Joshua was still driving when he received the text. He glanced at the message that popped up, and his gaze deepened as he accelerated toward the suburban villa.

When he arrived, Chyler and Yiordan seemed to be playing a mobile game while Moses ran back and forth between different places. Only Cynthia and Mitchell were sitting there chatting.

Although it was just an ordinary distance and conversation, Joshua could not help but feel they should be separated, as their behavior was like an eyesore.

"You finally made it. We've been waiting for you for over half an hour," Moses joked, placing a bottle of wine on the table and pulling Joshua over.

Joshua was emitting a terrifyingly low pressure.

Moses pulled him to sit down, and all six were present. Chyler glanced at Mitchell, fiddling with his phone and asking Moses, "Today isn't a day worth celebrating, so why did you call us all here?"

Moreover, he even invited Mitchell.

"Who said it's not worth celebrating?" Moses blurted out.

    "This depends on Cynthia." Mitchell summed up everything in one sentence.Seeing that the day's highlight was coming, Moses asked, "Cynthia, what do you think of Mitchell?""He's great," Cynthia replied in a professional tone.Moses smirked and asked teasingly, "And Joshua?""A scumbag," Cynthia bluntly replied.She was not afraid to damage Joshua's image. Everyone here knew what he had done and why he divorced her for his ex-lover.Calling him a scumbag was not an exaggeration."Ahem!" Chyler could not help it anymore.Joshua's soon-to-be ex-wife was too tough!"Can't you stuff your mouth with the food and shut up?" Joshua's chilly gaze fell on Moses, his words cold and unsympathetic."Food is meant to be tasted, not to be used to shut one's mouth. How did Cynthia fall for you with that IQ of yours?" Moses replied with a smirk.Joshua remained quiet.Where was his knife when he needed it?! "Let's play a game." Moses started the next round. He had put in much effort for J

    Mitchell was not very interested in this kind of game, so he made a random demand, and Joshua quickly complied. Then, they moved on to the next round. After four rounds without Cynthia's turn, they moved on to the fifth round. "I got A," said Moses with a hint of playfulness in his eyes. Then, he asked, "Who got B?""Not me," said Mitchell."Not me," said Chyler."Also, not me," said Yiordan.As Mitchell, Chyler, and Yiordan spoke, Moses' gaze fell on Joshua and Cynthia. The game had officially begun!Cynthia flipped over her small round disc and accepted it calmly, "It's me.""Truth or dare?" Moses asked, already knowing the routine.Cynthia thought about the not-so-outrageous conditions from their previous rounds and chose 'dare'. Truth did not suit her well. "Are you sure?" asked Moses."Yes," replied Cynthia."Call your first love on speakerphone and tell them you miss them," said Moses, who had already prepared the question. Whether Cynthia chose truth or dare, the ou

    However, the more Cynthia tried to keep it from Joshua, the more he wanted to know. Joshua slammed the small disc on the table and fixed his gaze on Cynthia. Then, slowly and deliberately, he said, "Text me the name, occupation, and age of your first love."Everyone was confused. Was that even allowed?Cynthia looked at him, puzzled. Was this man dropped as a baby? How could he not know his own name, occupation, and age?"What's wrong? Are you afraid to let me know?" Cynthia's stare made him feel uncomfortable, as if she was trying to hide something from him. Joshua just had to know. Who was this person who had become her first love and made her remember him so fondly after all these years?Cynthia muttered, "You're insane." Then, she downed three more glasses of wine.Mitchell was worried about her condition as Cynthia did not have much experience drinking, and her alcohol tolerance was not high.After she finished her third glass of wine, Mitchell interrupted, "That

