“They‘re very smart, so don‘t compare them with regular seven–year–old kids,” added Luna.
A year ago, Nellie, Neil, and Nigel helped her overcome danger and risks while one of them was far away and the other two beside her. From then on, Luna no longer viewed them as ordinary children.
Thus, when Neil requested Joshua to find a quiet place for them to stay, she just asked a question and was not worried. After all, they were smarter and more mature than anyone else. Rosalyn sighed and shook her head faintly. “I‘m still not that close with them yet, so I don‘t know how talented they are.”
“You‘ll know it soon.” Joshua‘s lips curved into a smile as he politely bade Rosalyn and Charles farewell. “I still have things on my plates. I‘ll leave now.”
He did not forget to leave a group of bodyguards to protect Luna, Gwen, Rosalyn, and Charles. “I think Bonnie, Jim, and Harvey won‘t take too long to catch up. All of you could go over an hour later.”
Luna was touched by Joshua‘s attentiveness. “Alright.” Then, she got on her feet and sent Joshua to the door. With her back still turned to Gwen, she muttered under her breath, “You should investigate in detail about Kate.”
She thought Joshua would say the same thing as before, that she thought too much. However, this time, Joshua held her hand softly and nodded. “Don‘t worry.” He squeezed her hand tightly and asked her not to worry. Only then did Joshua let go of her and left.
Luna stood still as waves of emotions rocked her heart when she stared at Joshua‘s back. She was sad and happy at the same time, and it felt like her heart was dangling mid–air.
The good thing was that Joshua finally understood her instinct and her judgment of Kate. The sad thing was… If Joshua believed it too, it meant that her assumption was correct, that there was a problem with Kate.
With those thoughts in her head, Luna suddenly felt pity for Gwen. She wondered if Gwen would feel sad when she found out about this, especially when she trusted Kate so much.
