Luna, who was cooking, paused. “Joshua‘s out working.” When Luna returned, she had called him and
asked if he was coming home for dinner. It was rare for her to cook dinner, so she had hoped he could
come home to eat dinner with her and the children.
Alas, Joshua said he had already made an appointment to meet a business partner in Dark Night Bar
tonight. Thus, Luna could feel sorry for him for missing out on her delicious food this time. She was not
a person who would disrupt Joshua‘s work arrangement because she wanted him home to have dinner
together.
Despite that, she did not expect to see Yannie here, looking for him. She thought for a while and
walked to the door while taking off her apron.
“Why don‘t I call him and ask him to come back now?”
Yannie shook her head immediately.
“No, it‘s fine. It‘s the same as telling you, too.” Luna and Joshua were a married couple, and they loved
each other very much. Yannie trusted Luna to relay every single word she said to Joshua. She did not
want to bother Joshua from work because of her and Thomas. Luna nodded and started to record with
her phone while leading Yannie to sit on the sofa.
Yannie took a deep breath.
“Luna, I know for a fact that you and Joshua don‘t have a good impression of Thomas…but there‘s a
reason why Thomas did what he did.”
She looked at Luna and slowly told her about what Thomas said regarding his and Joshua‘s mother
without leaving any parts behind. She even told Luna how Thomas said Luna and Joshua deliberately
took Riley to be their own daughter after Joshua and Luna‘s baby died during birth.
All the while, Luna sat quietly and listened. In the end, she raised her head and looked at Yannie. “Hey,
Yannie, do you still not know about…your baby?”
Yannie, who was talking about Riley with Luna, was caught off guard by the question. “My baby?”
Her baby was dead right after she gave birth three months ago, and she struggled for a whole few
months to get past it. She did not know why Luna would suddenly mention this.
“Yes.” Luna looked at Yannie‘s puzzled look. She took a deep breath said solemnly,” Yannie, Riley…is
your daughter.” Clank!
The glass in Yannie‘s hand fell to the floor and shattered, the glass–shattering sound snapping Yannie
awake. She hurriedly scrambled to squat and clean the mess, apologizing as she did, when Luna
stopped her. Luna called for the maid to clean up the mess and dragged Yannie back to the sofa.
“Yannie, I know it must be hard for you to accept this, but…Riley is really yours and Thomas‘ daughter.
My daughter was kidnapped on the day she was born, but the people who kidnapped her got stopped
by another group of people. So…the person who kidnapped my daughter was afraid that he couldn‘t
accomplish his task, so he went to the hospital and took another baby.
“He took the child from the same hospital you gave birth to, Yannie. That child…is Riley.” She took out
a DNA paternity report from the bag behind her. “This is the result of the test 1 got today. Riley is your
daughter.” The news was like a bomb that exploded in Yannie‘s brain.
‘How could… How could that be? Riley is my and Thomas‘ daughter?‘ She bit her lip. The scene where
Riley smiled at her when she and Thomas visited Riley appeared before her eyes..
