Luna’s smile turned into a sneer.After a while, she narrowed her eyes and looked at Alice in the red dress. Her tone turned cold too. “You’re coming along too?”“Yes.” Alice smiled brightly at Luna. “Joshua and I also want to accompany Neil and Nellie today.”Then, she pretended to be motherly. “For the past half a month, I have been working in the design department every day. I don’t even have the time to spend time with my kids. Now that they are leaving, I don’t want to give up the last chance I have to spend time with them.”“I’m their mother and you’re their adoptive moth. Our feelings for the children are the same, right?”As if! Luna clenched her fists tightly. She could not help but immediately see through Alice’s pretense. “Mrs. Lynch, your acting skills are getting better.”“Likewise.” Alice walked over and said in her eyes. “As long as you’re unhappy, I’ll be happy. You want to spend a day happily playing? Dream on.”Luna released her clenched fist. She sneered and
Alice furrowed her brows. “If you want ice cream, go get it!”Neil blinked his eyes and looked at Alice. “But, when Luna Mommy took us to the amusement park last time, she always brought me to buy ice cream. She paid for us. I want you to take me.”Alice pursed her lips. She wanted to say something when Joshua let go of her hand. “Go with him. It’s rare that Neil wants to get close to you.”Alice furrowed her brows and turned around reluctantly, taking Neil to the ice cream stall.Neil bought five ice cream cones, he was eating one in his hand.The vendor swept a glance at Neil, then naturally passed the other four ice cream cones to Alice.Having to hold two rather huge ice cream cones in one hand, Alice’s expressions darkened gloomily.“Ms. Alice, hold it properly!” Neil smiled at her. “The four ice cream cones. One is for Nellie, one is for Joshua, and two for Luna Mommy!”The veins on Alice’s forehead popped. “What about me?”Neil blinked his eyes and looked at Alice innoc
“Damn it!”In the amusement park’s changing room, Alice unwillingly slipped out of her long, red dress and into a long shirt and long pants that the staff provided.After leaving the changing room, she ran into Neil who had long since been waiting for her at the entrance.“Ms. Alice, our beautiful day has just started.”The little guy leaned on the door, licking on the new ice cream that Joshua bought for him and winked in Alice’s direction. “Later I would like to invite you to ride on the roller coaster, the drop tower and the swing pendulum ride too!”He frowned slightly. “Ms. Alice, are you afraid of heights? I remember there’s also bungee jumping facilities in this amusement park.” As he said that, he turned and glimpsed at her, “Initially, I planned to enjoy those rides with Mommy Luna, but now that she hurt her shoulder, I have no choice but to invite you. Since you’re here today to bond with us children, then you wouldn’t reject an invitation from your beloved son and daugh
“Daddy promised me just now, he would make 520 points, and win me the biggest teddy bear as a parting gift!”Alice secretly rolled her eyes at her and raised her head, her voice soft and gentle, “Joshua, since Nellie wants it so much, let’s buy the bear and give it to her, then can you accompany me to the hospital to visit my mother?”Nellie pursed her lips. “I don’t want you to buy it! I want Daddy to exchange his points for it! A present that you buy with money is different from one that you earn with your effort and hard work!” Alice frowned and glared at her. “How is it different! You’ll just get the same teddy bear!” With that, she raised her head. “Joshua, visiting my mother is more important, I’m worried something will happen to her… can you accompany me, please?”She definitely did not want to continue staying here and be tortured by that little bastard, Neil. But if she left by herself and left Joshua here with them…Was that not exactly what Luna wanted?At this though
Alice herself knew her reason was not strong enough to convince Joshua to give up the two children and leave with her. But still, she gritted her teeth secretly and pulled on Joshua’s sleeve in a whine, putting in a last-ditch effort. “Joshua…”Luna yawned and turned away, right at that moment she saw the carousel had started rotating. She lowered her eyes and whispered in Nellie’s ears. Nellie pursed her lips and stood up, carrying her teddy bear in her hands. “Daddy, since you’re so busy, you don’t want to win the toy for me. After all, you haven’t given me any meaningful presents before, I’m used to it!” With that, the little girl held Luna’s hand and the mother and daughter pair headed in the direction of the carousel. Seeing as the eyesores were finally gone, Alice heaved a sigh of relief, “Joshua, let’s…”“Daddy.”Before she could finish her sentence, Neil appeared out of nowhere, holding four tickets to the roller coaster in his hand. “Let’s try out this ride, okay?” As
He seemed to have seen many different sides of Luna today. He gradually understood why the children liked her so much, why they still tried their best to protect her even though they knew she was the fake mommy that stole them away. Because she was worth it.Throughout the day, the family of four tried out all the rides in the amusement park. Outside, Alice never left. Through the CCTV feed, she studied Luna and Joshua’s smiling faces, her hands clenched into fists beside her. Joshua had initially planned to work today. But because she still held a grudge after being taunted by Luna at the hospital yesterday, she pestered Joshua, insisting he bring her along today to stir up trouble. However, she did not expect Luna herself to remain passive, instead Luna’s two little bastards started causing trouble for her! The more she thought about it, the more furious she grew. Finally, her fist slammed into the screen of the laptop in front of her!…In the evening, it started raining he
A moment later, she laughed, “You’re right, we are quite similar. But she doesn’t seem to like them anymore.”The man sucked in a breath. “People change, she’s completely different now from the woman she used to be.”Luna raided her eyes and looked at him. “Then what about you? Are you the same man you are now as you were back then?”Joshua paused, then laughed, “You didn’t know me back then.”Luna lifted her lips in a smile. “That’s true.” She knew the man he used to be, better than anyone else. The atmosphere in the restaurant turned quiet again. By the time the both of them finished their meal, each occupied with their own thoughts, the downpour outside had stopped. The fresh, earthy scent of wet soil permeated the air.Maybe because he had spent the day having fun with the children, Joshua felt particularly relaxed. That was why after dinner, he invited Luna up to the roof for moon gazing.In the night sky that was just washed by the rain, the moon was nowhere to be seen,
If only she opened this door and caught them in the act, then Luna and Joshua would never have the chance to hook up again!But…If she really did that, would Luna rather they both die together and expose her true identity? Dennis had just been imprisoned more than a month ago and she did not gain anything from the Lynch Group. If her identity was exposed at this point in time, not just her alone, but the entire Walter family would truly be left with nothing! At this thought, she could only suppress the bubbling anger in her chest, pull out the key, and go back to the room next door. The walls of the hotel were truly soundproof, even if she sat in the room beside Joshua’s, she could not hear a single sound drifting out of his room. But just because she could not hear them, did not mean they did not exist. Alice scrolled through the news on her phone in frustration, planning to employ the same trick again later, and drag Luna into this room. Right at that moment, her eyes sc
