Chapter 294

“The report is here with me. Should I still lie to myself about you?“

Alice’s face grew pale as she listened to Joshua’s words. In the end, her face lost all of its colors.

She clutched onto the report as she gnawed on her lip.

She got someone to confiscate all of the electronic equipment in the children’s rooms the night before
she forced them to drink ten bottles of milk.

She wanted to discipline them for disobeying her.

From what she knew, drinking milk would not kill someone. At most, they would be too bloated to move,
but that was it.

Without any recording device, she could retort by saying that the two of them disliked her, so they
colluded to accuse her.

However, she did not expect that six-year-old children’s stomachs would be so weak. Drinking too much
milk would leave signs of harm on their body!

Alice clutched the report and was silent for a very long time.

After a while, she looked up at Joshua’s face and broke out into loud sobs.

“Joshua, let me explain…“ She wiped her tears as she continued to sob, “I’ll admit that I wasn’t a good
mother, but I have my reasons…“

Alice reached out and grabbed Joshua’s sleeve. “I thought that everything would be the same as I
imagined it when I came back this time: You and I, in love, and we’111ive happily ever after with the kids.
But, ever since I came back, everything has changed



Alice looked at Joshua with teary eyes. “You’ve never slept with me before. You’ve never even kissed
me. You always said that you’re busy, that you’re working late, but I’d look for you in your office every
night because I can’t sleep, and you’re not there.

“Previously, when you spent the whole night guarding Luna’s friend’s house, I was watching you from
afar. Also, last night…“

Alice sniffled her nose aggrievedly. “Do you truly think I didn’t know where you were?“

Joshua looked at her, and his gaze slowly softened. Alice was right; he was indeed avoiding some
issues.

“My mind is getting more and more in a daze. I don’t know how things turned into this. You once treated
me so well back then. Because of my mental health, I don’t dare to visit the kids and take care of them.
I’m afraid I might affect them.“

Then, Alice lowered her eyes. “It seems like it already did.“

She turned around and sat next to Nellie with tears in her eyes. “Nellie, I was wrong. Will you forgive

your Mommy? I only treated you this way because I care too much for your Daddy…“

Joshua stood on the spot, looking at her tear-streaked face. His heart broke.

At that point, he did a little too much. Her actions toward the kids were understandable due to her mental
health.

It was all his fault. Joshua took a deep breath and wiped her tears away. “I apologize to you. Try to get
better. I’ll get other people to take care of the children so you don’t have to bother with them.“

Alice wiped her tears. “Okay.“



Although she looked sad, she was elated inside. Did they truly think she was willing to be together with
the two kids? Best if she had nothing to do with them.

She was apprehensive of the children all this while because she feared Joshua would suspect her if
anything were to happen to the children.

At that moment, if they were handed over to someone else and died due to an accident, no one would
blame her!

“Nellie.“ Joshua turned around and gently patted on Nellie’s head. “Talk with your brother what type of
Nanny do you two want.“

Lily would not be able to handle two kids on her own.

Upon his words, Nellie looked up and smiled brightly. “There’s no need for discussion. There is someone
whom Neil would definitely agree to! “

Alice immediately pretended to ask concernedly, “ Who is it? As long as you like it, I’ll make sure your
Daddy— “ “Of course, it’s our Mommy, Luna! “
