Luna became silent once she heard Nigel’s words. A moment later, she bit her lip and looked at Nigel. “
Anyone else besides Neil?“
The little boy pondered her question for a while, then shook his head quietly. “No. Just Neil.“ He preferred
peace and quiet, and he had been critically
ill for quite some time, besides his siblings, he had no other friends. Nellie had her heart set on jewelry
design like her mother, she was not interested in hacking and such at all. That was why every time he
designed a new code, he would share it with Neil.
To tell the truth, Nigel knew that Neil was not really interested in such dry and dull topics, but he was so
gentle and understanding, he knew his brother needed someone to share his joy with, so every time he
would pay full attention to learning such skills. As such, even though Neil himself was not a highly skilled
hacker, he mastered the techniques that Neil taught him until he understood them like the back of his
hand.
“I don’t think he’s Neil.“ Nigel sighed, “Even though Nellie and I are both sure that Neil is still alive and
living somewhere in a corner of the world but…“
The little boy took a deep breath. “If he can communicate with the outside world, the first thing he would
do is contact us, and not hide in the dark like this, fighting against me with the techniques that I taught
him.“
He shook his head as he spoke, as if he was comforting Luna and more so, comforting himself. ” No , he
wouldn’t.” Then, he turned and stood at the door. He tilted his head and glanced at Luna. ” Mommy, it’s
late, I need to sleep. Aren’t you heading to bed?”
Only then did Luna break herself out of her reverie and smiled faintly at her son. ”I’m coining.”
After she returned to the villa at Nigel’s heels, Joshua had put Nellie to bed in the guest room. When she
tucked Nigel into bed in the children’s room, she realized Nellie was absent, so she went to the guest
room to search for her. As a result, she saw the father and daughter lying asleep on the bed in the
Guest room, their hands wrapped around each other.
Joshua was still wearing his usual white shirt and long, black dress pants. The buttons of his shirt
remained tightly fastened, making him look cautious and formal.
Nellie on the other hand, was wearing her pajamas with the print of the rabbit hugging a carrot, sleeping
comfortably. At that moment , Joshua was hugging his daughter tightly while the little girl was fast asleep,
one tiny fist lay open in relaxation, while her other hand rested on his face.
The little girl was a fluff of pink with her tiny hand on the man’s cold and well-defined features. The scene
tickled Luna’s chest, and also warmed her.
Out of the triplets, Nellie was the one who took after her father the most. Now with the two of them
wrapped around each other, an indescribable feeling bubbled in Luna’s chest.
She sighed and walked over quietly, removing Nellie’s hand from her father’s face, then arranged her
into a more comfortable position and finally pulled the blankets over the two of them and shut the door,
and left.
Even though Joshua could be very cruel and heartless at times, right now… She did not have the heart
to destroy this warm moment between the father and daughter.
After all… Since birth, out of the triplets, Nellie was the one who craved for her father the most.
Returning to her room, Luna showered and gathered her wits about her, but no matter what she tried,
sleep eluded her.
The image that appeared in her mind repeatedly was Nigel’s confused and worried expression in the little
garden when he told her about Neil. He said this hacker had been helping Fiona and Aura in the dark the
past few times. Luna recalled how upset he looked when he could not crack his own code.
She closed her eyes. Could it be… Neil was the one who had been helping Fiona and Aura in the
shadows all along?
She recalled when Nigel pretended to be Neil and cooperated with Fiona, accusing her of being mentally
ill. Then she remembered a few days when Fiona was released, how the bodyguard said that Nigel was
the one who took Fiona away.
But at that time, Nigel was with Nellie and Granny Lynch at Yellowstone Village, the old lady’s hometown.