    In the following rounds, Moses did not sabotage Cynthia anymore. Instead, he distributed the discs among them fairly. However, Cynthia seemed to be competing with Joshua. It was either her turn or his turn. "Joshua has disc B. Who got disc A?" Moses looked around the room. Cynthia's eyes were brighter than usual, and her voice sounded more lively. "Me.""Truth or dare?" "Dare.""Drink all the alcohol on the table," Cynthia blurted out.Everyone was speechless.Mitchell could not bear to watch. Cynthia's intelligence had definitely plummeted from the intoxication.Joshua looked at her, poured three glasses, and drank them all. His voice was a bit husky and sexy as he said, "Next.""Joshua, that's not fair. I told you to drink it all, not just three glasses," Cynthia slurred, but fortunately, she was still coherent."Cynthia, Joshua chose to drink. It's not part of the dare," Moses explained, hoping that Cynthia would catch on.Cynthia paused, looked at Joshua, and then

    Both of them had a hint of emotion in their expressions."Cynthia and I haven't gotten divorced yet, and I take care of her well," Joshua said as he looked at the person still playing with the porcelain discs, already decided on it. Then, he added, "I don't have the habit of sleeping with men.""Cynthia," Mitchell called out.Cynthia turned her head, her big watery eyes looking innocent and pure. "Hmm?"Moses quickly melted.Cynthia's personality while drunk was no longer tough and mature, and she became his ideal type. If they got too close, it would be easy for Moses to develop inappropriate feelings. It was best to leave this matter to them."Do you want to sleep alone or with Joshua?" Mitchell always respected Cynthia's decisions."I want to sleep with Bailey. So comfortable to hold," Cynthia blurted out, her words sounded softer than usual. Joshua's face darkened.Who was Bailey again?Mitchell raised his eyes and patiently reassured her, "Bailey isn't here, so you

    An hour later, Ellora arrived. She wore a warm-colored coat and had her long brown hair flowing down. She was escorted inside by the guards at the door. If it were not for confirming with Mitchell on the phone that Cynthia, whom he mentioned, was the same person as her friend Cynthia, Ellora would not have dared to come to such a remote place late at night."Mr. Cyrus," Ellora greeted Mitchell with a smile as he stood at the door. Mitchell was a big shot in the legal world that even many top lawyers wanted to befriend."Cynthia is inside. She's had a bit too much to drink. Thank you for agreeing to look after her," Mitchell said in a gentle tone. "No problem," Ellora replied.As she followed Mitchell inside, Ellora could not help but wonder if Cynthia's husband was Mitchell. Before Ellora could ponder further, she stopped in her tracks upon seeing the person taking care of Cynthia inside.Joshua Neal?"Cynthia..." Ellora stopped in the living room, unable to process what was h

    Moses laughed casually and leaned toward Joshua. "I'm doing this for you, you know?"Joshua stared at him, clearly conveying the message that he had no right to say such a thing."Now that it's just the two of us… Tell me… How did you feel when you found out about Cynthia's unresolved first love?" Moses was all about the gossip.In one gulp, Joshua downed a glass of wine and said coldly, "I didn't feel anything.""Stop putting on an act. If you really felt nothing, would you have asked Cynthia for the name, age, and profession of her first love while playing Truth or Dare?" Moses called him out.Joshua remained silent.This guy was so annoying."Sometimes you have to face your own feelings." Moses hit the nail on the head.The purpose of tonight's game was to make Joshua realize that he liked Cynthia, and his reaction to the question about her first love proved that he cared a lot about her unresolved feelings for that person.Moses decided to play a more serious card. "How

    Cynthia paused momentarily, then responded in her usual indifferent tone, "There's nothing to talk about.""I think there's quite a bit to talk about. Like, who was your first love?" Joshua replied as he brought her another glass of water and stood in her way, blocking her path.Cynthia remained silent."You really liked him?" Joshua pressed on."Do you care?" Cynthia shot back.After spending so much time with Joshua, she knew which questions would stump him. However, she seemed to have misjudged this time as Joshua's eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse."I'm just curious who could make you remember them for so many years.""Oh," Cynthia said, ready with an answer.Joshua was taken aback.Oh? "He's just like you," Cynthia added, leaning her back against the table."A scumbag."Joshua's face turned even darker.This woman!"If you're really curious about him, you can look at yourself for reference. You're both equally matched when it comes to being a scumbag," Cyn

