"I... Luna and I share the same father." Jim let out a sheepish grin and did not dare to meet Joshua's gaze." So it's not impossible that our children...look very alike."
Luke, standing next to them, guffawed when he heard this. "Don't all babies look the same? Besides, how old i s Nellie? How can she remember what she used to look like as a baby?"
With that, he patted Jim's shoulder and said, "You seem to be a little nervous, aren't you?"
Jim pursed his lips and let out a slight cough. "No, I'm not."
Joshua could not help furrowing his brows when he noticed the look on Jim's face. He could not help but feel that Jim was hiding something from him.
All of a sudden, one of the servants came out and told them, "Sirs, Ms. Larson said that since she hasn't seen Ms. Luna in a long time, she wants to spend some time catching up with her, but as soon as Ms. Luna sees Mr. Lynch, she'll lose control of her emotions. Therefore..."
The servant paused and continued, "Ms. Larson hopes that the three of you can leave."
The three men exchanged glances and did not know how to reply to this.
Luke curled his lips into a smile and pulled open the car door. "Come on, you two; we're not welcome here. Let me bring you guys to a nice place."
Joshua and Jim exchanged a look and finally got into the car with Luke.
On the second-floor balcony, Gwen watched the car fade into the distance and let out a sigh of relief as she turned to glance at Luna. "Alright. If you want to cry, you can do so now."
Luna sniffed, wrapped her arms around Gwen's shoulder, and burst into tears.
The pain and helplessness over losing her child were finally released when she saw her best friend.
