Chapter 268
Neil rolled his eyes and leaned against the couch lazily. Joshua sighed. “It’s all Luna’s fault. She’s
spoiled you.“
“This has nothing to do with Mommy. Fine, I ‘ll sit properly. “ Neil could not stand hearing anyone talk
bad about his mother, so he immediately sat up. “ Alright. What did you want to talk to me about?“
“Alice is your mother. “ Joshua gave Neil a solemn look. “She’s carried you and Nellie in her womb for
ten months and even suffered a car accident during her pregnancy. Life hasn’t been easy on her. I
know you both have spent a lot of time with Luna and that she raised you, but it doesn’t mean you can
act disrespectfully toward Alice. She’s your birth mother. Both of you are smart kids, so I ‘m sure you
understand why she wasn’t there for you, but now that she’s back, you have to treat her with the
respect she deserves.“
Neil rolled his eyes. Of course, they would respect their mother, but Alice was not their birth mother—
Luna was!
“Answer me,“ insisted Joshua coldly when Neil did not respond.
Neil pursed his lips. “There always has to be an adjustment period, right, Mr. Lynch? I know you want
us to respect Ms. Alice, but we don’t think she cares very much about us. In that case, why should we
respect and care about her?
”She doesn’t let us eat anything outside of our regular meals, and she doesn’t let us eat dinner on time.
Now, she’s teaching us that as children, we should learn to please adults. Let me ask you, Mr. Lynch:
Would you want a mother like that if you’re a kid?”
Joshua’s expression grew wistful upon hearing Neil’s words. He, too, was not a person who liked to be
restricted by rules. When he was younger, he hated being told what to do and being lectured by adults.
Neil and Nellie reminded Joshua so much of himself…
Joshua sighed. ”You’re right. I admit that Alice was wrong there. I’ll talk to her… ”
Neil pursed his lips and replied, ”Sure, go ahead, talk to her. If she learns how to be as good a mother
as my Mommy someday, then we’ll respect her! ”
Neil was very confident that Alice would never be half as good a mother as Luna was. Like Aura, Alice
was just another woman who wanted to take Joshua for herself. To them, Joshua’s children were
obstacles that they had to get rid of.
When Nellie first arrived at Blue Bay Villa, Aura desperately tried to get her killed. She dared to do so
because she thought that Joshua would forgive her easily since she had been with him for so many
years. However, she was proven wrong.
Alice was smart enough not to make the same mistake. She did not dare do anything bad to the two
children and even made a deal with them to release Luna, afraid of being exposed more than anything.
However, Neil knew that as soon as she got the chance, Alice would find a way to get rid of them as
well!
Joshua let out a sneer. He lifted his gaze and shot Neil a cold glance. “Is Luna that amazing of a
mother? You two seem to love her very much.“
“Of course! “ Neil rolled his eyes at him again. “ Mommy is the kindest person in the world! “
“The kindest person in the world, huh…“ Joshua echoed. The memory of Luna leaving the office with Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Theo popped up in his mind, and it made him smirk. “I guess you’re right. The kindest person in the
world would go home with a man she barely knows.“
Joshua’s strange statement made Neil frown. He stared at Joshua with wide eyes. “Stop talking
nonsense! “
“Nonsense?“ Joshua had watched with his own eyes as Luna got into Theo’s car and the vehicle
headed in the direction of Theo’s house. Unless he was hallucinating, there was no way all of that was
fake.
Joshua glanced at the little boy sitting in front of him with an incredulous expression on his face and
smirked. “Don’t you have a phone? If you don’t
believe me, just call her and ask her where she is.“
