Natasha's words were filled with regret. “It's a pity. Lulu was such a great kid...“
“Mom.“ Aura frowned hard next to her. “The waiter is still waiting for you to order.“
Aura did not like Natasha talking about Luna.
Ever since young, Luna was Natasha's pride. Aura had always been living under Luna's shadow, so ever since she was of age, Aura was inexplicably hostile toward Luna.
“Ah, I'll continue my order.“ Aura's words pulled Natasha back to the present.
Natasha sighed. She asked Nellie's preference while ordering. Occasionally, she would look at Luna. “ Miss, do you eat spicy food?“
“Yes, I do,“ Luna said with her head lowered. She did not dare to look at Natasha.
She was trembling violently inside, it had been six whole years of longing.
She could not reconcile with her mother, who was right in front of her. She could only assume another identity.
The amount of pain she was in was all thanks to Joshua and Aura! At that thought, Luna clenched her fists tightly.
When Nigel was cured, she would make sure they suffered as she did!
“That's all.“ Once Natasha had ordered, she started talking to Nellie. She kept asking Nellie where Luna Gibson was.
Nellie looked at Luna, then carefully said, “Mommy said... that she still has important things to do. Once she has done them, she will come back.“
Then, Nellie looked at Natasha with her two round eyes. “She said that she wants to have caramel pudding with you when she returns! “
Natasha could not help but think of Luna, looking at Nellie. She secretly wiped away tears. “That silly child, what could she be doing that she could not see her own mother for six years?“
“Perhaps she has more important things to do.“ Aura secretly rolled her eyes, but she still looked sincere on the surface.
She looked at Natasha and said emotionally, “ Perhaps, in Luna's heart, her family is not important to her.“
Natasha immediately turned pale.
The night before, when she heard from Aura that Luna did not die and that Luna even sent her child back, Natasha could not sleep for the entire night.
She could not understand. Luna was such a filial and kind child. Why would she choose to not say a word to her family after surviving the accident?
She even waited for six years to send Nellie back. She used Nellie to tell everyone that she was still alive but never has she once shown her face.
What on earth could she be doing that was so important?
It was so important that she lost touch with her parents for six whole years? How important was it that she did not have any contact with Banyan City?
Moreover, she sent Nellie directly back to Joshua after six years. Was she not afraid that Nellie would suffer being by Joshua's side?
Natasha thought for the entire night but she still could not understand.
At that moment, Aura's every word was like a knife stabbing into her heart.
“Mom, don't be too sad.“ Aura could see Natasha's fragility. She sneered and continued, “Wasn't Luna always like that? When we told her not to marry Joshua, she refused to listen, she even fought with us over this. If I had not worked above her later on, she really would have cut ties with the family! “
Natasha sighed. A hint of sadness formed in her eyes. “Yes. She has always been stubborn. Our words hold no weight in her heart. Okay. Let's not talk about this anymore.“

Then, Natasha turned around and continued catching up with Nellie.
Sitting at the corner, Luna clenched her fists tightly under the table while listening to the two of them talking.
That was not the case! It was not like that! She has never forgotten her parents. She has always missed home.
When she wanted to marry Joshua, she never wanted to fight with her parents!
It was Aura!
At that time, she loved and trusted Aura the most.
Aura told her, “Luna, don't worry. Just go and marry Mr. Lynch. I'd still be here at home.“
“Mom and dad said they wanted to cut ties with you, but they're just trying to frighten you. They still love you a lot, don't you remember?“
“Just do what you want to do. I '11 help you out with mom and dad.“
At that time, how would Luna suspect her younger sister, whom she grew up with?
Thus, she happily got married to Joshua and moved to Banyan City.
It was later on when her father appeared at the gates of Blue Bay Villa. Only then did Luna know that not only did Aura not help her, but she even told her parents that Luna wanted to cut ties with them.
She has even reprimanded Aura over this, but Aura knelt on the ground crying, saying that she was still young and did not handle the matter well, so she screwed it up.
Luna naively believed her. She even comforted Aura for a very long time, until that day...
When Luna heard Aura speak of the incident back then, she finally understood that her conflict with her parents was due to Aura all along!
