“You b*tch! You finally dare come see me?”Celeste rushed toward Luna in a fit of rage the moment she saw her.However, before she could rush over, Celeste was blocked by the bodyguard keeping watch by the entrance, much to Celeste’s fury.“Let me go! If I don’t slap this b*tch today, I won’t be able to relieve myself of any hatred in my heart!”“Let her go.”Standing by the entrance, the emaciated Luna smiled bitterly. “If hitting me could let Mrs. Allen feel less sorrow, let her do it.”“Luna…” Anne furrowed her brows and held onto Luna. “Your body can’t take it…”“I owe it to them.”Seeing out the bodyguards had no intention of letting Celeste go, Luna sighed. She immediately carried herself and slowly approached Celeste.“I understand how painful it is to lose a son.”Neil was only six years old. Besides Neil, she still had her other two children.However, Neil’s death was a huge blow to her, let alone for Celeste, who only had Theo as her son, who she had for more than
Joshua furrowed his brows and looked at Luna who was kneeling on the ground, with Anne supporting her. “She had Theo help look after her children because she treated Theo as a friend.“Theo also treats her as his friend. That’s why he was willing to go abroad to look after her children. Luna didn’t expect such an accident to happen as well.”Joshua sighed. “She has lost two children due to this incident. Her sorrow is no less than yours. As victims, stop making things difficult for each other.”Celeste shut her eyes. Tears fell from her face.It was not as if she did not understand what Joshua said. When Theo went abroad to look after the two kids, he even called her.“Mom, Luna is finally going to finish the things she wanted to do. She won’t have anything to do with Joshua anymore after this! I’m here, looking after her two kids. When she finishes her things on her hand, I’ll meet up with her. Don’t worry. I’ll try my best to get such an exceptional jewelry designer to marry me!
“This is moral coercion!”Anne angrily looked at Celeste. “It’s true that your son likes Luna, but Luna has made it clear to him that she wouldn’t marry him. She wouldn’t be together with him either. They could only be friends.“Theo likes Luna and even sacrificed his life for Luna’s children in the end, and while everyone feels sad about this, you can’t use this as a condition to get Luna to marry a dead person, living the life of a widower her entire life, right?”Celeste sneered as she ignored Anne’s words. Celeste lowered her head and looked at Luna mockingly. “I’m asking you, Luna: are you willing to do it or not?”Luna, who was kneeling on the ground, closed her eyes depressingly.“I’m sorry.”Celeste’s eyes were instantly filled with anger at Luna’s response.“Our Theo sacrificed his life for you! I’m only asking you to marry him, to not have any other men for the rest of your life! Would it kill you to not have any men?”Celeste angrily turned to look at Joshua. “You st
Upon getting Luna’s word, Nathan sighed once again before taking Celeste and left.Once both of them entered the elevator, Anne sighed and helped Luna up, slowly taking Luna back to her room.“They said that they didn’t want to morally coerce you, but they still did it anyway.”Luna pursed her lips. “It’s fine.”Even if Nathan did not say it, she still would not forget Theo when she paid a tribute to Neil. She would not even have a grand wedding, not when Neil’s remains still could not be found.Their request was also what she wanted to do.Anne pursed her lips and sent Luna back to her room. She wanted to say something, but she noticed Joshua standing by the entrance when she looked back.Anne paused for a while. In the end, she still got up, cautiously left, and shut the door behind her.The atmosphere in the room was so quiet that it was suffocating.After a long while, Joshua smiled bitterly. He walked over to Luna’s bed and sat down by the side.“You really agreed to Mal
The room was in silence for a few seconds.Joshua lifted his head and looked at Luna. “Jason has nothing to do with me.”Luna laughed. Did he still intend to keep up with the pretense, even at this stage?Nothing to do with him, he said?“If he had nothing to do with you, how did he get out of the mental asylum?”Luna looked at Joshua coldly, her smile drenched in mockery.“Don’t tell me that a person whom you locked up could come out from the mental asylum without your approval!”Joshua furrowed his brows. “He might’ve escaped.”It has been a month since that dark day.Luna had been unconscious that whole time. Once Joshua made sure that Luna was no longer in danger, he started getting busy with the three children.He dealt with Neil’s funeral, helped Nellie get a psychologist for therapy sessions, then went to Malcolm to see Nigel and brought him back to Banyan City. He got all the best specialists in the world to treat Nigel.He never cared to deal with an unimportant per
Then, Joshua strode away.Luna leaned against the head of the bed, her eyes narrowed as she watched Joshua leave. She sneered.She did not believe a single word he said.At that moment, no one knew where Aura was. With no one to prove his words, he could naturally come up with nonsense and blame everything on Aura.He said that he would find men to bring Aura back, and Luna would hold him to his word—she did not believe that Joshua could do it.After all, if Aura came back and they failed to be on the same page, Joshua’s lies would be easily exposed.How would Joshua dare to bring Aura back? Coming out of the hospital, Joshua immediately got in the car. “Lucas, to the mental asylum.” Joshua also wanted to know how Jason escaped from such a tightly guarded mental asylum.Lucas immediately drove away.“By the way.” Joshua, in the back seat, closed his eyes and rubbed the middle of his brows. “Is there any news on the men we sent to follow Aura?”Lucas’s hands which were ho
Lynch Mansion.Granny Lynch was in the courtyard with a lollipop in one hand and a teddy bear in the other, trying to cheer Nellie up.“Be happy, my precious darling. Come on, smile. Smile for Great-Granny!”Nellie, dressed in a pink princess gown and sitting on the lawn, tried to squeeze out a smile but could not do it no matter what.When she finally could, it looked worse compared to when she was crying.Adrian furrowed his brows. “Mom, stop making it difficult for her. The doctors already said that her mental illness was due to the brain not secreting enough dopamine. You can’t make her smile happily just by asking her to smile.”He glanced at Lily, who was waiting in the distance. “Take Nellie back. Remember to feed her her medication.”Lily nodded. She cautiously walked over, carried Nellie, and took her back into the mansion.“How unfortunate.” Granny Lynch sighed. “I never once liked that kid Neil, but who would’ve thought that he’d die at such a young age of six. My pr
The only thing Adrian could do was to prevent Luna from marrying into the Lynch family! At that moment, a black Maseratee stopped at the entrance of the Lynch Mansion.The huge gate was opened, and a man in black entered majestically.Adrian came to his senses and gracefully got up, turning to look at the man behind him. “Why are you only back now? Nellie has just slept.”Joshua glowered as he sat down opposite of Adrian, flatly sweeping Adrian a glance.“I’m not here to take Nellie away. I’m here to look for you, Dad.”Joshua’s tone and gaze were so cold, Adrian could not help but slightly furrowed his brows. He smiled and sat back on the bench once more.“Is there anything?”“Of course.” Joshua took a picture from his pocket and placed it on the table. “Mr. Lynch, do you recognize this man?” Adrian calmly swept a glance at the photo. It was a photo of a fierce-looking man.He furrowed his brows and hesitated for a while.“He looks familiar, but I don’t remember where I s
