“Ma’am, let’s head inside and talk.“ Neil noticed how ugly Luna’s expression turned into, thus he
approached Natasha and smilingly tugged at her sleeves. “There are a lot of people in our small
community, and neighbors will talk. It’ll be better to talk inside! “
Natasha furrowed her brows and wanted to refuse Neil until she had a good look at his face.
That face…
She inexplicably thought of when Luna Gibson was young. This boy’s aura, smell, and those huge
starlit eyes were the same as Luna Gibson’s when she was young.
All thoughts flew out the window when Natasha looked at him.
After a while, Natasha sighed and let Neil lead her in.
The house’s exterior was no different than the others. What Natasha did not expect was that the
interior, decorated simply and cleanly, had charred walls and ceilings with burnt marks.
Even if it was repainted, it could not fully cover the burnt marks.

“Ms. Aura sent someone to burn them down.“ Neil led Natasha to the sofa before he sat opposite her.
“My Mommy and Nellie were still here the day the house was set ablaze. If they weren’t rescued in
time, they would’ve died.“
Neil’s eyes were huge and sparkling, utterly endearing, but his words stirred Natasha.
“Impossible. Aura is Nellie’s auntie, and she wouldn’t do such things. Someone must’ve tricked you! “
She looked at the black spots in the room once again and confirmed her beliefs. “Impossible.“
“Tea.“ Luna served freshly made tea from the kitchen. “Today is my first day at the Lynch Group. I don’t
have much contact with Joshua yet.“
Luna took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. “So, I won’t be able to find out so quickly
about Aura.“
She put the teacup in front of Natasha. “Aunty Natasha, have some tea.“
She made Natasha’s favorite earl grey tea, but Natasha barely paid any attention to it as she remained
seated on the sofa with a deep frown. “ When will you be able to get news of Aura? You’re also a
mother; you should know how it feels when your kid is missing. When I think of Aura, I can’t sleep or
eat.“
Luna’s smile was plastered on her face.
As she gazed at the steaming earl grey tea, she could not hold back her question. “Back then…when
Luna Gibson went missing, were you like that, too?“
Luna looked at Natasha closely, trying to find hints of reminiscence on Natasha’s face. However,
Natasha shook her head.
“Yes, Luna Gibson is also my daughter, but…in my heart, she could never compare to Aura. Aura is
kind and gentle. She has secretly done so much for Luna, yet Luna never thanked her once.
“Also…“ Natasha sighed. “Aura was the first one who met Joshua Lynch, truth be told. Aura was kind

Luna stood in the same spot, her entire body tense. “Did…Aura told you all that?“ She could not
believe it. Her own mother, whom she respected so much,
would say such things about her.
“Not all of it. I saw it with my own eyes, too.“
Then, Natasha sighed. “Although Luna is also my daughter, she’s so…different.“
Luna heard her heart slowly cracking into pieces.
She took a deep breath and suppressed her emotions. “I understand. I don’t have any news about Aura
at the moment. Once I do, I ’11 notify you at once. Neil, please send Aunty Natasha off.“
Neil looked at Luna’s terribly pale face, and his heart broke.
He jumped down from the sofa and quickly ran to the door to open it. “Aunty Natasha, please leave.“
Natasha furrowed her brows as she eyed the adorable-looking Neil.
Truthfully, she did not really want to leave. ”Didn’ t you just passionately invite me in? Why are you
getting rid of me now?”