“Grandma.“ Nellie was quiet for a long time being in Natasha's arms. In the end, she could not help but say, “Mommy has not forgotten any of you.“
Although Nellie sounded childish, her tone was determined, “Mommy misses home a lot. She has secretly put Grandma and Grandpa's photos on her computer. She has always cried while eating caramel pudding too.“
Nellie looked at Natasha's face. “Mommy has a very, very, very important thing to do, so she can't come back for the time being.“
Aura rolled her eyes.
That b*tch! Always going up against her! She should have been crueler at the ferris wheel back then. She was sending Nellie straight to see Hades!
“I see.“ Aura smiled forcefully at Nellie, but her eyes were hostile. “Then, tell Aunty, what is your Mommy doing that is so important that she can't even see her parents?“
“I can't tell you.“ Nellie pursed her lips. After a while of silence, Nellie lifted her head once more. “But, Grandma, I believe, when Mommy returns after doing what she needed to do, you will understand her! “
Seeing how hopeful Nellie looked, Natasha could say nothing else. She sighed and patted Nellie on her head. “The way you defended your Mommy is just like how she was when she was young. You're too understanding.“
Aura narrowed her eyes. She was so furious her eyes could spray fire.
It has been so many years! Luna has left for so many years, yet her mother would still smile proudly at the mention of Luna every single time!
What about her? Natasha never thought that Aura was as good as Luna. She still treated her as a child. Not only would she reprimand her, but she would also compare her to Luna!
Aura has finally managed to convince Natasha of Luna's terrible actions the night before. What happened?
Once they met Nellie the following day, Natasha was swayed once more!
Aura gritted her teeth hard. She swept a cold glance at Nellie. “I still can't understand what is so important that she would not even want to see her parents! “
“There are indeed things like that.“ Luna suddenly said coldly.
Aura furrowed her brows and looked at her.
Luna gracefully picked the teacup up and took a sip. ” For example, revenge.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 103 online free
Revenge.
This triggered Aura violently.
Luna Gibson wanted to seek revenge? For what? At who? Was she seeking revenge on her?
How dare she!
She should have killed Luna Gibson with her own bare hands!
When the driver kicked her into the sea, it was too good a deal for her! If Aura had taken things into her own hands back then, Luna Gibson would not have been alive, let alone give birth to that bastard of a child!
Hints of resentment flashed across Aura's face. She sneered at Luna, “You're saying as if someone offended my sister.“
Aura gracefully pushed her hair back behind her ear. “She was the one that left without a word. She even said that she betrayed Joshua. No one did anything to her, who is she seeking revenge on?“
Then, Aura looked at Luna coldly. Her eyes were filled with hostility and danger. “You have never even seen her before, what right do you have to talk about her? How rude.“
Unable to take Luna being insulted by Aura, Nellie, who was next to Natasha, deliberately raised her voice while changing the subject. “Grandma, I want to have some of this! “
Natasha was stunned. She immediately grabbed some food for Nellie. “Aura, stop talking. Nellie is still here.“
Aura harrumphed. “I'm just telling the truth.“ Natasha furrowed her brows. “Stop talking.“
Then, she looked at Luna kindly. “My second daughter's character is just that way. Please don't mind her.“
Looking at her mother's haggard, old face, Luna's throat tightened.
“But,“ Natasha sighed and said while taking food for Nellie, “Aura is right. No one did anything to her, nor offended her. She left without a word and never appeared once for the last six years. It is indeed quite disappointing.“
Luna bit her lips hard. She looked at her wan and sallow mother. In the end, she could not help it. She gritted and said, “You... also think that what she did was not right?“
Natasha looked at Luna, stunned.
Luna took a deep breath. She cleared her throat and said, “I have been working with Mr. Lynch. I have heard rumors of his ex-wife. I always thought that they were just rumors. When I hear what the two of you spoke of her today, I'm just a little curious. What sort of person is Mr. Lynch's ex-wife like.“
She wanted to know how her mother thought of her.
Since young, her mother was the one that understood and loved her the most.
Luna did not believe that her mother would be like the others, believing that she had an affair, which led her to leave without saying goodbye and getting into an accident.
She truly believed that her mother would not believe the lies that Aura and Joshua came up with.
However, she was wrong.
Natasha sighed and said, “Lulu is a great kid, but... people make mistakes, right?“
Natasha smiled bitterly. “Perhaps that man really treats her well, so well that she decided not to contact her family for six years.“
Then, Natasha fed Nellie a spoonful of soup. “Is that uncle treating your mommy well?“
Nellie was not paying attention to what Natasha and Aura were talking about. Upon hearing Natasha asking her about whether the uncle was treating her mommy well, she naturally thought of Malcolm Quinn.
