Luna curled her lips into a smirk.
She moved closer to Fiona and taunted lowly with contempt, “What makes you think he’ll protect you and take care
of your child after you give birth?“
Fiona narrowed her eyes. “Of course he will.“
Luna scoffed. “Do you want me to help you count the number of women he made this promise to? Do you want to
know what happened to all of them in the end? How naive.“
Fiona stood up gracefully. “That’s because you were the one who wanted children, while he didn’t, but it’s different
with me.“
She slowly made her way to Luna and fixated her triumphant, mocking gaze on her. “This morning, Joshua posed a

Fiona smirked and continued, tucking her hair behind her ear, “I didn’t want to because I had to consider my health,
but he told me that he longed to have children with the person he loved. Maybe if your dead son got reborn as me
and Joshua’s child, that’d be great.“
Luna clenched her fists when she heard this.
She stared at Fiona and tried to suppress the urge to rip her into pieces right this instant. “Even though my son is
dead, he’ll never reincarnate himself as Joshua Lynch’s child.“
Letting out an exhale, she stared at Fiona as she enunciated her words carefully, “I don’t care what you want to do,
or how many children you plan to have, but from today onward, if I find out you went to visit my son’s grave or said
anything like this in front of me, I won’t forgive you! “
She glared at Fiona so harshly that it was as though her eyeballs would pop out of their sockets at any moment.
“Don’t underestimate the bond between a mother and her son. If you don’t believe me, I ‘ll let you have a taste! “
With that, Luna picked up the documents on her desk and stormed out of the room, slamming the door behind her.
When she heard the door slam, Fiona could not help curling her lips into a smirk.
She picked up her phone, pleased with herself, and was about to send a message inviting Joshua for lunch when she
received a text from a foreign number. [I’m back in Banyan City.]
Fiona stared at these five words on the screen and felt her breath catch in her throat.
She pursed her lips and typed a reply, [What are you doing back here?]
[Don’t worry, I’m not here to steal your man away.
I’m just back to see how haggard Luna can get.]
After coming out of the meeting room, Luna strode back to her office.

She plopped down in her chair and leaned against it, exhausted. She could not stop thinking about what Fiona had
said in the meeting room…
“This morning, Joshua posed a request to me, right in front of your dead son’s grave. He wanted me to bear
children for him.“
Luna held her face in her hands. How could Joshua…
How could he talk about bearing children with another woman right in front of Neil’s grave?
Even though he did not love Luna, Neil was still his son.
It was bad enough that he did not care about Nigel and Nellie, but with Neil dead, did this mean he was subject to
Joshua’s humiliation and degradation, too?
What was wrong with this man?
Luna thought she would cry, but to her surprise, it was as though all the tears in her body had been depleted. She
could not even shed a single tear.
