Luna did not know how she returned to Blue Bay Villa. Her heart was broken, her nose was sore. Her mind was completely blank.
At night, Neil gave her a simple briefing on exposing Aura the next day when Joshua announces Nellie's identity.
"Mommy." At the other end of the video call, Neil frowned. "Is something on your mind?"
Luna took a deep breath. "It's nothing."
"You saw Grandma today, right?"
Nellie, who was hugging her teddy bear beside her said, “She even cried.”
Then, Nellie was a little angry. "Although Grandma was nice to me, what she said made Mommy upset. I used to like Grandma initially, but later on, I don't like her anymore. Just like how I don't like Great-Granny. I think she's..."
"Nellie!" Luna furrowed her brows and interrupted Nellie. "You should go to bed."
Even if Natasha did not trust her, she was still her mother after all. She could not let others talk bad about her. Not even Nellie.
"Oh." Nellie's face fell. "Mommy, I’m sorry. I didn't mean to bad-mouth Grandma."
She was just speaking from her heart, but if Luna got mad, that meant that she made a mistake. "I won't do i t anymore."
Seeing how apologetic her daughter was, Luna was a little heartbroken.
She reached out and hugged Nellie in her arms. "I'm not blaming you. I’m just... in a bad mood.”
"I know." Nellie gently patted Luna on her back. "I'm your little blankie comforting you. You have to be happy, okay!" 1
"If you're Mommy’s little blankie, then what am I? Am I her blanket?" Neil was extremely envious of Nellie hugging Luna on the other end of the video call. "No matter what, I have to be bigger than you!"
"Then, I'll be Mommy’s duvet." At that moment, Nellie's necklace lit up. Nigel said humorously.
Hearing her three children talking, Luna was moved yet she found it comical.
