Lunaâs back hit the cold hard wall, and she grimaced at the impact. Joshua squeezed her neck as his eyes flashed coldly. âYouâre just a servant who deliberately cares for Nellie to please me. Who do you think you are? âIâm very grateful for your actions today, but this doesnât 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 Nellieâs biological mother!âThe manâs grip on her neck tightened, and Lunaâs face turned purple from the lack of oxygen.A moment later, when she was about to faint, the man released his hand. âRemember yourself!ââAhem, ahem...âFinally breathing fresh air, Luna collapsed on the ground weakly as she clutched her neck and coughed.âOh, whatâs the matter?â Auraâs 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, âIf 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?âAura sneered, âBut what about that number?â Luna gritted his teeth and resisted the gushing hatred and anger. âThat 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.âShe looked at Joshua and tried to make herself sound as sincere as possible.Joshua frowned slightly. âCall your friend, and Iâll ask him personally.ââHe wonât come.â Lunaâs lips trembled. âI wonât admit to such accusations, and my friends donât need to explain themselves on my behalf.âShe closed her eyes and said in a cold voice, âEverything I did today, whether it was premeditated, or was it just to please Mr. Lynch? I think Mr. Lynch would know better than me.âIn my
Auraâs 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 Lunaâs signal in Blue Bay Villa but also Joshuaâs!âThatâs right,â Luna leaned against the wall as sarcasm oozed from the corner of her lips. âAlthough Mr. Lynchâs 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.âAuraâs face paled instantly.âJoshua, I⌠I wonât sell your information, ever! I was just...just too anxious. I wanted to find evidence of Lunaâs plan, so...âLooking at Auraâs panicked expression, Lunaâs lips raised in a sneer. Just as she was about to say something, however, Nellieâs voice drifted out from the ward. âAuntieâŚâAs 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.â
As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. âYouâve been with Nellie for a long time, and itâs time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell me a story!âJoshua took the storybook. âI can tell a good story.âNellie was flabbergasted.âYou lie! Iâve heard your stories before!â The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. âI want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead...âAfter 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.âMommy.â Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, âDonât you think Daddy is being too gentle today? It looks like heâs terrified of losing us, too.ââThe one heâs afraid of losing is you.â
âWhy?âAs he noticed the little boyâs shocked expression, Joshuaâs lips twisted into a smile. âSurprised to see me?âNeil swallowed and nodded honestly. âIt is indeed a surprise...âHow did he find this place?âIt seems that thereâs no need to introduce myself.â The man took a clean glass and poured himself a glass of beer gracefully. âSince you saved my daughter, why are you avoiding me?ââNo, I didnât avoid you.â 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. âYou really didnât avoid me?âNeil coughed slightly. âI do good deeds without leaving a name.ââNot only do you leave no name, but also leave no trace?âHis 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.âNeil, 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!ââŚNeil hesitated for a while and removed the girly âhair-combingâ as he answered, âI hope my father can cook for me, pick out my clothes for me, and tell me bedtime stories.âJoshua raised his eyebrows. âDo you still need someone to tell you a bedtime story?âThis little boy was mature enough to tell other children a bedtime story.âOf course I want to listen to bedtime stories!â Neil was upset. âIâm still a child! You canât ignore the fact that Iâm only six years old just because Iâm smart, resourceful, cute, and handsome!âJoshua 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 manâs 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, âWhat are you doing?âHer 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 didnât dare to face her father, turning her face to the side, âMommy, right now, sheâsâŚâBefore she could finish her sentence, she spotted Luna who was standing at the entrance to the study.The little girlâs voice cut off in her throat.Joshua turned and glanced at the woman standing in the entrance, his displeasure apparent in his voice, âYou have something to say?ââYes.âLunaâs face remained expressionless. âThe servants downstairs said breakfast is ready and asked when Nellie would go down and eat.ââYou can eat first if youâre hungry.âHe glanced at her, irritated, âOnce Nellie and I are done, weâll go downstairs by ourselves.ââAlright.âShe 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. âYou were saying, what does your Mommy look like now?âNellie paused, raised her head and looked at him, âMommyâŚshe
