Luna’s anger still sizzled in the pit of her stomach as she stepped out of the taxi. It was by chance that she saw Neil sitting near the flower bed at the entrance to their housing area, seemingly talking on the phone.
She frowned and approached him. “Why aren’t you home?“
The little boy shrugged. “Godmother and her boyfriend are acting all sweet and lovey-dovey. I don’t want to be the third wheel.“
With that, he glanced at Luna silently. “Mommy, do you want to go upstairs and be the third wheel?“
Luna was mum for a moment before she cleared her throat. “How long have they been up there?“
“Around half an hour.“
Neil sighed. “Mommy, do you think we can still spend the night at Godmother’s house tonight? I saw her crying in her boyfriend’s arms just now, and both of them were laughing and crying.“
He switched to a more comfortable position and swung his short little legs in the air. “Are dating adults so emotional?“
Luna rolled her eyes at him. “You won’t understand.“
Anne and John had just gotten together and they almost broke up, but the misunderstanding was solved. Dating couples were more emotional, and Luna could understand that.
Alas… Luna was reminded of her own situation.
When she was with Joshua, she never experienced such drastic emotional changes like this. They never argued.
More accurately, he found it below him to argue with her.
He would retract his claws and follow her opinion when he was in a good mood, but would leave her in the large, empty house to reflect on her mistakes when he brooded.
“I genuinely don’t understand the emotions of dating adults,“ Neil sighed. “I’m tired, though. I really am, Mommy. I still have to attend kindergarten tomorrow with that group of childish little kids.
“It’s almost nine at night now. I have to have at least eight hours of quality sleep every night! “
Luna rubbed the spot between her eyebrows helplessly.
(Sources from Aura Gibson’s agency states that after the engagement was canceled, Aura didn’t allow her spirits to fall but instead tried her best to build a new path for herself. At the moment, she’s enrolled in an Australian university, studying to become a director Luna tightened her hands that were wrapped around the handle of her shopping cart, her knuckles turning white.
Joshua…sent Aura to study overseas in Australia? No doubt about it then—he truly adored her.
Even if she made such a dreadful mistake, even if she almost killed his daughter a few times, he could still forgive her, even willingly paying to send her abroad to study.
Luna did not know, however, was how Aura slammed her fists furiously against metal doors of the psychiatric hospital.
“Let me out! I’m not sick! “
In the burnt-down apartment, Luna and Neil spent much time tidying up the place, and it was l0 p.m. when they were done.
When the clock rang signaling it was lopm, Neil immediately climbed into bed. “Mommy, I’m going to sleep now! “
Luna, who was still busy cleaning the living room, smiled, stretched, and climbed into bed as well.
