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
Luna, hearing the conversation between Joshua and Celia from across the door, could not help but feel upset for Joshua. As a matter of fact, she was the one who truly understood Joshua the most because she was his wife.Ever since Joshua was a child, he never received any love or care from his parents. Although he always looked proud and cold-hearted, deep down in his heart, he yearned for a loving family.If he was truly disappointed with Adrian and gave up on expecting, he would not be willing to provide enough money to Adrian that was enough to support Adrian's life after a year Michael got locked in jail.He still held a thin slice of hope that Adrian would change. Nevertheless, that hope disappeared after discovering the real reason why Rianna died.At this moment, Joshua was the son who entirely gave up on his father by telling Celia that he was about to ruin Adrian."I know…" Celia's voice pulled Luna back to reality."When you told me you just came back from Saigen City,
Luna scratched her head sheepishly and opened the door to leave the bedroom. "When did you realize I was behind the door?""From the very beginning." Joshua curled up his mouth and beckoned Luna to come to him and sit next to him.Luna paused for a moment before she walked over to him and sat beside him obediently.Joshua remained on the sofa, and with a smile, he pulled Luna into his arms and kissed her forehead. "You're still the same; clumsy as always. You made such a loud noise from getting up from the bed and walking to the door. Celia didn't hear it because she was old, but do you seriously think I didn't hear it?"Luna blushed. She pursed her lips and looked down. "Did I really make…that much of a noise?""Yes," Joshua laughed and cuddled her in his arms while he looked to the front. "Did you have a good sleep last night?"Luna nodded. "I'm just…"By this point, the sun hung brightly in the sky. After they flew from Saigen City, she was too tired and went straight to bed.
After lunch, Joshua sat down on the sofa and called Jude.Jude was so overjoyed to hear that Joshua had returned, he almost wanted to reach into the phone to hug him. "Where are you guys? I'll go pick you up right now! Don't worry—I promise I won't let your father know about this, and I'll try my best to lose the reporters following me too! Don't worry, my friend! Give me your address right now!"Joshua could not help curling his lips into a smile when he heard the excitement in Jude's voice. "This is precisely the reason why I didn't ask you for help and went to John instead."He and Jude had known each other for many years, whereas Joshua had only gotten to know John from Luna and Anne. Therefore, Joshua should have sought out Jude's help instead when deciding to return to Banyan City, but he chose not to, precisely because he did not feel confident letting Jude handle this."Why don't you trust me?" Jude was upset to hear this. "I'm your best friend!""It's not you that I don't
