She held the document tightly in her hands. “You… why are you helping Gwen and the Larson family?”

It stood to reason that he had no contact with them at all.

Acquiring the Larson Group for a price that was 30% higher than market value was definitely not a good move to the Lynch Group.

The Larson Group did not hold that much potential. If it did, Andy Larson would not blindly look up to Old Mr. Walter all these years and follow his every order.

Joshua raised his eyes emotionlessly. “If I didn’t do this, would you leave Sea City with me with peace of mind?”

Luna’s heart squeezed into a tight ball of muscle at his words.

She remembered what Nigel said to her from the other end of the phone.

Could it be that Joshua had been doing all these… for her?

No, that was impossible.

She bit her lip harshly, that was impossible.

He must have read her mind, he glanced at her faintly again. “If you think this isn’t a good enough reason, the other reason is.”

He set the cup down lightly on

    After ending the call with Nigel, Luna hesitated in her room for a long while but finally mustered her courage and went to the hospital.Joshua was right.Luke did indeed protect Gwen very well. Even when she wanted to meet Gwen, his subordinates guarding the door had to report to their superiors and onward, before they finally obtained Luke’s permission and allowed her into the ward.When Luna arrived at Gwen’s hospital ward, Gwen was climbing down the hospital with her father, Andy’s help.Seeing Luna arrive, Gwen’s pupils shrunk slightly, then she raised her eyes and smiled at her softly. “You’re just in time.”She smiled and sat in the wheelchair. “Luke Jones said I’ll be transferred to another hospital tomorrow. I want to make a trip home, to pack up some of my stuff and bring it over there.”With that, Gwen looked at Luna calmly. “Since you’re here, please accompany me home. I don’t want my father to still be taking care of me when I’m already an adult.”Luna pursed her li

    Luna’s hands held onto the wheelchair handles tightly.Gwen raised her head and fixed her eyes on Ben as if she did not hear the woman’s words. Her voice was cold and distant, without an ounce of warmth. “Who is she?”Ben frowned but did not say anything.Gwen raised her voice, but the chill in her tone persisted, “Ben Zeller, who is she?!”“I am Ben’s girlfriend.” The woman laughed lightly, leaning her entire body on him, “But don’t misunderstand, he didn’t cheat on you. We just confirmed our relationship today. That’s all because yo-”Gwen closed her eyes. “Ben Zeller, are you mute?”Only then did Ben frown, his voice displaying his displeasure. “Isn’t it the same, whether I’m the one who says it or Clover says it? Clover is my girlfriend, we only decided to be together this afternoon. We already finalized our divorce this morning, you have no right to interfere in my private affairs.”Gwen started laughing coldly, but as she laughed, her tears started to fall.Luna’s hands c

    Hearing the man’s voice, Luna, who was already prepared to be hit, paused slightly.Joshua?When she retracted her hands and looked in the direction of the voice…Standing in front of her, the towering man was holding Ben’s wrist in his first.The veins on Ben’s forehead protruded violently, it was obvious he was using all his strength, trying his best to plant his fist on Luna’s face.But Joshua firmly controlled him with just a single hand. As if effortless. Luna was stunned for a second.“Luna! Come here!” Gwen’s voice rang out behind her. She paused, and hurriedly stepped back to stand beside Gwen.Gwen held her hand, massaging it, and said, confused, “When did Joshua arrive?” “He has been following us since we left the hospital.” Beside them, Luke still had his arms crossed over his chest as he leaned on the wall, his gaze flitting toward Luna. “He must’ve been worried something would happen to her.”He stretched lazily. “If I didn’t know Joshua was married, I would th

