It was already 8 p.m. when the plane landed in Banyan City.Anne and John were already waiting for them with their baby.When she caught sight of Luna, Anne shoved the baby into John's arms and sprinted toward Luna. "Luna!"Luna and Joshua were walking hand-in-hand out of the terminal, and when she saw Anne running in her direction, she immediately let go of Joshua's hand to catch her in time.Anne wrapped her arms around Luna in a giant hug. "I can't believe you're home! I was planning to visit you in Merchant City in the future! Bonnie told me that you have other things to take care of and that you won't be in Merchant City for the foreseeable future. I even made her promise to tell me if you ever returned so that John and I will be able to fly over and give you a surprise! Why did you decide to come back all of a sudden?"Luna could not help smiling at the sound of Anne's excited voice. "Well, I came back because I had to."With that, she reached out to grab hold of Anne's han
Joshua nodded. "Let's go."John let out a sigh of relief, then walked over to Anne's side and took the child from her. "Let's go, everyone."Anne murmured in response and snaked her arm around Luna's. "Let's go, then! The place that John and I have arranged for your stay is very private and exclusive; no one will be able to find you there!"Luna frowned at this and turned to shoot Anne a dubious glance. "You arranged our accommodation?"This was Banyan City—Joshua's territory, and he owned an array of property in this city, so why did Anne and John go to all the trouble of finding them a place to stay?Not only that, but they even made the effort to find somewhere private and exclusive?"I was the one who requested it." Joshua smiled when he saw Luna's puzzlement. "I contacted John before we left Saigen City because of this."Luna's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "Why?""Because I don't want anyone to know I returned." Joshua put on his face mask as he followed John out of the
Luna felt weird about what Anne said. "Shelly's real identity?"'Why didn't I hear Bonnie saying anything about it?' she thought.While she was accompanying Gwen in Saigen City, she never ceased keeping in touch with people back in Merchant City. Rosalyn and Charles were helping her to take care of her three kids. Bonnie and Jim always contacted her too.She was even on a video call with Bonnie this morning discussing the lawsuit. However, she never heard Bonnie talking about anything related to Shelly's real identity."Yea…" Anne pursed her lip and looked at Joshua and then at Luna. "You guys…don't know?"Shelly was the daughter Luna and Joshua lost; Bonnie was the one who told her about this. How was it possible that Bonnie did not tell Luna and Joshua?"I know," replied Joshua indifferently with a frown before Luna could reply. "I was going to bring Luna back to Merchant City after settling the issues in Saigen City, but something came up, so I had to take her here."He glanc
Perhaps Joshua had expected this sort of thing would happen, so much so that he did not look surprised when John told him that. All he did was frown and looked outside the window at the scenery."You're right. That's why I came back to settle this now," he said.John was confused. "Are you going to help Adrian settle his debt?"Joshua raised the corner of his lips and said coldly, "He should be responsible for his debt since he was the one borrowing money. I'm his son, but I'm not obliged to help him pay his debt."He switched his sitting position to a more comfortable position on the passenger seat. His eyes looked cold. "Of course, I'm looking forward to seeing how he'll react when he's cornered by his debtors."Adrian met Rianna when he was cornered, too. He was a bad businessman, but Rianna was a genius in doing business. With Rianna's help, Lynch Group prospered and took off.At that time, Rianna would never guess her life would end in the hands of the same man she trusted t
Not long later, their car arrived at the accommodation where John arranged for Luna and Joshua. It was a place situated in the city center with two bedrooms. Even though the space was small, the design of the place was extremely comfortable, sort of resembling the life when Luna was living overseas with her three kids."Anne was the one who picked this place," John explained proudly after seeing the shock in Luna's eyes. "She said that during the past five years you've lived outside, you stayed in this sort of place. Now that you're back together with Mr. Lynch, you won't get to live in such a small place. It's good to let you recollect that moment during this short stay."He looked at Anne pleasingly after saying that. "Anne is always so thoughtful and caring."Anne blushed upon hearing John's words. While she carried Sammie in one hand, she used her other elbow to nudge him. "It's nothing much, really. You don't have to emphasize it.""No, John is right. You're very thoughtful an
Joshua curled up his lips and smiled when Luna mentioned their lost daughter. "Our daughter will be by our side when she turns one."Luna furrowed her brow and looked at Joshua. "Why are you so certain? Did you find any information about her?""Yes." Joshua nodded without any hesitation yet did not divulge the whole truth to her. "We're double-checking it. The result will be out in a couple of days."In truth, the paternity results regarding him, Luna, and Shelly were already out. Shelly was indeed their biological daughter, and his heart raced in excitement when he got hold of the result. Never had he imagined Jim was the one who took away their daughter after Hunter kidnapped her.During then, Luna was on bad terms with Jim, and it seemed like Luna was never going to forgive him. In that situation, Jim would never tell Luna or him that he had taken Shelly.Who would have thought Jim would lose his memory not long after? As a result, they did not get any bits of help from Jim whe
The photo showed a face that both Luna and Joshua were familiar with. It shocked Luna that she looked at Joshua with surprise. "She… She's Jacqueline?""From the information I've received, she is." Looking at the photo, Joshua squinted. "How can she look so alike to her?"Luna was stunned as her eyes remained on the photo. 'This woman… She looks so much like Fiona!'Back in the past, Fiona basically wanted Joshua to make her his fake girlfriend, in exchange that she would donate her bone marrow to Nigel. All that, and she persistently caused trouble between her and Joshua. Although she eventually fell to her death down the cliff, Luna remembered this face after all the harm she caused to Luna.'Adrian's wife looks dangerously like her. Is it a coincidence, or…' Joshua thought after glancing over Jacqueline's information.From the information, Jacqueline was five years older than Fiona, but she was from the same city as Fiona.Most importantly…Joshua saw her parents' names in th
Joshua burst into laughter at what Luna said. He extended his hand out to rub Luna's head as he spoke, his voice sounding helpless, "Well, anyone can tell she doesn't have true feelings for Adrian. Do you think a woman in her twenties will marry a man in his late fifties?"Luna pursed her lips and corrected him, "It's not entirely impossible. Age isn't a problem with true love.""But isn't it too fast to develop a true love that can overcome age problems in just a month?""That's true…" Luna took the phone from Joshua's hand to open up Jacqueline's information and went through it all. "Do you think…she's related to Fiona?""I don't know." Joshua snatched it back with a smile. "We'll know tomorrow night."'If Jacqueline is using Adrian to get close to me to take revenge for Fiona… Her reaction will prove everything once I show up at the wedding tomorrow. Nonetheless, my plan to destroy Adrian and his reputation during the wedding won't change—no matter what Jacqueline tries to put