    Isabella glared at Nick. He actually betrayed her! Caught off guard by Luther's honesty, Nick quickly explained, "Don't look at me like that. Luther forced me to do it. If I didn't agree to his request, he would've spilled my past to my current girlfriend.""Current girlfriend?" Isabella looked puzzled.Nick confessed honestly, "My new girlfriend."Isabella was at a loss for words. Nick was very handsome. His looks could rival top celebrities. Naturally, with his face and charisma, he had no shortage of admirers. That led to a habit of frequently changing girlfriends."I made my rules clear to her. No shady behavior allowed," Nick added quickly, sensing what Isabella was thinking.Hearing this, Isabella did not say much.A moment later, Luther, seeing that their conversation had wrapped up, took Isabella's hand and left. On the way back, he deliberately brought up the topic of proposals."What kind of proposal do you like?" Luther asked."Anything works," Isabella replied

    There was a time when Isabella considered letting Luther propose to her. However, he had not shown any signs that he would or asked for her ring size. There was no need to overthink it; that fool probably had not even thought about it. Nonetheless, Isabella did not blame Luther. After all, she was well aware that everyone expressed love differently. Yet, that was also precisely why she wanted to propose to him, to make him understand just how much she cared."What's wrong?" Annie asked, concerned."I'm just worried," Isabella replied. The ring sizes had been a constant worry for her."Because of what you just mentioned?"Isabella nodded. "Yeah.""Why do you want to propose to him?" Annie looked toward a dark corner. "In most relationships, the boyfriend proposes to the girlfriend, right?""I want him to feel loved," Isabella answered simply.Luther was different from most people; he always suppressed his negative emotions and limited his freedom. He no longer wanted to restr

    "No," Luther declined; he still wanted to be the one proposing to her."Okay," Joshua agreed readily.Luther nodded, letting his mind wander. In the following days, Isabella kept checking on the progress, each time being informed that there was no opportunity to measure Luther's finger.In the blink of an eye, three days passed.Cynthia and Matthew had a conversation with Isaiah.Due to prior preparation, Isaiah handled Cynthia and Matthew's questions smoothly. Although they knew Isaiah had not been entirely truthful, based on his attitude toward Sandra, they agreed to the marriage without excessive probing into his relationship with her.As for Isabella, she waited for a few days but had not received any news. Frustrated, she decided to go to Jiverton herself to find Luther.When Joshua heard about her plan, he asked her to give him a bit more time. He assured her he would have the sizes by next Friday at the latest."Really?" Isabella was worried about running out of time.

    "Okay." Isaiah already had a plan in mind.After discussing the matter, the two did not say much more. In the following two days, Cynthia and Matthew stayed home while Isabella prepared the details and processes for the proposal.However, after going through the general plan, Isabella suddenly realized a problem. She did not know Luther's ring size. How could she prepare a ring for the proposal without knowing the size?Realizing this issue, she immediately thought of flying to Jiverton to find out but hesitated due to Luther's caution. If she returned so soon after just coming back, he would surely be suspicious. After much contemplation, she came up with a solution—Joshua.When Isabella called, Joshua happened to be having a meal with Luther."I'm not busy, what's up?""I need your help with something," Isabella said, trusting Joshua's abilities, "but Luther can't know about it."Joshua instinctively glanced at Luther.Luther was confused. He glanced at Joshua's phone and

