Both Joshua and Luna were quiet for a while before Joshua finally smiled. "Okay, as long as you keep your promise, Ms. Luna. I'm willing to add a passenger on the plane."
Then, Joshua hung up.
Hearing the disconnecting tone, Luna closed her eyes depressingly.
The flight was at seven. By the time she reached Merchant City, it would be around eleven at night.
She hoped everything would not be too late by then.
Soon, the car reached Bonnie's mansion. When Luna entered, her three kids were already awake.
Nellie pushed over Luna's barely unpacked luggage over to her, all teary-eyed.
"Mommy, when are you coming back again? When will we see each other again?"
Neil, on the other hand, was right behind Nellie. He passed Luna a huge bag of food and gifts.
"Mommy, the three of us prepared some food and gifts for you.
"This is for you to have on the plane, and some of these are for you to take to Merchant City. The gifts
are paintings and little handcrafts we made for the past six months."
Neil passed the items to Luna earnestly. "You have to open them and have a good look once you're back. There are also a few communications devices that Nigel did for you. If you don't know how to use them, call Nellie, and I'll tell you."
Looking at how understanding Neil and Nellie were, Luna could not help but walk over and gently hug them.
Then, she turned around and looked at Nigel who was silently sitting on the sofa.
He was hugging his laptop on the sofa with his head lowered. He looked like he was in a terrible mood.
Looking at him, Luna was heartbroken.
Back then, Nigel was sick when the three kids first left Merchant City. She missed Nigel's message and could not send them off at the airport.
