Hearing what Nellie said, Luna restrained herself from laughing while looking at Joshua, who also sported a small smile.
He walked forward and squatted to hoist Nellie into his arms before striding into the house. When they were at the door, he turned to look back at Luna. "Come, let's go try Neil's cooking."
Luna smiled and started to walk. "What about Nigel's cooking?"
"Lucas can have all of it." He turned around and entered the house with Nellie in his arms.
The corner of Luna's lips curled up as she looked at the back of Joshua and Nellie. Then, she quickly chased after them.
When they walked into the house, Lucas just got out of the washroom while rubbing his stomach.
At that moment, Nellie felt rather guilty as she stared at his pale face. After all, she had started to get closer to him after spending time with him for more than a year.
Thus, Nellie winked and looked at Joshua, then at Luna. "Daddy, Mommy, why don't 1... eat Nigel's cooking on behalf of Uncle Lucas?” she asked sweetly.
She knew her parents would never allow her to eat Nigel's terrible cooking, so this method would definitely work to help Lucas escape the fate of eating Nigel's cooking.
Surprisingly, Joshua turned down Nellie's request today. He raised his hand and pinched Nellie's nose. "I know you want to be a good girl and help Uncle Lucas. But..."
He raised his head and looked at Lucas, who was walking out of the washroom while holding the wall, coldly. "Uncle Lucas must finish all of Nigel's cooking today. This is his punishment."
Lucas had trouble breathing because of Joshua's stern and strong pressure. He remembered... The last time Joshua used the same look at him was when Joshua knew he used his authority to allow the doctor to come to the house. As he remembered, he could not help and felt guilty.
