Luna’s back hit the cold hard wall, and she grimaced at the impact. Joshua squeezed her neck as his eyes flashed coldly. “You’re just a servant who deliberately cares for Nellie to please me. Who do you think you are? “I’m very grateful for your actions today, but this doesn’t mean that you can comment about the matters between me and my ex-wife. In this world, no one can talk to me like this except for Nellie’s biological mother!”The man’s grip on her neck tightened, and Luna’s face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.A moment later, when she was about to faint, the man released his hand. “Remember yourself!”“Ahem, ahem...”Finally breathing fresh air, Luna collapsed on the ground weakly as she clutched her neck and coughed.“Oh, what’s the matter?” Aura’s lazy voice sounded in the corridor. Luna raised her head subconsciously.In front of her, Aura wore a red dress as her dainty feet stepped on seven-centimeter-high heels. She looked down at her on the ground proudly.
Luna just had to calm down!Luna took a deep breath and looked up at Joshua, her voice trembling slightly, “If I said I searched for the dangers that could appear in the amusement park yesterday in fear something might happen to Nellie, would you believe me?”Aura sneered, “But what about that number?” Luna gritted his teeth and resisted the gushing hatred and anger. “That number...belonged to a friend of mine. He knew I was going to the amusement park, so he could take care of me in case something happened.”She looked at Joshua and tried to make herself sound as sincere as possible.Joshua frowned slightly. “Call your friend, and I’ll ask him personally.”“He won’t come.” Luna’s lips trembled. “I won’t admit to such accusations, and my friends don’t need to explain themselves on my behalf.”She closed her eyes and said in a cold voice, “Everything I did today, whether it was premeditated, or was it just to please Mr. Lynch? I think Mr. Lynch would know better than me.“In my
Aura’s face turned pale.She just wanted to find some evidence to push all the responsibility on Luna, but she forgot that there was not only Luna’s signal in Blue Bay Villa but also Joshua’s!“That’s right,” Luna leaned against the wall as sarcasm oozed from the corner of her lips. “Although Mr. Lynch’s mobile phone signals are encrypted, if one or two of them were and it just happened that you monitored it, and the data somehow gets leaked… The ensuing loss may amount to hundreds of millions.”Aura’s face paled instantly.“Joshua, I… I won’t sell your information, ever! I was just...just too anxious. I wanted to find evidence of Luna’s plan, so...”Looking at Aura’s panicked expression, Luna’s lips raised in a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, however, Nellie’s voice drifted out from the ward. “Auntie…”As soon as her daughter called, Luna dropped everything and pushed open the door to the ward and went inside. That left only Joshua and Aura in the corridor.“
As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. “You’ve been with Nellie for a long time, and it’s time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell me a story!”Joshua took the storybook. “I can tell a good story.”Nellie was flabbergasted.“You lie! I’ve heard your stories before!” The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. “I want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead...”After her repeated requests, Joshua finally stepped out of her room, incredibly disappointed.Luna stood in the corridor, outside the door as she waited for him to leave.The man pushed open the door and looked at Luna with a face full of displeasure before he lifted his feet and left.Luna shook her head helplessly before she pushed the door in.“Mommy.” Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, “Don’t you think Daddy is being too gentle today? It looks like he’s terrified of losing us, too.”“The one he’s afraid of losing is you.”
“Why?”As he noticed the little boy’s shocked expression, Joshua’s lips twisted into a smile. “Surprised to see me?”Neil swallowed and nodded honestly. “It is indeed a surprise...”How did he find this place?“It seems that there’s no need to introduce myself.” The man took a clean glass and poured himself a glass of beer gracefully. “Since you saved my daughter, why are you avoiding me?”“No, I didn’t avoid you.” Neil turned away guiltily and dared not look at him.Although he repeatedly scolded him for being a scumbag, Neil still felt uncomfortable and uneasy when he suddenly appeared next to him.Joshua chuckled. “You really didn’t avoid me?”Neil coughed slightly. “I do good deeds without leaving a name.”“Not only do you leave no name, but also leave no trace?”His men had scoured through the whole amusement park and checked everyone that entered and exited the park, but they could not find him.Neil took a sip of orange juice and said not a word. Joshua did not fixa
Neil rolled his eyes and guessed that Joshua asked him this question because of Nellie.Did this scumbag want to make it up to Nellie?The little guy frowned and thought of what Nellie had said to him.“Neil, if you return to Daddy, what do you want Daddy to do for you? I hope that Daddy will be like Mommy and cook me delicious food. Like Mommy comb my hair, pick out my clothes, and also tell me a bedtime story like Mommy!”…Neil hesitated for a while and removed the girly ‘hair-combing’ as he answered, “I hope my father can cook for me, pick out my clothes for me, and tell me bedtime stories.”Joshua raised his eyebrows. “Do you still need someone to tell you a bedtime story?”This little boy was mature enough to tell other children a bedtime story.“Of course I want to listen to bedtime stories!” Neil was upset. “I’m still a child! You can’t ignore the fact that I’m only six years old just because I’m smart, resourceful, cute, and handsome!”Joshua had no comment on that.
Clap!A tall figure appeared at the door.As soon as Joshua opened the door, he saw the woman sitting on the ladder.She was sitting on a ladder with a photo album on her lap, looking at the contents of the photo album.She was wearing a pale-yellow nightdress, and her long curly hair languidly spread out, hanging at her waist, making her look even more slender and petite.Under the dim light, her freely hanging legs looked sexy and charming, but on her small, fair feet, she was wearing the same cartoon plush slippers as Nellie.The man’s roaming eyes paused.This woman, she was still awake in the middle of the night, striking such a pose in his study, was she trying to seduce him?She almost died during the day, and yet now that night had fallen, she still harbored such intentions!Thinking of this, his expression turned cold. He walked over and asked, “What are you doing?”Her position on the ladder was shaky and unstable, and she was looking at the photo album in a trance.
Nellie blinked, then realized she had misspoken.She didn’t dare to face her father, turning her face to the side, “Mommy, right now, she’s…”Before she could finish her sentence, she spotted Luna who was standing at the entrance to the study.The little girl’s voice cut off in her throat.Joshua turned and glanced at the woman standing in the entrance, his displeasure apparent in his voice, “You have something to say?”“Yes.”Luna’s face remained expressionless. “The servants downstairs said breakfast is ready and asked when Nellie would go down and eat.”“You can eat first if you’re hungry.”He glanced at her, irritated, “Once Nellie and I are done, we’ll go downstairs by ourselves.”“Alright.”She smiled and nodded, then turned and left without a hint of hesitation.After Luna left, Joshua shut the door to the study, turned and continued questioning Nellie. “You were saying, what does your Mommy look like now?”Nellie paused, raised her head and looked at him, “Mommy…she
