Hearing what Nellie said, Luna restrained herself from laughing while looking at Joshua, who also
sported a small smile.
He walked forward and squatted to hoist Nellie into his arms before striding into the house. When they
were at the door, he turned to look back at Luna. “Come, let‘s go try Neil‘s cooking.
Luna smiled and started to walk. “What about Nigel‘s cooking?”
“Lucas can have all of it.” He turned around and entered the house with Nellie in his arms.
The corner of Luna‘s lips curled up as she looked at the back of Joshua and Nellie. Then, she quickly
chased after them.
When they walked into the house, Lucas just got out of the washroom while rubbing his stomach.
At that moment, Nellie felt rather guilty as she stared at his pale face. After all, she had started to get
closer to him after spending time with him for more than a year.
Thus, Nellie winked and looked at Joshua, then at Luna. “Daddy, Mommy, why don‘t I…eat Nigel‘s
cooking on behalf of Uncle Lucas?” she asked sweetly.
She knew her parents would never allow her to eat Nigel‘s terrible cooking, so this method would
definitely work to help Lucas escape the fate of eating Nigel‘s cooking.
Surprisingly, Joshua turned down Nellie‘s request today. He raised his hand and pinched Nellie‘s nose.
“I know you want to be a good girl and help Uncle Lucas. But…”
He raised his head and looked at Lucas, who was walking out of the washroom while holding the wall,
coldly. “Uncle Lucas must finish all of Nigel‘s cooking today. This is his punishment.” Lucas had trouble
breathing because of Joshua‘s stern and strong pressure. He remembered… The last time Joshua
used the same look at him was when Joshua knew he used his authority to allow the doctor to come to
the house. As he remembered, he could not help and felt guilty.
Today…not only did he secretly contact Adrian, but he even went to talk over coffee with Thomas.
Could Joshua have found out about this?
“What mistake did Uncle Lucas make that you need to punish him?” Nellie did not understand what
Joshua said. She tilted her head and frowned while looking at Lucas, then at Joshua.
“He knew what mistake he made.” Joshua glanced at Lucas unforgivingly. “If you finish Nigel‘s cooking,
I can look past your transgression. Otherwise…”
He squinted and did not finish his sentence.
