Samuel looked sick, and there had to be a reason for that.He looked at Joshua and forced himself to
smile.
"I thought that only your assistant was coming when the butler said Lucas was here.I didn't expect to
see you two."
Joshua smiled and looked at Samuel politely.
"I intended to have him come here and ask you something, but..."
He stayed silent for a while.
"I think that it's quite rude to let my assistant come ask you the thing I want.After talking with Luna, we
decided to come here to show our sincerity."
Samuel sighed as he heard what Joshua had to say.
Joshua was almost the same age as Malcolm, and Malcolm had nearly stolen Joshua's wife from him.
However, his son was not nearly half of Joshua in terms of manner and politeness.He figured it must
have something to be with how his family brought him up.
Joshua and Malcolm were both brought up by their grandmothers and without their parents beside
them.
Joshua had taken after Granny Lynch, making him an elegant, caring, and well- mannered man.
His son, on the contrary...
From his appearance, Malcolm, too, looked kind, soft, and elegant, but selfishness was written all over
his face.
Perhaps this was karma for conspiring and scheming all these years.It was something that Samuel had
been avoiding facing.
This had to be the karma for not telling Charles and Rosalyn that Lucy had lived through the ordeal.
"Uncle Samuel?"
Luna frowned when Samuel was spacing out as he looked at her and Joshua.She waved her hand at
Samuel.
"Are you listening?"
Her voice pulled Samuel back from his thoughts.
Samuel smiled and looked at the couple in front of him.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing."
Joshua turned out to sit on the chair.However, just when he did he noticed a cup of coffee on the table
that was not hot anymore.He squinted at this.
Samuel was a priest, and he had always treated everyone with utmost respect and manner.
Since Joshua and Luna came to him, Joshua did not bother with the fact that Samuel did not have the
maid offer them drinks.
However, there was a cup of coffee that was near cold.
Obviously, the coffee was not prepared for them both.
Joshua squinted.
According to the temperature of the coffee, the guest who was here had not left yet, if Joshua guessed
it right.
He raised his head ADr#]IIM started to look around the living room with his deep, dark eyes.
His instinct told him that it was Malcolm, hiding somewhere.No one else was worth the risk for Samuel,
a priest, to tell a lie.
Finally, after scouting the living room, his eyes focused on the huge angel statue beside the staircase.
The statue was moved from the church after Samuel returned to the mansion.
It was so huge that it was unusual for someone to put it in the house.
Thus, it was easy for a person to hide behind it.
Joshua's eyes narrowed at the statue before he turned to look at Samuel, smiling.
"Uncle Samuel, can I go pray at the statue?"