Thus, Nellie smiled and drank the soup. “Uncle Malcolm treats mommy well. Me too! “
Upon hearing that, Natasha looked relieved. “As long as she is well...“
“You hear that? “ Aura glanced at Luna coldly. “Just do your job as a maid. Don't meddle in other people's affairs. How could we not know better than you what sort of person my sister is like?“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 104 online free
“Aura, have some.“
While Natasha was feeding Nellie, she placed some prosciutto into Aura's plate. “You've gotten skinny recently.“
Aura was indifferent to Natasha's concerns. She did not even thank her and picked up her utensils and ate them quickly.
Luna lowered her head and forced her tears from falling. She has lost all energy to continue bickering with Aura.
Turns out this was how her mother thought of her. After leaving her for six years, everything has changed.
Her mother, who once used to believe her unconditionally, has been brainwashed by Aura. She no longer believes in Luna.
If only her mother could trust her more, she would realize Aura and Joshua's scheme. It was flawed and filled with errors.
If only her mother held on a little longer, she would have the courage to secretly reconcile with her.
She has left her mother for way too long. She wanted to bury herself in her mother's arms and cry.
Distrust, misunderstood, and unfamiliarity. They were like a huge wall blocking her. She could only
continue putting on her mask, being a stranger to her own mother.
Luna did not enjoy that meal at all. When she put her utensils down, her phone rang.
“Bring Nellie back after eating.“ Joshua's tone was cold and low. “Your son has told me that you understood how Aura thought of Nellie. If you knew so, why would you dare bring Nellie to have a meal with her? Hmm?“
Luna pursed her lips. She turned back to look at Natasha who was happily playing with Nellie. “Ms. Nellie's Grandma is here. I just thought that Ms. Nellie just came back from overseas. She should spend some time with her grandmother, so I...“
Joshua scoffed, “Since when did you become so humane?“
Luna furrowed her brows. “Since when was I ever not?“
“When you treat me.“
“Mr. Lynch, you must be joking. How would I dare do so?”
Joshua was silent for a while. After a moment, he continued, “Just bring Nellie back. No matter how much Natasha likes Nellie, she would still bring Aura along.“
“Okay.“
After hanging up, Luna took a deep breath. She walked over to Natasha. “Mr. Lynch wants me to bring Ms. Nellie back now.“
Natasha reluctantly put Nellie down. “I don't cause you trouble. You may go."
Luna nodded and looked at Natasha meaningfully. Then, she picked Nellie up and strode away.
“Let's continue shopping, didn't you say you wanted to buy a skirt?"
“Hmm, Mom, I'll buy one for you." “I'm not as vain as you..."
Luna carried Nellie and walked away fast.
However, Aura and Natasha's conversation could still be heard from behind.
After she made sure that she was out of their sight, Luna ran. She ran until she could no longer hear them before stopping.
Nellie, who was in her arms, raised her little hand and wiped off her tears, heartbroken.
“Mommy, you're crying."
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 105 online free
Luna did not know how she returned to Blue Bay Villa. Her heart was broken, her nose was sore. Her mind was completely blank.
At night, Neil gave her a simple briefing on exposing Aura the next day when Joshua announces Nellie's identity.
“Mommy.“ At the other end of the video call, Neil frowned. “Is something on your mind?“
Luna took a deep breath. “It's nothing.“ “You saw Grandma today, right?“
Nellie, who was hugging her teddy bear beside her said, “She even cried.“
Then, Nellie was a little angry. “Although Grandma was nice to me, what she said made Mommy upset. I used to like Grandma initially, but later on, I don't like her anymore. Just like how I don't like Great-Granny. I think she's...“
“Nellie! “ Luna furrowed her brows and interrupted Nellie. “You should go to bed.“
Even if Natasha did not trust her, she was still her mother after all. She could not let others talk bad about her. Not even Nellie.
“Oh.“ Nellie's face fell. “Mommy, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bad-mouth Grandma.“
She was just speaking from her heart, but if Luna got mad, that meant that she made a mistake. “I won't do it anymore.“
Seeing how apologetic her daughter was, Luna was a little heartbroken.
