There was a hint of a smile in Christian’s voice as he said, “We’ve met before. I’m Joshua’s nephew.“
Shannon sneaked a look at the man next to her, who at this moment had an expression as cold as ice.
“Um, where’s Luna?“
“She’s in the shower,“ Christian replied impassively, “if you have anything to tell her, you can just say it to
me.“
The atmosphere in the office seemed to drop a few degrees colder.
Shannon felt her breath catch in her throat. “Well…I wanted to bring a friend to the party tonight, but I
wanted to ask Luna’s permission first.“
“Of course you can.“ Christian furrowed his brows. “ By all means, bring an extra guest if you’d like. I ‘ll
let her know when she comes out of the shower.“
Shannon nodded. “Alright, then…thank you! “
With that, she quickly hung up, afraid that Joshua would toss the phone out the window in anger.
“President Lynch…“
The atmosphere in the office was so cold that Shannon felt she would freeze over at any moment. She
stood up timidly and said, “I ‘ll…I’ll be off now.“
With that, she slipped out of the room without even waiting for Joshua’s response.
Joshua sat on his chair, his gaze fixated on his office door.
Christian…
Blue Bay Villa.
When Luna came out of the shower, Christian was already in the kitchen, preparing the food.
Nigel and Nellie wanted to help, too, but were chased out of the kitchen by Christian. “Don’t come in and
cause me trouble since you don’t know anything.
Children shouldn’t be in dangerous places like this. Go off and play on your own! “
Nellie was so frustrated at Christian’s attitude that she snapped, her hands on her waist. “Just because
you know how to cook a little, that doesn’t make you better than us! You’re already nineteen! Neil is only
six, but he’s already a great cook! If he were here today, you wouldn’t be behaving like this at all! “
Christian furrowed his brows, not knowing how to explain everything to Nellie.
Finally, he let out an exhale and gently stroked Nellie’s hair. “Alright, alright. It’s such a jolly occasion
today, so please don’t bring up bad news like this.“
Nellie frowned upon hearing this. “What do you mean, bad news? Is bringing Neil up bad news? I’ve told
you; Neil isn’t dead at all! Everyone just thinks he is! “
Luna, who at this moment was standing on the stairs, watched the determined look on Nellie’s face as
she defended her brother’s death and could not
help but feel comforted.
She used to think that Neil was dead as well, but now Every time she saw how sure Nigel and Nellie
were that Neil was still alive, Luna could not help but feel a surge of warmth spread through her body.
After tonight’s party, she would tell them the truth about Neil, and all of them would work together to track
Neil down and restore his memory!
Christian knew it was no use arguing with Nellie, so he lifted his head to shoot Luna a helpless look. “
Please discipline your daughter…“
Luna curled her lips into a smile. “She didn’t do anything wrong.“
With that, she strode into the kitchen and put on her apron while instructing Lily to take Nigel and Nellie
into the yard to play.
Christian helped her as she prepared the rest of the supplies. “Oh, by the way, Shannon called just now
and said she wanted to bring a friend to our party tonight. I told her it was fine.“
Luna murmured in approval. She did not invite many people tonight, so it was no harm having an extra
person there.
Although…
She furrowed her brows and asked, “Did Shannon say anything about her friend? Is it her boyfriend? “
Christian mulled over this for a moment before replying, “I guess so.“
Luna nodded. ”Alright, then let’s prepare a couple’s seat and a couple’s meal for the two of them.”
