As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. “You’ve been with Nellie for a long time, and it’s time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell me a story!”Joshua took the storybook. “I can tell a good story.”Nellie was flabbergasted.“You lie! I’ve heard your stories before!” The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. “I want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead...”After her repeated requests, Joshua finally stepped out of her room, incredibly disappointed.Luna stood in the corridor, outside the door as she waited for him to leave.The man pushed open the door and looked at Luna with a face full of displeasure before he lifted his feet and left.Luna shook her head helplessly before she pushed the door in.“Mommy.” Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, “Don’t you think Daddy is being too gentle today? It looks like he’s terrified of losing us, too.”“The one he’s afraid of losing is you.”

“Why?”As he noticed the little boy’s shocked expression, Joshua’s lips twisted into a smile. “Surprised to see me?”Neil swallowed and nodded honestly. “It is indeed a surprise...”How did he find this place?“It seems that there’s no need to introduce myself.” The man took a clean glass and poured himself a glass of beer gracefully. “Since you saved my daughter, why are you avoiding me?”“No, I didn’t avoid you.” Neil turned away guiltily and dared not look at him.Although he repeatedly scolded him for being a scumbag, Neil still felt uncomfortable and uneasy when he suddenly appeared next to him.Joshua chuckled. “You really didn’t avoid me?”Neil coughed slightly. “I do good deeds without leaving a name.”“Not only do you leave no name, but also leave no trace?”His men had scoured through the whole amusement park and checked everyone that entered and exited the park, but they could not find him.Neil took a sip of orange juice and said not a word. Joshua did not fixa

Neil rolled his eyes and guessed that Joshua asked him this question because of Nellie.Did this scumbag want to make it up to Nellie?The little guy frowned and thought of what Nellie had said to him.“Neil, if you return to Daddy, what do you want Daddy to do for you? I hope that Daddy will be like Mommy and cook me delicious food. Like Mommy comb my hair, pick out my clothes, and also tell me a bedtime story like Mommy!”…Neil hesitated for a while and removed the girly ‘hair-combing’ as he answered, “I hope my father can cook for me, pick out my clothes for me, and tell me bedtime stories.”Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Do you still need someone to tell you a bedtime story?”This little boy was mature enough to tell other children a bedtime story.“Of course I want to listen to bedtime stories!” Neil was upset. “I’m still a child! You can’t ignore the fact that I’m only six years old just because I’m smart, resourceful, cute, and handsome!”Joshua had no comment on that.

Clap!A tall figure appeared at the door.As soon as Joshua opened the door, he saw the woman sitting on the ladder.She was sitting on a ladder with a photo album on her lap, looking at the contents of the photo album.She was wearing a pale-yellow nightdress, and her long curly hair languidly spread out, hanging at her waist, making her look even more slender and petite.Under the dim light, her freely hanging legs looked sexy and charming, but on her small, fair feet, she was wearing the same cartoon plush slippers as Nellie.The man’s roaming eyes paused.This woman, she was still awake in the middle of the night, striking such a pose in his study, was she trying to seduce him?She almost died during the day, and yet now that night had fallen, she still harbored such intentions!Thinking of this, his expression turned cold. He walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”Her position on the ladder was shaky and unstable, and she was looking at the photo album in a trance.

Nellie blinked, then realized she had misspoken.She didn’t dare to face her father, turning her face to the side, “Mommy, right now, she’s…”Before she could finish her sentence, she spotted Luna who was standing at the entrance to the study.The little girl’s voice cut off in her throat.Joshua turned and glanced at the woman standing in the entrance, his displeasure apparent in his voice, “You have something to say?”“Yes.”Luna’s face remained expressionless. “The servants downstairs said breakfast is ready and asked when Nellie would go down and eat.”“You can eat first if you’re hungry.”He glanced at her, irritated, “Once Nellie and I are done, we’ll go downstairs by ourselves.”“Alright.”She smiled and nodded, then turned and left without a hint of hesitation.After Luna left, Joshua shut the door to the study, turned and continued questioning Nellie. “You were saying, what does your Mommy look like now?”Nellie paused, raised her head and looked at him, “Mommy…she

Looking at the scene in front of him, Joshua frowned slightly. After breakfast, Nellie jumped down from her little chair, “I’m going back to my room!”With that, the little girl hopped up the stairs.Luna sat on her chair, looking at the little girl’s pony tail swaying from side to side as she mounted the stairs, and shook her head helplessly. She was still a child after all, her emotions coming and going, like a storm.Judging from her expression, she seemed to have forgotten the events of yesterday.After a moment, she stood up and prepared to go upstairs.“Wait.”The moment she stood up, Joshua called out to her.Luna looked at him, “Mr. Lynch, do you have something to say?”“Yes.”Joshua cleared his throat, “I want to cook for Nellie.”He still remembered the words the little boy said last night.“If my real father would appear suddenly, I hope he’d cook me some delicious food, pick out my outfit and tell me bedtime stories.”Even though boys and girls were differen

“Miss Zimmer.”Luna winked at Anne, deliberately greeting her as if they were merely acquaintances, “You’re out shopping too?”Anne frowned, just about to speak, when Joshua, who was standing opposite her, glanced at Neil slightly, “We meet again.”In front of Luna, Neil didn’t dare to say anything, and could only smile at him in embarrassment, “...Yes, we meet again.”Anne was shocked and speechless.What was going on?Luna was so close with someone like Joshua Lynch?And Neil knew Joshua too?She smiled awkwardly, “Well, it looks like everyone knows each other...”“Hello.”Joshua only noticed the woman pushing Neil in the shopping cart, “Are you this child’s mother?”Anne, “???”The child’s mother was right beside him!“She’s not my mother, she is my godmother.”Neil spoke up and interrupted him, “My mother is busy working part-time and has no time to take care of me, so I have been living with my godmother recently.”The little boy’s words made Anne swallow back what

Joshua was a little surprised.If he remembered correctly, the woman had taken care of Nellie for less than a week.How could she know so much about Nellie?He sat on the sofa and watched her flipping through the children’s clothes, and Luna Gibson’s face appeared in front of his eyes in a daze.If she was by his side, she would be like Luna, buzzing here and there like a hardworking bee, busily picking out clothes for her daughter.In other words, Luna’s care for Nellie, both in the way she looked after her and the way she seemed to read her feelings, seemed to have far surpassed the relationship between a nanny and her employer’s daughter.He remembered how in the Ferris wheel yesterday, she was determined to protect Nellie even if her own life was at stake. At that moment, he even felt that, even if she approached him with ill intentions, it wasn’t a big deal after all.At least, she was doing her best to take care of Nellie.Nellie had extremely good taste. The moment she

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. He had tears on his face as well.She bit her lips and reached out to wipe his tears. "A—Are these tears…yours or his?

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
