Chapter 1104

The atmosphere in the garden seemed to drop several degrees colder.

Two people were standing at the garden entrance. One of them was Shannon wearing a long dress and
a nervous expression, while the other…

Was Joshua, dressed in a grey trench coat and a cold scowl on his face.

Luke, who at this moment was seated, gave Joshua a once-over. It turned out he had decided to come
after all.

Joshua had even gotten out of his usual black suit and instead put on a trench coat to match Luna’s
party theme.

However, he did not arrive at the right time.

John immediately grabbed hold of Anne, who at this moment was standing frozen next to Luna, and led
her back to their seats.

“I guess I came at the wrong time,“ Joshua sneered, then sauntered slowly in their direction.

Luna remained motionless and furrowed her brows as soon as she saw Joshua making his way towards
them.

Was this the friend that Shannon had wanted to bring along?

The entire garden had pin-drop silence.

Finally, Nellie stood up and beamed at Joshua. “How can you possibly arrive at the wrong time, Daddy?
As long as you’re here, any time is the right time! ”



The steely look in Joshua’s eyes dissipated as soon as he met Nellie’s bright smile. He curled his lips
into a small smile and walked over to her, then sat down in a chair with Nellie in his lap. ”I’m just here to
see my son and daughter and grab a bite if I can. Please go on, everyone, and don’t let my arrival spoil
the joyous interaction between Ms. Luna and Mr. Moore.”

Luna’s expression darkened upon hearing this.

Likewise, Christian’s face blushed a deep shade of purple. ”Uncle Joshua, I… ”

”I remember. ” Joshua curled his lips into a smirk, picked up a fork, and speared a piece of cake for
Nellie. ”You must be going back abroad soon, right, Mr. Moore? If you two establish a relationship now,
are you planning to have a long-distance relationship?”

With that, he lif ted his head to glance at Luna’s pale face. ”You’re getting younger and younger, Ms.
Luna. You’re even dating nineteen -year – olds now, and long- distance, no less. What a great way to
keep up with the times.”

Luna clenched her fists. She suppressed the anger in her heart and lifted her head to stare at Joshua. ”
Since you’re attending my party as Shannon’s plus- one, Mr. Lynch, you should know that you shouldn’t
be a wet blanket. However, you’re saying things like this as soon as you arrive and don’t even have the
courtesy to wait until our meal is served. Aren’t you being a little rude?”

“Rude?” Joshua fixated his frosty, penetrating gaze on Luna’s face. “You and I escaped death just a few
days ago, Ms. Luna. When we were on the cliff, you held onto my hand and said that you wouldn’t let go
no matter what and that you wouldn’t let me die. At that time, I thought you were in love with me.

“When you passed out, I stayed by your bedside and took care of you for two days, but now that you’ve
awakened, you decided to host a celebration party and didn’t even think of inviting me.

“Who do you think is being rude, Luna?”
