Chapter 53

Luna did not sleep well that night.

She kept dreaming about all the things that she went through with Joshua. The flutter of her heart
during her first encounter with him, the happiness she felt when they had their wedding photos taken,
the rush of their wedding…
She kept asking Joshua why in her dreams.
Why? Why should her love be completely wiped out like this?
When she woke up, her pillow was wet with tears. Turns out, the pain one suffered in love was not that
easy to let go of even after so many years.

“Mommy.“ Nellie was standing by her bed with a tissue in her hand. She carefully wiped away Luna’s
tears. “Did Daddy make you angry again?“
Luna shut her eyes and hugged Nellie in her arms. Feeling the warmth of Nellie’s body, she suddenly
felt energized once again.
For the past six years, her three children were her motivation to continue living. No matter what, she
would not abandon them.
“Mommy, stop crying.“
Nellie gently patted Luna on her back. She comforted gently, “No matter what, Nigel, Neil, and I will
always be on your side. Don’t be sad.“
Nellie’s comforts touched Luna. She hugged Nellie for a long time until Lucas came knocking on her
door.

“Luna, are you awake?“
Luna furrowed her brows. She pushed Nellie away and opened the door.

“What is it?“ “If you’re awake, can you make some soup for Joshua to sober up?“ Lucas stood by the
door with an embarrassed expression. “He has an important meeting later, but he drank too much last
night. He is still hungover. It’s still early, the other servants are not here yet, so I could only ask you to



do it.“ Luna nodded. “Okay.“ Then, she put on a jacket and headed downstairs. In the kitchen, she put
the ingredients into the pot and boiled it. Then, she started making breakfast for Nellie. Standing at the
entrance of the kitchen, Lucas stood there. He was hesitant to say something.

“Just spit it out, “ Luna said without looking at him while making breakfast.
Lucas looked awkward.
After a while, he lifted his head and looked at Luna’s almost-perfect side profile.
“Yesterday at Ms. Gibson’s house…I lied.“
Luna was chopping vegetables when her hand paused a little.
After a short while, she continued what she was doing. “What did you lie about?“
“The matter yesterday, Ms. Gibson should be the one that planned it.“ Lucas took a deep breath. He
could see that Luna has cried recently.
Taking into account how Luna stormed off at Aura’s house, Lucas guessed that the matter yesterday
must have gotten to her.
Hence, he felt that he owed her an explanation. “I found out that the bank account that was used to
transfer to the spammers’ syndicate was indeed Ms. Gibson’s personal bank account.“
Luna sneered, but she pretended to nonchalantly chop vegetables. “So why did you say it was the
company’s account?“
He did not need to say it explicitly, it must be under Joshua’s instruction.
She understood.
“Ms. Gibson is Joshua’s fiancée.“ Lucas took a deep breath. “She will be the mistress of this house in
the future. There are some things we should keep to ourselves. There is no need to embarrass her in
public. Furthermore, the incident was settled perfectly. No one on the internet is talking about this
anymore.“
Then, he looked at Luna. “Don’t take it to heart. It is only normal for us, as servants, to be aggrieved for
the sake of our masters.“



“Is it so?“ Luna stopped whatever she was doing. She turned off the fire and poured the soup out.
”Just because I am a servant, I am destined to be bullied by Aura and I can’t fight back. Is that it?”
