Chapter 97
Neil looked at Joshua seriously. “I hope you won’t disappoint me then, Mr. Lynch.“
Neil took out his phone determinedly and deleted the evidence saved on the cloud storage. He was taking a bet. He was gambling that Joshua would get rid of Aura for Nellie and for his Mommy. The things he saw on Joshua’s computer the last time had troubled him, too. Perhaps, this time, he could see for himself whether Joshua truly loved Luna or was just lying to himself.
Seeing Neil deleting the evidence, Joshua smiled faintly. “You truly trust me, huh?“ Neil looked at Joshua craftily. “Are you saying that you’re not a person worthy of trust, Mr. Lynch?“ “I ‘m just curious. If I was lying to you just now and I’m not going to do anything against Aura, what would you do?“ Neil picked up his fruit juice and took a sip. “If that’s the case, I believe that you’111ose a lot of things, Mr. Lynch.“ Neil put the empty cup down and jumped down from the chair. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll leave now.“ Then, Neil turned around and waved his hands with his back facing Joshua. He strode off without looking back. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Lucas, who was standing behind Joshua, looked at Neil in shock. “Is…that how a six-year-old should be?“ He felt that this child was much more mature than him. It was terrifying. At the thought that this child was Luna’s son, Lucas also found Luna terrifying.
Joshua gently picked his cup of coffee and took a sip. “I was pretty much like him when I was six.“ Lucas was speechless. It was true that smart people are all the same, and dumb people have their own dumb ways. Lucas took a deep breath and looked at the tablet on the table. “Should I take this to the police station?“ “There’s no rush.“ Joshua picked the tablet up and looked at the evidence closely. “Just
watch out for Aura. We won’t do anything to her for the time being.“ Lucas was stunned. “We’re not going to do anything?“
Lucas had always been siding with Aura because she has been Joshua’s fiancée for almost five years. However, at that moment, the evidence was right in front of him. Aura nearly killed Nellie twice. Even with all that, Joshua could say he was not going to do anything? “What? You have something to say about that?“ “N-No…“ Lucas hesitated for a while. In the end, he could no longer hold back. “But, Sir, Ms. Gibson has done awful things. If you’re not going to do anything to her, aren’t you…indulging her?“ Joshua shut his eyes. He tapped his fingers on the table. “What Luna said previously made sense. If Luna Gibson could send Nellie back yet she wouldn’t want to see me, it must be because I’ve hurt her too deeply previously.“ “But, if you keep giving in to Ms. Gibson and not endangering Nellie’s life, wouldn’t she be even more disappointed?“ “Hmm.“ Joshua’s eyes remained closed as he smiled coldly. “I f you were in her shoes, what would you do?“ “I’ll take Nellie away,“ Lucas replied firmly. Joshua opened his eyes and swept Lucas a glance. “ Correct.“ He got up. “We need to enhance our security. Get people to watch out for Aura and…protect Nellie.“ Then, Joshua strode out of the cafe. Lucas was rooted at his spot, perplexed. What on earth was his boss trying to get at? Luna did not know what ways Nigel used to comfort Nellie, but the past two days, when Nellie visited her, she no longer cried nor threw tantrums. She would even tell Luna that she would take good care of herself. Nellie’s sudden growth and maturity made Luna feel empty. Since Nellie’s problem was settled, it was time for her to deal with Aura.
