Granny Quinn glanced at Luna and Malcolm. Then, she looked down at the pond and continued to feed the fishes in it. “It's getting late, and dinner is about to be ready. Where are you guys going?"
Malcolm smiled. "Luna just came back to Merchant City, so she hasn't gotten used to it yet. I'm going to bring her out for a walk."
"Out for a walk?"
Granny Quinn sneered, then turned around and stared at Malcolm sternly. "Are you afraid that the citizens of Merchant City don't know that the Young Master of Quinn family has become disabled? This woman just arrived, and you already want to bring her out and humiliate the family! Go back inside now!"
With that, Granny Quinn ordered the guards who were standing to one side, "Bring these two back inside the house. In the future, you are not allowed to leave Quinn Mansion without my permission!"
"Granny," Malcolm spoke up immediately, "if you want Luna to stay and marry me, you can't treat her like a prisoner and lock her in this yard. I’m not a prisoner, and she isn't one either. We just want to go out for a walk. Why are you stopping us?"
Granny Quinn scoffed, "I’ll never allow her to leave this yard if she doesn't promise to marry you!"
Granny Quinn gave the guards a meaningful look, signaling them to seize Luna and Malcolm. As soon as they saw this, the guards stormed over and grabbed Luna so hard that they almost tore her clothes.
Luna struggled to release herself while holding onto her clothes and shouting at the same time, "Granny Quinn, all we wanted was just to go out for a walk!"
"Just to go out for a walk? Please don’t think I'm stupid; I know that Joshua has arrived in Merchant City! Are you really going out for a walk, or are you planning to find him and leave Merchant City with him? Let me tell you this: Hunter had put in a lot of effort to get you here, so we'll never allow you to leave that easily!"
Luna bit down on her lip nervously. That was indeed the plan, but she never thought of leaving Merchant City!
Rip-!
At that moment, Luna's struggle had caused her clothes to rip, exposing her fair skin.
