He still remembered what Luna had told him in the past. ‘If we have kids, I’ll teach them to be true to themselves. They should act courteous in public, but when they’re at home, they can do whatever they want.’It was apparent that Alice had forgotten her promise. It seemed that six years truly could change a person, so much so that Joshua could not recognize her anymore.He sighed and led Alice into the house. “Daddy!”“Welcome home, Daddy! We know you’ve had a long day at work!” As soon as they set foot in the house, they came face-to-face with Neil and Nellie. The two children stood to either side of the door and bowed at Joshua, smiling.Joshua immediately scowled at this sight. He took a closer look at his two children standing before him. Nellie’s face was red and tearful, while Neil’s face was etched with impatience. It was obvious that the two children had been forced to do this against their will.Joshua let go of Alice and shot her a cold glance. “Is this the so-cal

As soon as Alice started crying, Joshua could not help but feel sorry for her. He sighed and pulled her into his arms. “No, please don’t think that. I’m just…really busy with work lately.”He lifted his head to wipe away the tears from under her eyes. “It’s okay. I’m home now.”With her head down, a triumphant glint flashed across Alice’s eyes. She nodded meekly and said, “That’s okay. If you’re busy, you should do work. All I needed to know is that you don’t hate the kids or me, that’s all.”Joshua gently patted her back to comfort her. “How could I hate you?” He let go of Alice and bent down to hoist Nellie into his arms. “Come on, let’s eat.”“Okay!” Alice replied. She watched as Joshua headed to the dining room with Nellie in his arms before she turned around to glower at Neil. “You recorded me? You’re not so stupid after all.”Neil grinned at her. “Well, I learned from the best, though you managed to outsmart us in the end. I guess I underestimated you.” With that, he turne

Neil rolled his eyes and leaned against the couch lazily. Joshua sighed. “It’s all Luna’s fault. She’s spoiled you.”“This has nothing to do with Mommy. Fine, I’ll sit properly.” Neil could not stand hearing anyone talk bad about his mother, so he immediately sat up. “Alright. What did you want to talk to me about?”“Alice is your mother.” Joshua gave Neil a solemn look. “She’s carried you and Nellie in her womb for ten months and even suffered a car accident during her pregnancy. Life hasn’t been easy on her. I know you both have spent a lot of time with Luna and that she raised you, but it doesn’t mean you can act disrespectfully toward Alice. She’s your birth mother. Both of you are smart kids, so I’m sure you understand why she wasn’t there for you, but now that she’s back, you have to treat her with the respect she deserves.”Neil rolled his eyes. Of course, they would respect their mother, but Alice was not their birth mother—Luna was!“Answer me,” insisted Joshua coldly when

Neil glanced at Joshua with a puzzled look. “I thought you told us not to contact her.”Joshua sneered. “Since when do you even listen to me? Do you think I never noticed the new signal-jamming device you placed in the house?”Neil immediately lowered his head in shame. When Luna got released from jail, Joshua had ordered them not to contact her and even warned them that he would be able to track their cellular signals to detect if they talked to her behind his back. Neil had no choice but to ask Nigel for help and installed a signal jammer within the house. Whenever the device was switched on, the signal they used to contact their mother could not be detected. However, Neil never expected that Joshua would discover the device.“Okay, so… Shall I call her?” said Neil meekly, somewhat ashamed that his plan had been exposed. He turned around and tried to slip out of the room. “Stop.” Joshua stopped him sternly before he could leave. “You can call her right here.”Neil pulled a

Alice placed the cup on the table and wrapped her arms around Joshua’s shoulders. She gently let out a soft exhale next to his ear. “I thought you said you don’t have work to do tonight?”Joshua’s brows furrowed. This interaction was normal for every couple, but somehow, her behavior annoyed and even repulsed him. Perhaps it was because they had been apart for too long, or perhaps something had changed. Joshua contemplated for a moment before finally removing her arms from his shoulder. Alice gaped at him in shock. Joshua did not seem to notice this and instead picked up the cup and took a sip. After a few more drinks, he regained his composure. “Alice, you should go to bed now. I wanted to finish up some work…”Alice frowned and shot him an exasperated look. “Joshua, do you think your work is more important than me? Ever since I returned, you’ve never even spent any quality time with me! I thought we used to be very close. Why did you change?”Joshua immediately frowned. He squ

As soon as he turned around, Joshua caught a glimpse of the bloodstain on the sheets where Alice laid down moments ago.Joshua let out a sigh of relief and left a note on the bed. With that, he left the bedroom. Meanwhile, in the bathroom, Alice discovered that she was on her period. She was so frustrated that she felt like hitting her head against the wall.She could not believe the impeccable timing. She had planned to seduce Joshua so that she could officially become his wife, but her sudden menstruation ruined her plans.Alice cleaned herself up and rummaged around the medicine cabinet until she found her birth control pill. She swallowed the pill in one gulp. She was willing to do whatever it took to get Joshua to sleep with her! Alice came out of the bathroom with a smile, but Joshua was nowhere to be found. Instead, there was a bowl of steaming hot soup on the nightstand, along with a pack of tampons.A maid was busy changing the bedsheets. When she saw Alice emerge from

