Joshua and Luna both froze as they heard Neil’s confession. Even the teacher who stood behind them
gaped at the sudden turn of events.
Who would have thought something like that would happen? Luna rubbed her brows in exasperation,
thinking to herself, ‘What kind of scheming children did I give birth to? Haven’t I told them countless
times that they shouldn’t eat junk food like this?’
“It’s all my fault, Daddy, “ sulked Nellie. “Class was really boring, and the lunch I had wasn’t yummy at
all. I overheard another kid talking about eating fried chicken with his mommy and daddy, so I wanted
fried chicken too, but…“
Disappointment clouded Nellie’s gaze. “I knew that you wouldn’t let me have fried chicken because it’s
not healthy, so I asked Neil to help…“
The anger on Joshua’s face dissipated. After a moment’s hesitation, he heaved a deep sigh and stared
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtat his daughter. “You’re such a mischievous girl, “ he said in a tender voice.
“This was all just a misunderstanding, Mr. Lynch, “ the teacher shot Joshua a nervous glance. “You’re…
not going to close our school down because of this, right?“
This was the first time this kindergarten had enrolled a student as important as the daughter of the
famous Joshua Lynch. All of the teachers were afraid that something terrible would happen, so as soon
as Nellie injured herself, they immediately panicked and tried to fulfill her every request. It was because
of this that the two children were able to distract the nurse and teachers, ordering fried chicken without
their knowing.
”He won’t, ” Joshua did not respond to the teacher’s question, so Luna piped up instead. She heaved a
sigh of relief and smiled at the teacher and nurse. ” Thanks for your help. Everything’s fine. You guys
can go now.”
The teacher and the nurse both glanced at Joshua apprehensively, but they figured that since Luna
came together with Joshua, she must have meant it when she said everything was fine, so they
nodded and quickly left the room.
After the teachers left, Luna immediately turned around and gave Neil a disapproving glare. ”Neil, what
were you thinking?”
Neil replied meekly, ”Nellie wanted fried chicken… ” He lowered his head dejectedly and added, ”I
wanted fried chicken, too… ”
”You guys can have it, ” Joshua’s low voice rang. He turned around, his gaze skimming across Luna
and landing on Neil. ”The reason why you kids aren’t allowed to have junk food, including fried chicken,
is because they’ re very high in calories. Secondly, the sanitation of outside foods can be questionable.
If you two want to have fried chicken, I ’11 ask the chef to prepare some for you.”
”Okay ! ” Nellie’s face lit up upon hearing her father’s words. ”Daddy, I want… I want Neil and Aunty to
come home with us and have fried chicken, too. Can they?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoshua frowned and gave Luna a cold stare. A smirk played on the corner of his mouth as he replied,
“Of course they can.” He reached his hand out toward Neil. “Come on.”
He had no intention of talking to or interacting with Luna at all.
Neil acknowledged Joshua’s outstretched hand with a scowl and raised his head to give him a haughty
look. Neil still held a grudge against Joshua for losing the evidence of Aura trying to get rid of
Nellie, so he ignored Joshua’s hand and grabbed Luna’s instead.
“The only reason we’re going is Nellie! ” he said to Luna.
Luna’s brow furrowed in response. She had not made up her mind to accept Joshua’s invitation yet, but
she recalled what Nigel had told her earlier that afternoon. The only way she could see Aura in person
was through Joshua.
Luna let out a sigh and grabbed Neil’s hand. She had no choice but to go along with it.
