The entire room fell silent.Bonnie stared blankly at Luna's face, her entire body frozen in shock.A split second later, her face twitched, and she curled her lips into a bitter smile. "How is that even possible…"How could she have gotten pregnant?When she had gotten a checkup at the hospital, the doctor had told her that because of some complications while giving birth six years ago, she had lost most of her reproductive ability and only had less than a ten-percent chance of getting pregnant naturally.Because of this low probability, Bonnie had assumed that she was infertile.Because of this, she was extremely fond of Jim's two children and treated them like her own.She thought that Jim must have loved kids, considering he had two even before getting married.Ironically, she became infertile.Despite this, she still naively thought that as long as she treated Jim's children well enough, it would make up for the fact that she could not bear him a child of their own.Ther
Bonnie never thought that after her relationship with Jim turned sour, she would receive the news of her being pregnant.It seemed that fate had toyed with her yet again.Luna bit her lip as she stared at the pregnancy test kit in Bonnie's hand. "Did Jim…give you this because he wanted you to get pregnant?"Luna's voice finally pulled Bonnie back to reality.She nodded solemnly and let out a bitter smile. "Yes, but it seems that this child didn't arrive at the right time."Luna bit her lip and gripped Bonnie's hand tightly. "Maybe this child will become the key to you and Jim's reconciliation."She stared earnestly at Bonnie and continued, "Even though I'm Jim's sister, I still think this decision should be up to you."If you want to keep this child, we'll keep it, and even if Jim doesn't treat you well in the future, I'll help look after you."One day, he'll regain his lost memories of you."If…"The glimmer in Luna's eyes disappeared as she said, "Even if you don't want to
"But from the way you look now…" Luna could not help frowning as she glanced at Bonnie's fully-bandaged finger. "I think you'd better stay home and rest."Bonnie had yet to recover from her abdomen injury, and she had even suffered a fracture in her finger.Judging from the severity of her wounds, Bonnie should indeed stay home and rest.Bonnie, however, shook her head. "I'm fine. Dr. Laura gave me some medicine before she left, so I'm feeling much better now."With that, she pointed at the empty IV drip hanging above her head and offered her hand to Luna. "Since this kid belongs to Jim… I want to give it one last try, for the baby's sake."She watched Luna as she removed the cannula from her hand and smiled weakly. "Maybe I can give the child a proper home."Luna furrowed her brows. "But…"Bonnie herself had said that Jim's attitude toward her had been poor ever since their encounter at the hospital that morning.Therefore, even if Bonnie had followed her to Landry Mansion tha
"You eat; I'm done with my food."With that, Joshua stood up and left.As he brushed past Luna, Joshua's shoulder bumped forcefully against Luna's and almost forced her onto the ground.However, he did not even turn around and instead stomped upstairs as though he could not feel this.Luna remained motionless, glaring at Joshua's retreating figure as she clutched her aching shoulder.What was he mad about? Had he not said these exact words to Lucas that morning?"Why did you talk to him like that?" Theo shot Luna a helpless glance, then looked at the food on the table, which Joshua had barely even touched. "He had lost his appetite this morning because of his fight with you, and now he's refusing to eat…"If this goes on any longer, his body won't be able to take it."Luna pursed her lips slightly and, after helping Bonnie settle down, plopped down into her own seat. "I hadn't even done anything to irk him, yet he got on my nerves this morning and even blamed me for it!"The m
Luna frowned when she heard this. "When did I even say that?"Bonnie rolled her eyes at her and quickly took out her phone to show Luna their conversation from the night before. "Look!"Luna glanced at the screen, her frown still etched on her face. Lo and behold, the message read, [If the vengeance between the Landry and Lynch families no longer existed, will you choose to get back together with Joshua?]After reading these words a few more times, Luna finally knocked her forehead. "Had I misread the message?"She remembered that Bonnie had asked her whether she would choose to get back together with Joshua if the vengeance between their families continued to exist.Therefore, Luna had given her a direct answer of no.Why, then, did the question change?Why would she not want to be together with Joshua if they were not enemies?They had been through so much together and even shared four children, so why would she not choose him?Bonnie rolled her eyes when she saw Luna's sh
"I'll go downstairs to get you some more food.""No need." Joshua grabbed Luna's arm and, with a hint of satisfaction in his low voice, said, "You just spilled the food; it's not like it's inedible anymore."With that, he pulled her into his room and slammed the door closed behind her.Joshua removed his suit jacket and shirt elegantly, glancing at Luna at the same time. "Just put the tray on the table."Luna glanced at his desk, one littered with papers and folders full of Landry Group's information.Not only that, but there was even a handwritten note of Joshua's plan to defeat Landry Group in their upcoming business encounter.Luna furrowed her brows, tidied up Joshua's desk, and placed the tray onto it. "Are you planning to defeat Landry Group once and for all?""Yes." Joshua took off his shirt, exposing his lean and muscular body. He explained as he wiped himself clean with a towel, "Charlotte will probably get in touch with you today and try to get rid of you by forcing yo
Joshua's hand, which was holding his fork, froze in mid-air when he heard this.A split second later, he lifted his head to smile at Luna. "Okay."It had been a long time since he last tasted Luna's cooking.It had been a long time…since he felt at home.More than a year had passed since Luna was kidnapped by Hunter and brought to Merchant City.Because of this, Joshua had also been living in Merchant City for more than a year.Merchant City was thousands of kilometers away from Banyan City, and their food cultures and beliefs were as different as night and day.Truth be told, Joshua had been finding it difficult to adjust to this new lifestyle change, but he was willing to tolerate this for Luna.With Luna offering to cook for him, he had no reason not to accept.Luna pursed her lips and stared at Joshua, who was still eating, for a long time before finally saying, "Actually…what you saw of me and Bonnie's conversation last night…"That wasn't what I meant at all."Initiall
This time, Luna finally heard him correctly.She bit her lip, and the answer finally escaped from her mouth."I will."As soon as she said this, Luna suddenly realized she should not have answered so quickly, without even a single moment of hesitation.However, since the words had already gotten out, there was no room to regret it.Besides, this was the truth.Luna let out an exhale and stared at Joshua's face ardently. "Joshua, if the rivalry between the Lynch and Landry families ceased to exist, I will choose to be with you."Everyone knew just how much she loved him."In the past, I was even willing to leave everything behind in Sea City and go all the way to Banyan City to marry you."From that moment onward, I've known that there is no one else in this world that I, Luna Gibson, will love more than you."Luna let out an exhale and continued, "In the past, I never understood your actions, and I always thought you didn't love me back, but after that…"She glanced at the n
