“Okay, I’m back home. Let’s discuss this again in the afternoon.“
Hanging up Anne’s call, Luna collected her thoughts and entered the villa. Usually, at this moment, the
villa should be in a lively atmosphere. Nigel and Nellie would bug Joshua to have breakfast together,
Nellie would be cheeky during breakfast. She would be able to make Nigel and Joshua, who were
usually quiet, laugh.
However, that day, the living room was extremely quiet. The food on the dining table had been finished,
there was no sign of Nigel, Nellie, or Joshua in the living room.
Luna furrowed her brows. She and Lily placed the groceries in the kitchen, while she asked the butler.
“Ma’am, you don’t know about this…“
The butler sighed and said in a suppressed tone, “ Not long after you left, Mr. Lynch did indeed have
breakfast with Nigel and Nellie, but not long after, three uninvited guests showed up. Master Lynch
brought his current wife and illegitimate son over, yelling at Mr. Lynch about getting engaged with you
without notifying them…
“Nigel and Nellie had a few mouthfuls before heading upstairs. Mr. Lynch…was extremely unhappy
because of them. He is currently working on the study.“
Then, the butler looked at Luna meaningfully. “Do you want to go check on him? He is still weak, yet he
got so angry, it might…“
The butler has not finished his sentence when Luna already took off her coat and threw it to Lily. She
went upstairs. “I’ll go have a look.“
Standing in the living area looking at Luna’s anxious yet efficient actions, Lily sighed and turned to look at
the butler.
“Say, do you think Ma’am really doesn’t like Mr. Lynch?“
The butler scratched his head. “We should not speculate about our master’s lives.“
Lily pursed her lips. She hung up Luna’s coat and wanted to continue her work in the kitchen when a
message popped up on her phone.
(Mr. Quinn is asking you about Ms. Luna’s and Joshua’s engagement.]
Lily furrowed her brows and looked around. Once she made sure that there was no one around, she
burrowed into the kitchen and replied, (It’s fake. It’s all a ruse.]
(Is the engagement really fake?]
(Yes. I’m sure.]
After sending the message, Lily took a deep breath and kept her phone.
In the beginning, Lily was sent over by Malcolm to monitor Luna and Joshua. However, at that moment,
she was a little reluctant to return.
When Luna pushed open the door to the study, Joshua was in his wheelchair, looking at his documents
seriously.
A mountainous pile of documents and folders was placed on his table. Lucas sent them over that
moment. For the past few days, although Joshua’s body was not in great shape, he has never stopped
working.
Luna was afraid that his body would not be able to take it, so she always came over to help him.
Although she did not know about trade and business, she could read the contents of the documents to
Joshua. She could even annotate the documents according to Joshua’s ideas.
At that moment, seeing Joshua reading the documents himself, Luna could not help but shake her head.
She walked over and gently snatched over the documents, then she said next to him.
“Why did you not wait for me?“
Joshua smiled. “I had nothing to do, so I came to work first.“
“Didn’t I say without my permission, you cannot simply work?“ Luna rolled her eyes at him. Then, she
read the rest of the documents to him. Then, according to what he said, she wrote his thoughts and
opinions on the documents. When she finished that document and was about to start on the next one,
Joshua calmly said, “Luna.“
