When Luna entered Tea Cottage, the first thing that came flying her way was the cushion that Bonnie had thrown.
She did not manage to dodge it in time, and the cushion landed smack on her face.
It did not hurt at all, but Luna's tears still fell.
It was as though all the emotions she had been suppressing for the entire night had finally erupted.
She squatted at the door and started crying like a child.
Inside the room, both Jim and Bonnie grew terrified at this sight. Jim immediately strode over, picked Luna u p, and placed her on the sofa. "What's wrong?"
Bonnie quickly approached her nervously. "I...I didn't throw it very hard at all! Why..."
"She must be upset because of something else," Jim reassured Bonnie with a frown, then reached out to stroke Luna's head. "Come on, tell me what's wrong."
Luna could not stop herself from wrapping her arms around Jim's waist and burying her head in his chest. "Jim...I'll never be able to make it up to my children...
"I chose the Landry family and Mother over them...
"I've disappointed them, and from today onward, they
must hate me already...”
Jim's entire body stiffened when he heard this.
He hugged Luna in return.
He knew that this was unavoidable. It was better for the children to be with Joshua than to return to the Landry family with Luna.
The children were Luna's weaknesses, and just the one in her belly was enough to make Charles force her to swear that she would never see Joshua again.
If the remaining three followed her to the Landry family...
No matter how cruel Joshua was, Jim knew that he would not attack the children nor use them to threaten Luna.
Bonnie could not help feeling a little sad when she saw Jim hugging Luna.
All these years, Luna did not have anyone to rely on apart from Joshua and the three children.
Even though Jim was a scumbag in relationships, he was the only family Luna could rely on from this moment onward.
