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'll lose 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.
Lucas, who was standing behind Joshua, looked at Neil in shock. "Is...that how a six-year-old should be?" 3
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?" 1
"There's no rush."
"Hmm."
Joshua's eyes remained closed as he smiled coldly. "If you were in her shoes, what would you do?" 1
"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.
