"No, no, no!" Aura immediately tried to deny everything. She was so agitated that tears started streaming down her face. "How can you suspect me, Joshua? I'm really..."
She bit down on her lip nervously. Her face was already red from the crying, and it made her look exceptionally pitiful. "I was just afraid that the children wouldn't be able to see Luna for the last time

She lowered her head and continued in a sobbing voice, "If I had known there was only one car-one that had broken brake cables-left at Lynch Mansion, I wouldn't have asked them to come in the first place!"
She turned and shot Nigel and Nellie an aggrieved look as she said, "It's all Aunty Aura's fault. Can you forgive me?"
Nigel narrowed his eyes and turned to glance at Joshua.
He knew that Joshua had no intention of punishing Aura for this. Even though he felt a little displeased by this, he still knew that there were reasons as to why adults choose to do certain things.
Therefore, he stopped Nellie, who was just about to reprimand Aura, and glanced at Aura, smiling. "Since Aunty Aura didn't do this on purpose, of course we
have to forgive you!"
With that, Nigel blinked innocently and fixated his big, dark eyes on Aura. "But please remember to think things through before you do anything in the future, Aunty Aura!
"If everything you did just so happened to coincide with what bad people do, then even if we choose to forgive you, Daddy will eventually start to think this isn't all just a coincidence!"
Nigel let out an exhale and added, "Alright then. Let's not disturb Daddy and Aunty Aura anymore. We're going upstairs to see Mommy now!"
With that, he grabbed onto Nellie with one hand and Bonnie with the other and strode in the direction of the elevator.
Bonnie furrowed her brows at this. As she stepped foot onto the elevator, she could not stop herself from letting go of Nigel's hand and storming toward Joshua.
