Chapter 2269
Seeing how Luna hesitated, Nellie quickly got on her feet from behind.
“Uncle Theo. I promise that I’ll help you get Aunt Rachel back!”
Nigel, too, joined in as he closed his laptop and said, “I can help too, when you need me.”
As they finished expressing their willingness to help, Nellie looked back at her eldest brother unconsciously. They made eye contact, and both of them could see helplessness appearing in their eyes.
They had eaten the blueberry cheesecake baked by Neil himself last night. Ever since Neil lost his memory a year ago, he started to develop an interest in cooking. Very often, one would find him meddling in the kitchen and trying new recipes. After a year, he was already capable of cooking delicious, tasty food that was serviced by restaurants.
Since Nigel and Nellie understood there was no free lunch available in this world, they were willing to adhere to Neil’s wishes.
Luna sighed and looked at Theo remotely upon noticing both Nellie and Nigel offering to help.
“Theo, you should know that I’m quite reluctant to help you.” Theo’s pupils darkened as he heard what Luna said. After a while, however, he smiled bitterly.
“I know. I never really expect anyone to help me since I did all of this to myself…”
“If you need any help, Luna and I will still help you,” Joshua interrupted indifferently before Theo finished. “After all, you’ve saved Neil and Nellie’s life.”
Luna’s heart suddenly stopped beating when she heard what Joshua said. She turned her head around to look at him. His dark pupils had a hint of sadness. She clenched her fists tightly.
‘I see…so he takes to heart about missing the first six years of the children’s life. I thought…’ said Luna to herself.
Just then, Luna’s phone rang. It was a call from Rosalyn.
“Luna!” Rosalyn’s voice sounded frail as though she was sobbing.
“Where are you and Joshua? Can you return to the mansion? Something happened!”
