Luna was astonished to hear Lily’s words. Why would Adrian Lynch want to talk to Joshua about her? Was she not just a resigned maid to the Lynch family? What was there to talk about?Joshua was just as surprised. He shot Luna a disapproving frown and turned back to look at Lily. “Ask the chefs to prepare fried chicken,” he ordered.Lily nodded after a moment’s hesitation. She linked hands with the two children, and the trio entered the house together. Lucas also left to park the car in the garage. Joshua and Luna were the only two people left standing in front of Blue Bay Villa, though Joshua did not seem to be in a rush. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and proceeded to light one. Then, he leaned casually against the pillar and took a drag on his cigarette. The smoke made his unsmiling face look even colder and unapproachable.Joshua fixated his steely gaze on Luna and sneered, “I guess you decided to target my father instead since you couldn’t get any confidentia

“Lily mentioned that you’ve been waiting for over an hour now?” Joshua took off his jacket and handed it over to a servant. He lowered himself onto the couch and planted his arm gracefully on the leather armrest. “You wanted to talk to me?”“I do,” Adrian replied. He glanced at Luna and smiled. “It’s okay, we’ll talk next time.”“I probably won’t even be interested in hearing about it next time,” said Joshua as he crossed one slender leg over the other. “Tell me now.” Joshua had never really been fond of his father, much less had a close relationship with him. The way he talked to his father at that moment felt no different from talking to a subordinate.Adrian never expected that Joshua would behave like that; he did not even bother to show any respect toward him. Adrian remained silent for a moment before giving a wry smile. “Alright, I’ll just come right out and say it.” He glanced at Luna and cleared his throat. “It’s about Ms. Luna. I’m sure you know that I’m a jewelry desi

Alarm bells rang in Luna’s head. “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she immediately denied.“You know exactly what I’m talking about.” Adrian shifted his position and leaned back gracefully against the couch. “Ms. Luna, please don’t forget. I was once a jewelry designer myself before Joshua’s mother passed away. Besides, I have a lot of connections in this industry.”He curled his lips into a smile before he continued, “I’ve read through your résumé. You tried to conceal your true identity, so I’m sure the last thing you want is for me to expose you here.”Luna frowned. After the initial wave of shock passed, she now felt strangely calm. She looked at Adrian warily and said in a low voice, “How did you know?”Why was Adrian investigating her?“In case you’re wondering, I wasn’t investigating you on purpose.” Adrian let out a small laugh. “I know that Nellie is the true identity of the famous jewelry designer known as Y, and because of this, I did a lot of research about h

In the kitchen, Lily was preparing fried chicken with the other servants.“Ms. Luna,” Lily greeted with a smile when she noticed Luna entering. “Fried chicken is so oily and unhealthy. I don’t understand why children like it so much.”Luna frowned and glanced at the food. Lily was right; it did look quite oily.Luna recalled that there were some leftover ingredients in the fridge from when she made mushroom soup last time. She took a deep breath, put on an apron, and started preparing mushroom soup.“Ms. Luna.” It was rare that the both of them could talk in private like this, so Lily heaved a deep sigh and began, “Actually, Mr. Quinn…”“Shh.” Luna frowned and stopped her from continuing. “You’re the new maid here at Blue Bay Villa, and if someone discovers the relationship between you and Malcolm, they’ll think that you’re spying for him,” muttered Luna under her breath as she prepared the ingredients skilfully. Lily froze at her response. Her face turned pale. “Do you… not w

“Delicious fried chicken!” The fried chicken was served ten minutes later, and Nellie hopped around in glee. Neil was just as elated, but he still snuck an apprehensive glance at Luna. “Mommy…”“You can eat,” said Luna with a small smile. She was already seated at the dining table.“Here you go, Sirs. Have a taste of this mushroom soup,” said Lily enthusiastically as she set down bowls of soup in front of everyone at the table. “Ms. Luna was afraid that fried chicken alone would be too heavy, so she made this mushroom soup herself!”Adrian picked up a spoonful of soup and took a sip. “Not bad.”Joshua, however, sat in silence. He caught a glimpse of Luna, who had been trying to keep her right hand under the table and out of sight. “What’s wrong with your hand?”Luna shot him an impassive glance. “Nothing. I’m just not hungry.”“Not hungry, or did you injure yourself?” Joshua’s dark eyes seemed to see right through her. “Lift your hand.”Luna frowned. She did not want to do as

Joshua frowned upon hearing this and sternly replied, “We’ll see in the future.”“Okay...” Nellie lowered her head in disappointment.Adrian could not take the sight of that, though. “Come, Nellie, I’ll let you feed me instead!”Nellie’s face lit up. She picked up her bowl and sat in front of Adrian. “Open your mouth, Granddad!” Adrian grinned at her and opened his mouth obediently. A moment later, Luna had finished eating, so Neil joined Nellie in feeding their grandfather together. Adrian initially wanted to object to this, but he could not resist denying Nellie and seeing her crestfallen expression, so he let them do whatever they wanted.Luna had finished her meal, so she left the table and sat down on the couch. She whipped out her phone and was about to check the news when she suddenly felt the cushion next to her sink. Joshua had lowered his tall and slender body onto the seat next to her.“Give me your hand,” he ordered in a low voice. Luna immediately extended her r

Joshua stared back at Luna in silence.After a while, he shot her a glance and answered impassively, “I have my plans.”“Mr. Lynch.” Luna let out a deep breath. “I know that you’re probably showing Ms. Gibson mercy because you have a close relationship with her. You’ve known her for a long time, and it’s understandable you’re finding it difficult to punish her for what she’s done. However, she did do something wrong, and she deserves to pay the price for it. If you can’t bear to do anything to her, you can pass all the evidence to the police, and they can take care of it.”Luna’s gaze never wavered from Joshua as she tried to suppress the rage in her heart, continuing slowly, “Attempted murder isn’t a death sentence. If she gets convicted, she only has to spend a few years in prison. Perhaps by the time she gets released, Nellie would’ve already grown up and can protect herself. She won’t face the same threat that she’s facing now anymore.” Luna heaved a sigh and frowned at Joshua

Luna stood outside the pharmacy and looked through the glass door at Neil as she sighed helplessly. It was difficult at times for her to believe that her three angels—Nigel, Neil, and Nellie—were Joshua’s children. That man did not deserve to have such obedient children.“Mommy.” Luna had spaced out, and by the time she snapped out of her daze, Neil had gotten out of the pharmacy with a tube of medicinal ointment at hand.He grabbed hold of Luna’s hand. “Let’s go home. I’ll help you apply the medicine!” He stayed silent for a moment before he lifted his head to look at her. “Don’t be too bothered about that scumbag. We can still achieve what we want even without him!”Luna sighed and clutched his hand tightly. “I believe you.” As long as her children were with her, she believed she could overcome every obstacle that came her way.…Perhaps it was a tiring day that as soon as she got home and applied the ointment onto her wound, Luna immediately laid down on her bed and fell into

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
