Chapter 1984 Joshua furrowed his brows as he walked over to Luna and lowered his head to glance at Shelly.
He had never seen Nellie when she was a baby before, and therefore, he could not understand why Luna appeared so excited at this moment.
He gave the child a once-over and smiled. “She’s as adorable as Nellie.”
“Is that the only thing you have to say about her?” Luna furrowed her brows and was about to say something when she caught sight of a crying Bonnie.
All of a sudden, the words got caught in her throat.
She knew how much Bonnie loved this baby, and she could not bring herself to tell Joshua that this child could be theirs right in front of Bonnie.
“I’ll take her.” Bonnie wiped her tears, strode over to Luna, and took the baby from her. Then, she pointed at the table of food in the dining room and glanced at Joshua and Luna, smiling.” You two must be hungry, having been out all day. Why don’t you guys eat with Harvey, June, and Nigel?
“I’ll look after Shelly for now and join you guys after she’s gone to sleep.”
She turned and walked away with the baby in her arms.
Luna remained motionless, watching Bonnie leave, and could not help feeling as though someone had stabbed a knife into her heart.
She dreamed of finding her lost child day and night, but Bonnie, on the other hand…had just gone through an abortion and lost her and Jim’s baby.
To Bonnie, Shelly and Harvey were like gifts from God, especially Shelly.
Even though she was not truly Bonnie’s daughter, she had been raised by Bonnie since birth, and Bonnie treated her as her own.
Luna closed her eyes and clenched her fists next to her.
Seeing that neither Luna, Joshua, or Sean had said a word, Theo had no choice but to sigh and beckon everyone over to the dining table while he plopped into a chair. “Come on, let’s eat now. Aren’t you all hungry? It’s already past dinner time now, and we have three guests joining us today, so let’s eat!”
Nigel put down his laptop, took off his coat, and corrected Theo earnestly, “Uncle Theo, this is my Daddy’s house, so to be specific, this is my house too. I shouldn’t be welcomed as a guest here.”
Theo paused for a moment, then burst into laughter upon hearing this. “You’re right; you’re the boss here.”
Nigel chuckled, beckoned Harvey and June over to the table, and then strode to Joshua and Luna. “Sir, Ma’am, the host has invited you to join us for dinner.”
Luna finally snapped out of her stupor and followed him to the table.
During the meal, she could not help recalling all the information she knew about Shelly.
This girl had appeared the next day after she lost her daughter, or so she thought.
At that time, Jim had just claimed that Shelly was his daughter but refused to reveal any more information about Shelly’s mother.
Every time Luna inquired him about this, he would tell her that this information was restricted, and even if Bonnie demanded to know the answer and accused him of cheating on her, he would still keep his mouth shut.
“The only thing I can say is that this information is strictly forbidden.”
At that time, Luna had even secretly looked down on her brother, thinking that he was not as loyal and faithful as he claimed to be.
At this point, however…
She could not help wondering about the actual reason why Jim refused to tell anyone the true identity of Shelly’s mother.
