CHAPTER 1779

Luna jumped, frightened by Jim who was behind her.

In a panic, she subconsciously looked in the direction in which Charlotte’s car left, and she then timidly

looked at Jim.

“Jim! W—When did you arrive?”

“When you made the deal with Charlotte to meet up a week after you return from Banyan City.

Jim leaned his tall body against the door, his eyes filled with aloofness as he fixed his gaze on Luna‘s

face.

“Haven‘t I warned you before to not keep contact with people like Charlotte? Not only did you ignore my

warnings, but you also kept in touch with her and even brought her home.”

Luna bit her lip, not knowing what to say at that moment.

She wanted to tell Jim about the child. She believed that if Jim knew of her predicament of bringing

Charlotte to the Landry Mansion, Jim would understand her situation.

However, she could not tell him.

First, she was afraid that Jim would be too agitated and go after Charlotte. Second, she was not sure

whether the child in the photo Charlotte showed to her was the one that was swapped previously.

After all, when her three children, Nigel, Neil, and Nellie were born, they either looked like her or

Joshua.

However, this child did not look like her at all. Instead, Shelly, who was in Bonnie‘s arms in the video

she saw that day, looked more like her.

Luna was also afraid that Charlotte was lying to her, so before she could be sure of anything, she did

not want to tell Jim, in case they were let down.

With all this, she forced herself to approach Jim and gently tugged on his arm. “Jim, have you forgotten

that I used to be disfigured, too? Charlotte came to me. She feels that you ignored her because she

was disfigured, and that’s why you’re still hostile toward her.

“Because she has truly helped me before, I shared with her some of my experience and reviews on cosmetic surgery. I wanted to encourage her to bravely go for cosmetic surgery, then leave Merchant

City in search of a new life.” Material © of .

Then, Luna laid her head on Jim‘s arm and gently swung his arm.

“Jim, I‘ll never forget what you told me, and I‘m not ignoring it either. I brought her here because I

thought of giving her all the information I had before I had my surgery, as well as

introducing my cosmetic surgeon to her.”

Luna gazed at Jim with all the sincerity she could muster at that moment.

Nonetheless, throughout the next week, Charlotte was indeed planning to use Rosalyn‘s drug, plus the

help of cosmetic surgeons, to heal the burns on her face.

A week later, when Luna would return, Charlotte would have made progress. If Jim did not believe her

at that moment, he would be convinced by then.

At that thought, Luna bit her lip and gently hugged Jim‘s arm, swaying it.

“Jim, don‘t be angry. Let‘s head in and I‘ll make you some tea, alright?”

Jim looked at Luna next to him. Perhaps blood truly was thicker than water.

Jim used to find younger sisters acting cutesy to their brothers as pretentious people. Even when

Heather used to do that to him, he would fling his arm away.

However, at that moment, looking at Luna all coquettish, he could not help but laugh out loud.

The anger in his heart completely vanished by just a few words from her. Although, he knew that Luna

must have made that up off the top of her head to fool him.

Regardless…

Jim sighed. He reached out and caressed Luna‘s head.

“I’m asking you to keep your distance from Charlotte because it‘s for your own good. Back when

Heather and Charlotte were plotting against each other, even a manipulative woman like Heather

couldn‘t go up against Charlotte. You have to be careful, and try to minimize contact with her.”

Jim was afraid that Luna would end up dead from Charlotte‘s schemes.

Luna smiled and pulled him along, heading into the house.

“I know, I know!”

At home, Luna brewed some tea for Jim and talked with him in the living area for a while. She only

headed upstairs to pack after making sure that Jim was not angry at her.

The next morning, Luna boarded the plane with her luggage at hand.