“Nothing much.” Anne pursed her lips. “As you know, our hospital has the best plastic surgery department in all of Banyan City. Recently, a lot of people have come by to ask if any of us had seen Hailey. They think she might’ve stopped by our hospital.”She continued, “Anyway, I heard that this Hailey girl has been obsessed with plastic surgery ever since her fiancé dumped her. Their marriage was apparently arranged, but he didn’t want to marry her.”Luna calmly stuffed a forkful of food into her mouth. “This fiancé of hers is none other than Joshua Lynch.”Anne’s jaw dropped. “Does that mean…the one who stole her fiancé was…”“It was me.” Luna gave Anne a smile. “Surprising, isn’t it?”Anne still gaped at her. “Surprising, indeed.”Luna finished her food and set down her cutlery. She got up, grabbed her coat, and said to Anne while she put it on, “Like me, Ms. Walter is just another poor girl who fell head over heels for the wrong person. She and I both sacrificed too much for t

Luna shrugged and gave Shannon her phone back. “Get back to work. You shouldn’t be looking at stuff like this during office hours.”Shannon’s jaw dropped. “Director Luna, don’t you…want to explain anything?”Luna glanced at her. “Why do I need to explain anything to you? Maybe I should put it this way: None of you will believe me even if I explained, so why should I waste my energy?” With that, she turned around and went back into her office with a small smile.To be honest, Luna did not care that Alice had gone to the press. She did not care if everyone who saw that article ended up misunderstanding her and thought she was a selfish, jealous woman. Long gone was the Luna who cared about the opinions of others, who strived to please everyone she met.All she wanted to do was finish her sketches in time so she could take Neil and Nellie on an outing as Joshua promised. It was another busy day. When it was time to get off from work, Luna’s assistant knocked on her door. “Director L

At that, he looked at Gwen. "Actually…"Steven found himself unable to finish his sentence. After a long while, he shook his head and smiled. "Forget about it.""Steven…" Gwen looked at him, and her tears fell.Her heart was not made of stone. How could she not know Steven's feelings toward her?She was silent for a long while. In the end, she stood up and slowly walked over to Steven with arms opened wide. "Give me a hug."Steven hesitated for a while, but he still stood up.They hugged."Gwen." Steven hugged her thin figure. "I have to meet you earlier in the next life so I can compete fairly with my brother."Gwen nodded with tears streaming down her face. "Okay."They thus hugged once more. Minutes later…"He's gone," said Stefan.Tears kept falling.They hugged for a while longer before pulling apart. Gwen looked at Stefan with her tear-stricken face.

The next day, Rachel flew from Merchant City to Sharnwick City to diagnose Anne's condition. Theo tagged along as well because he had another identity, Rachel's boyfriend."According to the report, Anne's condition is slowly recuperating." Rachel was relieved after assessing the report. "Although she is very weak, she is going to get better with lots of rest."There is nothing wrong with her vocal cords too. It could be a psychological thing that makes her lose her voice. A knot in her heart that causes it." She looked at Luna, then at John. "Considering all factors, I think that knot is Luna."Rachel continued, "John, I know Luna is the root cause of all these bad things. Being away from Luna, Joshua, and other people is going to guarantee a safer life for you and your family. But have you thought about it from Anne's point of view? Other than you and Sammie, she has her own life and her circle of friends. Never has she blamed Luna for what happened, yet you forced her to leave Lun

It was almost a miracle for Anne to willingly leave the house just to visit him!Robyn, meanwhile, sobbed at the sight.The nurse who accompanied Anne to the ward was puzzled. What was going on with these people?She snuck her phone out of her pocket and took a photo of this surreptitiously. Then, she sent it into the nurse's group chat with the caption, [What a strange family I met today.]The nurses in the group chat began gossiping about this. One of them tagged a fellow nurse named Daisy and said, [Hey, isn't this the guy who saved the old man you're looking after? What a hero!]Daisy was, at this moment, walking into Andy's room to help him change his wound dressing. She saw the message but was not able to type on her keyboard to respond, so she recorded a voice message instead. "Yes, that's the man. What's wrong with his family? What are you guys talking about?"As soon as she finished her sentence, she lifted her head and finally realized that Andy was not there.Instead,

