Luna did not sleep well that night. She kept dreaming about all the things that she went through with Joshua. The flutter of her heart during her first encounter with him, the happiness she felt when they had their wedding photos taken, the rush of their wedding…She kept asking Joshua why in her dreams.Why? Why should her love be completely wiped out like this?When she woke up, her pillow was wet with tears. Turns out, the pain one suffered in love was not that easy to let go of even after so many years.“Mommy.” Nellie was standing by her bed with a tissue in her hand. She carefully wiped away Luna’s tears. “Did Daddy make you angry again?”Luna shut her eyes and hugged Nellie in her arms. Feeling the warmth of Nellie’s body, she suddenly felt energized once again. For the past six years, her three children were her motivation to continue living. No matter what, she would not abandon them.“Mommy, stop crying.”Nellie gently patted Luna on her back. She comforted gently,
Six years ago, when she was the mistress of the house, no one showed her the respect that she deserved.Lucas hesitated for a while, “Yes.”“That is your own theory.”Luna found a spoon and tray from the cabinet and washed them. “I have gone through enough grievances in my entire life. I do not want to feel that way anymore.”Then, she held the tray, went past Lucas, and headed upstairs.Lucas stood on the same spot. Looking at her slender figure, his eyes dimmed. If there was a choice, who would want to feel aggrieved? However, if they did not win over Aura at that moment, it would be too late when she married into the family.…Master Bedroom.When Luna entered with the soup, Joshua was leaning on the head of the bed, looking at his phone.He was still hungover from the night before. His head hurt so much that he had difficulty getting out of bed. His mind was foggy. He had trouble remembering what happened the day before.When Luna entered, Joshua furrowed his brows
This was not right! This had the same taste as what Luna Gibson made! His job needed him to socialize a lot. Back then, when they were still together, Joshua would always come home drunk. Every time that he was hungover, Luna Gibson would make him this soup to sober him up.She liked to add a special spice into the soup, making it taste unique. Joshua had not tasted her soup for six years already.However, at that moment, the soup that Luna did was exactly the same as Luna Gibson’s! Joshua could not care for anything else. He immediately got down from the bed and rushed downstairs.In the kitchen downstairs, Luna was making a bowl of oats for Nellie. She was engrossed in her work, so she did not notice the flurry of steps behind her. When she noticed Joshua’s presence, he was already standing behind her.Joshua turned her over and clasped her jaw with his large hand. He looked at her dangerously with his hawk-like eyes. “Who taught you how to make the soup?”Luna was startle
Luna laughed bitterly and shook her head as she shrugged off the messy thoughts.How could Joshua be lonely? She was the lonely one all these years.She turned around and continued to make Nellie her oats.Unintentionally, she saw her reflection on the metal stove. At that moment, her facial features were intricate and unique. She was so beautiful that it was almost flawless, yet she could no longer feel any happiness.…For the next few days, Luna tried to avoid appearing in front of Joshua. One was because of the previous incident; she had no energy to pretend to be friendly with Joshua. Also, Joshua has started doubting her relationship with Luna Gibson. She had to try her best to make herself as small as possible so he would ignore her.However, everyone in Blue Bay Villa noticed Luna trying to distance herself from Joshua. Some of the older servants lectured her, “Luna, remember your place. You’re a servant, and you’re here to serve Mr. Lynch. Wipe that rude face off.”“Y
When Luna knocked on the door and entered with hot tea, Joshua was sitting and talking on the phone. Seeing her entering, Joshua swept a cold glance at her and continued reprimanding his staff, “How many years have you been on this job? Do I still need to teach you basic respect for your superiors? So what if you’re in a bad mood? Do I, as a boss, need to care for your emotions? If there’s a next time, you can prepare to resign!”Luna smiled faintly as she heard his words. Joshua might seem like he was reprimanding his staff, but he was indirectly telling them to Luna.This was the third time he asked her to send something up for him to drink. From coffee to tea, Luna knew he did not need to drink so much while working that night. The only possible reason was that she got under his skin as she ignored him and treated him indifferently.Joshua had always been high and mighty. He was a man that everyone respected and looked up to.He must have felt terrible when she suddenly ignore
“We’ve been apart for so long, so of course I miss you. I miss you so much.”“Of course I love you. What are you thinking?”“Okay, okay, stop playing around. I’ll make you your special cookies the next time I see you, okay?”“Mmh, I’ll only make them for you. No one else gets to try them.”…Joshua frowned sourly at that. Her voice rang in the air, flirtatious, and the words she used sounded intimate, too.Who was she talking to on the phone? Another man?No wonder she treated Joshua so coldly, not wanting to say a single word to him.It seemed like she had changed her target. This woman with ill intentions toward him had changed her target. He should be happy.It baffled Joshua why he was displeased, however. Not only that, but he was a little furious, too.After a long time, Luna finally hung up. She let out a long sigh of relief.The mischievous Neil had been living at Anne’s house independently, and he sometimes would even take care of Anne and make meals for her. Despit
Joshua’s scent grew closer and stronger.Back then, Luna longed for Joshua to kiss her himself, but he never initiated to kiss her during three years of marriage.Whether it be in life or in bed, she was always the one who made the first move.Previously, she just thought that he was passive. However, at that moment, she finally saw clearly.It was not that he was passive; he was only passive toward her. Just like at that moment, she had been Joshua’s maid for only half a month, yet he could kiss her just like that.At that thought, Luna’s eyes turned cold.Slap! The moment Joshua’s lips grazed hers, a crisp slap rang through the entire backyard.Joshua’s face was slapped so hard that his head swung to the side. His expression darkened as he regained his senses.He turned back and looked at Luna with fury. “How dare you slap me?”Luna retracted her hand that ached due to the slap. She glared at Joshua coldly. “Mr. Lynch, you’ve done inappropriate things. Should I not have sl
“I’m going to put Ms. Nellie back to bed.”Luna bent and took Nellie into her arms. She pushed Joshua aside and strode back into the villa.Joshua stood on the spot, brows furrowed as he looked at Luna walking away.The door of the entrance was shut.Joshua looked at the door with his deep eyes. After a while, he took his phone out and dialed Lucas. “Get the car.”On the other end of the call, Lucas sounded groggy. “Mr. Lynch, it’s late. Where do you want to go?”“To the office,” came the reply. Lucas was so stunned that he was momentarily speechless. “Didn’t you bring all your work back to the villa? Why are you returning to the office?”“I regret my decision. Why? Do you have anything to say about that?”How would Lucas dare have anything to say?Lucas immediately got up from his girlfriend’s bed and quickly drove to Blue Bay Villa. He helped carry the stack of documents in Joshua’s study into the car as he then sent Joshua to the office.Sitting in the backseat, Joshua l