She reached out and hugged Nellie in her arms. “I 'm not blaming you. I'm just... in a bad mood.“
“I know. “ Nellie gently patted Luna on her back. “ I'm your little blankie comforting you. You have to b e happy, okay! “
“If you're Mommy's little blankie, then what am I? A m I her blanket?“ Neil was extremely envious of Nellie hugging Luna on the other end of the video call. “No matter what, I have to be bigger than you! “
“Then, I'11 be Mommy's duvet. “ At that moment, Nellie's necklace lit up. Nigel said humorously.
Hearing her three children talking, Luna was moved yet she found it comical.
“It's summer, why do I need so many covers?“ Nellie pouted. “Then, I'll be Mommy's little fan! “ Neil said, “I'll be her ceiling fan then.“
Nigel chimed in, “Then I can only be her air conditioner.“
Nellie and Neil were unhappy. “Why do you have to one up us?“
“Because I 'm better than the two of you?“ The three of them started bickering.
Luna sat on the rug listening to the three of them. The sadness in her heart gradually faded.
She has lost so much in the last six years. Her love, her family, also the contacts that she has built for the last zo years.
However, she did not lose it all. She gained a new life, a new confidante like Malcolm. She even gained...
Luna lowered her eyes and looked at Nellie bickering over the video call.
She gained the mature Nigel, the smart Neil, and the understanding and lovely Nellie.
At that thought, Luna walked over and hugged Nellie tight.
“You have to take good care of yourself in the future, you hear me? If you have any problems, you contact your two brothers and me immediately.“
Tomorrow onward, she was going to resign her job a t the Blue Bay Villa. Her plans would be right back on track.
“I will! “ Nellie reached out and clutched Luna's face. “Mommy, you have to be good too. You have to eat well and take good care of Nigel and Neil. I'm already six, I will be sensible! “
Neil's voice came from the video call, “This silly six— year-old girl actually dares to say she is sensible?“
Nigel helplessly chuckled from the necklace, “Aren't you six also? Don't forget, we're triplets.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 106 online free
Neil was speechless.
“Hmph! Nigel still treats me the best! “ Nellie placed her hands on her hips and looked proud. “When Nigel gets better, I '11 only bring him shopping and we'll have good food together alone! “
Neil was aggrieved. “Mommy, look at your daughter! “
Luna smiled helplessly. She hugged Nellie and continued chatting with Neil on the video call while talking to Nigel via the necklace.
In Nellie's brightly lit room, it was a lovely scene with Luna hugging Nellie.
In the garden in the backyard, Joshua looked at the figure inside the French window. He furrowed his brows a little.
Leaning by the pillar of the gazebo, he put out the cigarette in his hand.
This was his fifth cigarette.
He did not know why, but at the thought that Luna was leaving Blue Bay Villa the next day, he was inexplicably annoyed.
He has been standing there looking at Luna and Nellie for a long time.
She was at first in a bad mood, then she started laughing in tears, yet at that moment, she was filled with reluctance and helplessness.
He could feel that she did not want to leave Nellie, yet she had no choice.
He sighed in annoyance and lit another cigarette.
He did not understand what this woman was insisting on.
She clearly did not want to leave Nellie or him, yet she kept insisting on it.
She set a date for herself to leave, putting so many restrictions on herself.
As long as Luna told him that she did not want to leave, he would let her stay, but she did not do it. Not once.
Why? Was it because he had tried getting rid of her previously?
This unknowingly made him think of Luna Gibson. She used to be deeply in love with him, relying on him. From the moment she married him, she wanted to share everything with him.
At that moment, he did not know how to live. He even felt that he did not like her, so he was always annoyed at her. He even despised her.
Later on, there was once he lashed out at her. From then onward, Luna Gibson never shared anything on her mind with him anymore. She would not tell him of the things that she encountered.
It was as if she had become a different person within a night.
Although her fascination and love for him in his eyes have not changed, she has become silent. She shut herself off.
He was not used to that. He thought that she was only throwing a tantrum. After a while, she would be better, but...
She has never shared anything with him anymore, up until she left him six years ago.
Joshua shut his eyes and smiled bitterly with the cigarette in his mouth.
Were all the women in the world so vindictive? Perhaps only the ones he met?
At that thought, Joshua picked up his phone and dialed Lucas.
Half an hour later, there was a door on Luna's door.
