Luna's words sounded harsh and spiteful to Jude's ears.
He furrowed his brows and glanced at the stone-faced woman through the rearview mirror. He wanted to say something but could not seem to find the right words for it.
She and Joshua's relationship had become so complicated that Jude no longer knew how to help them maintain their peace anymore.
He let out a sigh and rubbed his brows in frustration. " I know that you think both Joshua and I are liars, but there are some things I can't explain to you just yet. You'll find out the truth when it’s time. I never lied to you at all."
Luna scoffed when she heard this; she clearly did not believe him.
The car soon arrived at Blue Bay Villa.
Luna let out an exhale and, after thanking Jude, turned and got out of the car.
As soon as she opened the door, she spotted Lily cleaning the house while trying to persuade the two children sitting on the sofa to go to bed. "Young Master Nigel, Princess Nellie, Ms. Luna has informed me that she's out at a party and will be home late tonight..."
Nigel, who was brushing his sister's hair tenderly, replied, "If Nellie doesn’t go to sleep, then I won't, too."
Nellie silently fiddled with her fingers, her head lowered as she did.
The first thing Luna saw when she entered the house was Lily sighing in exasperation, then disappearing into the bathroom to rinse her mop.
Luna sighed. She knew that her two children would be waiting for her; they refused to go to bed if she was not there to tuck them in.
"Nigel, Nellie.” Luna entered the living room. She smiled while changing into her slippers. "Why aren't you two asleep yet?"
The two children perked up when they heard their mother’s voice. Nigel immediately let go of Nellie and exclaimed, "Mommy, you're back!"
Meanwhile, Nellie immediately raced over to Luna and wrapped her arms around Luna's leg tightly, still refusing to say a word.
Luna sighed. She could tell Nellie was worried about her, so she reached down and pulled Nellie into her arms.
