Joshua’s hands that were holding his fork and spoon paused slightly. Finally, he laughed lightly,
“Because you’re a divorcee and your ex-husband is a jerk, that’s why you secretly kidnapped Neil and
Nellie and raised them as your own?“
Luna raised her glass and harshly gulped down a mouthful of warm water, then shifted her eyes to
Joshua. “You can say that.“
Joshua raised his glass as well. “Why didn’t you have any children when you were with your ex-
husband?“
“He doesn’t deserve to have children.“ Placing her glass down, Luna lifted her cutlery and continued
eating. “He had an affair when I needed him the most, and even wanted to kill me to please his side
piece. What do you think, does he deserve to have children?“
If she was not already pregnant back then, she really did not want to have his children.
He did not deserve them.
Even after she gave birth to them, Luna staunchly believed the three children belonged to her and her
alone.
They had nothing to do with Joshua.
When she said these words, her eyes were fixed straight on Joshua.
Her gaze made him feel confused. As if he was the man who discarded her and hurt her.
He twisted his brows and turned to face away from her. “Then? You let him off the hook just like that?“
Luna curled her lips up in a cold smirk. “I don’t plan to let him off the hook. But he’s too powerful, I don’t
have the means to exact revenge yet.“
Joshua nodded faintly. “If you need any help, you can come to me anytime.“
Looking at him like this, Luna smiled in a taunting sneer, “Sure.“
Both of them nursed their own thoughts and worries as they ate.
When they returned to the hotel, Luna immediately spotted Alice who was waiting at the entrance to the
hotel. Under the dim yellow glow of the streetlights, her slim and petite figure stood at the entrance,
looking especially lonely and pitiful.
When they drew closer, Luna realized she seemed to have cried, her eyes red and puffy.
The car rolled to a stop in front of the hotel.
Joshua got down first. The woman immediately rushed into his arms, her eyes soft and teary, her voice
thick and nasally, as if she had been crying. “ Joshua, you’re finally back! I had a nightmare! “
Joshua laughed at her innocent and silly ways, “Even if you had a nightmare, you don’t have to stand
here waiting in front of the hotel in your pajamas.“
He pinched her nose delicately, then slung his arm around her and they both walked into the hotel
together.
The moment the doors slid open, he instinctively turned and looked back.
The car was still parked in its original spot, silent and unmoving. Luna never left the car.
“You’re not leaving?“
In the driver’s seat, Lucas turned and glanced at her helplessly. “Sir and Madam should be back in their
room by now.“
Only then did Luna recover her wits. She glanced at Luna with emotionless eyes. “Do you have a
cigarette? I need one.“
Lucas threw her an odd glance in rebuke. “You smoke?“
“No.“ Luna heaved out a long sigh, “But I sort of feel like smoking.“
The next day, Luna was awakened by Lucas’s shouts.
Because of the incident with Gwen, the few meetings in Banyan City that Joshua had scheduled for
yesterday afternoon were all delayed.
That was why they had to return to Banyan City as early as possible today. They still had an extensive
number of issues to take care of.
Sitting in the passenger seat on the drive back to Banyan City, Luna gazed deeply at the cityscape. This
had been her home for zo years. After she left today, she did not know when was the next time she
would return. ”According to our reporter on the ground, Dennis Walter of the Walter Group has been
accused by many companies of using illegal methods to build a competitive business edge for
themselves. If the accusations are indeed true to fact, Mr. Walter might be sentenced to life
imprisonment.”
