After a few slaps, Neil’s face was swollen and puffed up.Only then did Aura feel a little relieved of her anger.She stood up and looked at Neil condescendingly. “Aren’t you smart? Didn’t you guess what I was trying to do? Why did you still blindly come over?”Neil looked at her. “If I did not come, you will try to lay your hands on Nellie or my Mommy. They are women, I am a man.”He should be the one to bear the suffering.His words made Aura sneered, “How courageous, but what use is there even if you’re smart? You’re still here getting a beating from me.”Neil winked at her. “Take a guess as to why I would be receiving a beating from you here?”Aura furrowed her brows but said nothing.Neil smiled a little. “Look downstairs.”Aura pursed her lips. She walked over to the window, pried the curtains apart, and glanced down below.“You called the cops?”“If I’m not wrong, Nellie was the one who called the cops.”Neil smiled flatly. He crossed his arms around his chest. Altho
“Not only for kidnapping me this time, but also trying to get Nellie killed the last time, also…”Neil narrowed his eyes. “Also the accident six years ago. You should pay for all the crimes you committed.”Aura’s body stiffened. She could not move.She lowered her eyes in a daze and looked fixedly at Neil’s small, palm-sized face. “You… even know about the incident six years ago?”Six years ago, this kid was still in Luna’s womb! “People won’t know what you did if you didn’t do them.” Neil smiled. “I know you colluded with Joshua and did bad things.”Aura furrowed her brows and looked at Neil closely.After a while, she smiled.He said that he knew she colluded with Joshua to do bad things, but, from the start, Joshua and she were from two different worlds.He has been trying very hard to draw a line between them, how could he possibly have colluded with her?Thus… Luna Gibson and her children thought that she did those things together with Joshua?Aura squinted her eyes.
Luna shuddered at Neil’s words.She pursed her lips and hugged Neil tightly. She wanted to say something but could not find her words.“But, Mommy…” Neil sniffled. He whispered feebly in Luna’s ears. “I’m a little tired. I’m going to sleep.”Then, Neil fell to the ground without any warning! When Luna came to her senses and tried to catch Neil, he was almost to the ground.A pair of large hands firmly caught Neil. Joshua immediately carried the unconscious Neil in his arms.When Luna came to her senses. She immediately stood up. “Thank you.” She reached out and wanted to take over Neil from him.Joshua slightly furrowed his brows. He lowered his gaze and looked at her, then he turned around and strode away. “Follow me.”Luna paused for a while before following him.“Aura! Aura!”The moment Luna got out, she bumped into Natasha running into the house like a maniac. The moment they passed by each other, Natasha slammed into Luna’s shoulder hard, but Natasha had no eyes for any
Later on, when she grew up, she understood that she could never take away her parent’s bias toward Aura.Thus, she learned from her parents to pamper and love Aura, so that they would be closer to each other.The few years that she was in a good relationship with Aura were also the years when she had the best relationship with her parents.At that time, she married a man that she loved, plus she also got the care of her parents.She thought that she was the happiest person on earth.In the end, she knew that the so-called happiness was short-lived.It was all because of Aura. Also, the man next to her.If he did not get sick of Aura, she might still be the one being pampered and loved.Soon, the car reached the hospital.Once the car stopped, Joshua immediately opened the car door and carried Neil down.He rushed into the hospital. “Doctor!”At that moment, it was early evening, the lights in the hospital were rather dim.The doctor on call immediately rushed out and led th
“Doctor, didn’t you say I have to take a drip?”Luna turned and glanced at the doctor. “Do you want to take it now?”The doctor frowned, then realized he might have misspoken, and left after leaving behind the words. “I’ll go prepare it now.”After the doctor left, Joshua lowered his eyes and looked at Neil who was still unconscious.Then, he turned his head and looked at his reflection in the glass windows.Somehow, they did… look alike.He studied his reflection in the mirror, a smile at the corners of his lips. “I wouldn’t have realized it if he didn’t say anything.”On the surface, Luna looked calm and collected, but deep down, she was panicking!Joshua was a very perceptive man; she was worried he would notice something.Previously, even though she successfully tricked him by using the excuse that she was Luna Gibson’s good friend, but the children…that would be hard to explain.Taking in a deep breath, she smiled, her eyes narrowing into thin crescent moons and glanced
But she was wrong.Neil’s room looked… richly decorated and luxurious too, almost the same as Nellie’s room.In the opulent and spacious room, Neil sat on his chair playing with a Rubik’s cube, looking cool wearing a mask and a hat.Seeing the two girls, one younger and the other older, enter the room, he smiled faintly, raising his eyes, and looked at his mother, “Did you get a good night’s sleep?”“Perfect.”Luna looked at Neil and her tears could not help but fall.He was always a prideful boy, he loved dressing up, and acting cool.But now, to successfully capture Aura, he purposely hurt himself like this.“Alright, don’t cry.” Neil laughed softly, “Men aren’t afraid of pain and getting hurt.”He raised his head and looked at Luna seriously. “But the police called this morning, they want you, as my guardian, to bring me along to the police station to make an official report.”He lowered his eyes to check the time, “It’s 9 a.m., if we leave now, we’ll be back in time for l
Hearing Luna mention Luna Gibson, Joseph frowned, lowering his voice, “If she still thinks of us as family, she would’ve come home a long time ago! Now, she’s playing all these games, acting so mysterious. She sent her daughter home, but as for herself, not even a piece of her hair has been seen.”Beside him, Natasha furrowed her brows too. “Ms. Luna, we’re discussing our youngest daughter with you, you don’t have to mention our eldest daughter, do you?”“Exactly.”Joseph hurriedly pulled the conversation back to the topic at hand. “Ms. Luna, we’re discussing Aura’s situation with you. Just name your price. As long as you properly comfort your son and prevent him from spouting nonsense, we can pay you however much you want. No matter what, Joshua is my son-in-law, money is not a problem.”Looking at the middle-aged couple in front of her, for a second, Luna did not want to admit they were her biological parents.“No matter how rich you are, I don’t want your money!”Neil frowned,
“Comparatively, you’re more tired than I am, aren’t you?”Her words made Aura pale slightly.But it lasted for a mere second.Then, she sighed and sneered, “It’s taken you six years to find out about all that?”Then, Aura shrugged. “I admit, I lost to you and that little devil, but that doesn’t mean you’ve won…”She leaned down, lay on the table, raised her head, and stared at Luna evilly. “Luna, you were too stupid. You turned yourself into something like this, there are no remaining signs of Luna, whether on your face or your body. Without any physical evidence, how are you going to prove you’re Luna Gibson, how are you going to return to Joshua’s side?”Luna frowned, a cold smirk lifting her lips. “Why would I return to his side?”“Hah.”Aura sneered, “If you don’t return to his side, how are you going to protect your children?”Looking at her crazed expression, Luna wanted to say something but was interrupted by Aura’s cold voice.“Time’s up.”She raised her head, looked
