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

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.”
If Theo was not there to protect Nellie and Neil and used himself as a target to attract the enemy’s attention from
attacking them both, Nellie and Neil would never have had the opportunity to escape separately.
Most importantly, Neil and Nellie would no longer be by their side. This was a debt the Lynch family owed to Theo,
and they would eventually repay him for it.
Previously, Joshua did not know how to repay this favor, but at this moment, he had found the best way to do so.
Theo smiled bitterly. “I saved Neil and Nellie because it’s what an adult should do. I didn’t expect any returns from
you, so—”
Joshua interrupted again, “We’re helping you because we’re your friends, not because we want to return the favor.
After all…”
He held Luna tightly by her shoulder ASWel=NL said, his voice watered down with lament,” Even when Luna thinks

After a sigh, he continued, “Who never made any silly mistakes in their relationships, anyway? If I didn’t do anything
wrong, Luna won’t leave me for six years, and I won’t be absent from witnessing the first six years of my children’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!”
