“Tell me—what’ll happen if I make a police report right now?”Yvonne’s face instantly turned miserably pale upon Luna’s words.The man holding Yvonne looked at her in his arms. He could not help but narrow his eyes as he glared at Luna fiercely.“You heartless b*tch! No wonder your son died!”He reached his hands out to comfort Yvonne in his arms while pointing at Luna, barking, “This matter has happened so long ago, yet you still want to put the blame on my wife? Why did your son die but not other people’s? It’s all because you’re evil and have done so many bad things all the time! “I hear you have more than one child. Maybe because of how evil you are usually, your other children would also—”His words utterly aggravated Luna.Before he could finish her sentence, Luna angrily picked up the things beside her and threw them brutally at that man. “I dare you to say that one more time!”The man was in pain, but shrugging off everything else, he let go of Yvonne and rushed at L
Joshua was a famous public figure in Banyan City.Upon Yvonne’s words, the surrounding crowd started looking for Joshua and had dispersed by quite a bit.Luna was pinned on the ground. The moment she lifted her head, she saw Fiona clutching at her chest where her heart was while tugging on Joshua’s arm outside the crowd.Her body was pressed onto the cold, hard floor. She saw how Joshua initially wanted to come over but stopped because of what Fiona said.Luna closed her eyes. Her heart sank to the bottom.Joshua must have seen what was happening, and that was why he came over. However, just because of something Fiona said, he turned around.Was this the man who loved her deeply for so many years? He knew she was about to be beaten up. He also knew she could not go up against Yvonne and her husband.Alas, he abandoned all of his worries for her and turned around again, just because of something Fiona said.Yvonne’s fat husband’s slap was about to land on her.Luna shut her e
It was plain to see Luna was the one that needed Joshua’s care and protection.What happened instead was…Christian did not know where the urge came from, but he took a deep breath and determinedly carried Luna.Finding herself mid-air, Luna yelped and looked at Christian, who was carrying her. She started to struggle. “What are you doing? Let me down!”“Let you down? Can you even walk on your own?” Christian rolled his eyes at her and walked past the crowd with her in his arms. “You can’t even stand on your own. What’s the point of you pretending to be strong?”Luna bit her lip, not saying anything. It was true; she could not stand on her own. She did not know whether it was because she was too angry a moment ago, or she exerted too much strength when she was hitting Yvonne, or she felt extremely terrible seeing Joshua hugging Fiona.Regardless, Christian was right. She could no longer stand on her own. She was not sure how long it would take for her to regain her strength.
Christian carried Luna to a nearby hospital.Luna had worn thin clothes due to the summer weather, and although her injuries were not serious, she sustained some bruises when she was pinned to the ground.Also, the floor of the seafood market was dirty. If dirt were to enter her wound and it was not dealt with, the consequences would be dire.When they got to the hospital, the doctor started to treat Luna’s injuries.The disinfectant created white bubbles on Luna’s wound.Christian frowned deeply. He could feel the burning pain on the skin just by looking at it.On the other hand, Luna, whose wounds were being cleaned, made not a single noise.The sight stunned him. He secretly took a short clip of a video and sent it to Joshua.When Joshua received Christian’s video, Joshua was already on the way home with Fiona.He was leaning back in the backseat, and Fiona was lying on his lap, already asleep.Joshua played the video, and it showed a woman whose wounds were being cleaned
Joshua sneered.“No matter how young she looks, she’s still a mother of a six-year-old. How is she a good match with a nineteen-year-old man?”Fiona bit her lip. She suddenly did not know what to say.After a long while, she took a deep breath. “Joshua, just treat it as if I'm not good with words. You’re right—they’re not a good match. Even if they are, we shouldn’t help them. Even if they get together, we have to split them up. Otherwise, I’m sure you’ll be uncomfortable looking at them being together.”Fiona then looked at Joshua with her huge watery eyes. “Am I right?”Joshua tensed up a little.He shifted his gaze to look at the scenery that flew past outside the window instead.“I won’t be uncomfortable. This topic ends here.”Fiona bit her lip. She wanted to say something else, but she stopped when she saw how darkened Joshua’s expression was.She lowered her head. A hint of maliciousness flashed across her eyes.Joshua kept saying that he did not care, but was that tru
Hearing how Mrs. Collins’ voice was getting further, Luna hurriedly changed her clothes, opened the door, and chased after her in the direction of her voice.However, she could not even see her shadow.Luna bit her lips. She wanted to continue searching for her when Christian’s voice rang out from behind. “What are you searching for?”Luna pursed her lips. She looked in the direction in which Mrs. Collins left once again. Once she made sure that she could no longer see her, Luna sighed heavily and said, “Nothing.”When Luna brought Christian back to Blue Bay Villa, her two kids were still sitting on the sofa waiting for her as usual.Seeing how she brought a stranger back, Nigel furrowed his brows. He looked at Christian with a little hostility.“Mommy, this is…?”Luna calmly introduced while placing the nutritious foods on the table together with Christian.“This is my new friend, Mr. Christian Moore. You can call him Uncle Christian.”Christian almost spat his water out wh
She opened Luna’s social media. The first post she saw was Joshua’s.It was a photo of the night sky. There was no caption.Nellie secretly rolled her eyes.Her mommy brought a strange man home, yet her daddy was still looking at the night sky as if nothing had happened? Did he not have any sense of crisis and urgency? Nellie pursed her lips and suddenly had an idea. She took a photo of Christian, Luna, and Nigel chatting together. Then, she posted it on Luna’s social media.When he received Jude’s call, Joshua was on the second-floor balcony in Orchard Manor, working on his laptop under the moonlight.“Joshua, what’s going on? Since when did your nephew Christian Moore know Luna? I saw her post on social media. They seem tight. They were eating together and laughing about it! Your nephew and your ex-wife are together. Even your son agrees. How can you bear it?”Joshua narrowed his eyes. “What nonsense are you talking about?”“I’m not talking nonsense! Go look at Luna’s soci
When Joshua reached Blue Bay Villa, Luna was just seeing Christian out.The two of them were laughing and chatting while coming out of the villa.Joshua parked in a dark corner and rolled his window down. He could hear their voices in the night breeze.Luna was wearing newly bought clothes walking in front. She smiled and walked together with Christian.“I’m very sorry for today. I wanted to let you have a taste of my cooking, but the accident at the market…”Then, Luna smiled and looked at Christian. “But it’s fine. Nothing will happen tomorrow. Why don’t you come over tomorrow and try it out.”Christian chuckled. “Okay. That’s great too. I did not bring things over today. I’ll bring them over tomorrow for you.”Then, Christian turned to look at Luna. “Right, by the way, what do Nigel and Nellie like? I can’t come empty-handed tomorrow.”Luna laughed helplessly, “You don’t need to bring gifts for them. Visiting them is the best gift you could give them.”Christian has already
