Under the moonlight, Nellie slept soundly in her princess bed.
Neil stood at her bedside, gripping his knife tightly as he studied her face.
In the distance, Nigel lay in bed. He also had a small crossbow held tightly in his hands.
Unlike Nellie, Nigel was not willing to naively believe that Neil was still Neil. Despite having lost his memories, Neil
was a stranger until he would regain them. One can never be too defensive of strangers.
After a while, Neil let out a sigh and kept his knife. He reached his small hand out and gently traced Nellie’s face.
Although he hated the Lynch family, he could not find it in his heart to hate this naive and affectionate little girl, nor
could he be cruel to her.
After a long while, Neil took a deep breath, walked out of Nellie’s tent, and threw the knife into the bin.

Nigel, in the bottom bunk, hesitated for a while before he put down the little crossbow in his hands.
Perhaps Nellie was right this time. Neil was still Neil. He would never change.
Coming out of the engagement ceremony venue, Luna immediately noticed Bonnie and Anne waiting outside.
Bonnie laid down on the bench while Anne sat on the boulder next to her. When they saw Luna coming out, both of
them waved together.
“Should we go drinking?“
Looking at her two best friends, Luna’s despondency because of Joshua instantly vanished.
She smiled and looked at them. “You know how terrible my alcohol tolerance is. How dare you still take me
drinking?“
Anne smiled. “We’re not asking you to drink.“
“Yes.“ Bonnie shrugged. “We’ll be drinking for you to see! All you need to do is just come with us and watch us! “
These two amused Luna, but it was just nice. She did not want to go back home at that moment, seeing how
irritated she was. Tagging along with them to go drinking seemed like a good idea, too.
Luna guessed that Bonnie would have brought them to a bar, but she did not expect that Bonnie had cleared out
one of her own bars.
Only the three of them were in the bar; there was not even a bouncer there.
Anne went to the wine cabinet and took some wine, sighing helplessly as she did. “Bonnie, the evil capitalist! How
extravagant! “
Bonnie rolled her eyes and snatched a bottle of wine from Anne. “You don’t have to drink if you don’t want to! “
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna looked at them bickering, she could not help but smile. She knew that both of them rarely joked around like
that. She understood that Bonnie and Anne were just trying to make her happy.
They did not even ask her why she agreed to get engaged with Michael during the ceremony. They just thought that
she might be in a bad mood, so they brought her drinking, and even tried to cheer her up.
Compared to Joshua, who would only reprimand her for not trusting him…
Luna chuckled bitterly. She picked up the glass of red wine and instantly downed it.
She was drunk just by one glass of wine. She started to talk nonsense and went hysterical, hugging Anne while
crying non-stop.
Bonnie and Anne looked at each other. They could not help but sigh. They would be lying if they said they were not
heartbroken for her.
Although Luna’s engagement and marriage to Joshua were fake, they could see the obvious happiness in Luna’s
eyes.
