Joshua stopped in his tracks and chided, “Just because I’m sticking up for Luna, you think I’ve fallen for her?“ He curled his lips into a contemptuous smirk and added, “How about you, Dad? You’re very protective of Hailey as well. Does that mean you’re in love with her?“
Adrian grew furious the moment he heard Joshua’s words. He slammed his fists against the table and roared, “How dare you even say that, Joshua? I’ve been friends with Dennis for such a long time now. Hailey is like a daughter to me! Besides, she’s dead now—how dare you even say such disrespectful things?“
Joshua chuckled. “No one is certain whether she’s truly dead or not, but…“ He turned around and glanced at Adrian. “I learned this from you, Dad.“
Adrian was so enraged that he began struggling to breathe. “You b*stard! How dare you even talk to your father like this?“
“If I’m a b*stard, what are you, Master Lynch?“ snapped Joshua before he turned and left the room, slamming the door behind him.
Adrian flipped the table over in a fury, not caring that he had spilled the food.
Swan Lake Residences.
Luna sat on the sofa as she drew some sketches on her easel while listening to her three children chatter through her earpiece.
”The food that Lily cooked for us tonight was delicious ! Although her cooking isn’t as good as Mommy’s, it wasn’t bad at all ! ” chirped Nellie in a childish voice as if giving Luna a brief recap of her day. ”Much better than what Alice made.”
Neil snickered. ”I think even I ‘in better at cooking than Alice is. ” Then, suddenly, he seemed to recall something and added, ”Nigel, do you know that Lily taught me how to cook a few new dishes? I ’11 make them for you as soon as you get better.”
As soon as Neil said this, Luna heard Nigel’s chuckle ring out from the other end. ”Why do you have to wait until I get better?”
Neil giggled. ”I’m scared my cooking might make your condition get worse.”
