Luna's gaze dropped to the ground, and her voice grew weak. "If they get together again, Mrs. Barrett Senior would be happy. It'll be good news for your family too."
"What are you talking about, Luna? That's not how it'll work. If they get together again, there won't be a place for us in the family. Mia is Ms. Lane right now. No one would dare to mess with her. Besides, she's pregnant with Timothy's child."
"What?" Luna's face fell.
Shelly hushed her voice deliberately. "I'm the only person in the family that knows this. Mia's doing a good job keeping everyone in the dark."
"There's no reason for her to keep everyone in the dark, though."
"Previously, I thought that she would use the child to threaten him. Then, I don't think he's the father. Now, I don't know whether it is his child anymore. Either way, if they get together again, I'll be dead meat."
Luna's eyes darted to the middle of the party venue, where the people were dressed in branded clothes and enjoying their time with a wine glass in each hand.
Admiration tinged her eyes, finally knowing how it felt to be at a party hosted for the rich.
She muttered, "Is there really no way to stop them from getting together again?"
Soon, Kaleb came up to them. "Ms. Maynard, Mr. Barrett asked you not to show up at the party. If you disobey his rule, you'll have to leave Barrett residence for the time being."
She gulped down the bitterness at the tip of her tongue. Nevertheless, she decided to ask, "Is Mrs. Barrett Senior free right now? I'd like to meet her."
"She's preparing to show up at the party. She's not free at the moment."
Left with no choice, Luna looked at Shelly. "Enjoy the party. You can tell me stories later."
"O-Okay." Shelly was flabbergasted.
Once Luna entered the house, Shelly questioned Kaleb, "What's going on between Luna and Timothy? Why does she want to meet Grandma? I don't remember her having anything to do with us, though."
