"Does Daddy want to give me a younger brother or sister?” asked Nellie and blinked innocently at Luna.
Luna did not know how to answer her daughter’s question. She bit down on her lip and remained silent for a moment before she finally responded, "Daddy wants to have another child, but not with Mommy."
Nigel let out a sigh, then gripped Luna's finger tightly with his small hand. "Don't be sad, Mommy, you still have us."
Nellie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood what Nigel was saying. She bit on her lip and buried her head against Luna's chest. "Mommy, I'll always love you."
She would no longer love her father as she did before! Not only was he aggressive and hostile toward Luna, but he even wanted children with other women apart from her mother! 1
Luna sighed upon hearing her children's heartwarming words, then took them back to their room and patiently tucked them in for bed.
By the time Nigel and Nellie fell asleep, more than an hour had already passed.
Joshua was nowhere to be found.
Seeing Luna come downstairs, Lily told her, "After Mr.
Lynch woke up, he immediately drove away without saying a word, but he had asked me how you were doing before he left. I told him you were doing fine, and he smiled and said, 'How is that possible?' He then left without saying anything else."
After hearing what Lily said, Luna narrowed her eyes and smirked.
True. How was it possible that she was alright?
It turned out that Joshua knew her well.
"Oh, by the way." Luna turned around as if she suddenly recalled something and glanced at Lily. "Ask the doctor to come downstairs."
Lily paused. "What for?" Nigel was already asleep, so why did Luna need the doctor?
