Chapter 737

The air in the office instantly turned deadly silent.

Joshua narrowed his eyes and looked at the woman in front of him with unfeeling eyes. “Luna, you’re the
one who needs my help now.“

He tapped the tabletop lightly with his long fingers. “ You need my help, and yet you proceed to belittle
me, is this how you conduct yourself in society?“

Luna laughed lightly, “I’m just telling the truth. Besides. “ She lifted an eyebrow and glanced at the
document on the table. “I’m cooperating with you as equals. If I really requested your help, I would ask
you to pay for the children’s medical bills directly, wouldn’t I?“

The corners of Joshua’s lips rose in a smile, raised his hand and picked up the document on the table,
then proceeded to read through it seriously. “That’s true. Even though the children are mine too, I already
gave you a villa and paid for all their medical bills up to now…“

As he spoke, he raised his deep, fathomless eyes and glanced at Luna. “That should be enough, right?“

Luna narrowed her eyes slightly and smiled. “Of course it is enough.“ As expected, this was all the
warmth this man had for his children. To think she previously thought that he sincerely loved Neil and
Nellie, and was worried about Nigel. But the truth was, he was still the same cold and heartless man, the
same highly-skilled actor.

A long moment later, they finished reading the contract and proposal that Luna burned the midnight oil to
prepare. Finally, he placed the document on the table with a big, well-defined hand, then raised his eyes
and glanced at Luna. “ Three months to make ten million dollars for the company. Is it too rushed for
you?“

He swept his eyes at her indifferently. “Why don’t we extend the time period to four months?“



“No.“ Luna rejected him directly. “Three months’ time is enough.“ She did not want to stay beside him a
day more than necessary.

“Alright then.“ The man curled his lips, then directly flipped to the last page of the document and signed. “
I’ll be waiting for your good news.“

“Thank you, Mr. Lynch.“ Luna walked over and took a fountain pen from his pen holder, her eyes glazing
over when she saw the pen in her hands.

This fountain pen… She remembered it.

This was the engagement present she gifted him when they just got engaged. Back then, he was all that
she saw, all that filled her mind, she wanted to give him the best. That’s why she bought him this
expensive fountain pen with the prize money from two design competitions that she won. Even though it
was expensive to her, but to him…it was just like any other pen.

Back then, he opened the present directly in front of her and placed it in the pen holder.

Since then, every time she came to his office, her eyes would unconsciously search for the pen. And
every time she saw it, happiness flooded her chest, thinking he still cherished her in his heart. Only later
did she find out…

This pen was always here because he never used it, not even once.

When she questioned him about this, he said he never used things that he did not like. Back then, she
almost burst into tears.

Later, on many occasions, she secretly wanted to throw the pen away, but every time she convinced
herself that even though he did not use it, the continued presence of the pen showed that somehow, she
was still special to him.



All of this happened years ago, but to Luna, it felt as familiar as if it was just yesterday. All those years,
all the silly things that she bent her back to do for him. She wanted to laugh at the thought of them.

However, she never expected that he would keep on his desk a pen that he did not like for so many
years.

Luna curled her lips in a sneer, feeling nothing but irony.
