All Chapters of SLAVE LUNA: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Bastard child, your mother won’t answer her phone. I told you your father doesn’t want to acknowledge you, and now your mother doesn’t want you either. My son wasn’t wrong, was he?""Darling, if this illegitimate child’s mother doesn’t come to pay for our son’s medical bills and compensation for his mental distress, we’ll just have her legs cut off!"Reece’s eyes turned red as he listened to the people scolding him, but no tears fell. He bit his lower lip, glancing repeatedly at the adults berating him, yet his trembling body betrayed his fear.The police and the boy’s parents kept hurling hurtful words at Reece. Even adults couldn’t withstand such harsh remarks, let alone a three-year-old child.“Enough!” William raised his voice sharply. His loud shout made everyone in the police station turn to look at him. William was usually kind and always smiling, but he was also the son of the renowned Gu family, and his cold expression was no less intimidating than Dave’s.“A bunch of adults

Now this childish question—why did it feel, upon hearing it, as if he was being accused of some heinous crime! Dave freed one hand, loosening the tie around his shirt collar, then snapped his eagle-like gaze toward William. His voice was like an ancient, blackened weapon—cold and hard. “Are you sure you want me to answer?”Reece heard this and tugged at William’s sleeve, asking in a small voice, “Uncle, am I really an illegitimate child? Can you tell me what that means?”The little girl’s eyes grew redder, glistening with mist, but she still refused to let the tears fall. “I looked it up in the dictionary. It says an illegitimate child means… means Reece isn’t his father and mother’s child.” Her voice began to choke, weak yet stubborn. “But I asked Mom once, and she said I’m not an illegitimate child!”Reece’s words were simply a child speaking the truth, but they made William’s heart ache a little. No matter how uneasy he felt, she wasn’t his child, so he shouldn’t be the one hurt—y

The blue veins on Dave’s forehead bulged twice. He then got out of the car, walked around to the driver’s side, and said in an angry tone, “Get in the car!” Reece wiped the tears from his face and quickly climbed into the vehicle. Once Dave saw that Reece was seated properly, he slammed the car door shut, walked back around to the driver’s seat, and got in. He had just started the engine when Reece asked in a small voice, “Daddy, where are we going? Aren’t we supposed to wait for Mommy?”Dave frowned. Wait for Elaine? She had been having such a good time that she’d forgotten herself, and there had been no word from her at all until now. Leaving Reece here waiting for Elaine—who knew how long they’d have to wait for her? Besides, was it even right for Reece to be waiting for her here? Dave said nothing, driving in silence all the way to Bay Toon.He got out of the car alone, his long legs striding toward the villa. By the time Reece stepped out, Dave was already out of sight. Having be

Dave lifted his lashes, his deep, unreadable eyes scanning Aunt Chen as he said, “Why? I pay you to work for me—are you refusing to make me dinner?”Aunt Chen sensed the coldness radiating from him and stammered, “No, no, it’s just that the little miss used up all the vegetables in the house tonight. If you’re willing to wait, I’ll go buy some right away!” She spoke nervously, knowing full well that Bay Toon was in the suburbs. Even a trip to the nearest supermarket would take over an hour.“Dad, even Mom said the food I made is delicious. Why won’t you eat it?”Dave was very tall, and the little boy, looking up, couldn’t see the man’s increasingly gloomy expression. Yet when Reece mentioned Elaine, a flash of anger sparked in Dave’s narrow, deep eyes. He didn’t answer the child, but instead fixed Aunt Chen with a look that made her feel she’d misunderstood something.Dave said coldly, “You want me to wait for you to buy vegetables now? Are you planning to serve me dinner or a midnigh

When a child asks a question, her face creases slightly, her dark eyes shining with innocence, doubt, and curiosity. Dave’s stomach flared with pain again; his face darkened, and a swirl of fiery irritation burned in his chest. This is infuriating! The man was seething! But why should he have to explain himself to this little girl? If she went back to tell Elaine, that woman might get the wrong idea—thinking she still held a place in his heart. Dave’s face turned pale and grim, worsened by his ulcer. His silence did nothing to create distance between him and Reece; instead, the child took it as quiet approval.“Dad, my chubby deskmate says husbands and wives fight at the head of the bed and make up at the end. Getting upset like this and hurting yourself won’t help.”At Reece’s words, Dave’s face darkened further, blending into the night outside. Him and Elaine—for three years now, their boundaries have been crystal clear. How could she use such intimate phrases? And that fat kid sayi
