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
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
