But if Joshua pursued Luna, things would be different. Even if Mommy still refused to expose her true identity, the two of them would have a chance to hit it off! With this thought, the little girl reached out her hand carefully and tugged at her father’s sleeve again. “Daddy, just try. I can help you! “
Joshua smiled helplessly, shaking his head. “No.“
“Why not! “
Nellie bit her lip, glaring at him unhappily, “Are you worried you’ll forget you’re just acting and really fall in love with Aunty? So, your love for Mommy is so weak after all! Then I won’t help you persuade Mommy to come back! You yourself don’t believe that you’ll always love her, why would she come back! You’re not even willing to put on an act with Aunty, you don’t really love Mommy after all! You don’t really want me to reunite with her! “
Joshua was quiet. “ ..“
Facing the unreasonable little girl, suddenly, he was at a loss of how to react.
He sighed, pouring himself another glass and emptied it. “I’ll consider it.“
Nellie bit her lip, watching him gulp down the wine, feeling displeased. “Daddy, it’ll work! Trust me! I promise you won’t regret it!“
Looking at her eyes, filled to the brim with bright expectation, Joshua frowned slightly. “Daddy will consider it.“
If she suggested he pursue another woman, one with who he had no relations, and not Luna, maybe he would agree without hesitation. But Luna…
Looking at the woman on the bed who almost drove him crazy a few times, a helpless smile hung on his lips.
He did not trust himself not to fall for her. Very soon, the bottle of wine was empty.
The wine that Nellie brought him was the bottle with the highest alcohol content available at home. No matter how good his tolerance was, after downing it so quickly, he would not be able to withstand its effects. After another three glasses, he could not take it anymore. He massaged his temples, soothing his headache, and leaned on the bay window. “Nellie, is that all?“
