“She’s your biological mother.“
“She’s not! “
The little girl was so agitated she almost burst into tears. “My Mommy doesn’t look like that, she’s not! “
Joshua frowned again, then turned to throw a glance at the woman in front of her. “Lulu, this…“
The woman closed her eyes helplessly and sighed, “I knew this would happen…“
She took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, looking at Nellie sadly. “After I gave birth to my two children Nellie and Neil, my body became so weak and I never had the chance to nurse myself back to health. Then, once, when I was distracted, someone kidnapped my children…“
As she talked, she wiped at her tears. “She was a jewelry designer, I met her in the hospital. In the beginning, she was great to me, I trusted her completely, but I didn’t expect her to…when she found out you were the father of my children, she kidnapped them…“
As she talked, her despair grew and so did her tears. “ All these years, I hid my identity, changed my name to Alice, and searched everywhere for you and the children. I didn’t dare approach you. I was worried you would blame me for losing the children… Up until a short while ago, I saw you openly
acknowledge our daughter and I was certain that woman had returned the kids to you. That’s why I came here in a rush…“
Then, she knelt down, looking at Nellie with bloodshot eyes. “My girl, come and give Mommy a hug.“
Nellie glared at her vigilantly. “You’re lying! “
Looking at Nellie’s expression that was filled with animosity, the woman wiped at her tears in despair. “ When the two of you were kidnapped, you were still so young, you couldn’t remember anything. I won’t blame you for not recognizing me…“
Joshua stood in his spot, looked at the woman’s despondent face, and a burst of fury surged in his chest.
A jewelry designer. Kidnapped their children. No wonder.
No wonder Luna’s son Neil looked so much like him! No wonder Luna was Nellie’s design teacher!
It turned out, she was the one who kidnapped Nellie and Neil all those years ago!
And, she even stayed by his side on the pretense that she was Luna Gibson’s good friend!
Right when his anger was boiling within him with no apparent outlet, the door to the villa opened.
