Noticing Nellie stopped moving, Luna furrowed her brows and looked at where Nellie was looking.
Standing by the door, Joshua was looking travel-worn.
He seemed to have come back from somewhere far.
His smart -looking suit was somewhat wrinkled.
His hair was also in a mess.
However, he gave off a charming, mature, manliness.
Luna noticed that he had a small box in his hands.
The box was familiar to her, but she could not remember when she had seen them.
“Daddy, where have you been?“
Nellie obediently put down her utensils and ran to the kitchen.
She clumsily took a plate of rice out.
“ You’re back just in time.
Let’s have a last lunch together.“
Then, Nellie felt that she said something wrong.

“ Not the last lunch, the last lunch before Aunty leaves us.“
“Hmm.“
Joshua looked at Luna and put the box down.
He roughly let loose of his tie and threw his coat on the rack.
Even his white shirt was covered in dust.
It was not any ordinary stain, rather, it was the kind of dust that had been sealed up for a long time.
She furrowed her brows.
She wanted to ask him where he went, but she held back.
She was a nobody to him.
It has nothing to do with her, where he went.
“Daddy, what is that?“ Nellie furrowed her brows and looked at Joshua carrying the box.
Joshua gently placed it on the coffee table.
“This is the dress that you’ll be wearing tonight.“
Nellie was confused.
“But Aunty has already bought the dress that I’m wearing yesterday.“
When they were out shopping, they even met with her grandmother.
Inside it was a new little girl’s dress.
It was a pink dress.
The dress was handmade.
Every stitch and detail was flawless.
Nellie looked with widened eyes.
“Wow! “
It was beautiful! It was so much more beautiful than the few gowns they tried on in the shopping mall
the day before!
Nellie was so excited.
She wanted to touch the dress but she did not dare to.

Clunk!
Luna dropped her utensils on the floor.
Joshua looked at her, but he did not mind her unusual reaction.
“I suddenly remembered that your Mommy and I had once dreamt that we were going to have a
daughter before we got married.
“While preparing for the marriage, she drew a sketch and learned how to sew.
She made this dress herself.“
Luna sat on her chair, her body stiffened.
No wonder she felt that the box was familiar to her.
It was the box that she once used to put the sketches and the dress.
When she got married, she wanted to bring the dress to Blue Bay Villa, but while she was packing,
Aura told her that the dress was too cheap-looking.
Joshua’s children would be regal and elegant.
They would never wear such a dress.
