“Yes.” Lucas nodded.“You have been with Ms. Gibson for so many years, yet you have never bought clothes for her once. But, today, you especially picked two sets of clothes to give to Luna.“Last time, no servants in the house would dare to defy you. Those that did would have been fired. However, Luna had contradicted you so many times, yet you are not mad at her. Neither did you fire her. Also…”“Enough.” Joshua coldly pursed his lips. He interrupted Lucas. “I will pay attention to the distance between her and me in the future.”Then, Joshua closed his eyes and lazily leaned back. “Lucas. This is the first mistake you’ve made after working for me for so many years. I’ll forgive you for now, but it won’t happen again.”Lucas was delighted. “Are you going to pursue this matter?”He meant Aura. Joshua smiled coldly. “I have my plans.”The report of the Ferris Wheel incident was not out yet. He could not determine if the incident had to do with Aura or not, but the incident that
However, there was nothing much Nigel could apologize for regarding this matter.After all, he was only trying to help her speed up the process of splitting Joshua and Aura up.Only that, none of them expected that Joshua’s partiality to Aura was to an extreme extent.At that thought, Luna let out a long sigh. She replied to Nigel, [I don’t blame you. Take good care of yourself].Actually, this was the first time Nigel had sent her a message ever since Luna returned to the country.The last time, on the Ferris Wheel, Nigel did contact Luna via Nellie’s necklace, but that was due to an emergency.Nigel was against her decision to return to the country. Because of that, Nigel even gave her the cold shoulder.“Mommy, please don’t go back? We’ll find a better way. We don’t need that man.“I don’t want you to return to him. I don’t want you to bear him another child.“If that’s the case, I would rather die than let you suffer. Don’t have anything to do with that man, please…“I wo
Luna ignored him.The person she did not want to see most at that moment was Joshua.She went past the sofa and headed to the kitchen to pour herself a glass of water.“Get me a glass too,” Joshua’s low and aloof voice came from the living room.Luna rolled her eyes and swore at him in her heart, but she still respectfully poured him a glass of water and placed it on the coffee table.She did not forget that she was a maid at that moment. He was the master of the house.The maid poured a glass of water for her master. It was the most ordinary thing in the world.“Why were you crying?”The moment she put the glass of water on the coffee table, Joshua gracefully stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray.His deep eyes were locked onto her face like he was trying to read her mind.Luna sniffled, put the glass down, and stood up straight. “Nothing. I just wanted to cry.”She gave Joshua a respectful glance. “Mr. Lynch, if there is nothing else, I’m heading upstairs.”Then, she t
The drunk Joshua openly talked about how they met in front of Luna. His heartfelt words were all words of hypocrisy in Luna’s ears. He never knew that the first time they met was not under the cherry blossom tree. It was when he met with an accident.Many years back, Joshua met with a serious accident. When the car crashed into him, he was abandoned by the side of the road. It was Luna that rescued him and sent him to the hospital. She took care of him for a whole month while he was in a coma.She liked him, but she did not dare to fall for him. She knew that she was too ordinary. She was not worthy of a man like him, so when he gained consciousness, she left him determinedly.She initially thought that she would forget him, but did not expect that they would meet again later on.The moment they reunited, she truly believed that he was part of her life, so she started pursuing him like crazy. She loved him to bits and finally married him.On the wedding day, he told her plainly
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
