“Joshua, I missed you so much.“
In the bedroom back at the villa, Alice closed the door and hugged Joshua tightly from behind.
“All these years out there, a few times, I almost wanted to give up, but at the thought of you and the children… You’re my motivation that kept me alive… Luckily the children and I are back at your side now.“
Her tears soaked through Joshua’s shirt and into his bare back.
His heart felt as if it had been harshly grabbed and squeezed by an invisible hand.
He turned and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry, from now on, I won’t let you suffer anymore.“
“Okay.“ Alice sniffed, “I hope the woman that stole our children… will soon be punished by the law.“
She lay on his chest, her tears falling in rivulets. “ You saw the situation too, Nellie and Neil are both on her side, they don’t even want to acknowledge me as their mother. The sooner she’s convicted, the sooner the children will grow to accept me…“
Joshua frowned.
The hopelessness that was written on her face when she was taken away by the police appeared before his eyes.
His heart skipped a beat.
Then, a moment later, he sighed, “We should take this slow, study the case in detail.“
Somehow, even though there was solid physical evidence, he still felt that Luna had a valid reason behind all these.
Back then, how she saved Nellie and protected Neil, he saw all of it clearly with his own two eyes.
Even though her actions could not compensate for her evil deeds, the children still cared deeply about her.
If he tried to get rid of this issue as fast as possible, he might leave a bad impression on the children.
Alice frowned in displeasure. She lay on his chest. “ But I think the children won’t like me as long as she’s here…“
“You should trust our children.“ Joshua softly ruffled her hair. “Be a good girl.“
She hesitated for a second. “Alright.“
Then, she raised her head and circled her arms around his neck, her eyes gentle. “Joshua, I’ve missed you so much.“
The air was filled with anticipation.
In front of him was the face of the woman he had been missing for six years.
Joshua found it hard to control himself, he leaned down and instinctively tried to kiss her…
But when their lips were two centimeters away from touching, he stopped.
Maybe they had been apart for too long.
In a split second, he found he could not kiss the woman in front of him.

Suddenly, a child’s clear voice rang out from the entrance.
Joshua hurriedly raised his head.
Nellie stood at the entrance, her eyes red and puffy. “I want to sleep with you tonight.“
Alice frowned in displeasure. “Nellie, you’re already six years old. Once a girl grows up, she can’t sleep in the same bed with her Daddy anymore.“
“Who said I’ve grown up, I’m still a kid! “
Then, she glared at Alice harshly. “I insist on sleeping with my Daddy, why are you jealous?“
Joshua chuckled helplessly at the little girl’s words.
He stood up and walked to the door, heaving her into his arms. “Which mother will be jealous of her daughter? Daddy will accompany you tonight.“
Hearing him, Alice bit her lip, piling a pitiful expression on her face. “But Joshua, tonight is our first night together in six years…“
Joshua laughed lightly with Nellie in his arms, “We have all the time we want in the future, tonight we’ll accompany Nellie first. You should get some rest.“
Then, he turned, carrying the little girl in his arms.
Riding in her father’s arms, the little girl turned around and stuck her tongue out at Alice challengingly.
The woman glared at Nellie furiously, then turned and sat on the bed, stewing in anger.
Finally, she managed to approach Joshua, finally,
she became the Mrs. Gibson that he loved with all his heart.
