“Ma’am, let’s head inside and talk.“ Neil noticed how ugly Luna’s expression turned into, thus he approached Natasha and smilingly tugged at her sleeves. “There are a lot of people in our small community, and neighbors will talk. It’ll be better to talk inside! “
Natasha furrowed her brows and wanted to refuse Neil until she had a good look at his face.
That face…
She inexplicably thought of when Luna Gibson was young. This boy’s aura, smell, and those huge starlit eyes were the same as Luna Gibson’s when she was young.
All thoughts flew out the window when Natasha looked at him.
After a while, Natasha sighed and let Neil lead her in.
The house’s exterior was no different than the others. What Natasha did not expect was that the interior, decorated simply and cleanly, had charred walls and ceilings with burnt marks.
Even if it was repainted, it could not fully cover the burnt marks.
Natasha paused for a while. “Your house…“
“Ms. Aura sent someone to burn them down.“ Neil led Natasha to the sofa before he sat opposite her. “My Mommy and Nellie were still here the day the house was set ablaze. If they weren’t rescued in time, they would’ve died.“
Neil’s eyes were huge and sparkling, utterly endearing, but his words stirred Natasha.
“Impossible. Aura is Nellie’s auntie, and she wouldn’t do such things. Someone must’ve tricked you! “
She looked at the black spots in the room once again and confirmed her beliefs. “Impossible.“
“Tea.“ Luna served freshly made tea from the kitchen. “Today is my first day at the Lynch Group. I don’t have much contact with Joshua yet.“
Luna took a deep breath and tried to suppress her emotions. “So, I won’t be able to find out so quickly about Aura.“
