“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
The butler’s words made Joshua startle violently.He glanced at the butler with disbelieving eyes. “Come again… who’s back?”“Joshua, I’m back.”A woman’s voice rang faintly, clear and crisp.Joshua frowned, instinctively looking in the direction where the voice came from.His deep-set eyes paused, pupils shrinking violently.Luna Gibson!That’s right!The woman in front of him was Luna Gibson.He had been dreaming about this face for six years!Seeing him looking at her in a daze, a hint of self-satisfaction flashed through her eyes.Then, she cocked her head to the side, and smiled at him. “Why are you looking at me like that, don’t you welcome me?”“No…”For the first time, Joshua who was always cold, arrogant, and reserved, felt nervous.His heart beat wildly in his chest.After a long moment, he finally sucked in a deep breath, gathered his thoughts, strode toward her, and pulled her into his arms.“You’re finally home!”The warmth radiating off his body made a col
“She’s your biological mother.”“She’s not!”The little girl was so agitated she almost burst into tears. “My Mommy doesn’t look like that, she’s not!”Joshua frowned again, then turned to throw a glance at the woman in front of her. “Lulu, this…”The woman closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, “I knew this would happen…”She took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, looking at Nellie sadly. “After I gave birth to my two children Nellie and Neil, my body became so weak and I never had the chance to nurse myself back to health. Then, once, when I was distracted, someone kidnapped my children…” As she talked, she wiped at her tears. “She was a jewelry designer, I met her in the hospital. In the beginning, she was great to me, I trusted her completely, but I didn’t expect her to…when she found out you were the father of my children, she kidnapped them…”As she talked, her despair grew and so did her tears. “All these years, I hid my identity, changed my name to Alice, and searched ev
At this moment, Luna felt like her brain was exploding.This woman in front of her… who was she?“Luna.”The woman raised her head, looking at Luna with a face full of tear stains, “I treated you like my best friend, I told you everything, I even asked you to help me take care of my two kids… And this is how you treat me? How could you… you kidnapped my two children!”She glared at Luna, a hint of hatred flashing through her eyes. “You made my life terrible! How do you know how I lived for the past few years!”Then, the woman rushed forward and squeezed Luna’s neck as if crazed. “What do you want me to do for you to be satisfied? I want to break your bones and skin your body, to make up for the pain of losing my children that you have cost me these past six years!”Luna was pushed backward, her entire body rammed into the door behind her with a loud ‘bang’. The carved pattern on the steel door pressed into her back, hurting her.The woman in front of Luna was still squeezing h
“Ms. Luna.”After settling ‘Luna Gibson’ down, Joshua approached Luna coldly, his gaze ice-cold, looking pompously at Luna who was currently sitting on the floor. “Do you know the sentence for kidnapping?”Luna raised her head, a cold sneer raising the corners of her lips, “Kidnapping?”“Didn’t you?”He kneeled down, his eyes seemed to contain the harsh cold of the winter frost. “Neil and Nellie are my and Luna Gibson’s children. Six years ago, when she wasn’t paying attention, you stole two of her children and raised them as your own. Isn’t this the truth?”He lowered his eyes and glanced at the steel watch on his wrist. “The police will be here soon. Seeing as you never hurt Neil and Nellie, and even risked your life for Nellie, I will put in a few good words for you in court. But the punishment you deserve… you will have to suffer through every single one of them!”The moment his words left his mouth, the wail of police sirens drifted in from outside.Luna laughed bitterly, “
Luna was taken away by the police.Nellie struggled furiously in Joshua’s arms. “Let go of me, I want Mommy!”“Nellie, your Mommy is right here.”The woman who had been sitting on the sofa throughout the incident smiled and walked over, gently catching Nellie’s waving arms. “She’s a fake, I’m your real Mommy.”“Nonsense!”Nellie flung her hand away, glared at her in anger. “You’re not my Mommy! My Mommy doesn’t look like this!”“Nellie, this is what your Mommy looks like.”The little girl’s consistent struggles made Joshua slightly displeased.He set her down, turned, and looked at Lily who was standing in the distance. “Nellie is emotionally unstable now, bring her upstairs.”Then, he turned and looked at Neil who remained standing. “You should go too. I have something to say to your Mommy.”Neil glanced at Joshua coldly, then turned his gaze to the woman claiming to be their mother.“Bah!”He spit at her harshly, then held Nellie’s hand. “Let’s go!”“They still don’t wan
Aura yawned. “After all, the current Alice Gibson was my sister Luna Gibson.”Luna paused.“So, her name is Alice Gibson.”But that was strange. She was certain she did not have a twin sister.But how come the woman named Alice Gibson, looked exactly like how she used to before the accident?“She’s Alice Gibson, but she’s also Luna Gibson.”Aura changed into a more comfortable position and leaned on the bed. “Ms. Luna, can you guess, among the two of us, which one of us will be the first to leave?”Luna glanced at her, then turned and returned to her bed and lay down. She did not have time for Aura.She needed to organize her thoughts.This woman named Alice Gibson… who was she?…In the children’s room at Blue Bay Villa.Nellie lay on her bed, buried her head beneath her pillow, and wept for a long time.Lily patted her on the back helplessly and comforted her. “Ms. Nellie, don’t cry… crying won’t help solve the problem…”At her words, Nellie’s cries intensified.“Ni
“Joshua, I missed you so much.”In the bedroom back at the villa, Alice closed the door and hugged Joshua tightly from behind.“All these years out there, a few times, I almost wanted to give up, but at the thought of you and the children… You’re my motivation that kept me alive… Luckily the children and I are back at your side now.”Her tears soaked through Joshua’s shirt and into his bare back.His heart felt as if it had been harshly grabbed and squeezed by an invisible hand.He turned and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t let you suffer anymore.”“Okay.” Alice sniffed, “I hope the woman that stole our children… will soon be punished by the law.”She lay on his chest, her tears falling in rivulets. “You saw the situation too, Nellie and Neil are both on her side, they don’t even want to acknowledge me as their mother. The sooner she’s convicted, the sooner the children will grow to accept me…”Joshua frowned.The hopelessness that was written on h
