“Slap — —!“
Before everyone could react, the sound of a loud slap echoed throughout the living room.
Luna’s head was knocked to the side from the impact, the sweet, iron-like taste of blood filled her mouth, and blood dripped down the corners of her lips.
“Mommy! “ “Mommy ——!“
Sitting on both sides of the old lady, the two children instinctively jumped up from the couch and flew to Luna’s side.
One of them held her hand carefully, stepping in front of her, trying to protect her, while the other calmly took some tissues from the table beside them and handed them to Luna.
The sight of the two children protecting her made Joshua frown. Beside him, Alice snorted deep down in her chest, but on the surface, worry filled her expression, “Neil, quick, bring your sister here.“ Then, she glanced at the little gentleman who was handing Luna tissues.
“This is between your Grandpa and Aunty Luna. It’s a matter for adults, don’t poke your nose where it doesn’t belong.“
Neil glared at her coldly, then suddenly turned and started taking care of their mother together with Nellie.
Then, Alice acted like a calm, level-headed adult and said, “Adrian, what are you doing, you scared the children.“
Adrian snorted coldly, “What am I doing? Doesn’t she know what she did?“
Luna took the tissues Neil offered her and wiped the blood from the corners of her lips, smiling coldly as she said, “Master Lynch, you’re an old man, and yet the way you vent your emotions is by hitting a woman? This is the first time I’m experiencing something like this! “
Adrian’s face was filled with fury. “Do you know why I slapped you?“