Anne stared at John for a long time before forcibly smiling and told him in sign language, "Robyn didn't return after so long, so I got worried and came by to check on her.""Daddy, Aunt Robyn, are you two hugging?" Sammie asked, blinking innocently as she raised her head in curiosity.John and Robyn turned pale at this.It was understandable for such a young child like Sammie to misinterpret them as hugging, but what would Anne think of this?John leaped off the bed and staggered toward Anne. "Anne, it's just a misunderstanding…"However, he was still so weak that his legs could not hold up the full weight of his body at all, and he almost crumpled to the ground.Quick-witted Robyn managed to catch him before he could fall, but this gesture appeared once again rather intimate to both Anne and Sammie. Sammie furrowed her brow and asked rather indignantly, "Are you hugging again? Daddy, how can you hug Aunt Robyn like this when you've never even hugged Mommy and me like this befor

When the nurse pushed Anne to John's ward, she overheard John and Robyn fighting from the door. The fight was about how John was anxious to return home because he was worried about Anne and Sammie.However, as someone who used to work as a nurse, Robyn knew John should not leave the hospital after being shot by a gun. At least, he needed to stay in the hospital and be observed for 24 hours to make sure that he was fine before leaving the hospital. If an infection happened, John's body would crash easily and he would become weak just like Anne.In the ward, John frowned and talked with a serious tone, "I'm really fine. Get me my clothes so I can go upstairs to thank Miss Andie and go back home immediately. If Anne knows that I'm hurt, she is going to worry. She will easily be suspicious since you haven't gone back home for a long time. What if she worries about me and brings Sammie to the hospital to look for me? Can you bear yourself even just thinking about it? She's weak and Sammie

Sammie's soft and cute babyish voice melted Stefan's heart immediately. It had been quite some time since he actually put a smile on his face. "Hi, there. What's your name and how old are you?"Sammie tilted her head to look at Stefan's handsome face and smiled sweetly, "I'm Samantha but everyone calls me Sammie."Then she did not forget to introduce Anne to Stefan too. "This is my Mommy. Her name is Anne."At this point, Stefan had given all of his attention to Sammie and did not notice Sammie mentioned that her mother's name was Anne. He pinched Sammie's cheek and said, "Your Mommy is not feeling well. You have to be a good girl and take care of her, do you understand?"Sammie nodded seriously and said, "I will.""Alright, sir. I will bring them to where they want to go," the nurse saw Anne signing to her anxiously. She smiled and said, "Don't worry. I will take good care of them."The promise from the nurse gave an assurance to Stefan that they would be well taken off. He smil

This was the first time Anne brought Sammie out. Ever since she escaped from death, she became a different person—a recluse and was afraid of the sun. This situation became even worse after she became mute.The last time she left the house was two weeks ago when she had to go for surgery.However, she worried about John. In the morning, Robyn told her John was hurt and needed to stay in the hospital to rest. However, she had a hard time believing what Robyn said.After spending so many years together with John, Anne reckoned she was the one who knew John the most. If it was a minor injury, John would never want to stay in the hospital. He cared too much about her and Sammie, so he never dared to let her worry about him. Therefore, it just did not sound reasonable if John would stay in the hospital because of a small injury.Furthermore, Robyn had not returned home since the morning, which was nearly three hours since she left the house. After much consideration, she decided to call

Tara fell silent upon hearing this. She bit her lip nervously and shot Gwen a tentative glance. "I didn't mean to offend you, Gwen…" "I know." Gwen let out an exhale and interrupted Tara before she could finish, "I know you meant no harm, but I can't deny that this is something I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around. In the future, neither of you—even you, Luna—should bring this up again." Her love life was such a mess that not even she could unravel the ties, much less expect other people to understand. Tara pursed her lips and did not reply. Luna stared at Gwen in silence for a while before finally saying, "But you have to face this eventually, Gwennie. After all that you've been through with Luke, all of us hope for nothing but the best for the two of you. Even if you avoid it now, you'll have to face the truth eventually. Otherwise, are you planning on spending the rest of your life in this complicated relationship with Luke? Can you bear the thought of not being

Stefan was mildly amused by the look on her face. He extended his arms out in a gesture of defeat and said, "I never intended on ratting you out to Joshua. You three spoke about these secrets in my presence." With that, he shot Andy a rather helpless look. "Don't you agree, sir?" Andy was surprised to be called out all of a sudden. "Of course!" Although Gwen and Luke had been together for a long time, Luke had never much cared for maintaining good relations with his future father-in-law. He always thought his relationship with Gwen did not concern anyone else outside of the two of them. Combined with the fact that Andy had done some hurtful things to Gwen in the past, Luke grew even more disdainful of his future father-in-law. Because of this, he had never given Andy as much as a second glance throughout their relationship and rarely ever addressed him directly like this. The truth was, Stefan had already called out to Andy once before, during their rescue mission the day befor
