Chapter 2560 Silence blanketed the atmosphere in the study. Joshua‘s finger trembled as he was flipping the
document. Looking to the side, a small smile was present on his handsome angular face.” Why are you in a hurry?”
He had yet to figure out what Thomas wanted to do.
Two weeks ago, Yannie had brought Thomas‘ nails and hair strands complete with hair follicles to him. The first
thing he did was that he had sent those specimens for the test. A day later, he received results from different DNA
testing centers, and each result stated Thomas was Riley‘s biological father, with a 99.99 % probability of paternity.
Only then did Joshua believe Thomas came to Merchant City because of Riley. Despite that, it shocked Joshua that
Thomas did not visit Riley anymore after the day Kate took photos of Thomas visiting Riley.
Thomas had been very busy, it seemed–with work and making a fool out of Yannie. Sometimes, he would also
cause trouble for Joshua and Luna, too. Other than that, Thomas did nothing else. The number of times Thomas
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtvisited Riley was lesser than Luna, Riley‘s adopted mother, and Yannie, Riley‘s godmother. His men, meanwhile,
were still searching for ‘a woman‘ in the city.
Joshua guessed the woman Thomas was searching for was Riley‘s birth mother. He was curious about what Thomas
would do when he found Riley‘s birth mother. Thus, he did not confront Thomas nor let other people know about
the
relationship between Thomas and Riley all this time. He wanted to unravel whatever plans Thomas had.
“I just think we shouldn‘t wait any longer,” Luna sighed helplessly. She shifted to a more comfortable position and
leaned on Joshua‘s body.
“I promised Gwen that I‘d go traveling with her once she feels better after a week. I‘m planning to bring her to a
couple of places outside of the country. Depending on which place she likes, I‘ll buy her a house for her to settle
down and let her recover there. When she‘s finally all better and ready to move on from Luke, I‘ll tell her then that
Luke has died. Will that be better?”
Originally, Luna thought they should do according to Luke‘s plan Gbsd[(}K announced Luke passed away in Sea City
after Gwen was discharged. However, she could not bear to do it after seeing how hard Gwen cried when she
visited her
in the hospital this evening.
Gwen was allowed to discharge after one week. Based on Gwen‘s feelings toward Luke, Luna did not think it was
appropriate to announce Luke‘s passing right after being discharged. “Okay.” Joshua wrapped an arm around
Luna‘s waist as he then spoke, his voice husky and alluring, “You are Gwen‘s best friend, and you know her situation
more than I do. If she‘s not mentally prepared, then it‘s not the right time to tell her Luke has passed.”
Luna bit her lip and nodded quietly. “If I‘m going to leave with Gwen, I need to handle everything there is, whether
it‘s related to the company or Riley...”
She took a deep breath and looked at Joshua‘s face resolutely. “If Riley‘s father can take good care of Riley, as well
as providing her the care and love she needs, I‘m willing to give him money to help him if he cannot afford to give

Riley the treatment she needs. But...”
Luna paused for a while. “If her father is reluctant to be responsible for her and thinks of Riley as a burden, then I
won‘t give Riley back to him, even if he‘s wealthy.
“Saying all this, I hope I can meet him. If he can be a good father to Riley, it‘ll ease my heart to give Riley back to
him and leave the country with Gwen. If he doesn‘t...”
Luna pursed her lips. “I can make arrangements in advance. Maybe Bonnie, Sean, or even Yannie can help to take
care of Riley.” Joshua curled up his lips into a smile upon hearing what Luna said. He raised his hand and softly
poked the tip of Luna‘s nose. “It‘s very thoughtful of you. But...” He cuddled her and kissed her cheeks. “I need to
make arrangements if you want to meet with Riley‘s father.” He frowned and thought for a while.
