After looking at Joshua’s car leaving, Luna turned around and looked at John.“Are you alright?” John shook his head, his face pale. “I’m fine.”Then, he turned to look at Joshua’s car leaving. He sighed heavily and said, “Luna, Anne said things without thinking just now... Would that affect your plans?”Luna shook her head. “What could she possibly affect?”Looking at Fiona, she probably had guessed that Luna would investigate into her faking her illness, no?Since she dared to fake her illness flaring up in front of them, that was a provocation. She was fearless. The more Fiona was like that, the more curious Luna got.What on earth did Fiona have on Robert Jenson that she could be so sure Robert Jenson would not retract his diagnosis and expose her?“John…” Anne’s voice came from behind. She sounded heartbroken.Luna turned around and saw Anne hugging John’s injured arm. Tears involuntarily fell from her face.“It’s all my fault.”If she did not roll her eyes at Fiona
“Why is Nellie suddenly designing again?”When Nellie was diagnosed with autism, she would hug her sketch board and design every day. She would not interact with anybody.Thus, later on, the doctor forbade Nellie from designing, forcing her to put her focus on something else. That was also why when Nellie recovered, Luna also did not allow her to continue designing.Nellie was also understanding, and she did not continue sketching. However, why was she already sketching designs only after being with Joshua for less than two days? Was it because it was too boring there?“It’s not because I’m bored,” Nellie’s child-like yet honest voice rang through. “I promised Great-Granny that I’d design a set of jewelry especially for her.”Nellie sounded happy. “Great-Granny has been living with Fiona for the past few days. She already starts to think that you’re a good person, Mommy. She even praised you for your exceptional character, that you could actually educate me so well, to actively
“Sure, let’s invite Luna over tonight, then.” Granny Lynch did not even give it any thought before agreeing to Fiona’s suggestion.On one hand, she was really heartbroken for Nigel and Nellie. They had been living with Luna all this while before they were abruptly brought over to take care of Fiona, the ill woman.On the other hand, Granny Lynch also wanted Fiona to see for herself, when Luna came over, what it took to be a woman worthy of helping Joshua take care of his children.“But…” At that moment, Nigel, who had been silent all this while, lifted his gaze and looked at Fiona.“Aunty Fiona, although we miss Mommy, I don’t think she’ll want to come here to see you being together with Daddy.” Nellie, by the side, also pursed her lips and nodded.“If you really think that us being apart from our Mommy is terrible, why don’t you be charitable? Try talking to Daddy. Persuade him to send us back to live with Mommy.” Fiona furrowed her brows at what the children said. She sighed
Nigel only took a step when he suddenly thought of something and turned around.“If you can’t let us go back to our Mommy, we’ll still be happy to see her for a while.”Nigel, Nellie, and Granny Lynch then left, hand in hand.Fiona was rooted where she stood as she watched the three of them leaving, gritting her teeth harshly as she did.Previously, she only wanted to go along with Aura’s plan to say that Luna was mentally ill and had her children taken away from her.However, she did not expect that Granny Lynch would come with the two kids!Granny Lynch had a weird temper and was also rather passive-aggressive. Too bad she was Joshua’s elder, whom Joshua had always respected.It turned out, at that moment, Granny Lynch, Nigel, and Nellie joined forces and were on the same side. She had become the one being bullied at home! At that thought, resentment rose in Fiona’s eyes. She narrowed her eyes and clenched her fists tightly.Thank goodness she was prepared! She was going to
“What nonsense are you talking about?”Joshua furrowed his brows and glared at Fiona. He also knew that Fiona did not have much time left, but it was for that very reason that he felt she should not say such ominous things.After a while, Joshua sighed heavily.“Since you want Luna to come over, I won’t stop you.”Fiona bit her lip a little at Joshua’s words. “But, Joshua, I need your help…”Joshua could not help but furrowed his brows at Fiona’s words.“You want me to help?”“Yes.” Fiona walked to Joshua’s side. She reached out and tugged on Joshua’s arms, gently swinging them.“You know about our feud. If I’m to look for her and contact her on my own, she’d definitely think that I’m up to something and would flat out refuse.“Also, I want to apologize to her after we meet. I want to give her a surprise. I’d seem more sincere, too. So…”Fiona sighed and said, “I think it still should be you inviting Luna over.”Then, Fiona blinked her innocent eyes at Joshua. “I’m sure yo
It looked like Aura was right. All her hard work all this while has gone to waste.No matter how hard she tried, she was no match for Luna in Joshua’s heart. He only had Luna in his heart and eyes. All the things he did were for Luna.Why?Why would such a good man like Joshua have a b*tch like Luna in his heart?Fiona was unwilling to accept the fact. She could not accept it.She secretly clenched her fists.That night, she wanted Joshua to see for himself how the woman he adored the most killed his grandmother, whom he respected the most!By then, she wanted to see whose side Joshua would pick when the two most important women in his life went up against each other!…It was 10 in the morning. The sun was bright.Luna was in a good mood. She brought out her easel and paint supplies from the villa to the little gazebo in the backyard garden. She was about to paint the scene of the garden when her phone rang.It was from Shannon.“Director Luna.” Shannon, on the other end
Luna gracefully picked her bag up and left, all while Lily watched her in shock.Before she left, she did not forget to stuff the medication she bought the night before into her bag.Half an hour later, Luna was already outside Joshua’s office. She took a deep breath and adjusted her breathing before lifting her hand and knocking on Joshua’s office door.“Enter.”She only knocked a few times when Joshua’s low voice came from inside. Luna smiled and walked in with a rather mocking expression.“I heard Shannon say that you have a lot of places that you don’t understand regarding our design this time?”Joshua looked at her calmly and responded. He pointed at the seat in front of him.“Have a seat.”Luna gracefully sat down. “I thought that a smart person like you would be able to understand a simple design of mine. It looks like I’ve overestimated you, Mr. Lynch.”Joshua narrowed his eyes. He could hear the mockery in Luna’s tone.He raised his eyebrows. “Every person has their
Joshua was already by the door when he noticed that Luna was still standing in the same spot. He could not help but furrowed his brows. “Why aren’t you going?”Luna came to her senses. She took a deep breath and immediately caught up with him.“I’m coming.”Joshua took Luna to Bamboo Palace, which was one of Banyan City’s best restaurants. It had an elegant environment and was famous for its dishes.Luna thought that it was a little insulting and ironic that Joshua brought her there. The previous few times that she went to the restaurant were with Theo. Theo even confessed his love to her there, too.Joshua knew about that, too. Luna could not comprehend why he would bring her there. Was he trying to get back for her mockery a moment ago, or did he really think that this was the suitable place?“Didn’t you say not to simply brush you off?”Once they entered the private room, Joshua immediately passed the menu from the waiter to Luna.“The food in Bamboo Palace is no joke. I’m
