Will You Marry Me, My Ex-Wife? novel Chapter 162

"I'm not a local from Banyan City, and I don’t know anyone apart from you and the Lynch family...” Luna tried to protest.

Before she could finish, however, Natasha shoved the other card into her hand and said, "Take this card as well... There's a lot of money in this one, too. You can have both cards, as long as you help me find evidence that Aura was framed.”

Luna lowered her gaze to look at the two cards Natasha had given her. She could recognize both of them. One of them was Natasha's personal account which contained all her life savings; Luna herself had helped Natasha set up the account. The other one, however, was a card she had given Natasha just before she got married to Joshua. The card contained all of Luna's own savings and assets. At that time, Luna knew it was rough for her parents to raise her till adulthood, yet because she was getting married so young, she did not know how to repay them, so she accumulated all her savings into an account and decided to gift the card to her mother.

Little did Luna know that many years later, this card would make its way back to her. She couldn't believe that, in a twist of fate, she would one day stand before her mother with a new face and identity and that her mother would offer her this money to help clear Aura’s name, i

"Mrs. Gibson, what if even after I investigated, the evidence still points to Aura being guilty?"

Natasha froze. It was obvious she never expected that Luna would ask her this question.

After a moment’s hesitation, she let out a sigh and answered, "Well, in that case... I have no choice but to accept the truth." After finishing her sentence, Natasha closed her eyes.

"I have only two daughters. It’s one thing to be disappointed by my eldest, but if the other one turned out the same..." Natasha lamented, but she trailed off before she could finish.

Gazing at Natasha's sunken and languish face, Luna bit down on her bottom lip. She did not know how to describe her feelings at that moment. It was a maelstrom of feelings rioting in her simultaneously.

Luna felt painfully disappointed that her own mother did not trust her at all, yet at the same time, she knew she could not blame Natasha for feeling that way. It must have been unbearably agonizing for Natasha to have to come to terms with her daughter's betrayal. Perhaps, in the past, Natasha had struggled to believe that Luna would do something like that, just like how she struggled to believe otherwise in Aura.
