The sounds of Nigel, Nellie, and Anne’s laughter drifted out from within the room. He stood at the entrance, at an angle where they could not see him, and watched them quietly. If this scene happened before Nigel’s surgery, Luna would be moved, she would think that there was still a place for Nigel in this man’s heart. But it was already nighttime. Nigel’s surgery had been completed successfully. Just now when Anne saw him, he was still coaxing Fiona to sleep. Coming here now… He must have successfully coaxed her to sleep, and only came after.Luna found it ironic. Why was she so blindly in love with him back then? At that moment, he turned and saw Luna who stood in her spot, holding a full glass of water. Their eyes met, there was a hint of panic in his eyes. “Mr. Lynch, you’re leaving so soon? You just saw them for a short while?” Luna looked at him, her smile bright and gentle. “Why don’t you stay? Nigel has been waiting for you for a long time.” He narrowed his eyes sl
“Nigel, I told you! I told you Daddy will definitely come to visit you!” Nellie yelled excitedly as she pulled Joshua into the room.At the side of the room, Anne looked at Nellie and widened her eyes in shock. Since Nellie was diagnosed with autism, she rarely spoke unprompted. Sometimes, when others talked to her, she would even keep quiet and refuse to answer. Anne had been accompanying Luna and Nellie throughout the whole day as they waited for Nigel and this was the first time Nellie took the initiative to speak.Luna looked at Anne’s shocked expression and could not help but sigh. She remembered the last time Nellie took the initiative to speak was when Nellie asked her to stay beside Joshua, to take care of him when he was in a coma. Now, she spoke on her own initiative again, and again, it was for Joshua. Nellie’s love for her father was obvious. Luna was not angry that Nellie liked Joshua, she was just sad. For him, Nellie could even overcome her autism, and take the ini
As it turned out, even when he was visiting Nigel, a call from Fiona was all it took for him to leave without a single look back.“Daddy must be busy with work.” Nellie was worried Nigel would be hurt, so she hurriedly comforted him. “Maybe it’s serious…” The little girl held her brother’s hand. “Don’t worry, Nigel, Daddy cares about you. He loves you a lot.”Nigel smiled. “I know.”Looking at the two children pretending to be tough, not just Luna, but even Anne felt furious. She bit her lip and cursed Joshua out to herself, then patted Luna’s shoulder lightly and tried to comfort her softly. Luna did not actually need comforting. She saw him for the man he was a long time ago. But…She looked at the two cute children in front of her and could not help the bout of despair that welled up in her chest. They were just like her in the past, as long as he was slightly nicer to them, they felt as if the entire world was theirs. She was worried the children would not be able to accept i
The moment the idea popped up in her head, Luna immediately suppressed it. She shook her head.What was she thinking?Someone like Fiona would never be the one whose bone marrow was compatible with Nigel. Even if she was, would she so selflessly donate her bone marrow to Luna’s son and ask for nothing in return? Impossible. The day after Nigel was discharged from hospital, Luna returned to work at the Lynch Group. Shannon organized a simple welcoming party for her. The moment Luna pushed open the doors to the office, everyone handed her a flower one by one. “Director Luna, welcome back!” “Director Luna, congratulations on your son’s healthy recovery!”“I hope some of your good luck rubs off on me! I wish Director Luna’s son a long and happy life!” “…”Shannon, Bonnie, and Arianna who had recovered from her burns and returned to work…Out of the entire office, only two staff members did not present her with a flower distributed by Shannon. One of them was Fiona who
“Exactly!” Charmaine snorted, “All of you want to offer her son well-wishes, so why don’t you all go to her house and offer them to him personally? We’re in the office, during office hours and blessing a child who doesn’t even work here?” With that, she turned and looked at Fiona solicitously. “Fiona, you have to tell President Lynch about this!” “It’s alright.” Fiona lowered her head shyly. “Joshua himself celebrated the occasion for me during office hours… Actually, he wanted the entire office to come together and pray for my smooth recovery but I didn’t want to trouble everyone…”With that, she lowered her head, her cheeks dusted in pink. “Actually, I don’t really care whether other people wish me well or not, I’m happy as long as I have Joshua.” Luna narrowed her eyes slightly at the other woman’s words. She knew Fiona said this on purpose. She intentionally brought up Joshua, intentionally mentioned that she rejected Joshua’s suggestion for the entire office to offer he
Hearing Luna say that, Charmaine’s face lost all of its color. She bit her lip and glanced at Fiona instinctively, her voice soft and pitiful as she said, “Fiona…”Fiona narrowed her eyes slightly, a cunning light flashing through her eyes. A moment later, she pursed her lips and looked at Luna gently. “Ms. Luna, you don’t have to tell Joshua about something as minor as this, do you? Joshua has a lot on his plate, he is a very busy man.”Luna snorted, “Is he? Even if he’s busy, when the matter involves you, he wouldn’t just ignore it, would he?” The past few times, Joshua came to the design department personally every single time to play knight in shining armor. Once, he wanted to fire all three of Luna’s assistants, and the other time, he tried to force Shannon to apologize again and again.Was Joshua busy?Luna did not think so.Fiona bit her lip as if she was determined to do something. She stood up, bowed toward her solemnly, and said, “Ms. Luna, I apologize on Charmaine’
“Besides, this morning she apologized and even fell sick again. She put on such a big act, it’s impossible that she wouldn’t complain to President Lynch about this.”Luna shrugged. “Maybe Joshua hasn’t found the time to visit me yet.” Besides this, she could not think of any other reason.In the afternoon, she finally received a call from Joshua. Sitting on her chair, she looked at his name on her phone screen and a cold smirk involuntarily appeared at the corners of her lips. She sucked in a deep breath, and picked up her phone, already ready to be humiliated by him. “Mr. Lynch.”“Come to my office.”“Alright.” She had a document to give to him too. Luna walked out of her office with the document in her hands and instinctively looked in Fiona’s direction. Her seat was empty.Seeing Luna look in her direction, Charmaine who sat beside Fiona could not help but snort, lifting her chin up at Luna and said, “Fiona went to see President Lynch, you’re dead meat!” Luna narrowed her e
Luna did not invite Fiona, and she definitely did not invite Joshua to come along with them.She pursed her lips and was about to open her mouth in retort when Joshua placed a document in front of her.“Take a look.” Luna lowered her head, her attention was immediately attracted by the title of the document. “International Jewelry Design Competition?”“Yes.” Joshua leaned backward, looking at her with calm, indifferent eyes as he said, “This year’s competition will be held in Banyan City, right at our doorstep, I hope you will participate.” Luna pursed her lips, lowering her head, frowning as she flipped through the document. “I’m not very interested.” Her past self, Moon, was already a world-renowned jewelry designer. She did not have to prove herself through competitions like these. Her skills and talent were world-class. “I know.” Joshua crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes were cold and impassive. “But you’re not Moon anymore, you’re Luna. I hope you can represent
