Luna paused as she gazed back into Sean's grieving eyes. She wanted to tell Sean the truth, but she found herself struggling to.She opened her mouth as her voice disappeared in her throat. "Sean, you…"Luna knew that Sean had a crush on Bonnie, but she did not expect him to have such deep feelings for her. The sadness and despair in Sean's eyes were so strong that Luna could not bear to tell him the truth that would hurt him.Sean was like a wounded puppy, waiting for his owner to give the ultimatum. Luna sighed and turned her face to another side, unwilling to speak."Yes, Bonnie is marrying Jim today." Joshua stood up and pulled Luna into his arms, looking at Sean indifferently. "Sean, as Jim's biological brother and the godson of Charles and Rosalyn, you should be happy."Joshua then walked over and used his hand to straighten Sean's hair gently. "You should tidy up your image and wear something decent to attend your brother and sister-in-law's wedding."Every word that Joshu
"How is it not the same?" Sean was chasing a dead end and made mean, sarcastic comments. "Joshua surely won't give his blessings if you end up with another man. If he can't do it, then why is he acting like an adult to lecture me like this?"The living room was silent again.Joshua curled up his lips and looked at Sean's reddened eyes. "Did I say I'd give up?"He slowly walked toward Sean with a strong aura, one that was very suffocating. "Sean, it's not wrong for you to want to love and protect a woman—it's what every man thinks of. To protect and love the chosen woman, however, you have to be a formidable contender against your love rivals."If Luna is with another man, I'd compare myself with that man. If he truly is a better man than me and treats her better than me, I'd choose to let her go."It was then Joshua turned to look at Luna endearingly, solemnly. "After she left me, there were other men around her, but none of them could give her the happiness she wanted, so I didn'
Everyone, apart from Luna and Joshua, was shocked to see Nellie.Theo had no idea Nellie was in Merchant City, whereas Caleb and Rachel had never seen Luna and Joshua's daughter before.Rachel gazed as the small girl bearing a face similar to Joshua ran down the stairs. "Luna, this is…"Luna smiled and walked over to lift Nellie into her arms. "This is my eldest daughter, Nellie. Joshua and I had a conflict, and we both felt it was unsafe in Merchant City. She and my second son, Neil, had been staying in Banyan City ever since."Since we've mended our relationship and my parents had recovered and waited to see them, we had our friends at Banyan City send them here."She then pointed at Rachel and Caleb. "Nellie, this is Aunt Rachel and Uncle Caleb."Nellie looked at them, her gaze shifting back and forth, before smiling at them. Then, she smiled at them. "Aunt Rachel, Uncle Caleb. I saw both of you on the news!"Rachel was amused by how adorable Nellie was. "You saw us on the ne
"After Nigel cracked Uncle Jim's laptop, he noticed that it was full of materials from when Uncle Jim and Aunt Bonnie were in love. Both of them were deeply, madly in love with each other after all!"Joshua chuckled and patted Nellie's head. "You know what it's like to be in love?"After that, he looked at Sean and said plainly, "Come, let's go upstairs and have a look."Sean hesitated for a moment but still could not fight off the curiosity as he followed Joshua up the stairs.In the study, Neil was sitting in the corner as he read his book quietly, whereas Nigel was looking at different laptops and concentrating on writing his code. Both of them had the same appearance, but their aura was different. Neil was gentle and warm, akin to a ray of sunshine. On the contrary, Nigel was calm, indifferent, and mature.When the door opened, Luna looked at both of her sons, and for a minute, she did not want to interrupt them. However, Nigel was keen enough that he heard the door opening. H
Sean felt disturbed by Luna's question. He kept quiet as he did not know how to answer her question and what answer was the correct one.It was as if asking Jim—if he was back to his old self—who would give Bonnie her 'happily ever after.' The answer was very clear.Sean bit his lip and clenched his fists tightly. Seconds later, he looked at Luna, his eyes evidently red at this point. "When will Jim recover his memory? A day? Two days? Will it be in a year, or two?"What if he never remembers? Should Bonnie be tortured by him and wait for him to remember?"Luna furrowed at Sean's questions. Before she could answer, however, a man's voice coolly interjected, "It's not up to you to worry about that, Sean."'This low, deep tone…' Sean frowned and turned back unconsciously.Jim, standing behind him, was wearing a gold-trimmed white suit. He approached Sean like a gentleman with an indifferent smile on his face. "You just need to know that from today onward, Bonnie is your sister-in-l
Jim closed his eyes as regret weighed upon his heart heavily. 'Would…everything be different had I chosen not to believe in Charlotte, believing in Bonnie a little bit more instead? Bonnie has only six days left, and she's still in a coma. Are six days enough for me to repent and make up for all my sins toward her?'"Jim." Looking at how sorrowful Jim seemed, Rachel could not help but walk up to him and pat his shoulder. "There's a slight chance with Ms. Craig's condition—""Just a very small tiny chance," Joshua interrupted before Rachel could finish. He furrowed his brows and looked at Jim. "Although you only have six days left, you shouldn't spend it wallowing in regret. You should plan out nicely how you want to spend it with her. Even if she's not going to wake up, you should at least do whatever you could for her."All the while, the laptop was playing the video when Jim asked for Bonnie's hand in marriage during their video call. "These are enough to prove that Bonnie's willi
The familiar voice had Rachel lift her head, only to realize Theo was blocking their way with his arms spread out.He looked at Rachel coldly. "Dr. Liddell, since you've said that you hate people who lie, then I'm sure you won't lie either. Am I right?"Rachel furrowed her brows and looked at Theo helplessly. "Just say whatever you're thinking of. There's no need to twist and turn."Theo suddenly was speechless because of what Rachel said. He had imagined what reaction Rachel would have if he asked her, but he never expected her to be so direct.He took a deep breath and squinted, asking, "I just want to ask you… You said you were thrilled to be engaged with Caleb. Is that true?"This question had been like a curse that lingered in his mind after he eavesdropped on Rachel and Caleb talking about their engagement. He wanted to know what he and Caleb meant to Rachel respectively. 'Could she be so thrilled that she made mistakes in her work just because she got engaged with Caleb?'
"Admit it, Rachel. You still have feelings for me, don't you?"'She's not a heartless person; I'm still in her heart! Even if she's engaged to Caleb now, even if she is Caleb's fiancee, that's just a measure of expediency because I hurt her. She still has feelings for me!'With that thought, Theo's eyes brightened. 'I still have a chance, don't I? I have a chance to ask for forgiveness and be with her again!'The warmth from his hand and his passionate eyes got Rachel furrowing her brow. She remotely withdrew her hand and replied apathetically, "Theo, I admit that I'm not over you, and I'm not truly elated being with Caleb, but this doesn't mean anything. It only proves that I'm a very sentimental person, or perhaps, I'm a very loyal person when it comes to relationships."She lifted her head to stare at the man in front of her coldly. "You know me. Once I make a decision, I won't easily regret it. Marrying Caleb is a choice that I make after deep thought, and since I've agreed on
