Joshua curled up his lips and smiled when Luna mentioned their lost daughter. "Our daughter will be by our side when she turns one."
Luna furrowed her brow and looked at Joshua. "Why are you so certain? Did you find any information about her?"
"Yes." Joshua nodded without any hesitation yet did not divulge the whole truth to her. "We're double-checking it. The result will be out in a couple of days."
In truth, the paternity results regarding him, Luna, and Shelly were already out. Shelly was indeed their biological daughter, and his heart raced in excitement when he got hold of the result. Never had he imagined Jim was the one who took away their daughter after Hunter kidnapped her.
During then, Luna was on bad terms with Jim, and it seemed like Luna was never going to forgive him. In that situation, Jim would never tell Luna or him that he had taken Shelly.
Who would have thought Jim would lose his memory not long after? As a result, they did not get any bits of help from Jim when they tried to find their daughter.
Joshua felt warm after knowing Shelly had been on his radar all the while. Moreover, Bonnie had requested Luna and him to help to take care of her numerous times… Their daughter was never too far from them.
Nevertheless, he did not think it was the right time to break this news to Luna yet. He knew Luna too well and how deep her love was for her children. If he told her that Shelly was her daughter instantly, she would not care about anything else and would fly back to Merchant City immediately.
He had his motives, and he hoped Luna would be there with him when he settled the matter with Adrian. Regardless of how much of a bastard Adrian was, he was his father. He did not wish to be alone nor be without Luna when he ended and cut off ties with his father.
Besides, there should not be a problem with Shelly since she was well under the care of Bonnie, Jim, and her three siblings. Once Joshua settled everything here, it was not too late to bring Luna back and surprise her.
