Chapter 34
“Miss Zimmer.”
Luna winked at Anne, deliberately greeting her as if they were merely acquaintances, “You’re out shopping too?” Anne frowned, just about to speak, when Joshua, who was standing opposite her, glanced at Neil slightly, “We meet again.” In front of Luna, Neil didn’t dare to say anything, and could only smile at him in embarrassment, ” Yes, we meet again.” Anne was shocked and speechless. What was going on?
Luna was so close with someone like Joshua Lynch? And Neil knew Joshua too? She smiled awkwardly, “Well, it looks like everyone knows each other…” “Hello.” Joshua only noticed the woman pushing Neil in the shopping cart, “Are you this child’s mother?” Anne, “???” The child’s mother was right beside him! “She’s not my mother, she is my godmother.”
Neil spoke up and interrupted him, “My mother is busy working part-time and has no time to take care
of me, so I have been living with my godmother recently.” The little boy’s words made Anne swallow back what she was about to say. She coughed slightly, exchanged a few pleasantries with Luna, and then pushed Neil away in a hurry. Joshua kept watching Anne and Neil until they disappeared out of sight before turning around. “How did you meet such a young child?” Luna pushed the shopping cart, faking casual nonchalance. “That kid saved you and Nellie yesterday.” Joshua sighed faintly, “He’s a brilliant and righteous child.” “I see…” Luna breathed a sigh of relief in silence.
She was afraid that Neil would do something out of the ordinary. He made Nellie reunite with Joshua, completely disrupting her plan. If he did it again, she would have a heart attack. “He’s quite pitiful, that kid.” Seeing that Luna seemed to be interested in that child, Joshua continued to speak lightly as he walked, ” He said that his father died when he was born, and he and his mother have depended on each other ever since. I didn’t expect his mother would actually entrust him to a friend, even if she herself was working.“ He didn’t even know why himself, but every time he thought of that little boy, he would be reminded of Nellie. If he and Nellie weren’t reunited, she would have lived a miserable life just like him, right? “He…” Luna’s hand holding the shopping cart tightened slightly, “He said his father is dead?” “Yeah.” Joshua recalled Neil’s answer yesterday, it all made sense. “He said that when he was born, the grass on his father’s grave was already two meters tall.“ Luna, “..” She turned her face away, to prevent him from seeing the flush on her face from holding in her smile, “We’re done shopping, should we go home?” After coming out of the market, Joshua did not take Luna home, instead he took her to the clothing department on the third floor of the mall. “I want to buy some clothes for Nellie.” Luna nodded, raised her feet and walked in the direction of the children’s clothing department. He wanted to please Nellie, of course she had to help, after all, whether it was cooking or buying clothes, Nellie was the one who benefitted in the end. The woman flitted through the mall like a bird, looking all over the place, picking a piece from the left, and another dress from the right. Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
Not only did she clearly know Nellie’s size, she could even clearly state the style that Nellie liked and which suited her.
