The woman’s airy voice carried her words straight into Joshua’s ears.
His eyebrows screwed together tightly.
In the house, Nellie quietly sneaked a glance at the clock.
20 minutes had passed since she sent the photos to her father.
No matter how far away he was, he shou1d’ve been here by now!
So the little girl pursed her lips, lifted her phone discreetly and sent another message to Joshua.
“Daddy, where are you?“
The notification ping from his phone rang loudly in the hallway outside.
The few people eating inside stiffened immediately. The sound… came from right outside their door!
Neil was the first to react, jumping down from his chair and walking to the door, opening it.
“Mr. Lynch?“
The little guy looked at the man at the door with confused eyes, then suddenly turned and looked at Nellie, as if remembering something.
The little girl realized her actions had been seen through and bowed her head in shame.
Theo turned and looked at the man standing in the entrance, his eyes displaying a hint of shock but predominantly disdain.
The walls in the apartment building were fairly thin.
Joshua was standing right outside; they could even clearly hear the ringtone from his phone.
Then their conversation…
Judging from his darkened expression, he seemed to have overheard everything.
At the thought of this, Theo’s lips curled up in a slight smile. “Mr. Lynch, you’re here? You came just in time, we’re having dinner now, would you care to join us?“
His enthusiasm made it seem like he was the head of the family instead of Joshua.
Joshua’s expression darkened like an impending storm.
He raised his deep, bottomless eyes and glanced at Luna coldly.
