Chapter 247
Standing in the cold wind, Luna stared as the three members of the Gibson family climbed into their car and drove away.
Since they were children, their parents’ love was focused solely on Aura. She did not get a single bit of it.
“Luna! “
When she was stuck in her daze, Anne had already rushed toward her.
“Are you okay?“ “I’m fine.“
Anne hooked an arm through hers intimately and said, “Come on, we’ll go to my house for soup! “
The three of them boarded John’s car. On the way, Anne chattered non-stop about the coincidence that day.
That day, because of Luna’s pregnancy tests, a misunderstanding was caused between Anne and John, and that later led to his promotion.
Luna looked outside the window, the scene from that day appearing in front of her eyes. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
The night before, she and Joshua had slept together for the first time in six years.
But sadly, she did not get pregnant. A surge of sadness gushed in her chest.
Now that this new unknown ‘Luna Gibson’ had appeared, it would be almost impossible for her to get pregnant with Joshua’s child again.
Not too long later, they reached Anne’s home.
John helped Anne set up the pot for the soup then shrugged on his jacket and left. “I won’t be in the way of you two best friends reconnecting.“
When the sounds of his footsteps disappeared at the end of the hallway, Anne heaved a sigh of relief, clutching Luna’s hand in grief and said, “I was almost shocked to death when Neil called me and told me you were at the police station! What happened, why would your doppelgänger suddenly appear?“
“Someone has her eyes on the position as Mrs. Lynch.“
Luna sighed and told Anne about everything that happened recently.
“Oh my god, how could something like this happen?“
Anne’s heart ached uncontrollably. “Neil said he can take care of the situation over there at Blue Bay Villa, you don’t have to worry about him and Nellie. You should stay here with me for now.“
“Thank you.“ Luna raised her wine glass and emptied it.
Anne could tell she was in a bad mood, but she did not know how to comfort her, all she could do was match her glass for glass.
Then, she became drunk.
Leaning on Anne’s shoulder, Luna’s tears soaked through her clothes.
“I just want to save Nigel, to give my children and myself a good life, why is it so difficult? Why can’t I make Aura and Joshua pay for their actions?“
Anne hugged her tightly, “Everything will be alright.“
She comforted Luna all the way till midnight. Finally, Luna fell asleep.
She switched off the lights in the room and tidied up the mess on the coffee table.
However, when she went downstairs to throw out the trash, she ran into Joshua.
He stood beside his car smoking and did not notice Anne’s appearance.
She hesitated for a second, but mustered her courage and approached him.
“Mr. Lynch?“
The man turned around, saw it was her and took a drag off his cigarette elegantly.
“You’re still awake? “ Anne glanced at the cigarette butts at his feet. There were more than ten of them, a t least.
“Mr. Lynch, your beloved wife is back, shouldn’t you be in her arms at home right now? Why are you here?“
Joshua paused and smiled. “I can’t sleep.“
The woman he had been missing for six whole years was finally back, like what Anne described, he thought he would be sleeping peacefully with his wife in his arms.
But somehow, he just could not fall asleep.
His love for her had been carved into his heart and his bones throughout the past six years, but whenever he wanted to get intimate with Alice, his body rejected it instinctively.
What’s more, when he was hugging Alice, he would think of Luna.
Tonight he tried for a long time and yet he still could not fall asleep with Luna Gibson in his arms like he used to six years ago.
Finally, he had no choice but to leave the house with work as an excuse and left her alone at home.
Unconsciously, he arrived here.
He threw the cigarette butt onto the floor and crushed it with his foot. “Where’s Luna?“
When she left the prison tonight, he was watching from afar as she boarded John’s car.
