The Lynch Mansion was brightly lit.Joshua sat on the couch, quietly listening to his grandmother and his father as they reprimanded him.“Why did you announce you’re getting a divorce all of a sudden!”“Alice is the mother of your two children, did you get our blessing? Before you announce you’re getting a divorce?”“And you’re divorcing Alice for Luna!”Granny Lynch sat on the couch, rapping the cane in her hand hard against the floor producing loud clicks. “I told you Luna was bad news! For her, first, you chased Aura out, and now you’re divorcing Alice! She chased away one woman after another, she’s a homewrecker!”The old lady’s words made Adrian frown. “Joshua, what were you thinking? Even if it’s just for the children, you shouldn’t get divorced so easily.”Joshua lowered his head, playing with the phone in his hands.A long while later, he raised his head and swept his eyes across his father’s face faintly. “Father. Not long ago, didn’t you keep asking me to marry Haile
The woman’s airy voice carried her words straight into Joshua’s ears.His eyebrows screwed together tightly.In the house, Nellie quietly sneaked a glance at the clock.20 minutes had passed since she sent the photos to her father.No matter how far away he was, he should’ve been here by now!So the little girl pursed her lips, lifted her phone discreetly and sent another message to Joshua.“Daddy, where are you?”The notification ping from his phone rang loudly in the hallway outside.The few people eating inside stiffened immediately.The sound… came from right outside their door!Neil was the first to react, jumping down from his chair and walking to the door, opening it. “Mr. Lynch?”The little guy looked at the man at the door with confused eyes, then suddenly turned and looked at Nellie, as if remembering something.The little girl realized her actions had been seen through and bowed her head in shame.Theo turned and looked at the man standing in the entrance, his
The air in the dining room immediately fell silent.Joshua glanced at Theo with cold eyes then switched them over to look at Luna.Finally, he raised his lips in a cold sneer, “Does anyone here agree with you being Luna’s boyfriend?”Theo narrowed his eyes but said nothing.Luna frowned, raised her eyes and looked at Joshua’s expression that was filled with disdain.A moment later, she smiled faintly. “Theo is indeed my boyfriend. If Mr. Lynch insists on joining us when I bring the children out, then I’ll bring my boyfriend along. Five people vacationing together is not a bad idea either.”Luna wanted to use this method to force him to retreat voluntarily.Because she knew very well that Joshua hated Theo, he would not be willing to go on a trip with him.But unexpectedly…The moment the words left her mouth, both men said simultaneously.“Sure.”“No problem.”Luna was stunned.Instinctively, she looked at Theo who was sitting beside her, then switched her gaze over to Jos
Theo tried convincing himself nothing happened between them.But now…He placed the empty glass on the table, turned and smiled faintly at Luna.“I have a sudden craving for fried chicken, I think I’ll go join Neil and Nellie.”With that, he smiled wryly and turned to leave.With the bang, the door was closed once again.Luna closed her eyes in despair. Theo must think of her as an easy woman, as a liar.She mentioned countless times before that she wasn’t interested in Joshua.But, not being interested in him was one thing.Saving Nigel was an entirely different matter.But she could not tell the truth to everyone who misunderstood her.“Feel bad?”All of a sudden, Joshua’s voice rang out beside her ear, full of contempt. Luna frowned.The moment she opened her eyes, Joshua immediately pressed her into her chair, leaning into her, his gaze predatory, just like his actions. “How long have you known him, and now it hurts to see him go?”Fury colored his voice.Luna fr
Early the next morning, Luna got a call from Joshua the moment she woke up.“Yuri is waiting for you downstairs, we’ll be spending a week in Sea City, pack your stuff.”Luna ended the call in frustration.When she lowered her phone, she glanced at the time, it was barely 7am. He had tortured her for so long last night, how was he still so energetic?After washing herself, Luna walked out of the bedroom and saw Nellie and Neil standing in the living room and the huge suitcase beside them.Seeing her emerge from her room, the two kids grinned at her. “Have a nice trip!”She laughed at the sight of them and walked toward them, opening the suitcase.Inside was seven days’ supply of her clothes and daily necessities. Her unfinished drawings were folded neatly into the compartment at the side.Without even thinking, she knew this was definitely Nellie’s handiwork. Even though Neil was thoughtful, he was still a boy.Luna raised her hand and ruffled her daughter’s hair. “Thank yo
The love and affection accumulated over the past few months disappeared in an instant.From beginning to the end, he was still the same cold and unfeeling Joshua Lynch.Six years ago, he could tell her calmly before leaving on a business trip that he would accompany her to the doctor’s once he came home.And then kill her mercilessly after he returned.Six years later, he could still parade his love for his wife as he divorced her and even planned her murder.Her sleepiness evaporated immediately.Luna sat in the car, Yuri’s rambling floating into her right ear and immediately exiting through the left. Joshua’s cold, emotionless face was all she saw.The four-to-five-hour journey was meant to be long.But with her mixed bag of emotions, Luna felt the journey was exceptionally short.At noon, the car left the expressway and drove into the city area of Sea City.This was where Luna lived as a child.She had not been back here since she married Joshua.Returning to her homet
Joshua looked at Alice indifferently, not a hint of emotion in his eyes, “I’m here on business.”“Oh, I see.”Alice did not look disappointed at all, instead, she smiled lightly. “What a coincidence, I’m staying in this hotel too. When you guys go home, can I join the ride?”Joshua’s eyes swept across her face faintly. “I can send you a car to drive you home.”He glanced at Luna. “Let’s go.”Then, he raised his foot and left.Luna frowned and wanted to follow him, but Alice blocked her way.She looked at Luna and snorted, “You and Joshua just left like that…Say, do you think the two children are safe without any protection?”Luna turned and looked at her emotionlessly and laughed, “Didn’t you see what happened to Hailey Walter?”She looked at Alice’s pale face, laughing lightly, “Joshua already announced that he’s divorcing you. And you choose to harm his children now, do you want to speed up the divorce?”With that, she raised her foot and left coolly. She knew Alice was j
“It seems Ms. Luna is an elite, as Mr. Lynch insists on bringing you along wherever he goes.”The conversation suddenly turned toward her, Luna coughed slightly, “Mr. Lynch wanted to give me some exposure.”“She’s a designer.”Joshua said while he ate elegantly, “In terms of jewelry design, she is indeed an elite.”Hailey lifted her lips in a smile. “It’s easy to grow fond of the capable ones.”With that, she studied Luna from head to toe. “If there’s a chance, I would like to introduce our designer to Ms. Luna, so they can discuss and exchange their opinions.”Luna frowned and was about to say something when she noticed the hatred in Hailey’s eyes.The glint of enmity in her eyes made Luna shudder.If her memory served her right, this was her first time meeting Hailey as Luna.Why did she hold such a big sense of hostility toward her?It was even much stronger than the sense of hostility she displayed when she caused havoc at her and Joshua’s wedding all those years ago.So