    "Quit the act," Matthew said to Isabella, "It's too bad."Isabella stayed quiet. Matthew bluntly stated, "Isaiah currently oversees the company, and the annual revenue has been consistently increasing under his management. He even took a few subsidiaries public.""And?" Isabella inquired."He has a talent for this," Matthew hinted, leaving Isabella puzzled as she struggled to keep up with Matthew's pace."He's barely in his twenties, so there's no rush to get married," Matthew explained. He saw through everything, understanding Isaiah well, adding, "If there were truly such a concern, he could easily establish a company under Sandra's name in the next few years, operate it until it goes public."With Isaiah's abilities and connections, starting a company and taking it public would be a simple task. After the IPO and proper management, Sandra's value would naturally rise. This would effortlessly 'shut their mouths'. Isabella wanted to say something, realizing her dad's words

    "That depends on the secret he's keeping," Matthew responded immediately, taking the opportunity to tease Isaiah, "If it's something against our moral values, it'd be hard not to form an opinion, even if we try not to.""He's not that kind of person," Isabella defended Isaiah.Matthew did not respond but just sat there. Their father-son dynamic involved banter and teasing, but when it came down to it, they genuinely cared about each other."He's just worried that you might object to Sandra's background," Isabella continued to spin her tale convincingly.Cynthia and Matthew were confused, both staring at Isabella.Isabella felt a bit uneasy. Something seemed off with her parents' expressions. "What's wrong?""Are you sure Isaiah is worried about this?" Cynthia asked.Why was their beloved daughter so bad at lying? Not catching on, Isabella nodded, "Absolutely.""Setting aside the fact that we've always taught you not to treat people differently based on their family background

    "Ah, I see." Isabella breathed a sigh of relief and purposely asked, "Is it possible that Isaiah got to know Sandra through Uncle Yves and Uncle Sean?""It's unlikely," Cynthia denied. Even though they had not arranged any blind dates or rushed Isaiah into marriage, given his personality, he would not seek an introduction from anyone."Whenever you have time, ask Isaiah to bring his girlfriend home," Cynthia said, truly wishing for her children to find happiness. Isabella agreed, "Sure.""Isabella," Cynthia suddenly spoke up.Putting away her plan book, Isabella responded, "Hmm?""Do you think I look stern?" Cynthia sounded gentler than usual, lacking the usual nonchalance.Having been accustomed to being herself, Cynthia found it a bit awkward to take on the role of an elder suddenly. If she left a bad impression on Sandra during their first meeting, it could easily jeopardize Isaiah's relationship."Not at all," Isabella spoke sincerely, looking at Cynthia affectionately. "Y

    Isaiah had seen through their plans. He knew that his parents' friends enjoyed watching him banter with Matthew. Every time something was like this, they would eagerly make things difficult for him.Early the next morning, Mitchell and the others began implementing the plan. Initially, Matthew did not suspect anything and thought they genuinely had urgent matters to attend to and brought Cynthia back home first.Considering Luther's upcoming proposal, they decided not to travel the world but instead explored nearby cities. After Mitchell and the others called Matthew aside, Isabella approached Cynthia. Cynthia was surprised to learn about Isabella and Isaiah's plan."Aren't you afraid of getting in trouble?" Cynthia asked."Not at all," Isabella responded very directly, her mind focused on planning her and Luther's engagement. "Isaiah said he can handle this matter, so let's discuss the proposal first. I've thought about several options, but none seem good enough.""Okay," Cynth

    Isaiah was surprised."Take her to shoot wedding photos first," Isabella suggested seriously. After giving it some thought, Isaiah said, "I'll ask her during dinner.""Why bother asking?" Isabella thought Isaiah's emotional intelligence was lacking, and Sandra's expectations were too low. "Just pick a few reputable studios and let her choose one she likes."During their conversation, Isabella noticed that Sandra was slightly anticipating a wedding, although she had refused for some unknown reason. If she was not truly opposed to weddings, there should not be an issue with pre-wedding photos."If you give it directly to her, she'll probably say she doesn't need it," Isabella coined. She could see through people and was quite clever.Isaiah clearly did not consider this possibility."Take a look at these studios. My friends suggested them," Isabella had already made the selections and recommended them to him. "Weren't you against my decision before?" Isaiah, not understanding h
