However, Joshua’s face inexplicably appeared on Neil’s mind.
What happened was…
On the night of Luna’s birthday, when Neil went to look for Joshua, Joshua did not even seem surprised.
It was as if he long expected Neil would turn out.
Neil did not bother saying much to him. He immediately picked up the knife and aimed it at Joshua’s
stomach. However, he could not do it.
He knew that as long as he did what his mother asked of him, Uncle Theo would not suffer that much
anymore.
Neil also knew that Joshua, the man in front of him, was someone who had done something wrong to
him. The scumbag who wronged his mother.
It would not be a pity if Joshua died. He deserved it. However, the moment Neil picked up the knife,
every fiber of his being resisted him. In the end, he still did not stab Joshua.
Looking at him hesitating, Joshua laughed. “Why? You can’t do it?“
Joshua smiled and looked at Neil. “But if I’m not hurt, you’ll be punished, right?“
Joshua’s calm look made Neil, who had the knife in his hand, tremble involuntarily.
Joshua chuckled. “I don’t know what plans you have in the future, but I hope you remember that you owe
me this time.“
Then, Joshua gripped Neil’s hand and stabbed himself.
Neil’s eyes widened. He looked at Joshua, releasing his hand from the knife.
Joshua’s weak voice rang in his ears. “Remember, you owe me this. Now that you’ve hurt me, you can
no longer hurt my family.“
Neil, at that time, was so shocked that he was rendered speechless. It was only after a long while did he
frantically turn around and leave.
Thinking back about that day, Neil closed his eyes. He thought Joshua would report to the police or seek
revenge, but he did not.
Even if he had almost died and almost did not come around, he still did not go after Neil.
It was like the incident did not happen after Joshua gained consciousness.
The night before, because Neil was angry at Joshua for denying his identity publicly, Neil decided to
renege on their deal. He immediately picked up the knife and walked to Nellie.
However, a voice in his heart kept stopping him loudly, so…he still gave up in the end.
Neil closed his eyes and sighed. He was still not cruel enough. He was not worthy of being his mother’s
son. No wonder she did not like him.
Coming out of the kid’s room, Luna returned to her room and took a shower.
She went drinking with Anne and Bonnie the night before, and later on, she was drenched in the rain.
The smell on her body was unpleasant.
Coming out from the shower, her phone rang. It was a foreign number.
Luna furrowed her brows. She hesitated for a while before picking it up.
“My dear fiancée. Can’t you recognize my voice? I’m your fiancé! “
Michael’s disgusting and lecherous voice came from the other end of the call.
“I wanted to call you this morning, but the rain was too heavy, so I waited until the rain subsided to call
you.”
Luna furrowed her brows and bore through the strong urge to hang up the call. “What are you calling me
for?”
“Of course, there’s something. ” Michael’s tone was rather cold. “I wanted to discuss with you our
wedding date.”