Lucas was standing by her door groggily, yawning. “ Luna, do you still want to continue staying in Blue Bay Villa?“
Luna slightly furrowed her brows. “Why?“
“Mr. Lynch wants me to tell you that if you still want to continue staying here taking care of Nellie, go to his study to find him. He is waiting for you in his study.“
“Oh.“ Then, Luna slammed the door shut.
“Hey! “ Lucas frowned and knocked on the door. “ What do you mean by that?“
Luna said with a yawn, “It's late, good night! “ “You're not going to look for him?“
Lucas was actually done with work for the night, but Joshua deliberately got him to take some documents to him, just so he could wait for Luna in his study room.
However, this was the attitude that Luna was showing?
Luna said lazily, ”I don't have the time.”
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 107 online free
Joshua has been waiting for Luna in his study for almost two hours.
After two hours, he could no longer take it. He closed his file and covered his face with his hands in irritation.
She did not come. She truly did not want to continue staying. He was just overthinking this all this while.
Joshua chuckled self-deprecatingly and walked out of the study.
He wanted to walk around the villa. Unknowingly, he arrived at the door of Luna's room.
The lights in her room have been switched off. She must be asleep by then.
Joshua gently sighed and walked to Nellie's room. She was also sleeping soundly.
It seemed like he was the only person who could not sleep in the entire villa. He was the only one who was reluctant to say goodbye the next day.
Joshua returned to his room. He took Luna Gibson's photo from under his pillow. He gently caressed it over and over again.
After a while, he laughed bitterly. “Come back quickly.“
“If you're not still not back yet...“
He would really fall for another woman.
At that thought, Joshua closed his eyes. He had no idea what was going on with him. When he heard that Luna passed away, he swore to love her only for his entire life.
He has kept his promise for six years. He thought that he could continue on this way.
However, a woman called Luna brilliantly dominated his life like poison. He knew that Luna Gibson was still alive and he should put all his focus on finding her.
However...
That night, Joshua did not sleep well.
He hugged Luna Gibson's photo and kept reflecting, denying, and persuading himself.
In the end, he made a tough decision.
The early morning arrived as usual.
In order for her plans to go smoothly that night, Luna headed to her studio early in the morning.
She shifted the materials that Malcolm had sent her into the room that was burnt down by the fire.
Luna converted the room into a simple studio. Luna used two days to restore the sketches for the Stargazing jewelry series. She even made a real one.
In her studio, she confirmed the details of the jewelry once more before putting them in her bag.
When she returned to Blue Bay Villa, it was already 10 in the morning.
She met Aura at the entrance of the villa.
Aura was in a navy blue jeweled dress. Her hair was up, looking elegant and sensual.
She was sitting elegantly in the driver's seat of a red Porsche. When she saw Luna, Aura wind the window down and looked at her condescendingly.
“I heard that you're f*cking off after today?“
Luna glanced at her without saying anything. She continued walking.
“I 've said that those who offend me won't end up well.“
Aura sneered resentfully through the window.
“I do quite like you actually, but too bad you keep protecting that little b*tch. You're a smart person. If you had picked me over her when you first came, you probably would have been the maid with the best treatment in Blue Bay Villa. Too bad you don't know what's good for you.“ Aura sneered. Luna stopped in her tracks. She turned back to look a t Aura. “You're actually proud that you're going up against a six-year-old child? I'm glad that I don't know any better and just hate you.“
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 108 online free
“If not, I would have had a guilty conscience working for you.“
Aura immediately frowned at Luna's words. She immediately opened the car door and got down from the car.
She strode over Luna. “I dare you to say another word! “
Luna looked at her coldly. “It will still be the same no matter how much I say.“
Aura gritted her teeth.
Luna was in a cheap servant's uniform with no make-up on her face. She looked poor and miserable. How dare she look at her with those eyes!
Her aloofness in her eyes made Aura feel like she was in a different rank compared to Luna. Those condescending, cold eyes were the same as Luna Gibson back then!
Looking at Luna at that moment, Aura even felt that she was once more back under the shadows of Luna Gibson. At that thought, Aura was infuriated.
She could not find Luna Gibson nor handle her. Could she not even deal with a lowly servant?
Aura bit her lips. She walked over quickly to Luna in her seven-centimeters-tall high heels.
She raised her hands and slapped Luna brutally. Aura thought that she was quick enough to slap Luna, she did not expect that Luna was quicker.
