“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
Zach and Yuri looked at each other, then they looked at Joshua rather embarrassingly. “Mr. Lynch, it’s almost eight at night, and our boss is just a kid. He should be in bed already.”“So, perhaps…”Joshua’s cold gaze swept across Zach’s face. “Didn’t you say he was just chatting online with you two?”The two of them looked at each other once more before they helplessly dialed Neil and told him how Joshua wanted to meet with him.“Sure.” Neil smiled coldly as he sat on the balcony in Anne’s house.Nellie called a moment ago and told him how the scumbag fought with their Mommy, yet that scumbag demanded to meet him at that moment? Oh, the ways he could avenge Mommy! At that thought, Neil hung up the phone and ran to the kitchen. He took a bottle of Sprite and a pineapple out from the fridge. He juiced the pineapple, mixed them with Sprite, and added some other special ingredients. He then poured the concoction into a cup and headed downstairs with it.Neil only waited for a wh
Joshua thought that he was going crazy.“You want to tell me a story?” Neil blinked his eyes and made a well-behaved disposition. “Tell me!”Joshua smiled bitterly. He got Lucas to stop the car by Bay Bridge where not many people would be at the bridge at night. Even cars were few.Joshua opened the door and stood by the bridge. He looked at the water below the bridge. “This was where my wife had an accident. She left me, then she had an accident.“When I rushed to the scene, other than a messy scene and broken railings, there was nothing left. I don’t know where she went; I couldn’t find her. Other people said that she died, but I never believed it for once. I feel that until I see her body, I still have hope that she’s alive.“Half a month ago, my guess was confirmed. She is indeed still alive. Not only is she alive, but she even gave birth to our daughter. She’s the one that you saved in the amusement park.”Neil pursed his lips. He stood next to Joshua and looked at the intac
“Daddy was alright during dinner.”Nellie held onto Luna’s hand as they stood in the main lobby of Central Hospital. She looked into the distance worriedly. “Why would he suddenly be unwell?”“Perhaps he ate or drank something else later on,” replied Luna flatly.She looked at the entrance of the hospital and furrowed her brows. Why would Joshua have stomach problems? From what she recalled, he always had a good digestive system. He always had to socialize a lot, but not once did his stomach cause any problems.His stomach problem became a recurring sickness in a mere six years? What was Aura doing? How did she look after him until he fell into such a state? Just as she was deep in her thoughts, a black Maserati stopped at the entrance of the hospital.“It’s Daddy!” Nellie immediately let go of Luna’s hand and ran as quickly as her short stumpy legs could take her toward the car.Seeing how worried her daughter was, a strange emotion overwhelmed Luna.She lifted her leg and st
After a while, the emergency room door opened.The doctor came out with a frown. “Give me a list of things Mr. Lynch had consumed today. I want to inspect them all.”Lucas’ brows furrowed. “What do you mean?”“He has been drugged with a powerful laxative.”Luna was speechless. Without saying anything, she knew who drugged Joshua.After all, before she came back, a little kid of hers purposely went to the doctors to say he had serious constipation.Luna sighed helplessly. This was nonsense! “Also.” The doctor looked at Lucas coldly. “You know that he has a bad digestive system. How could you let him have iced drinks at night?”Lucas was stunned. He remembered that it was Neil who gave Joshua the drink, yet it was a laxative…He took a deep breath. “Luna, please take care of Joshua. I’m going to call the butler to take note of the servants who made dinner tonight.”Upon saying that, he felt that something was off once more. Everyone had dinner together that night. Why were Nel
Luna had no laxatives on her.She lowered her head. “I didn’t bring them with me.”“Lucas,” Joshua’s tone was ice-cold as he spoke, “go back to Blue Bay Villa and bring the remaining laxatives over.”Then, he had a slightly flirtatious look. He looked at Luna with his deep, sharp eyes. “Where did you put it?”Luna bit her lip. She did not know why this man was suddenly so excited and insistent she consumed the laxatives he had consumed.She furrowed her brows. “Mr. Lynch, it’s too much of a trouble to get Lucas to go back and take them. We’re in a hospital, why don’t we get the doctor to—”“Yes!” Lucas clearly did not want to make a trip back to Blue Bay Villa, but before Luna could finish, Lucas interrupted, “Sir, why don’t I go and get the doctor now?”“I said, I want her to eat her remaining portion.” Joshua swept a cold glance at Lucas. His tone was cold enough to freeze the Arctic. “Don’t you get it?”Lucas was stunned. His expressions darkened gradually.He raised his ey
