The sun had set.
When Luna returned to Joshua’s house, Joshua was on the sofa hugging Nellie, looking at her latest
design.
Nellie was dressed in a white billowy dress, fit for a royal, and had a huge bow on her head with her
hair slightly curled. She was nestled in Joshua’s arms, smiling. “Daddy, what do you think of my
design? Will Mommy like it?”
“She will.”
Joshua looked at Nellie’s designs seriously while smiling and ruffling her head gently. “Your Mommy will
like anything you make.”
Nellie pursed her lips. “Daddy, you’re brushing me off! You think it doesn’t look nice!”
Joshua smiled a little. “I am not.”
“You are!” Nellie puffed her cheeks.
Neil, who was by the side, helplessly looked at his father and sister bickering before looking at Nigel,
who had his head buried in a book. In the end, he pushed his drink to Nellie. “I’m sure you’re thirsty
after quarreling with Daddy, right? Drink up.”
Nellie pouted. She took the drink and looked at Neil unhappily. “You must think I’m noisy.”
Neil smiled. “I don’t.”
“You do!” Nellie pursed her lips. She was about to have another go at Neil, just like how she did to
Joshua previously.
Joshua leaned back on the sofa. He looked at Neil and Nellie before helplessly looking at Nigel, who
was reading
It was a coincidence that Nigel was looking at him too. Their eyes met and they smiled at the same
time. Then, they looked away. Nigel continued reading while Joshua continued admiring Nellie’s design
sketches.
In the middle of the sofa, Nellie and Neil were bickering on and off. Nellie was making a fuss and Neil
was accompanying her. Luna stood by the door, looking at the scene unfold, and the sadness she felt
for Riley and Yannie leaving instantly dissipated.
She looked at the three children and Joshua. These were the people closest to her, the ones that she
missed the most. As long as they remained with her, what more could she want?
Everyone wanted to feel blissful. Perhaps, that was what she was feeling at that moment.
She stood by the door, watching for a long time until her phone rang. The sudden ring attracted the
gaze of Joshua and the children in the living area.
