Joshua’s hands that were holding his fork and spoon paused slightly. Finally, he laughed lightly,
“Because you’re a divorcee and your ex-husband is a jerk, that’s why you secretly kidnapped Neil and
Nellie and raised them as your own?“
Luna raised her glass and harshly gulped down a mouthful of warm water, then shifted her eyes to
Joshua. “You can say that.“
Joshua raised his glass as well. “Why didn’t you have any children when you were with your ex-
husband?“
“He doesn’t deserve to have children.“ Placing her glass down, Luna lifted her cutlery and continued
eating. “He had an affair when I needed him the most, and even wanted to kill me to please his side
piece. What do you think, does he deserve to have children?“
If she was not already pregnant back then, she really did not want to have his children.

He twisted his brows and turned to face away from her. “Then? You let him off the hook just like that?“
Luna curled her lips up in a cold smirk. “I don’t plan to let him off the hook. But he’s too powerful, I don’t
have the means to exact revenge yet.“
Joshua nodded faintly. “If you need any help, you can come to me anytime.“
Looking at him like this, Luna smiled in a taunting sneer, “Sure.“
Both of them nursed their own thoughts and worries as they ate.
When they returned to the hotel, Luna immediately spotted Alice who was waiting at the entrance to the

looking especially lonely and pitiful.
When they drew closer, Luna realized she seemed to have cried, her eyes red and puffy.

Lucas threw her an odd glance in rebuke. “You smoke?“
“No.“ Luna heaved out a long sigh, “But I sort of feel like smoking.“
The next day, Luna was awakened by Lucas’s shouts.
Because of the incident with Gwen, the few meetings in Banyan City that Joshua had scheduled for
yesterday afternoon were all delayed.
That was why they had to return to Banyan City as early as possible today. They still had an extensive
number of issues to take care of.
Sitting in the passenger seat on the drive back to Banyan City, Luna gazed deeply at the cityscape.
This had been her home for zo years. After she left today, she did not know when was the next time
she would return.
