Michael’s words shifted the crowd’s attention back to Neil, and everyone began to murmur among
themselves once more.
Granny Lynch also frowned hard. Yes. She also believed that Joshua did not have an affair when he was
married to Luna, but what about Jake?
He looked exactly like Nigel.
If Neil did not have the same father as Nigel and if his mother was not Luna’s biological sister, this would
not have happened!
No matter how Granny Lynch thought about it, she felt that unless Neil had been resurrected, she
could not find another explanation to justify this child’s identity.
However, Neil had been dead for months. He died in an explosion. How could he be resurrected? Even if
he was, how would he have willingly stayed by Aura’s side, being with the enemy and accusing Joshua?
Even when she hugged him a moment ago, she could clearly feel the difference between him and Neil.
Granny Lynch was confused. She lifted her head, furrowed her brows, and looked at Joshua.
“Joshua, this child…“
Joshua smiled flatly. “I won’t acknowledge this child.“ He clutched his chin and sneered.
“There are people who look alike in this world but aren’t related. Moreover, the technology for
cosmetic surgery is so advanced. How would I know if this child truly looks like that or if he was done up
by somebody else?“
The discussions were even louder than Joshua’s words.
Aura furrowed her brows and sneered. She never would have thought that Joshua would immediately
deny that the child was his.
Previously, Aura thought that no matter how heartless Joshua was, he would not deny acknowledging his
own child. He and Luna knew whose child he was.
She never would have thought that Joshua’s heartlessness was way beyond her comprehension.
Aura pursed her lips and immediately bent down to hug Neil, pretending to be hurt and covering Neil’s
ears. “Jake, don’t listen to him…“
Neil stood in the same spot and looked in Joshua’s direction defiantly with gritted teeth.
His mother did not want him to listen to Joshua, but he was not deaf. How could he not hear that?
Joshua refused to acknowledge him as his son.
Previously, his mother had even secretly done a paternity test with him and Joshua. The test was still
under his pillow where he slept. Joshua was his biological father!
Neil knew that he was the illegitimate son. He knew that he could not be like the other two kids, enjoying
Joshua’s tenderness.
However…
He never would have thought that Joshua would publicly deny his identity in front of so many people.
Joshua said that he was not his child, that it was a coincidence he looked exactly like Nigel. He even
said that he might have undergone cosmetic surgery to become how he looked at that moment.
The six—year—old kid forced his tears back. He did not know why, but he had always been eager for a
father’s love and care. It was as if before he lost his memory, that was the thing he wanted the most.
However, at that moment, looking at Joshua’s reaction, he felt sorry for himself. Mother was right. Joshua
was a scumbag, one that was enamored with the new and got bored with the old.
Because he did not like his mother anymore, he chased her out of Banyan City. Now that his mother had
brought him back, Joshua was refusing to acknowledge him as his son!
Luna took in every single expression of Neil.
She bit her lip, almost unable to hold herself back. She wanted to walk toward him and hug him, telling
him that it was not real. It was not that Joshua did not want to acknowledge him as his son, it was that
Joshua’s hands were tied. He could not do it.
Luna only took a step forward when Nigel pulled her back, his deep eyes boring into hers. “Don’t go.“
Luna was silent for a while. In the end, she stopped in her tracks.
Nigel was much more sensible than her. At that moment, even if she were to rush over and hug Neil,
even if she were to tell him…
