    Joshua’s hand that held his chopsticks paused slightly.

    He raised his head, and those ck eyes looked at Luna’s face indifferently. “If I asked her to move in,


    then those women who set their sights on me wouldn’t have a chance anymore, would they?”


    The man’s words made Luna squint slightly, but after a while, she smiled. “I always thought that the


    rtionship between Mr. Lynch and Ms. Gibson was strong enough. It seems that I’ve been thinking


    too much.”


    Joshua curled his lips faintly. “Even so, some people who approach me with a purpose from the get-go


    stand no chance.”


    “Then Mr. Lynch is a very dedicated and affectionate man,” retorted Luna. “It seems that I


    misunderstood you.”


    Noticing that the atmosphere on the dining table grew more intense by the moment, Nellie quickly


    stretched out her little hand and ced it between their eyes as a barrier. “Stop arguing!”


    “We’re not.”


    Her daughter’s anxious voice made Lunae back to her senses.


    She quickly calmed herself down and gave Joshua a faint smile. “Mr. Lynch, don’t get me wrong. I just


    think that the futuredy of the family is hostile to me, so it’s not appropriate for me to live here all the


    time.”


    Joshua’s ck eyebrows furrowed tightly. “This is my home, and whether you live here or not will only


    be decided in my hands. Also, you’re just a servant. Don’t worry too much about your boss. Aura isn’t


    the master of this house.”


    As he spoke, he lowered his head and gently speared some vegetables onto his fork for Nellie. “This


    vi has always had its mistress.”


    Luna sneered quietly.


    The person Joshua referred to the hostess of this vi was not her, was it?


    It was hrious to her.


    He never showed her warmth when she was with him, and he even killed her for Aura, yet he


    pretended to be loyal and loving all of a sudden.


    He was just putting on a show for Nellie, was he not?


    Had he realized how shameless the things that he did back then were?


    Thinking of this, Luna smiled faintly. “But isn’t the formerdy of this house dead?”


    “She’s not dead!” Joshua frowned and pped his spoon on the table fiercely. “My wife is still alive.”


    The man’s gaze was fierce and sharp. “Beware of your words; they may cause you imminent danger!”


    Luna met his gaze fearlessly. “But I read on the news that your ex-wife is dead. If you say she’s still


    alive, where is she now?”


    The man red at her, and his bottomless eyes seemed to burn with anger.


    The two people looked at each other, and the atmosphere at the table grew so cold that one could


    barely breathe in their vicinity.


    “Enough!”


    Nellie put down her fork and spoon, her little eyes red as a hint of a sob was detected in her delicate


    voice, “This is the first time we have dinner together. Do we have to fight?”


    With that, the little girl turned around and ran upstairs.


    Joshua frowned and got up to run after her, but not before throwing Luna a cold re.


    Luna sat on the chair and watched him run after Nellie’s retreating back, silently closing her eyes.


    She should not have quarreled with Joshua in front of Nellie, but she had endured too much pain and


    torture in the past six years.


    Every night when shey awake in bed struggling to fall asleep, she wanted to fly back to Banyan City,


    find Joshua, cut his heart open, and see if it was pitch-ck inside.


    Upstairs…


    “Nellie.” Joshua opened the door to the children’s room and walked carefully to the little girl’s side.


    She covered herself with a quilt. Her thin bodyid on the bed, curled up in a small ball, and his heart


    melted at the sight. The man gently sat down on her bedside, raised his hand, and gently stroked her


    back that shook from her sobs. “Don’t cry.”


    He did not know how to coax such a young girl, so he could only stroke herfortingly, trying to make


    his voice soft and gentle.


    After a long time, Nellie’s back finally stopped trembling.


    She crawled off of the quilt and looked at him with red eyes. “Daddy, don’t me Auntie.”


    Joshua paused.


    After she stopped crying, he thought the first thing she would do was to whine andin to him, but


    it turned out that the first thing this little girl did after sessfully holding back her tears was to plead


    for Luna?


    The man’s heart instantly melted into a warm mess.


    He picked her up. “Do you like her that much?”


    “Yeah.” Nellie sniffed as her little head rested on the man’s shoulder. “I like her very much, so don’t


    me her for this, okay, Daddy?”


    Joshua pursed his lips. He was a little reluctant, but since his baby girl said so, he could not really kick


    Luna out.


    The man sighed and nodded gently.


    A momentter, he raised his hand and stroked her back. “Why did you cry just now? Do you miss your


    mother?”


    Nellie pursed her lips and nodded silently.


    “Then, do you know where your mother is?” he lowered his voice, attempting to induce her. “Why not


    let me take you to her?”


    “No.” Nellie shook her little head like a rattle. “Mommy said that when the time is right for her to meet


    you, then you’ll meet. She asked you not to try finding her, Daddy. Just be nice to me.”


    Joshua looked at the little girl’s face, her features almost a copy of her mother’s, and pressed his thin


    lips tightly.


    “Daddy.” Nellieid in his arms and sniffed, “I just heard from Auntie that you’re going to marry the evil


    Nellie, the little brat, just came back two days ago. Why was this photo hanging magnificently in the


    center of Blue Bay Vi?


    The furious Aura walked over angrily, took the photo down, and threw it on the ground with a


    resounding m.


    What a b*tch!


    All of them—b*tches!


    Luna Gibson was a b*tch, and even her evil little brat followed in her footsteps!
