Alice rolled her eyes. What was there to feel accomplished about in making breakfast?Just as Alice was about to retort, however, she caught sight of the way Joshua stared at Luna. Alarm bells immediately rang in her head. Luna must have said that on purpose!Alice smiled. “I used to think that way. Although it’s a small action, making breakfast for my family gave me the greatest sense of fulfillment ever.” She let out a sigh before she continued wistfully, “Unfortunately… I discovered that I couldn’t even protect the people I love. I was such a failure. Ever since then, no matter what I did, I couldn’t feel accomplished or fulfilled anymore.”Upon hearing these words, Joshua immediately turned his attention back to her. She was right. Joshua knew that he could not even begin to imagine what Alice had gone through in these six years apart. Although she had changed and she was no longer the woman he fell in love with, Joshua felt that he should not have doubted her, much less foole

“I even went to visit her grave. When I heard that she was still alive, I immediately came back to Banyan City to investigate. A few days ago, Joshua’s assistant contacted me and told me he wanted to host an art show for me because of Alice.”Luna bit her lip. “So… The reason you stayed in Banyan City is that you wanted to thank Alice in person?”Luna doubted that because ever since Theo had met Alice, he showed no indication of wanting to initiate a conversation with her.“I wanted to confirm something first,” said Theo as he brought his glass up to his lips and took a sip. “When I found out that Luna Gibson had died five years ago, I was in grief, so I researched everything about her and even went to look at her social media profiles, including her blog. I don’t believe the woman that’s with Joshua now is the real Luna Gibson. Although she claims to go by Alice now, from my knowledge of her, she wasn’t as superficial and deceiving as Alice.”Theo’s statement greatly shocked Luna,

8:29am. Luna stepped foot in the design department with a minute to spare.As soon as she entered, Shannon winked at her. “Someone’s waiting for you in your office. He’s been waiting for a while now.”Luna furrowed her brows in confusion and pushed the door open. Joshua’s lean and slender body perched on her office chair, his gaze focused on the drafts and sketches strewn all over her desk.When he heard her coming in, Joshua glanced at the time and snickered. “Came to the office with only one minute to spare. How obsessed are you with that man?” Luna paused before she offered a polite smile. She strode to Joshua’s side and snatched the draft he was holding. “Firstly, I wasn’t late. Secondly, I didn’t break any company policies. Besides, who I choose to befriend and have breakfast with is my personal business, right, Mr. Lynch?” Joshua could not help but frown at Luna’s harsh attitude. “What did I tell you last night? I told you he can’t be trusted, and you should stay away from

Joshua asked with a frown.“Well, it’s either she has ulterior motives or that she’s a saint,” said Jude as he leaned back against the couch in Joshua’s office. “Although, from what I know about her, I don’t think it’s the latter.”Joshua was sitting in his office chair as he gazed off into the distance. “Maybe she has ulterior motives…”If that was it, what was she after?Jude shifted into a more comfortable position on the couch and shot Joshua a glance. “You know, I’m not that bad-looking myself, but why are all the women always after you?”Joshua picked up his cup and took a sip of his coffee. “What are you trying to say?”“The eldest daughter of the Walters, Hailey has gone missing.” Jude yawned and gave a stretch. He raised his eyebrows at Joshua before he continued, “Mr. Walter wanted me to ask you if you’d seen her lately.”“Nope.” Joshua furrowed his brows. “I haven’t seen her in a long time.” Joshua recalled that the last time he saw her was at his and Luna’s wedding.

“How did you know I was working late tonight?” asked Luna as she munched on the food Theo had brought for her.Theo chuckled. “What if I told you I’d been waiting for you outside since 5pm?”Luna almost choked on her food. “Really?”“Of course not, silly.” Theo leaned against the chair and stretched. “When I was at your friend’s place this morning, I asked for her number, too. I called her just now, and she told me you weren’t home yet, so I guessed that you were probably still working.”Luna felt relieved upon hearing Theo’s explanation. Otherwise, she did not know how to react if Theo had indeed waited for her for more than three hours.She stuffed the rest of the food into her mouth as quickly as she could. “Let’s go.”Theo chuckled again and helped her clean up the food containers. “Let’s go. The landlord is waiting for us.”Luna nodded and followed him out of the office. Joshua had been watching everything from his position in a dark corner of the office with none of them k