The moment she raised her hands, Luna accurately grabbed her hand in mid-air.
Luna looked at Aura coldly. “Only the incompetent would resort to violence.“
Then, she grabbed Aura's hand and flung it hard.
Aura lost her balance and fell to the ground. Her expensive dress was covered in dirt. Her hair was in a mess. She was looking wretched.
“Luna! “
Aura got up with difficulty. She glared fiercely at Luna's back. “If I can get rid of Luna Gibson, I could get rid of you too! Don't think that once you leave Blue Bay Villa, I can't do anything to you! You're nothing but just a servant. I will make sure you
won't be able to survive in Banyan City! “
Luna waved her hands without turning back. “I look forward to it.“
Then, she entered Blue Bay Villa.
Aura was so furious she stomped her feet in the same spot.
When Luna returned to Blue Bay Villa, it was almost lunchtime. She was supposed to have a last lunch with Joshua, but she did not know where he was.
“Aunty! “
Once she entered, Nellie smiled at her from the dining table. She waved at Luna. “Is everything alright?“
Luna shook her head. “No problem." “That's good! "
Nellie smiled and took some food for Luna. “You have been taking care of me all this while. I want to return the favor."
Nellie blinked her round eyes adorably. “Don't say no to me. I have recently learned how to take care of people."
Then, Nellie picked her little bowl up and carefully fed Luna. Looking at Nellie in a proper caregiver posture, Luna smiled helplessly. “You were watching so many nursing videos just because of this?"
Nellie smiled embarrassingly. “Yes, I did well, right?"
No matter where she stood, Nellie did not want Luna to leave. Seeing how understanding her daughter was, Luna could not help but hug Nellie.
“Nellie." Luna sniffled. Her nose became sore. “You don't have to learn how to take care of others. Just take good care of yourself."
Nellie nodded. She wanted to say something when she saw the person by the door. She stopped moving.
Pursuing My Ex-Wife Isn't Easy chapter 109 online free
Noticing Nellie stopped moving, Luna furrowed her brows and looked at where Nellie was looking.
Standing by the door, Joshua was looking travel-worn.
He seemed to have come back from somewhere far. His smart -looking suit was somewhat wrinkled. His hair was also in a mess.
However, he gave off a charming, mature, manliness.
Luna noticed that he had a small box in his hands. The box was familiar to her, but she could not remember when she had seen them.
“Daddy, where have you been?“
Nellie obediently put down her utensils and ran to the kitchen. She clumsily took a plate of rice out. “ You're back just in time. Let's have a last lunch together.“
Then, Nellie felt that she said something wrong. “ Not the last lunch, the last lunch before Aunty leaves us.“
“Hmm.“
Joshua looked at Luna and put the box down. He roughly let loose of his tie and threw his coat on the rack.
He rolled his sleeves up, carried the box, and walked over.
At that moment, Luna noticed that not only his jacket was wrinkled. Even his white shirt was covered in dust.
It was not any ordinary stain, rather, it was the kind of dust that had been sealed up for a long time.
She furrowed her brows. She wanted to ask him where he went, but she held back.
She was a nobody to him. It has nothing to do with her, where he went.
“Daddy, what is that?“ Nellie furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua carrying the box.
Joshua gently placed it on the coffee table. “This is the dress that you'll be wearing tonight.“
Nellie was confused. “But Aunty has already bought the dress that I'm wearing yesterday.“
When they were out shopping, they even met with her grandmother.
“Previously, I wanted you to dress up a little, but yesterday night, I suddenly thought that you should wear this dress.“
Then, Joshua opened the box. Inside it was a new little girl's dress.
It was a pink dress. The dress was handmade. Every stitch and detail was flawless.
Nellie looked with widened eyes. “Wow! “
It was beautiful! It was so much more beautiful than the few gowns they tried on in the shopping mall the day before!
Nellie was so excited. She wanted to touch the dress but she did not dare to.
“Daddy, where did this come from?“
Seeing her innocent face, Joshua's heart softened.
He lifted his hands and patted her head dotingly. “ Daddy went to Emerald City, where your Mommy used to live.“
Clunk!
Luna dropped her utensils on the floor.
Joshua looked at her, but he did not mind her unusual reaction. “I suddenly remembered that your Mommy and I had once dreamt that we were going to have a daughter before we got married.
