Luna's mind was filled with questions when she noticed this stark contrast between Joshua's current
attitude and just hours ago.
That afternoon, Joshua had expressed repulse and disgust toward Yannie, so why had he changed his
mind about her in just a few hours? "Daddy must've noticed how pretty Aunt Yannie is, so he wants to
keep her by Mommy's side."
Neil, who had been eating his dinner in silence all this while, pursed his lips when he sensed Luna's
puzzlement.
"All men are the same! Even someone like Daddy has gotten tired of staring at Mommy for such a long
time!"
He let out a sigh and added, "We're so disappointed in you, Daddy.Even if you thought Aunt Yannie
was pretty, you shouldn't try to find excuses to keep her by Mommy's side.
"If you visit Mommy at her work in the future, there's no way to explain whether you're there to visit
Mommy or Aunt Yannie!"
Joshua's expression darkened upon hearing this.
"What nonsense is this?"
What was this boy talking about? He turned to glance at Luna and protested, "Don't listen to him."
Luna was amused by this exchange.
She knew that Neil had said this on purpose as a joke, but Joshua had always been a strict, no-
nonsense man, which was why he had failed to understand Neil's mockery.She could not help bursting
into laughter when she saw Joshua trying desperately to explain himself.She turned to meet his gaze
earnestly and said, "Well, since you're not keeping Yannie by my side so you can see her more
often...why don't you tell me the reason you changed your mind about letting me hire her?"
Joshua fell silent upon hearing this.
A split second later, he let out a cough and turned his head away.
"That's none of your business."
On one hand, he did not want to let Luna know that he had sent Lucas to follow Mrs.Flores, and on the
other hand...
He had yet to figure out the relationship between Mrs.Flores, Father Samuel, and Thomas Howard.He
did not want to reveal too much to Luna lest she became worried about this, too.
"Daddy, if you don't tell us the truth, I'll assume that I was right that you wanted to keep Aunt Yannie by
Mommy's side because you like her!"
Neil winked at him and grinned mischievously.
Joshua furrowed his brows and finally realized that his roguish son had been messing with him.
He rolled his eyes at Neil and said, "Your Mommy will be devastated if I fell for another woman."
"She won't be!"
Neil grinned.
"Mommy will easily find another man that suits her! I'll be the first one to introduce them to her!"
Seeing that Neil was fooling around with Joshua, Nellie raised her hand to join in.
"I think that Mr.Howard that we met today is an excellent match for Mommy!"
Then, she cocked her head in deep thought and added, "On second thought...Mr.Howard had been
willing to lower his charges to work with Mommy, and even kidnapped Uncle Sean and Aunt Kate
beforehand because he was worried Mommy would reject him "
She widened her eyes in sudden realization and exclaimed, "Do you think that Mr.Howard can possibly
be in love with Mommy?"
"Just shut up and eat your dinner."
All of a sudden, Nigel, who had been silent all this while, lifted his head to shoot Nellie a murderous
glare.
The look in his eyes was so cold that Nellie could not help shuddering before she lowered her head to
stare at her plate in shame.
