Luna did not notice the change in Samuel's face. Instead, she exhaled and continued, "We saw the people inside the video, so we wanted to ask you how you got your hands on these videos and…who the man named Star is."Luna had lived at Quinn Mansion for six years and, at one point, been close to Malcolm, but despite that, she never heard of anyone who went by the name Star.According to the video, Star would have been in his mid-forties at present day, and he appeared to have been the mastermind of Lucy's torture and death.Even though the man in the video who looked identical to Christopher had tormented Lucy cruelly, he turned submissive and obedient as soon as Star appeared.That man was Rosalyn's classmate and Christopher's father, Larry.If Rosalyn had awoken from her coma, they would be able to find out Star's true identity.However, since Rosalyn was unable to answer their doubts, Luna had no choice but to seek the answers from Samuel.Samuel furrowed his brows when he hea
"The person I owe the most ever since I left home is Malcolm. Despite being his father, I've never shown him the love he deserves, but now, I finally have an opportunity to do so."Therefore, to protect my son's safety, I'll never say another word about the incident that happened in the past."I apologize for making you come all this way for nothing."With that, Samuel took out two copies of The Bible from a nearby cabinet and placed them in front of Luna. "I hear that you recently lost a daughter, so these are for you."Praying for your deceased loved ones will allow them to pass on to Heaven."Joshua, who had been silent all this while, could not help snickering when he heard this. "Do you think just by praying, you'll be able to make up for your past mistakes, Father?"As he said this, Joshua inched closer to Samuel and whispered coldly, "Why are you so unwilling to talk about the past, Father? You claim that it's to protect Malcolm, but the thing is, the people who are threat
Charles had told Luna before that Lucy was not a sociable person and therefore did not know many people.The last time she and Gwen came to find Samuel, Samuel had also mentioned that at one point, he had almost become the third wheel between Lucy and Charles.This was because he and Charles had been best friends in the past, and before that, Lucy had mistaken everything that Charles had done for her as Samuel's doing, which led to her nearly ending up being with Samuel.If one had to pinpoint the person Lucy had most likely cheated on Charles with…it was Samuel.As soon as she thought of this, Luna felt her head hurt even more. She turned to look at Joshua. "Still, Samuel doesn't want to give us more information now, and on top of that, we can't confirm the identity of this person named Star. The only thing we know about him is that he was my mother and Larry's classmate…"Rosalyn's teacher had passed away a long time ago. To top that off, Larry had already gone insane, whereas R
Luna returned to Joshua's house with many thoughts swirling in her mind.As soon as they entered the house, Luna smelled the fragrant scent of home-cooked food.She followed the smell into the kitchen and discovered that Bonnie and Theo had prepared an entire table full of dishes.Luna froze when she saw this.Had Bonnie not been in a bad mood that day?She had been crying ever since Christopher and Jim came to visit this morning, so how had she recovered so quickly that she was able to cook and make such a hearty feast?"Come help us." Theo, who was bringing steaming plates of food out of the kitchen, caught sight of Luna staring at Bonnie in bafflement. He quickly summoned her into the kitchen to help them.Luna took off her coat, frowning, shoved it into Joshua's hands, and strode into the kitchen.She asked in a low voice as she took another plate from Theo, "What's going on with Bonnie? Is she trying to distract herself from the pain?"Theo furrowed his brows, but before
Just as Luna thought that Sean would bring disappointing news, a young boy's clear, loud voice rang out from the phone, "We're already on our way! Aunt Bonnie, this man you sent to pick us up is a genius!"He was so good at driving that he managed to lose Mr. Jim's men almost immediately! It feels so surreal to be in a car chase like this!"A grin spread across Bonnie's face when she heard Harvey's cheerful voice, "That's great to hear! Me and your Aunt Luna are waiting for you, so you'd better come home quick!"Harvey nodded. "Okay! I also brought a surprise for Aunt Luna!"With that, he hung up the phone.Bonnie put down the phone in relief and returned to the kitchen to make some more food.Meanwhile, Luna was a little baffled by the entire exchange.She never thought that Sean would have been capable of picking up Harvey and Shelly before Jim's men could and had even lost them in a car chase.After all, Sean was just a young mechanic in his twenties, and it was not easy for
Somewhat flustered by Luna's reaction, Nigel lifted his head to glance at Joshua, who stood at the door. "Are you going to just watch, Mr. Lynch?"Joshua curled his lips into a smile, leaned against the door frame, and teasingly answered, "You're the one who made her cry, so it's your responsibility to make her smile again. I'm not going to get involved in this."Nigel rolled his eyes at him and gently patted Luna's shoulder. "That's enough now, Ms. Luna. I'm starving."Luna froze for a moment, then let go of him.She lifted her head and discovered that Bonnie, too, had started crying while embracing Harvey.Harvey let out a sigh and gently patted Bonnie's back in reassurance. "It's okay if you feel like crying. I…"He glanced in Nigel's direction and explained, "I only found out what had happened in Merchant City after Nigel showed the information to me on the plane. I can't believe that…you and Mr. Jim had ended up like this, but don't worry—"He reached out to pat Bonnie's ba
Joshua furrowed his brows as he walked over to Luna and lowered his head to glance at Shelly.He had never seen Nellie when she was a baby before, and therefore, he could not understand why Luna appeared so excited at this moment.He gave the child a once-over and smiled. "She's as adorable as Nellie.""Is that the only thing you have to say about her?" Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something when she caught sight of a crying Bonnie.All of a sudden, the words got caught in her throat.She knew how much Bonnie loved this baby, and she could not bring herself to tell Joshua that this child could be theirs right in front of Bonnie."I'll take her." Bonnie wiped her tears, strode over to Luna, and took the baby from her. Then, she pointed at the table of food in the dining room and glanced at Joshua and Luna, smiling. "You two must be hungry, having been out all day. Why don't you guys eat with Harvey, June, and Nigel?"I'll look after Shelly for now and join you guy
Could it be that this woman with whom Jim had borne a child did not exist?Could she and Joshua be Shelly's real parents instead?The more Luna thought about this, the more likely it seemed. Otherwise, there would be no way of explaining why Shelly resembled Joshua so much."Luna?" Joshua's low voice quickly pulled Luna back to reality.She lifted her head in confusion. "Yes?"As soon as she did this, she suddenly realized that the three children and Theo had already finished their meal and were seated on the sofa, chattering about the news on TV.The only two people left in the dining room were Joshua and her.Joshua shot her a somewhat helpless look, then placed some more food on her plate. "Something on your mind?"Luna paused for a moment, shook her head, then nodded.She had no intention of revealing what she was thinking about to Joshua yet.She was worried that after voicing her doubts to Joshua, he would approach the child and catch a glimpse of her more often.Luna
