CHAPTER 2489

"I never thought that..."

When he saw the look of despair in Neil's eyes, Joshua was unsure of how to console his son.

He could understand Neil's disappointment and sorrow, considering that the three children had, at one

point, thought Malcolm was going to be their new stepfather.

However, this was not the children's fault; it was Malcolm who had fooled everyone.

"How about this?"

Neil lifted his head to stare at Joshua.

"I'm familiar with Uncle Malcolm, so I think I'd better stall him while you stay by Mommy's side."

Neil tried to explain this calmly and clearly.

"I heard you say you wanted to go to Thomas' house and demand he hand Uncle Malcolm over, but I

think this is a risky decision, Daddy.

"It's unlikely that he'll hand Uncle Malcolm over, and if you went, it'll only aggravate the tension

between you and Mr.Thomas even more.

"Even though you don't care that he's your cousin, he's still Mommy's future business partner, and this

added tension won't benefit anyone."

Joshua narrowed his eyes and gazed intently at the seven-year-old boy before him.

After a long time, a helpless smile appeared on his face.

"I guess you're right."

He had been so overcome by rage that he failed to consider the long -term effects of his actions.

After all, he had just sent Yannie to get close to Thomas and obtain his DNA sample a few days ago,

and if he and Thomas got into a dispute at this moment, it would be challenging for Yannie to carry out

her task.

At the thought of this, Joshua curled his lips into a smirk and stared at the boy before him.

"You have any good ideas?"

"Leave this to me!" Original content from .

Neil patted his chest in confidence.

"I'm the one who knows Uncle Malcolm best, so leave it to me, Nigel, and Nellie to lure him out of his

hiding place.

"What you have to do right now, Daddy, is to remain by Mommy's side.If...If Aunt Bonnie never wakes

up again, Mommy will be the most devastated person in the room, aside from Uncle Jim."

A surge of warmth spread through Joshua's heart when he realized how considerate Neil was toward

Luna's feelings.He reached out wrapped his arms around Neil's shoulders.

"Your mother is blessed to have you as her son."

The warmth of Joshua's embrace made Neil's heart quiver, and finally, he sighed.

"It's my blessing to have you and Mommy as my parents.

"I'm not as smart or talented as Nigel and Nellie, so I can't do much to help you and Mommy, but I try

my best."

Joshua's arm stiffened upon hearing this.

"Neil."

He gently pulled Neil away from him and fixed his gaze on the boy's face.

"Please don't even think you don't match up to Nigel or Nellie, and don't you ever think of yourself as

anything short of amazing.

"To me, you're the one with the most potential out of the three of you."

He did not mention the fact that, in his opinion, Neil was the one who was most equipped to take over

Lynch Group in the future.

Neil sniffed.

"Okay!"

Then, he shoved Joshua away and said, ''You'd better get back soon and take care of Mommy!"

"Alright, but promise me you'll take care of yourself too.Malcolm is a very dangerous man, so please

watch out."

Joshua sighed, ordered Lucas to dismiss the men he had gathered, and returned to the living room.

At this moment, the entire room was in chaos.
