“Joshua Lynch! “ Luna glared at him. “Don’t make me hate you! “
Joshua’s hand stiffened.
The distress and resentment in her eyes made him pause in his tracks, but this hesitation lasted for only
a moment. A few seconds later, Joshua sneered.
He just wanted to find out who this hacker was that helped Luna all the while. He did not intend on doing
anything bad to that mysterious hacker. Why would she hate him because of that?
Joshua pressed the button, but a childish voice rang out from the necklace, “Mommy! If you encounter
any troubles, don’t be sad! Nellie will always be here for you. Neil said that we should record our voices
and keep them in this necklace so that it’ll feel like we’re always there next to you.“
All of a sudden, Neil’s voice rang out, “Even though we’re not physically there with you anymore, you still
have to take care of yourself. You’re such a trusting person, and I’m always scared that you’ll be bullied.
Please remember to take your meals on time, and go to bed on time, too. Just because we’re not there
with you anymore doesn’t mean you can disregard your health.“
The last thing they heard was Neil and Nellie’s unanimous voices, “Mommy, we love you.“
The room fell into silence. After a few moments, the children’s recording repeated. “Mommy! If you
encounter any troubles, don’t be sad! Nellie will always be here for you…“
Joshua froze upon hearing this. He lowered his head in shame. “This…“
“Are you happy now?! “ Luna cried out as tears streamed down her face. She snatched the necklace
from his hand and put it back on. “I’ve lived with Neil and Nellie for six years! Separating us wasn’t
enough, and now you want to take away the messages they’ve recorded for me, too?“
Joshua lowered his gaze. Luna’s familiar face hovered before him, but it was covered in tears. Her tears
slid along the curve of her jawline and fell onto the rug beneath her.
“I ‘m sorry.“ This was the first time Joshua felt that his actions had crossed a line.
Perhaps the only reason she touched her necklace last night was that she wanted to listen to the
children’s messages. She just wanted to listen to their voices, but he misinterpreted the entire situation.
Joshua closed his eyes. “I thought this necklace was “I don’t know what hacker you’re talking about. This
necklace means the world to me because it’s the only thing I have left that connects me to Neil and
Nellie. If you want to know who gave me this necklace, I can tell you. It was Neil, but you don’t believe
me, do you?“ She lifted her head and fixated her gaze on him.
Joshua let out a chuckle. “You’re kidding me. How can Neil even know—”
“Do you even understand him?” interjected Luna before Joshua could finish his sentence. “Neil and
Nellie have returned to Blue Bay Villa for a long time now, but have you ever tried to get to know them
and learn what they like or what they’re good at?
“Your father was the one who discovered Nellie’s talent and love for jewelry designing. What about Neil,
then? Do you know anything about your son? ” snapped Luna. “What do you do all day, besides
obsessing over Alice?
“You’re a terrible father, ” Luna spat. “Of course, Alice is just as terrible a mother. I guess you both truly
are made for each other.”
Luna let out a sigh and pulled open the door behind him. “It’s getting late now, Mr. Lynch. Please hurry
back so you can go to bed with your wife.”
Joshua frowned upon hearing her steely tone. He glanced at her with a somewhat complicated
expression. “Luna.”
