"I have no reason to refuse. The current Joshua is all-around good. He's handling the boundaries of his relationship with you well. He genuinely likes Isabella, and she likes him back." Matthew was a discerning person. However, if the present Joshua met the present Cynthia and both confessed their feelings to her, he honestly did not know who Cynthia would choose.Cynthia glanced at him and replied with a simple, "Alright."With the night getting late, Matthew turned off the lights and cuddled with her. He could sense that Joshua still had feelings for Cynthia, but he did not mind. After all, Cynthia was now his.The following morning, everyone woke up early. Isabella, still excited about the previous night's news, wanted to share it with her brother. After breakfast, she happily told Isaiah, "Isaiah, I have some great news!"Isaiah was curious and asked, "What is it?""Uncle Joshua wants to be my godfather! It means I can play with him more often now," Isabella exclaimed, be

Isaiah could not help but think Matthew's thoughts were abnormal."Do you know Uncle Joshua still likes Mommy?" Isaiah asked just as he was leaving."Stop meddling in grown-ups' affairs. Don't mention these things in front of Mommy," Matthew replied, feeling that his son was too mature for his age.Cynthia was emotionally clueless. As long as things were not made too obvious, she would not notice."I understand," Isaiah said.As he was about to leave, Matthew stopped him.Isaiah looked at Matthew, puzzled. Matthew approached him and asked, "How did you know Uncle Joshua still likes Mommy?"It was one thing for Matthew to sense it, but Isaiah was just a child. He had gone upstairs last night and had no reason to pick up on it."Last night, I accidentally overheard Uncle Joshua talking on the phone with his pursuer. He said he liked Mommy before, likes her now, and will like her in the future," Isaiah explained."Well, just like me," Matthew added naturally.Isaiah looked at

"You don't what?" Isabella mischievously asked."Nothing. There's nothing else to it," Isaiah replied, not wanting to utter words that might come back to haunt him later."But you just said you don't need a girlfriend," Isabella reminded him, making it clear that she was teasing him.Isaiah maintained his indifferent expression.Isabella continued to lock eyes with him.Two minutes later, Isabella admitted defeat. She turned off the camera function on her smartwatch, pouting and huffing. "You're so annoying.""Let's get back to our homework," Isaiah said.Isabella took her homework from the desk and opened her books. As she began working, she said to Isaiah once more, "You're not as gentle as Jojo.""Mmhmm. Jojo is the gentlest," Isaiah replied nonchalantly, not paying much attention.Isabella's face immediately lit up. "Of course!""When you grow up, remember to go to Jojo's house to propose. Bring him home as your husband," Isaiah suggested, his tone soft and somewhat detac

"Oh," Isabella responded before obediently focusing on her meal. Even so, her curiosity lingered. Could there really be someone more handsome than Isaiah in the world? Her little concern paled in comparison to the complexities of Joshua's life.It was already eleven thirty when Joshua returned to Jiverton. Seeing Felix and Daphne were both asleep, he went to his room to freshen up before heading to bed.As he emerged from the bathroom and passed through the dressing room to his bed, he noticed the blankets on his bed were slightly raised."Renee?" Joshua guessed. The person on the bed did not speak or react to his presence. Joshua walked over and lifted the covers to see who it was. However, the person suddenly sat up, tossing the covers aside."It's me," revealed Renee, bathed in the room's soft light. She was dressed provocatively in a black silk camisole, her fair skin accentuated by the outfit. Her delicate, alluring face had a blush as she felt shy, giving her the allu

"Alright." Joshua assumed that she was finally giving up."You said you're not interested, but you're actually impotent. After all, besides Cynthia, no one knows about your little secret," Renee continued, approaching him.Joshua remained quiet. Renee pressed, "You know Cynthia isn't the type to gossip. As long as you don't sleep with others, nobody will find out.""Mm. You're right," Joshua simply agreed. Clearly, he was ready to go along with anything to make her back off.Renee was unsatisfied with his indifferent attitude and took a deep breath before saying, "I knew it all along. A normal adult man wouldn't be as indifferent as you!""Well, it's good that you know I'm impotent," Joshua countered, using her words against her. He had always been rather indifferent about this matter. Even if he experienced a rare biological impulse, he could easily shift his focus elsewhere. After all, it was not necessary to engage in sexual activities."In light of your frankness, I'll re

The fact that Joshua would want to go to such lengths was quite remarkable."Cynthia's," Joshua said with a hint of unnoticeable affection in his deep voice.Daphne hesitated and instinctively glanced at Renee. Felix was stunned."I knew about it. Auntie Daphne, Uncle Felix, I have to leave for a meeting at the company," Renee reassured them with a smile."Be safe," Daphne advised."Okay," Renee replied and left.The three of them were left in the living room.Daphne glanced outside and struggled to speak. "Are you really not considering Renee?""No," Joshua firmly refused.Daphne persisted, "Why not? She's attractive, highly educated, talented, and her mom and I are close friends...""Exactly for those reasons, I shouldn't consider her. I have Cynthia in my heart, and I can't let go of her. Trying to be with Renee would be unfair to her.""But you said you'd already moved on," Daphne reminded him gently."I thought I had. But now, I can be very certain that in the presen

As Daphne handed back the phone, she accidentally pressed the back button, which took her to the home screen. When she looked at the background, she was shocked.Joshua, who had not noticed anything, asked, "What's wrong?""It's nothing," Daphne replied and returned the phone without another word. The phone's wallpaper and lock screen displayed only Cynthia, and Daphne was worried for Joshua."When did you take the photos of Cynthia?" Daphne asked."Yesterday," Joshua understood her question and answered.Daphne pursed her lips but remained silent.That evening, Joshua received a video call from Isabella. He was surprised but promptly accepted the call."Uncle Joshua, good evening." Isabella's voice was sweet and endearing. Joshua adored Isabella, asking gently, "Why haven't you gone to sleep yet?""I'm thinking about something.""What are you thinking about?""A question without a clear answer for now," Isabella spoke with utmost seriousness.Joshua was curious, leaning

"Can't she talk to us or Kendrick?" Mitchell asked."All of you have an excellent relationship with Cynthia and me. She might have reservations. Joshua has a unique relationship with her, and she can speak freely in front of him," Matthew explained. He was intensely concerned for Cynthia and the kids. Furthermore, the twins were easily spoiled by them. Joshua, while doting on the kids, was not one to be unreasonably indulgent. Being first-time parents, he and Cynthia did not always get everything right. If she happened to feel wronged around them, there was a place to vent her grievances."What about Isaiah?" Mitchell asked."He doesn't need it. He takes care of himself perfectly fine," Matthew replied, knowing Isaiah well."Daddy!" Isabella ran out with excitement.Matthew squatted and embraced her as she rushed over, gently asking, "What's up?""Can Isaiah and I go to Daddy Joshua's for a few days during this winter break?" Isabella's eyes were filled with hope, and her face

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
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1501
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
