The crowd began to wonder. If it was a marriage announcement, the groom should be there. Why was
Joshua not there? Why was it only Aura and Granny Lynch announcing the marriage?
“Because Joshua is not here.“
Malcolm, who was on the sofa, looked at the stage. He smiled a little. “A few minutes ago, Joshua got a
call. His father was at the airport and asked him to pick him up.“
Luna furrowed her brows. “Joshua’s father is coming?“
She has married Joshua for many years, not once has she seen his father.
It was said that Joshua’s mother died when she gave birth to him, from then onward, his father has been
depressed ever since. Wallowed himself in drinking. He was not willing to even look at Joshua.
In his eyes, Joshua was bad luck. If there was no Joshua, his wife would not have died, so he has never
once taken part in Joshua’s life.
Joshua rarely mentioned his father too.
Back then, Luna had to ask the older servants about Joshua’s father. The servants told her that he has
never been back to Banyan City for a long time.
His father found a traveling diary that belonged to his mother before she died, so Joshua’s father took
her ashes to travel the world.
“Perhaps it’s because of his mother’s eightieth birthday.“
Malcolm shrugged. “But, this is a good show. Joshua went to pick his father up. He would most likely be
back only half an hour later. These two announce the marriage when he’s not around. When Joshua
comes back, everything has been set in stone. They played a good move.“
Luna pursed her lips. She suddenly stood up.
Malcolm furrowed his brows. “What are you doing?“
“I’m taking Nellie away.“ She overestimated Joshua. I f Joshua could not deal with Aura’s schemes, how
dare he confidently say that he could protect Nellie?
Aura’s hostility toward Nellie was obvious!
If Joshua could not even protect Nellie, she had to take Nellie away before he announced her identity to
the family!
“Luna! “
Malcolm frowned and pulled her back. “How are you planning to take her away? Joshua’s men are all
around. You can’t possibly manage to escape with Nellie. If you get caught, how are you going to explain
yourself? Are you going to tell Joshua that you are actually…“
Bang!
Before Malcolm could say any further, the door of the venue was slammed open.
The audience looked toward the sound.
A man in a navy blue suit was standing by the door. He was carrying a little girl in a dress in his arms,
slowly walking in.
It was no one other than Joshua Lynch, who was supposed to be on the way to the airport.
On stage, Aura panicked. She subconsciously looked at Granny Lynch and said in hushed tones, “Isn’t
he supposed to pick uncle up?“
Granny Lynch looked confused too. “I sent him away Because of Aura’s jewelry, Granny Lynch and Aura
came up with a plan that night. They got Joshua’s father to arrive right before the banquet, then they got
him to call Joshua to pick him up. Although Joshua was not close to his father, he was still a filial son
after all. He would still pick him up. When he left, the two of them would announce the marriage.
By the time Joshua came back, everything would be set in stone. He would not dare to make a fuss
during Granny Lynch’s birthday banquet.
They thought that their plan was flawless. They did not expect that Joshua would be back so soon.
“Granny, surprised to see me?“
Joshua, who was carrying Nellie, walked toward the stage.
Everyone was looking at Joshua and the little girl in his arms.
