Lucas noticed how Joshua was looking at Luna and had secretly reversed the car back to
the original spot.
He then softly coaxed, “Sir, why don‘t…you go in? You
haven‘t seen the children in more than a month, too.”
Joshua furrowed his brows a little. He looked at the message on his phone once again before h e got out
of the car.
Leaning against the car, Joshua took his phone out and called Luna while looking at her on the balcony.
Luna picked the call up.
“I thought you‘d think I‘d be a party–pooper.”
Luna furrowed her brows. She swept a glance at the kids who were looking at her with their huge eyes in
the distance. She sighed a little and said, “They miss you, too.”
If they did not want Joshua to join them for a meal, Nigel would not have secretly told Luna to head to the
balcony to see Joshua‘s car. Nellie and Neil would
not have sneaked a peek at her with hopeful expressions.
Luna and Joshua‘s relationship was in a rather awkward stage at that moment, so they should meet less
frequently
However, Joshua was still the children‘s father. Also, he had just helped Luna send Anne, who was in lab
or, safely to the hospital.
It was more than alright for him to have a meal with them.
Joshua smiled and replied gently, “Okay.”
Soon, Joshua knocked on the door of the mansion. It was Bonnie who opened the door.
The moment Bonnie saw him, she rolled her eyes at him. However, she also knew that without Luna‘s pe
rmission, Joshua would not appear there. Thus, Bonnie
said nothing, treating Joshua like he was invisible, and continued doing her things.
Nellie, on the other hand, was elated. She grabbed Joshua‘s large hands and brought him to see Shelly
while recounting the interesting things that happened at their kindergarten.
“A strange lady came to our kindergarten previously. She likes to collect our hair. She said that she liked
my shiny and black hair the best, so I gave her a lot of my hair. She even gave me many cute small
gifts! But, she suddenly resigned and left a few days ago, and I could
no longer exchange my hair for small gifts…”
Listening to Nellie ramble, Joshua smiled. He hugged Nellie in his arms and told her seriously,
“You can come to me if you want small gifts. Even if it‘s just hair, you cannot give them to strangers, do y
ou hear me?”
Nellie pursed her lips and nodded her head ambiguously.
Still confused, however, she asked, “Daddy, what‘ll happen if you give your hair to others?”
“What‘ll happen is the hair that you gave away will come back haunting you as a ghost, scaring you in yo
ur dreams!” Harvey adjusted the glasses on his nose and chimed in.
Nellie‘s eyes widened and she was immediately frightened by her cousin. She wailed, “You‘re annoying!”
June, on the other side, sighed and grabbed Nellie‘s hand. She comforted Nellie, “Don‘t listent o him. He h
Luna,
who witnessed this scene, could not help but smile. She looked at Nellie and wanted to say something wh
She lowered her head and swallowed the words that she wanted to say.
Soon, it was lunch. Everyone was in a great mood, but because Bonnie had some prejudice against Josh
her meal, came up with the excuse of visiting Anne, and left.
Christopher was very dedicated, too. Even if Shelly was asleep, he still brought June to the nursery to kee
Soon, it was only Luna, Joshua, and their three children left by the dining table. A welcome party
suddenly became a private lunch for the family of five.
After lunch, Nigel, Neil, and Nellie followed Harvey upstairs to take a nap.
Joshua also got up and left.
When he was by the entrance, he stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Luna. “Are you
not going to send me off?
