stir up trouble was none other than the Landry family's fake daughter, Heather!She narrowed her brows, stormed up, and shoved Lorraine away from Luna. "Get away from her!"Luna had just managed to get over her grief of losing a child, but Heather just had to show her a baby girl that had been born the same time as Luna's.What was she trying to do, if not to bring up Luna's bad memories?Gwen had not used much strength when pushing Lorraine away at all. All she wanted to do was to get her further away from Luna, but for some reason, Lorraine fell onto the
Heather bit her lip and said with an upset look as she tried to coax the baby in her arms, "Father, can't you smell the air? Doesn't it stink to you?"Even though Luna can take it, but I, as a person who had been taking care of herself at home, can't stand this smell at all."As for the disinfectant and perfume, rural places like this have plenty of germs and viruses. Riley has just turned a month old, and her immune system is still weak, so is it wrong of me to ask my servant to disinfect the air?"On top of that, I know the disinfectant smells terrible, so I let them spray some perfume to freshen it up. Is that wrong of me?"Besides, Starhill Hotel is the best hotel in Merchant City, and Malcolm insists on giving me only the best. Should I reject his offer just because Luna has been there in the past?"Finally, how outrageous it is to accuse me of trying to provoke Luna. I had just given birth, and as my sister, Luna, should be the one who comes to visit me at mine and Malcolm's
As soon as she said this, Charles suddenly realized that he had no way of answering Luna's questions.He turned his head away, refusing to meet Luna's clear, sharp gaze. Charles raised his clenched fists and let out a slight cough. He stared at the scenery in the yard, tilting his head away from Luna, and said slowly, "Luna, I know you are still absorbed in the grief of losing your baby, but your child's death has nothing to do with Heather at all."Heather's intention of bringing the child over to visit you and Mother was out of kindness.."With that, he turned to stare at Luna. "The way you and your friend treated her, as well as how you pushed the servant holding Riley. Don't you think it was hurtful to do so?""Was it?" Luna turned around, sat down underneath the umbrella, and started eating her breakfast with Gwen. "Well, if you think it was hurtful of me to do so, then don't you think what she did hurt me as well?"Charles furrowed his brows and replied, "Luna, if you thin
"After all, if you didn't have the heart to manage the family's business, you wouldn't be good at it anyway, but now, I just need you to put on an act and attend Malcolm and Heather's wedding and give them your blessings. Are you even unwilling to do just that?"The more Charles spoke, the angrier he got. "I must've spoiled you too much!"Luna curled her lips into a smirk. "Since Heather and I are so different and you are so disappointed in me, Mr. Landry… Why did you even insist that I return to the family? Why did you force me to swear that I'd never see Joshua again?"She elegantly set down her cutlery and continued, "I thought that you had done all that because you truly liked me and wanted to treat me like a real daughter, but I guess…"She sneered. "I guess the reason you wanted me to come back…was because my identity at that time was both Joshua Lynch's ex-wife and Malcolm Quinn's fiancée, huh?"At that time, I was truly useful to the Landry family, but now that I have lost
Rosalyn's finger twitched next to her. Riley, who had finally stopped crying, stared at Rosalyn's finger curiously and reached out to grab hold of it.As soon as she extended her hand, Heather stopped her and said, sneering, "Riley, you shouldn't touch everything you see. That's bad luck right there."With that, she stood up with the child in her arms and stared at Rosalyn from her height, grinning from ear to ear. "Initially, I regretted not killing you instantaneously and instead, left you one final breath, but now, seeing how pitiful you look, I think I made the right call."If you died that day, how can you feel the pain of watching me play your husband and daughter right in the palm of my hands?"The more she said, the more delighted she got, and finally, she handed the baby to a nearby servant and strode out of the room.In the yard, Charles was still glaring at Luna, his face red with rage. "Luna, I've been clear; you have to attend your sister and Malcolm's wedding in
