Luna’s words sounded harsh and spiteful to Jude’s ears.
He furrowed his brows and glanced at the stone- faced woman through the rearview mirror. He wanted
to say something but could not seem to find the right words for it.
She and Joshua’s relationship had become so complicated that Jude no longer knew how to help them
maintain their peace anymore.
He let out a sigh and rubbed his brows in frustration. “I know that you think both Joshua and I are liars,
but there are some things I can’t explain to you just yet. You’ll find out the truth when it’s time. I never
lied to you at all.“
The car soon arrived at Blue Bay Villa.
Luna let out an exhale and, after thanking Jude, turned and got out of the car.
As soon as she opened the door, she spotted Lily cleaning the house while trying to persuade the two
children sitting on the sofa to go to bed. “Young Master Nigel, Princess Nellie, Ms. Luna has informed
me that she’s out at a party and will be home late tonight…“
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtNigel, who was brushing his sister’s hair tenderly, replied, “If Nellie doesn’t go to sleep, then I won’t,
too. ”
Nellie silently fiddled with her fingers, her head lowered as she did.
The first thing Luna saw when she entered the house was Lily sighing in exasperation, then
disappearing into the bathroom to rinse her mop.
Luna sighed. She knew that her two children would be waiting for her; they refused to go to bed if she
was not there to tuck them in.
“Nigel, Nellie. “ Luna entered the living room. She smiled while changing into her slippers. “Why aren’t
you two asleep yet?“
The two children perked up when they heard their mother’s voice. Nigel immediately let go of Nellie
and exclaimed, “Mommy, you’re back! “
Meanwhile, Nellie immediately raced over to Luna and wrapped her arms around Luna’s leg tightly, still
refusing to say a word.
Luna sighed. She could tell Nellie was worried about her, so she reached down and pulled Nellie into
her arms.
Nigel leaped off the sofa and approached Luna. Then, he sniffed and asked, “Did you drink?“
“Yes, just one glass.“ Luna strode toward the stairs, carrying Nellie in her arms. “Don’t worry. It’s fine.
Come on, let’s go to bed now.“
Nigel sighed. “Did you forget? You always need to have a bowl of soup after drinking alcohol.
Otherwise, you’ll wake up the next day with a
headache. “ He poked his head through the railing
and glanced at Lily, who was still busy cleaning. “ Lily, please make a bowl of soup for my Mommy. “
“Okay! “ Lily nodded, put down her mop, and disappeared into the kitchen.
After making sure that Lily obeyed his request, Nigel let out another sigh and caught up with Luna.
Luna witnessed everything that Nigel did and could not help feeling a surge of warmth spread through
her heart.
However, a moment later, the warmth she felt was replaced with a twinge of despair.
Nigel was such a thoughtful child… Who would have thought his father was a man like Joshua Lynch?
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmLuna suddenly recalled the way Joshua held Fiona tenderly in his arms.
Maybe Joshua, too, had a loving and thoughtful side to him. However, he never displayed this to her,
whether she was Luna Gibson or just Luna.
Luna gently carried Nellie into their room and finally managed to put them to sleep after half an hour.
By the time she emerged from the room, Lily was already waiting outside the door, holding a bowl of
soup.
As soon as she saw her coming out of the room, Lily handed her the bowl and said, “Ms. Luna, today…
Dr. Rowena told me she had to leave, and she gave me a list of instructions to take care of Young
Master Nigel. What’s going on?
“She even informed me that her mentor will be
moving into Blue Bay Villa tomorrow and will be taking care of Young Master Nigel from now on. Why
are we changing doctors all of a sudden?”
Luna closed her eyes and recalled the way Joshua looked when he agreed to let Dr. Rowena take care
of Fiona instead of Nigel. “It doesn’t matter. ” Luna took the bowl from her and chugged its contents.
“There’s only two more weeks left until Nigel undergoes his operation.”
