"You're the arrogant one right now!"
Luna gritted her teeth and glared at him. "You intrude into my house while I'm not paying attention. What right do you have to call me arrogant?"
Her detest and hostility toward him were written all over her face.
Joshua hated Luna like that.
He hated the mockery and indifference in her eyes. He hated that she did not have any regard for him.
He could not help but constrict his grip on her neck even tighter.
"I wanted to properly apologize to you today and also discuss Neil and Nellie."
Neil and Nellie. Luna's heart lurched as Joshua mentioned those two names.
She closed her eyes as her voice trembled, "Don't you dare mention Neil and Nellie. You're not worthy of them."
He clutched Luna even tighter.
Joshua was strong; so strong that he could have snapped Luna’s neck in two.
Luna bore through the pain. She forced herself to breathe and continued, “I received Nellie’s call tonight.
She cried on the phone, sobbing at how uncomfortable her stomach is."
Joshua jolted a little.
The next second, he let go of Luna and coldly looked away. "She didn’t even have dinner, so that's why her stomach would be uncomfortable."
When he let her go, Luna slumped onto the ground and leaned against the door feebly.
In the end, she sat up with her back against the door. "I s that so?"
She looked up. There were tears at the corner of her eyes due to the shortness of breath a moment ago, but her gaze was with silent fury.
"While Nellie was still in the womb, her brothers took away her nutrients, so she has been small and skinny ever since birth. The doctors said that her body was too weak, that she might not live for more than a month. I cared for her daily and tried to give her a chance to live however I can. Although she grew up frail, I never let her get seriously ill in the six years she was with me! Not once has she ever had an uncomfortable stomach, nor has she ever called me crying like this." 1
