Luna's social media was full of Thomas' photos posted by Anne. Her captions clearly showed how excited she was.[This is what a perfect man should look like!][That face?! That's God's masterpiece, I swear!][What did he do to make God give him such perfect features?]…John liked every single photo that Anne posted and commented with the same sarcastic comment, [Dr. Anne, I want to look like him too.]Luna cackled when she saw this. While she was enjoying the interaction between the couple, she clicked on Thomas' photo to enlarge it. She had to admit it; Thomas was a nice-looking man.Although his face did not hold a candle to Joshua and Jim, he was a lot better than other men. Most of the photos Anne posted were taken during events or programs. Luna slowly looked through all of the photos.The latest photo was taken in an airport, and Luna recognized the interior design of the airport. It was the airport in Merchant City.Luna furrowed her eyebrows slightly. 'So this superst
Nellie raising her head made an endearing sight.Luna smiled and went to peck Nellie's cheek. "You're right. He's very suitable."Previously, all Luna thought of was how Anne worshiped and admired him. After hearing Nellie's suggestion, however, Luna realized the possibility, too.With the angular and sleek face, slender neck, and big hands with well-defined joints…he was a good fit to be a jewelry ambassador. Many companies targeted the women's market, and the latest marketing trend was to hire a male celebrity to be their ambassador.Joshua curled his lips and smiled. He looked at Nellie plainly. "You said you're just seven and not the age to marry someone yet, but should a seven-year-old consider who to hire to be the jewelry ambassador?"Nellie pouted upon hearing her father's words. She then lowered her head and took a sip of the warm milk from the glass she was holding. Then, she raised her head to look at Thomas, who was still on television."Of course! Mommy said she want
Joshua then curled his lips into a smile as he said, "By then, you can have a branch office each in Banyan City and Merchant City, so you can still work while keeping your parents, me, and the kids company."Luna felt stirred by Joshua's suggestion. She bit her lip and looked at Joshua. "You've…thought of all these already?"It was only yesterday when she thought that both Lynch Group and Landry Group could fund the jewelry company together; she had never told anyone about this idea before. Nevertheless, Joshua had the same idea as her and even started to think of the best steps necessary to make it happen.A branch office in both Banyan City and Merchant City… She would be able to live with Joshua and the kids in Banyan Cit, and when work was required, she could go to Merchant City. With that arrangement, she could take care of both her family and her parents.Luna sighed and went to hug Joshua from the back. "Thank you."Joshua smiled. "You don't have to thank me."He then pull
Luna took her phone and glanced at the caller ID, only to notice that it was Rosalyn.'Why is she calling me so early in the morning?' Luna furrowed her eyebrows and removed Joshua's hand on her to answer the call."Mom.""Luna," rang Rosalyn's affectionate voice from the other end of the call. "Have you eaten yet? Why don't you come and join us for breakfast if you haven't? Butler Fred had prepared a scrumptious breakfast earlier this morning. He said we haven't eaten together for a long time, and he even called Jim, asking him to return."I thought I'd call you, too. If you haven't had your breakfast, come join us. If you've already had breakfast, you can still come over."Rosalyn could not help but sigh after she finished her sentence. "Butler Fred is very thoughtful. Your father and I have been bothered about the issue with Jim and Bonnie lately. You know it, too."We can't keep the secret any longer. Jim will no doubt be mad at me when he finds out, so I thought that instead
Joshua had thought Luna would share Rosalyn's sentiment in thinking that it should remain within their family and keep it from him."Maybe there should be secrets between you and the Landry family, but I don't want to have any secrets between us both." Luna took a deep breath and looked at Joshua seriously. "I'm tired of suspicion and betrayal. After yesterday, I realized that there was a conflict between us, and the misunderstanding was because you weren't being truthful with me and my habit of being suspicious."I know that from your point of view, you think that you don't have to tell me a lot of things, but…"I can try to control myself from being suspicious. Similarly, it isn't right to treat people the same way you don't like people treating you. Since I don't like your dishonesty and suspicion, the least I can do is to be honest with you so you don't have to suspect anything. That, I can do."Joshua furrowed his eyebrows tightly. He was quiet for a while before finally smili
"It's not that simple." Jim smiled bitterly when Luna asked about Bonnie's condition. His angular face mellowed into faint hopelessness. "I talked for a long time last night, and I don't know if she can even hear me."Jim was looking at Luna, but it was like his sight bypassed Luna's body and gazed at another distant place. "Come to think of it, she only has four days remaining. Four days…"He smiled bitterly. "If she wakes up, I can at least say goodbye to her. If she doesn't…" After a sniff, he continued, "If she doesn't wake up, I can only apologize to her in person after I die."To be honest, I regret it all now. If we don't have Harvey, and if I didn't promise her that I'd take care of Harvey… I'd want to die with her. We could go to heaven together and maybe reincarnate together so we'd likely not lose each other in the next life. I want to know her before getting to know Number-9 in my next life. Then, there won't be any problem with Number-9 or Charlotte…"Despite bearing a
"Perhaps Bonnie may miraculously wake up after four days instead of dying."Jim sneered at Rosalyn's question. "Mother, you know I never believe in miracles; those illusory things are a distant concept to me. Moreover…"He lowered his eyes while peeking at Butler Fred, who was arranging for the maids to serve the dishes with intention. "I listened to you and asked Christopher to come back. I thought he could help me to manufacture an antidote for Bonnie, but I didn't expect…"He squinted, and there was hatred in his eyes while he looked at Butler Fred. "I didn't expect someone would use the problem with Christopher's mental state to trigger his mental illness. Now, Christopher has gone crazy and nearly killed me in the process. A person who has lost their sanity couldn't possibly manufacture the antidote."Jim closed his eyes and sighed. "If Bonnie dies, I'll never forgive those people behind all this!"At that moment, Luna spotted how Butler Fred trembled slightly. Mickey, who wa
Luna's hand that hovered over her cutleries froze the second she heard Rosalyn speak. She looked up and was dumbfounded by what Rosalyn said. Her face was so stiff that she could not force her expression to fall into normalcy.'How is that possible? From the investigation result Joshua received, the people behind it were Butler Fred and Mickey. The timing matches when Granny Lynch was poisoned, and Mickey left Landry Mansion to go back to his hometown. I refuse to believe that Mother was the one who did it.' Luna thought and she raised her head subconsciously to look at Butler Fred and Mickey.Perhaps Butler Fred never thought Luna would suddenly look at him because all this while, he stared at Rosalyn with a peculiarly pleasant gaze as though elated his plan had worked. Suddenly, he sensed that Luna was looking at him, and he quickly turned his body slightly to meet Luna's eyes.He was caught off-guard for only a moment before he offered her a flattering smile, one that made Luna f
