Chapter 1984
Joshua furrowed his brows as he walked over to Luna and lowered his head to glance at Shelly.
He had never seen Nellie when she was a baby before, and therefore, he could not understand why Luna appeared so excited at this moment.
He gave the child a once-over and smiled. “She’s as adorable as Nellie.”
“Is that the only thing you have to say about her?” Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something when she caught sight of a crying Bonnie.
All of a sudden, the words got caught in her throat.
She knew how much Bonnie loved this baby, and she could not bring herself to tell Joshua that this child could be theirs right in front of Bonnie.
“I’ll take her.” Bonnie wiped her tears, strode over to Luna, and took the baby from her. Then, she pointed at the table of food in the dining room and glanced at Joshua and Luna, smiling.” You two must be hungry, having been out all day. Why don’t you guys eat with Harvey, June, and Nigel?
“I’ll look after Shelly for now and join you guys after she’s gone to sleep.”
She turned and walked away with the baby in her arms.
Luna remained motionless, watching Bonnie leave, and could not help feeling as though someone had stabbed a knife into her heart.
She dreamed of finding her lost child day and night, but Bonnie, on the other hand…had just gone through an abortion and lost her and Jim’s baby.
To Bonnie, Shelly and Harvey were like gifts from God, especially Shelly.
Even though she was not truly Bonnie’s daughter, she had been raised by Bonnie since birth, and Bonnie treated her as her own.
