“Luna, I wanted to tell you about this after Thomas comes back, but…” Joshua paused for a while before he continued, “From the looks of it, maybe we can sit by the sidelines and watch for now. If Thomas can handle the matter this time, then we should trust that he has the ability to take care of Yannie and Riley.
“I know that you both aren‘t on the best of terms due to your past conflict, but if he can handle it well this time, maybe we should give him a chance. After all…”
He sighed. “After all, Riley is his daughter. Maybe he and Yannie could give Riley something we can‘t.”
Luna‘s knuckles protruded as she gripped her phone tightly. She understood everything Joshua had said, but..
“Okay,” came Luna‘s simple reply after a deep inhale before she hung up.
She closed her eyes and adjusted her sitting posture to feel more comfortable after putting the phone down.
Her feelings were tumultuous at the moment, and admittedly, she was a little sad.
They finally found Riley‘s parents…but they were not what she imagined.
Originally, Luna had a glimmer of hope. She selfishly thought that if Riley‘s parents were the irresponsible type and could not take good care of Riley, she could keep Riley by her side. With that, she at least had Riley with her if they failed to locate her daughter. She had a solid reason and consolation to continue with her life.
In spite of that, her selfish thoughts and hopes were shattered at this very hour.
Yannie and Thomas were Riley‘s parents.
