The entire atmosphere in the room was so awkward that it bordered on suffocating.
Luna let out a sigh and glanced at Joshua. “I admit that I misunderstood you, but…“ She lifted her head to look at him. “I don’t think it’s entirely my fault. After all, these men were once under you, weren’t they?“
Joshua nodded. “Yes, that’s true, but that’s not what I ‘m talking about, Luna. “ His gaze never wavered from her face. “You’re Neil and Nellie’s adoptive mother. I’m glad that you care so much about them, but you must remember that ultimately, they belong to Alice and me. Therefore, you have no right to say we don’t deserve to be parents.“
Joshua then smirked and continued, “Take this misunderstanding, for example. I wasn’t the one who sent these men over to protect Aura, but even if I did, what gives you and Malcolm the right to target me on behalf of my children?“
Luna froze at that. She felt as though every joint in her body stiffened, and her blood had turned into ice.
Joshua’s words felt like sharp needles that pricked into her heart.
Neil and Nellie were her children. She carried them in her womb for ten months. However, no one knew that, and at that moment, Joshua looked down on her.
“You have no right to say we don’t deserve to be parents.”
He was right. No one knew that Luna was Neil and Nellie’s birth mother. To everyone else, she was just an adoptive mother who had kidnapped someone else’s children. What right did she have to criticize the children’s birth parents?
Luna’s expression darkened, and the blood drained from her face.
Joshua could not help but frown when he saw the disappointment and sorrow on Luna’s face. He sighed and said, ”I know you’re just worried about them, so I’ll let you off the hook for today. However, there won’t be a next time.”
Luna closed her eyes and nodded bitterly.