Chapter 266

He still remembered what Luna had told him in the past. ‘If we have kids, I’ll teach them to be true to themselves. They should act courteous in public, but when they’re at home, they can do whatever they want.’It was apparent that Alice had forgotten her promise. It seemed that six years truly could change a person, so much so that Joshua could not recognize her anymore.He sighed and led Alice into the house. “Daddy!”“Welcome home, Daddy! We know you’ve had a long day at work!” As soon as they set foot in the house, they came face-to-face with Neil and Nellie. The two children stood to either side of the door and bowed at Joshua, smiling.Joshua immediately scowled at this sight. He took a closer look at his two children standing before him. Nellie’s face was red and tearful, while Neil’s face was etched with impatience. It was obvious that the two children had been forced to do this against their will.Joshua let go of Alice and shot her a cold glance. “Is this the so-cal

Chapter 267

As soon as Alice started crying, Joshua could not help but feel sorry for her. He sighed and pulled her into his arms. “No, please don’t think that. I’m just…really busy with work lately.”He lifted his head to wipe away the tears from under her eyes. “It’s okay. I’m home now.”With her head down, a triumphant glint flashed across Alice’s eyes. She nodded meekly and said, “That’s okay. If you’re busy, you should do work. All I needed to know is that you don’t hate the kids or me, that’s all.”Joshua gently patted her back to comfort her. “How could I hate you?” He let go of Alice and bent down to hoist Nellie into his arms. “Come on, let’s eat.”“Okay!” Alice replied. She watched as Joshua headed to the dining room with Nellie in his arms before she turned around to glower at Neil. “You recorded me? You’re not so stupid after all.”Neil grinned at her. “Well, I learned from the best, though you managed to outsmart us in the end. I guess I underestimated you.” With that, he turne

Chapter 268

Neil rolled his eyes and leaned against the couch lazily. Joshua sighed. “It’s all Luna’s fault. She’s spoiled you.”“This has nothing to do with Mommy. Fine, I’ll sit properly.” Neil could not stand hearing anyone talk bad about his mother, so he immediately sat up. “Alright. What did you want to talk to me about?”“Alice is your mother.” Joshua gave Neil a solemn look. “She’s carried you and Nellie in her womb for ten months and even suffered a car accident during her pregnancy. Life hasn’t been easy on her. I know you both have spent a lot of time with Luna and that she raised you, but it doesn’t mean you can act disrespectfully toward Alice. She’s your birth mother. Both of you are smart kids, so I’m sure you understand why she wasn’t there for you, but now that she’s back, you have to treat her with the respect she deserves.”Neil rolled his eyes. Of course, they would respect their mother, but Alice was not their birth mother—Luna was!“Answer me,” insisted Joshua coldly when

Neil glanced at Joshua with a puzzled look. “I thought you told us not to contact her.”Joshua sneered. “Since when do you even listen to me? Do you think I never noticed the new signal-jamming device you placed in the house?”Neil immediately lowered his head in shame. When Luna got released from jail, Joshua had ordered them not to contact her and even warned them that he would be able to track their cellular signals to detect if they talked to her behind his back. Neil had no choice but to ask Nigel for help and installed a signal jammer within the house. Whenever the device was switched on, the signal they used to contact their mother could not be detected. However, Neil never expected that Joshua would discover the device.“Okay, so… Shall I call her?” said Neil meekly, somewhat ashamed that his plan had been exposed. He turned around and tried to slip out of the room. “Stop.” Joshua stopped him sternly before he could leave. “You can call her right here.”Neil pulled a

Chapter 270

Alice placed the cup on the table and wrapped her arms around Joshua’s shoulders. She gently let out a soft exhale next to his ear. “I thought you said you don’t have work to do tonight?”Joshua’s brows furrowed. This interaction was normal for every couple, but somehow, her behavior annoyed and even repulsed him. Perhaps it was because they had been apart for too long, or perhaps something had changed. Joshua contemplated for a moment before finally removing her arms from his shoulder. Alice gaped at him in shock. Joshua did not seem to notice this and instead picked up the cup and took a sip. After a few more drinks, he regained his composure. “Alice, you should go to bed now. I wanted to finish up some work…”Alice frowned and shot him an exasperated look. “Joshua, do you think your work is more important than me? Ever since I returned, you’ve never even spent any quality time with me! I thought we used to be very close. Why did you change?”Joshua immediately frowned. He squ