“While preparing for the marriage, she drew a sketch and learned how to sew. She made this dress herself.“
Luna sat on her chair, her body stiffened.
No wonder she felt that the box was familiar to her. It was the box that she once used to put the sketches and the dress.
When she got married, she wanted to bring the dress to Blue Bay Villa, but while she was packing, Aura told her that the dress was too cheap-looking. Joshua's children would be regal and elegant. They would never wear such a dress.

“While preparing for the marriage, she drew a sketch and learned how to sew. She made this dress herself.“
Luna sat on her chair, her body stiffened.
No wonder she felt that the box was familiar to her. It was the box that she once used to put the sketches and the dress.
When she got married, she wanted to bring the dress to Blue Bay Villa, but while she was packing, Aura told her that the dress was too cheap-looking. Joshua's children would be regal and elegant. They would never wear such a dress.

“Daddy, Aunty, what are you guys talking about?“
Nellie noticed that Luna and Joshua had been looking at her. She ran over, smiling brighter than the sun.
Joshua glanced at Luna. He raised his hands and patted Nellie's head. “Nothing much. Do you like the dress?“
“I do! “ Nellie's voice was bright as a bell. “Mommy made this herself for me. I love it!“
While moving about, a little ornament on the back of her dress fell off.
Luna furrowed her brows. “Don't simply move about.“
Nellie obediently stopped moving.
Luna picked up the fallen ornament. “Bring me the box.“
“Hmm! “ Nellie ran to get the box over.
“Do I have to take the dress off?“ Nellie asked innocently with a cocked head.
“No need.“ Luna took out the needle and thread from the bottom compartment of the box with ease. “Turn around.“ Nellie obediently did so.
Luna skillfully threaded the needle, placed the
ornament back to its original position, and sewed it up.
After that, she let out a long breath. She checked up on Nellie's dress once more before putting the needle and thread back into the box.
She made this dress a very long time ago. Back then, she had just begun learning how to make this dress. Her method and technique were not good enough yet.
Looking at it at that moment, there were quite a lot of mistakes made on the dress.
She put the box back and lifted her head. She immediately met with Joshua's eyes.
He looked at her. “You seem to be familiar with the box and dress.“
He personally went to Emerald City, to the place where Luna used to live, to search for the box.
Whether it be her place or the box, it was covered in dust. Clearly, no one has been there for a very long time. The box has not been opened by anyone too, yet Luna could accurately locate the needle and thread at the bottom compartment.
This was surprising.
Facing his dangerous-looking gaze, previously Luna perhaps might panic, but at that moment, she calmly smiled.
“I used to work as a tailor. The dress's structure is a simple one. Clearly done by an amateur. It's nothing too challenging. Also, lots of people would put needles and thread in the box out of habit.“
Then, she looked at Joshua. “It's not surprising that I could guess where it was. Mr. Lynch, you, on the other hand. You loved your ex-wife so deeply, how could you not know that she was an amateur? You don't even know her sewing habits.“
Joshua was caught off guard.
He admitted that he never truly cared for Luna Gibson in the past. Joshua's eyes dimmed. “When she made this dress, I was not by her side.“
“Only when she was making this dress?“
No matter what she did back then, he never once accompanied her. Even when she went for the doctor's check-up on her pregnancy, she went alone.
At first, she thought that he was busy, that he was a man who put his career first.
She even kindly let Aura become his secretary, to help him share his workload.
What happened then? They had an affair together.
Luna could even imagine that every time he claimed that he was on a business trip, how happy Aura and he would be having fun.
She was perhaps the most foolish person in the world. “Luna.“
Her constant provocations made Joshua frowned hard. He glared at her coldly. “This is not something you should ask. Don't think that just because it's your last day here, I will allow you to cross the line and invade my privacy.“
Luna paused for a while before sneering, “I'm sorry. I was just casually asking. I didn't expect to hit a sore spot with you, Mr. Lynch.“
She stood up and bowed arrogantly. “I'm sorry, Sir. I won't do it again."
Then, she turned around and went upstairs.
Looking at going up the stairs, Joshua furrowed his brows hard.
This woman was getting more and more arrogant. “Daddy, don't be angry at Aunty." Nellie seemed to have noticed Joshua's fury. She carefully went closer toward him and tugged on the corner of his clothes. “ Aunty is just in a bad mood because she is going to be separated from me. Don't make it hard for her."