    “You divorced me this morning, in the afternoon you’ve already found a girlfriend, and now at night you bring your new girlfriend to your old home. Ben Zeller. You’re not worth the time that I spent crushing on you.”With that, she sucked in a deep breath, turned and looked at Luke who was holding his lighter, getting ready to light himself a cigarette and watch the show. “Can I borrow a light please?”Luke shrugged, walked over and bent down, held his lighter, and ripped out Gwen’s prettiest solo portrait, then lit the rest of the photos on fire.Finally, he handed the photo he ripped out to Gwen. “For commemorative purposes.”Gwen shook her head. “Just burn it.”She did not need to commemorate something like this.Luke raised his lips in a faint smile, looked at Gwen with a mild interest in his eyes and slipped the photo into his pocket.The photos were lit aflame. Amidst the roaring fire, Ben laughed coldly, “Even if you didn’t burn them, I would.”Gwen closed her eyes tig

    Joshua’s hands that were holding his fork and spoon paused slightly. Finally, he laughed lightly, “Because you’re a divorcee and your ex-husband is a jerk, that’s why you secretly kidnapped Neil and Nellie and raised them as your own?”Luna raised her glass and harshly gulped down a mouthful of warm water, then shifted her eyes to Joshua. “You can say that.”Joshua raised his glass as well. “Why didn’t you have any children when you were with your ex-husband?”“He doesn’t deserve to have children.” Placing her glass down, Luna lifted her cutlery and continued eating. “He had an affair when I needed him the most, and even wanted to kill me to please his side piece. What do you think, does he deserve to have children?”If she was not already pregnant back then, she really did not want to have his children.He did not deserve them.Even after she gave birth to them, Luna staunchly believed the three children belonged to her and her alone. They had nothing to do with Joshua.When

    The radio kept replaying the news surrounding the Walter family that happened in the past few days. “Before the accusations against the Mr. Dennis Walter were raised, the only heir to the Walter Group, Ms. Hailey Walter committed suicide by jumping off a building. The Walter Group is now an empire that has lost its king and is about to overrun…”Luna closed her eyes. She wondered whether Gwen had heard about this piece of news. If she did, at least she would feel slightly comforted, right?At this thought, she took out her phone, intending to check Gwen had sent her any new messages, but instead saw the new status update posted by Ben.‘Inspecting my injuries at the police station, the Larson family, you better watch out! I will be requesting compensation!’ The accompanying pictures were of his injured arm and swollen cheeks as a result of their scuffle the other day. Luna knew his injuries must have been Zach and Yuri’s handiwork. She stared at her phone for a long while, then

    The air in the car turned silent. Luna’s whole body stiffened. She had not seen both Neil and Nellie for days. This was the longest time she had spent apart from them since she gave birth to them six years ago.She missed them dearly. From the calls they shared this morning and yesterday in the afternoon, she knew the children missed her dearly too. The fire in her heart that was burning with excitement at the thought of meeting her children was cruelly extinguished by Alice’s cold words, instead turning cold and frosty.Alice was doing this on purpose. She did not have any feelings for Neil and Nellie. She was just trying to get to her, to get to the children.“Joshua?” Noticing Joshua’s continued silence, Alice even called out to him softly. Only then did he blink and recover his wits. He coughed slightly, raised his eyes and looked at Luna from the back as she sat in the passenger seat. “We’ll do as Alice says.”No matter what, Alice was still their mother. Even though

    “Mommy! I miss you so much!” Nellie said.She took her keys, and the moment she opened the door to the apartment, the two children rushed out like two little tornadoes. Neil and Nellie each hugged one of her legs, chattering away in excitement.“Mommy, I knew you would come back at this hour, but Neil insisted you would come back later!”“Mommy, in the past few days that you weren’t home, I asked Lily to teach me how to make coffee! I made your favorite Arabica coffee!”“Mommy, I have it all planned out, you can’t go anywhere this afternoon. Just stay at home, read me stories and build Legos with Neil!” “Mommy…”Luna lowered her eyes, looked at the two black little heads in front of her, the words were at the tip of her tongue, but she just could not spit them out.Behind her, Lily stood in the living room, looking at her with a smile on her face. “Ms. Luna, they purposely took a day off from school to wait for you. Since this morning, they were particularly excited, decorati

    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
