Luna secretly clenched her fists.
Alice mocked her by saying—right at Joseph’s and Natasha’s faces—that her parents barely cared about her, but the couple kept agreeing with her, saying that Luna deserved her parents not liking her.
The scene felt awfully comical and ironic to her.
She took a deep breath, walked past them, and headed straight to her office.
The moment her hand touched the doorknob, Alice laughed a little from behind. “Ms. Luna, are you not joining us? My mom made a lot of good food, and they used to be my favorite. I can’t even finish them! “
Her words were like a sharp knife that stabbed Luna’s heart violently.
Back when she was still Luna Gibson, Natasha and Joseph played favoritism. No matter what, they would always let Aura pick first.
Even meals.
Other than when she was sick, Natasha would rarely make the food she liked when she wanted them.
It was only when Aura could not return from overseas did this husband-and -wife pair realized that they still had another daughter.
Alas, they showered their love and attention to a person who assumed her identity.
Luna took a deep breath and scoffed with her back facing Alice, “Since your parents so thoughtfully prepared the food for you, you should just enjoy it. Don’t let them down.“
She finally turned the doorknob and entered her office.
Alice slightly squinted her eyes as she gazed at Luna’s back and smiled rather smugly. Although Luna might seem calm and collected, her stiffened back sold her out when she spoke.
As she took a bite of her food, Alice turned to grin at Natasha. “Mom, can you bring food to the office more often?“
Natasha was surprised and delighted to hear her request. “Of course! I’m genuinely sorry that I used to only care about Aura and neglected your feelings… I’m really happy that you’re willing to eat the food I make! “
Natasha then walked to Alice and held her in a tight embrace, though it was met with a vague indistinct detest in Alice’s eyes.
After a while, Alice lifted her head and looked at Natasha. “Mom, don’t be too happy just yet. We’ll spend a lot of time together…“
