Joshua sneered.
“No matter how young she looks, she’s still a mother of a six-year-old. How is she a good match with a nineteen-year-old man?“
Fiona bit her lip. She suddenly did not know what to say.
After a long while, she took a deep breath. “Joshua, just treat it as if I’m not good with words. You’re right —they’re not a good match. Even if they are, we shouldn’t help them. Even if they get together, we have to split them up. Otherwise, I’m sure you’ll be uncomfortable looking at them being together.“
Joshua tensed up a little.
He shifted his gaze to look at the scenery that flew past outside the window instead.
“I won’t be uncomfortable. This topic ends here.“
Fiona bit her lip. She wanted to say something else, but she stopped when she saw how darkened Joshua’s expression was.
She lowered her head. A hint of maliciousness flashed across her eyes.
Joshua kept saying that he did not care, but was that true?
Why was he so worked up over things like Luna and Christian being a good match if he truly did not care? At the hospital.
After the doctor cleaned Luna’s wounds, Luna finally found her strength and could walk on her own.
Looking at how late it was, she called a taxi, wanting to be sent home.
“To Blue Bay Villa.“
Christian chuckled a little as he opened the door and sat next to her in the taxi.
“Why are you going to Blue Bay Villa? Driver, to the nearest mall, please.“
Luna furrowed her brows and looked at Christian. “ Why are we going to the mall?“
Christian smiled and gracefully placed his hand on the car door. He calmly sized Luna’s wretched and dirty clothes.
“Are you sure your kids won’t know that you were beaten up if you go back home like this?“
Luna lowered her eyes and looked at her clothes.
He had a point. Her clothes were dirty and torn due to the scuffle at the seafood market a moment ago.
If she were to head home in such a state, Nigel and Nellie would immediately notice it.
“Also, have you forgotten that you’ve thrown all the things you bought at others? What are you planning to feed your kids tonight? Air?“
Luna was silent for a moment. She lifted her gaze and looked at the driver. “Driver, to the mall, please.“
When they were in the mall, Christian and Luna split up.
Luna went to the clothes department while Christian headed to where the food was and planned to buy some good ones for Nigel and Nellie.
It was a peak period where everyone had just finished work. The mall was bustling with people.
Luna took a long time before she could find a shop with not too many people.
To cover the bruises on her, she searched for a long time before finding suitable clothes.
When she was changing in the dressing room, she heard someone on the phone in the dressing room next to hers.
“Yes, it’s me. I ‘m Marianne Collins. I’m in Banyan City. Can you help me find a job? Are you talking about the previous one? Ms. Blake? She’s terrible and ungrateful! I did everything she wanted. I obeyed her instructions to argue with the people that she hated and blow things up, yet in the end, she fired me. She even owed me a month’s worth of salary!
“She even said things like how she didn’t want a person of poor character like me by her side, but I did all those things on her instructions! Yes, I do have something on her. She’s not that sick, to be honest. I’ve been taking care of her daily. How can I not know?
“What use is there? She has huge backup support right now. I’m just a lowly maid and nanny. How could I go up against her? Forget about it. Help me look for a new job.”
The woman next door sounded angry and aggrieved.
Luna was stunned for a while before coining to her senses. Was the person on the call next door not Mrs. Collins, who had a conflict with her and her company mates at the hospital the day before?
