There was a hint of a smile in Christian’s voice as he said, “We’ve met before. I’m Joshua’s nephew.“
Shannon sneaked a look at the man next to her, who at this moment had an expression as cold as ice. “Um,
where’s Luna?“
“She’s in the shower,“ Christian replied impassively, “if you have anything to tell her, you can just say it to me.“
The atmosphere in the office seemed to drop a few degrees colder.
“Of course you can.“ Christian furrowed his brows. “ By all means, bring an extra guest if you’d like. I ‘ll let her know
when she comes out of the shower.“
Shannon nodded. “Alright, then…thank you! “
With that, she quickly hung up, afraid that Joshua would toss the phone out the window in anger.
“President Lynch…“
The atmosphere in the office was so cold that Shannon felt she would freeze over at any moment. She stood up

With that, she slipped out of the room without even waiting for Joshua’s response.
Joshua sat on his chair, his gaze fixated on his office door.
Christian…
Blue Bay Villa.
When Luna came out of the shower, Christian was already in the kitchen, preparing the food.
Nigel and Nellie wanted to help, too, but were chased out of the kitchen by Christian. “Don’t come in and cause me
trouble since you don’t know anything.
Children shouldn’t be in dangerous places like this. Go off and play on your own! “
Nellie was so frustrated at Christian’s attitude that she snapped, her hands on her waist. “Just because you know
how to cook a little, that doesn’t make you better than us! You’re already nineteen! Neil is only six, but he’s already
a great cook! If he were here today, you wouldn’t be behaving like this at all! “
Christian furrowed his brows, not knowing how to explain everything to Nellie.
Finally, he let out an exhale and gently stroked Nellie’s hair. “Alright, alright. It’s such a jolly occasion today, so
please don’t bring up bad news like this.“
Nellie frowned upon hearing this. “What do you mean, bad news? Is bringing Neil up bad news? I’ve told you; Neil
isn’t dead at all! Everyone just thinks he is! “
Luna, who at this moment was standing on the stairs, watched the determined look on Nellie’s face as she
defended her brother’s death and could not
help but feel comforted.
She used to think that Neil was dead as well, but now Every time she saw how sure Nigel and Nellie were that Neil
was still alive, Luna could not help but feel a surge of warmth spread through her body.
After tonight’s party, she would tell them the truth about Neil, and all of them would work together to track Neil
down and restore his memory!
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmChristian knew it was no use arguing with Nellie, so he lifted his head to shoot Luna a helpless look. “ Please
discipline your daughter…“
Luna curled her lips into a smile. “She didn’t do anything wrong.“
With that, she strode into the kitchen and put on her apron while instructing Lily to take Nigel and Nellie into the
yard to play.
Christian helped her as she prepared the rest of the supplies. “Oh, by the way, Shannon called just now and said
she wanted to bring a friend to our party tonight. I told her it was fine.“
Luna murmured in approval. She did not invite many people tonight, so it was no harm having an extra person
there.
Although…
She furrowed her brows and asked, “Did Shannon say anything about her friend? Is it her boyfriend? “
Christian mulled over this for a moment before replying, “I guess so.“
Luna nodded. ”Alright, then let’s prepare a couple’s seat and a couple’s meal for the two of them.”
