As she laid on the little pink bed, Nellie blinked her big eyes and looked at the man earnestly. "You've been with Nellie for a long time, and it’s time to go to work. Just ask the Auntie to come over and tell me a story!"
Joshua took the storybook. "I can tell a good story."
Nellie was flabbergasted.
"You lie! I've heard your stories before!" The little girl stretched out her hand and shook his sleeves. "I want Auntie, Daddy. Go ahead..."
After her repeated requests, Joshua finally stepped out of her room, incredibly disappointed.
Luna stood in the corridor, outside the door, as she waited for him to leave.
The man pushed open the door and looked at Luna with a face full of displeasure before he lifted his feet and left.
Luna shook her head helplessly before she pushed the door in.
"Mommy." Nellie leaned toward Luna and said in a low voice, "Don't you think Daddy is being too gentle today? It looks like he's terrified of losing us, too."
"The one he's afraid of losing is you." Luna pushed the little girl back onto the bed and gently covered her with the quilt. "Mommy has lost all feelings for him a long time ago. The only thing tying me to him is the three of you.
“So..." The woman gently stroked her daughter's head.
"Don't expect Mommy to fall for him, okay?"
Nellie pursed her lips and lowered her head guiltily. "0 h."
At a food stall in the west of the city.
Neil sat on a chair and watched the people in the food stall from all walks of life. He listened to the hustle and bustle, feeling inexplicably excited and happy. 1
When he was abroad, Mommy was always busy. The three of them were bored at home every day. Apart from their godfather and servants, they had no other friends. 2
They would occasionally go out to eat but never like this: sitting at an open-air table, the atmosphere warm and lively with so many people surrounding them.
So this was what it felt like to be immersed in society! 1
"Young man, my name is Zach and the one next to you is Yuri. How should we address you?" Two security guards were beside him, one on the left and the other 0 n the right like two guardians. "It's because of you that the two of us brothers can rise to the top!"
How to address him?
