Somewhat flustered by Luna's reaction, Nigel lifted his head to glance at Joshua, who stood at the door. "Are you going to just watch, Mr. Lynch?”
Joshua curled his lips into a smile, leaned against the door frame, and teasingly answered, "You're the one who made her cry, so it's your responsibility to make her smile again. I'm not going to get involved in this."
Nigel rolled his eyes at him and gently patted Luna's shoulder. "That's enough now, Ms. Luna. I'm starving."
Luna froze for a moment, then let go of him.
She lifted her head and discovered that Bonnie, too, had started crying while embracing Harvey.
Harvey let out a sigh and gently patted Bonnie's back in reassurance. "It’s okay if you feel like crying. I..."
He glanced in Nigel's direction and explained, "I only found out what had happened in Merchant City after Nigel showed the information to me on the plane. I can’t believe that . you and Mr. Jim had ended up like this, but don't worry-"
He reached out to pat Bonnie's back once more and declared, "I'll try my best to help you no matter what!"
Bonnie sniffed and tried to force out a smile, but tears started falling down her cheeks once more.
She was crying so hard at this point that she could not even say a single word.
All the pain and misery she had been put through during the past few days seemed to have consolidated into big, wet tears spilling down her cheeks, only to be released before this young boy that she trusted with all her heart.
After a while, when Bonnie had finally calmed down, the car door opened once more.
June, wearing a formal dress, stepped out of the car, holding a tiny baby in her arms gingerly.
Luna glanced at Bonnie, still crying in Harvey's arms, and decided to take the baby herself.
