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.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHowever, 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 i
n 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.”
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 h
elp 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 mo
ment, 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 Heathe
r used to do that to him, he would fling his arm away.

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