Jim was afraid that it was indeed a hallucination, that Bonnie did not actually move. He was afraid that it was, once again, a false hope, so he quietly repeated what he said.This time, no matter what Jim said or did, Bonnie's fingers did not even quiver. 'Maybe it was a trick of the mind after all.' He smiled bitterly and helped tuck Bonnie into the blanket nicely before he left.What he did not see, however, was that a lone tear fell from the corner of Bonnie's eye when he turned around.…Jim was awake the entire night, organizing all the things Butler Fred did for his family. It turned out the butler had done so many things for him and his family.Previously, Fred had thought Heather was the real Ms. Landry, so he cared for her deeply and even associated Heather to attack Jim business-wise. However, when Luna was back in the Landry family, he knew that Heather never had the chance to hold any power in the family. His attitude toward Heather changed drastically. Hence…Jim ru
After breakfast…"You're saying that my mom had no idea at all when Granny Lynch was poisoned?"Luna was so shocked that she could not close her mouth as Joshua told her about all the information Jim sent him. She looked at Joshua astonishingly, her voice faltering as she added, "So… When mom said she didn't know Granny Lynch was poisoned, she didn't say it because she was afraid to sabotage our relationship?"Looking at how shocked Luna was, Joshua could not help but smile. "I thought she purposely didn't mention it because she didn't want to affect our relationship." Joshua looked up. "Looking back at it now, however, I don't think she's that kind of person. Since she could honestly tell Jim about his birth mother when he asked, I don't think she's a person who likes to lie."Luna bit her lip and nodded silently. "You're right. Mom never likes to tell lies, especially to the kids."At first, Jim had always thought he was Rosalyn's son. When he found out that his birth mother was
Under those circumstances, it made sense if Luna's parents wanted to poison Granny Lynch to exact vengeance for murdering Colin Landry. She believed if her parents truly had done so, Joshua would understand it.Nevertheless, it would be much better if Rosalyn and Charles had nothing to do with Granny Lynch's demise.This thought had crossed Luna's mind before. However, it had only been almost a year since she returned to the Landy family. She did not have the same hatred the Landry family had against the Lynch family, and she also did not have the right to comment on it.Hence, if she could avoid discussing Granny Lynch being poisoned, she would avoid it at all costs. Since there were some things that one could not solve, the only way out was to avoid facing them.To her amazement, she chose to escape facing reality, but that was not what Joshua wanted. Joshua was a person who was very clear about his love and hate for people. He loved Luna, and he also loved Granny Lynch.Althoug
Looking at how Joshua furrowed his eyebrows, Luna felt at a loss as to how to continue the topic. Her words were lodged at her throat, unable to utter them.'I don't think he realizes what I truly care about. He probably just thinks that I'm throwing a tantrum. But am I?' Luna did not know the answer to that, either. What she knew was that she was in a bad mood, and a terrible one at that.She took a deep breath and gazed deeply at Joshua's face. Then, she smiled. "You have no idea what I'm talking about. Forget about it." She stood up."You need me to help you deal with Butler Fred and Mickey, right? To get them to confess to all the crimes they committed? Let them admit that they were the ones who poisoned Granny Lynch, right?"Joshua squinted, not understanding how Luna's mood soured so quickly. "What's wrong with you?"He cared more about Luna than having Butler Fred and Mickey admit all the wrongdoings. After being together for so many years, Joshua knew a thing or two about
Luna emotionlessly looked into Joshua's eyes coldly and spoke curtly, "You never did make true of this vow, be it in the things that you think of, the problems that needed to be solved, and your suspicion toward anything. You'll only tell me when you need me to know, and otherwise, you won't tell me."Joshua furrowed his brows tightly. "You're going overboard, Luna. It's just a small problem. Why do you—""Am I?" Luna interrupted coldly. "We're talking about Butler Fred and Mickey now, but what about in the future? If there are more dangers in the future, will you tell me? Do you think I have the right to know? Do you think you'll be honest and tell me?"The more Luna went on, the more worked up she became. "You might think it's just a small matter, but if you're not even willing to share this small matter with me, then what about bigger issues? Will you share it with me and let me know?"Joshua frowned again as he listened to Luna. After a while, he sighed and grabbed Luna's hand
Gwen might not understand what Luke meant, but Joshua knew exactly what Luke was talking about.Joshua's eyebrows furrowed as he looked at Luke with a passive expression. "Having a healthy body is not the reason for you to do whatever you want."Joshua then turned and looked at Gwen. "Am I correct?"Gwen was so focused on Luna's expression that she missed Joshua's conversation with Luke. Thus, being questioned caught her off-guard as she eventually stammered, "Y—Yes."Gwen then whispered into Luke's ear, so softly that only he could hear her, "What were you talking about just now?" Her cheeks became tinted with pink like ripe peaches.Luke had a hard time restraining himself from nibbling her cheek. He would have held Gwen in his arms tightly and kissed her until they were both out of breath had they not been in Joshua's home at the moment.Alas, there they were.Luke curled up his lips and pinched Gwen's cheeks tenderly. How he adored her. "Nothing. We were just talking about h
While Luna and Gwen walked hand-in-hand as they made their way toward the garden, Joshua and Luke sat on the couch and watched their figure gradually disappear. Both men could not fight off the smile that crept to their faces.Joshua was happy that Luna could finally laugh heartily. Although she wanted to laugh, she pretended to be angry because of her ego. Since Gwen was here, this silly woman could finally let go of her burden and expressed her emotions freely.What made Luke happy was seeing Gwen happy with her friend. He did not have much time left, and there was nothing happier than seeing Gwen happy with the time he had left.When the two women finally disappeared out of their sight, Joshua finally regained his senses and looked at Luke indifferently. "You made up your mind after all?"Luke was still looking in the direction Gwen left. He was lost in his thoughts before Joshua asked him the question. He lifted his eyes and looked back at Joshua. "Haven't I said it enough? I'v
"That's not going to happen." Luke squinted as he stared at Joshua. "Do you think I'll let her know that my heart is in her body?"He shook his head. "I won't let her know, and she won't find out about it—never, ever in her life. She'll only know me as the man who hurt her repeatedly, rendered a prisoner after a fight with another gang, and finally as the man who tore her into pieces."Maybe she'll remember me in the future and pay respect to me at my grave, but I'll never allow her to feel guilty and unhappy because of me."Luke then sighed and switched to a more comfortable position on the couch. "I've thought it out, and everything is planned. All I want is for you and Luna to take care of Gwen once I'm gone. Also, maybe find a man who'll treat her well. I can't bear to see her be alone."He lowered his head and started to meddle with the fruits on the fruit platter while languidly commenting, "She's too fragile. If there's no one there to help her, she can never handle things o
