“Of course it’s you, Mr. Lynch.“ Before Luna could even reply, Bonnie curled her lips into a small smile.
She plopped down in a chair and continued, a cold sneer playing on her lips, “Do you think just because you helped
Luna rescue your own son and took care of her for a few days after she saved you from falling off a cliff means she
owes you?“
Bonnie picked up a wine glass and took a small sip before adding, “Why don’t we see who’s been rude over the last
few months? Who was the one who brought a new woman —one that he’s only met once
—home just mere days after his son’s death? Who was the one who went home to visit Fiona as soon as he woke
up, even though Luna took care of him for three days while he was unconscious?
Bonnie continued to stare at Joshua coldly. “Please don’t think that just because Fiona is dead now, everything that
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtyou did in the past magically disappeared, Mr. Lynch.“
The atmosphere in the garden seemed to be frozen over.
Joshua narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.
Every one of these questions felt like a thorn in Luna’s heart. She knew that the reason Bonnie brought this up was
to stand up for her, but…
Joshua was not the only one unwilling to recall these memories; even Luna herself could not bear to reminisce.
Luna let out an exhale and turned to glance at Joshua. “What’s wrong, Mr. Lynch? Why aren’t you saying anything?“
Joshua stared at Luna with an intense look. “Actually Actually, he had never been in love with Fiona at all. All the
things he did for her…was to save Nigel.
However, before he could even finish his sentence, Luna interjected curtly, “It’s okay if you don’t want to answer,
Mr. Lynch. I didn’t expect you to explain your past behavior, anyway. All I hope is that you remember the things you
did in the past. The bad things you did far outweigh the good, so you have no right to reprimand me for not inviting
you.“
Truth be told, Luna had considered inviting Joshua to her party this afternoon.
After all, if it were not for his cruelty and quick wit, she and Nigel would not even be alive at this moment.
However, in the end, she still gave up on inviting him.
For starters, she knew that he did not like large crowds or noise. Secondly…
After what she had experienced, Luna knew that her friends were not fond of him at all. Therefore, she decided not
to invite Joshua so as not to ruin the party for everyone else.
However, that did not mean that she was an ungrateful person.

Initially, Luna wanted to go to Joshua’s office in a few days to thank him in person for his help, but she did not
expect that he would show up at the party as Shannon’s plus-one.
Since he was already here, she decided that it would be rude to send him off, so she let out an exhale and said, “It’s
not that I don’t want you here, Mr. Lynch, but I’m the host of this party tonight, so I hope that you show some
manners and respect towards me.“
Seeing that the atmosphere was growing more and more awkward, Nellie let out an exhale and piped up,
interrupting the awkward silence, “Alright,
Mommy! I’ll take good care of Daddy and make sure he doesn’t say anything mean to anyone! “
With that, she picked up a slice of orange and shoved it into Joshua’s mouth. “Eat more and talk less, Daddy! “
As soon as he heard Nellie’s soft, childish voice, Joshua relaxed, and the steely expression on his face dissipated.
He lowered his head to toy with Nellie’s ponytail and chewed on the orange she had stuffed into his mouth. “Thank
you, Nellie.“
