Chapter 2272 Joshua’s eyebrows frowned when he heard Luna’s voice but did not even turn around. “It’s too
dangerous, Luna. You should stay home with the children and await my news.”
Then, he strode out the door.
Luna immediately grabbed hold of his arm, frowning in disapproval. “Anything that has to do with Christopher has to
do with the Landry family, and I’m a part of the Landry family, too.” She stared at Joshua with an earnest yet
solemn look. “I want to go with you.”
Joshua furrowed his brows even more when he saw how tightly Luna gripped his hand. “Luna, do you have any idea
what we’ll be facing today? We’re talking about a mentally ill man on the verge of going insane, and he has a
weapon with him! “We can’t afford to hurt Christopher because of his relations with the Landry family, and the only
choice we have is to try to coax him to put down the knife.
“Do you even know how difficult this is going to be? Do you have any idea how dangerous this is and how many
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtpeople might be hurt as a result?”
As he said this, Joshua gently pried each of Luna’s fingers off of him. “Luna, I don’t want you to come with me. I
don’t want to put you in any danger.”
Luna’s entire body stiffened when she heard this.
However, a split second later, she reached out to grab his arm once more. “I know you’re worried about me,
Joshua, but that doesn’t mean I’m not worried about you.”
She lunged forward and wrapped both her arms around Joshua’s arm like a koala. “I won’t let you leave the house
unless you take me with you!”
“Just bring her along, Joshua.” Theo sighed when he saw the determined look in Luna’s eyes and gently patted
Joshua’s shoulder. “Your three children are already trying their best to buy you some extra time, so let’s not make
their efforts go to waste.
“You only have twenty-five minutes, so you’d better not waste any more time and just bring Luna along with you. If
there’s anything you’d like to say to each other, you can do so in the
car.
“Besides, it’s only fair for Luna to be worried about your safety, too. Worst comes to worst, you can lock her in the
car when you arrive instead of wasting your time arguing with her now.
Joshua furrowed his brows when he heard this.
A split second later, he let out a sigh GYQCK=NK took Luna’s hand in his. “Alright, you can come with me.”
Theo was right; they had no time to waste.
If he were to continue arguing with Luna about this, he would only be wasting precious time, and if anything terrible
were to happen as a result, both of them would regret this for the rest
of their lives.
Seeing that Joshua had finally relented, Luna shot Theo an appreciative glance and followed Joshua out the door.
Theo remained motionless, watching the two of them leave. Then, he turned to glance at Nigel and Neil, who were
busying themselves in the study, and sighed.
“Uncle Theo.” Nellie reached out to grab his sleeve. “Do you want to come with me to the kitchen and help me

Theo fell silent for a moment, then squatted to pick up Nellie in his arms. “Of course I do.”
Then, as he carried Nellie down the stairs, he could not help lamenting, “Your Daddy and Mommy love each other
very much.”
“Uncle Theo, I know you and Aunt Rachel love each other very much, too.” Nellie winked at him. “Since you can tell
my Daddy and Mommy are very much in love, why is it so hard for you to see that Aunt Rachel is head over heels
for you, too?”
Theo curled his lips into a bitter smile. “I know that.” However, he knew how stubborn Rachel was. If she made up
her mind about something, nothing would be able to sway her decision. It did not matter that they were in love.
They could not be together anyway…and it was all his fault.
Merchant City Center.
There was a terrible traffic jam in the heart of the city, and the taxi driver smacked his steering wheel in frustration.
“What the hell is going on today? Has the whole city gone into chaos just because Jim Landry, the young master of
the Landry family, is getting married today?”
