Early the next morning, Luna got a call from Joshua the moment she woke up.
“Yuri is waiting for you downstairs, we’ll be spending a week in Sea City, pack your stuff.“
Luna ended the call in frustration.
When she lowered her phone, she glanced at the time, it was barely 7am.
He had tortured her for so long last night, how was he still so energetic?
After washing herself, Luna walked out of the bedroom and saw Nellie and Neil standing in the living
room and the huge suitcase beside them.
Seeing her emerge from her room, the two kids grinned at her. “Have a nice trip! “
She laughed at the sight of them and walked toward them, opening the suitcase.
Inside was seven days’ supply of her clothes and daily necessities. Her unfinished drawings were folded
neatly into the compartment at the side.
Without even thinking, she knew this was definitely Nellie’s handiwork.
Even though Neil was thoughtful, he was still a boy.
Luna raised her hand and ruffled her daughter’s hair. “Thank you.“
The little girl pursed her lips unhappily. “I wanted to go with you, but Daddy said you’re there for
business, and didn’t let me and Neil come along.“
At her words, Neil sighed, raised his hand and matted his mother’s shoulder, “After my persuasion, Mr.
Lynch agreed to bring Zach and Yuri along as company. You can ask them for help if anything happens.“
Then, the little guy sighed again, speaking to her as if he was the parent instead, “Mommy, this is the
first time you’re going on a long trip without us, you have to take good care of yourself.“
Luna did not know whether to laugh or cry, she looked at the two children in front of her. “Just take care
of yourselves. Mommy is an adult, I can take care of myself.“
Nellie pouted. “Adults can make us worry too.“ Luna was silent.
She spoiled them too much, that’s why they would belittle her so mercilessly right in front of her.
The woman sighed, reminded Neil to take care of his sister once again, and walked out dragging the
suitcase behind her.
Downstairs, Yuri saw her approaching and hurriedly loaded her suitcase into the car as he said, “Mr.
Lynch said we should leave for Sea City directly, the journey will take around four to five hours. You’re
not prone to car-sickness, are you?“
Luna shook her head and raised her foot and boarded the car.
Joshua had already left, Yuri picked her up and immediately headed for the expressway.
On the journey, Luna was bored and listened mindlessly to Yuri’s stories about his group of friends who
all came from the mountains.
As she listened, she was suddenly reminded of the man Yuri mentioned previously, the one who was
childhood friends with Bonnie.
“Oh him.“
Yuri sighed, “A few days ago he mentioned, his boss from six years ago gave him another job. He’ll be
back in Banyan City in a few days’ time. It’ll most likely be another assassination of some kind, I don’t
want to keep in touch with him anymore…“
Luna’s heart sank gradually into the depths of her chest.
This man was the driver who knocked into her six years ago, the man who finally kicked her off the
bridge.
Back then he was hired by Joshua and Aura.
Now, Aura was sent to study abroad, effectively cutting her off from the outside world.
But if it was not Aura who asked him to come back… Then it could only be Joshua.
Her thoughts linked to how Joshua immediately left to see Hailey the day after he announced he was
divorcing Alice…
Wave after wave of chills enveloped her chest. Did this man plan to use the trick again and condemn
Alice to death?
Even though Alice was her enemy, undeniably, Alice was now hiding behind her identity.
He wanted to kill Luna Gibson again.
Closing her eyes, Luna felt the chill enveloping her heart was even colder than the harshest winter night.
