Joshua had treated Cynthia quite well when they had just gotten married. If they had continued, they might have had children by now, and divorce would be out of the question.Joshua was taken aback."I've told you you'll regret it if you get divorced but you never believed me." Old Man Neal's disdain for Joshua grew stronger.Moses raised his brow, chiming in nonchalantly, "He really regrets it.""No, I don't," Joshua stubbornly denied.Old Man Neal glared at him. "It's best if you don't. By the way, those old folks want to find a granddaughter-in-law for their grandson. I'll introduce them to Cynthia."Joshua fell silent.He felt like Old Man Neal's sole purpose was to go against him. "She won't accept.""It's not a blind date. It's just young people getting to know each other. How could Cynthia refuse?" Old Man Neal was really scheming. Joshua stayed silent. Under the guise of making friends, Cynthia would surely agree to please Old Man Neal. Old Man Neal…really would
Joshua read the messages and pursed his lips.[Joshua: It seems like all of you have reached a suitable age for marriage.]Instantly, alarm bells rang in everyone's minds. What was going on? Was Joshua trying to urge them to get married?[We're at the right age, but we currently have no plans to get married.][That's right!][Are you looking to get married? If needed, I can introduce someone to you.][I can do that too!]In response to the messages from the group, Joshua replied, [I just had a conversation with Grandpa, and it seems like he's interested in introducing eligible girls to all of you.]Upon seeing this message, they also recalled that their grandfathers had been discussing this matter with them recently. They could brush it off when it came to their own grandfathers, making various excuses. However, if Old Man Neal were to make introductions, they would have to reluctantly go along with it out of respect for him.Elders always seemed to enjoy pushing for marriag
"I'm done playing. Go ahead and mess around all you want. When Cynthia is with someone else, you'll regret it." Old Man Neal lost interest in chess, and Joshua had managed to upset his mood. Joshua did not respond but simply poured him a cup of tea and handed it over.Watching him like this, Old Man Neal could help but feel both love and anger. Whenever he scolded Joshua, he did not get angry but tried to soothe the temperamental old man.Old Man Neal surrendered, feeling both helpless and complex, and asked, "What exactly are you thinking?" Joshua kept his thoughts deeply hidden. "I'm not."Old Man Neal almost exploded in frustration. After staring at his calm face for a while, he finally gave up on the conversation and dismissed him with a grumble, "Go away, don't bother me."Joshua left. Anyway, Moses was there. Joshua decided to go and check the banquet arrangements at the hotel. Although Felix was responsible for the setup, it was better to confirm and avoid any surprise
Felix continued to soothe her gently, his eyes filled with tenderness. "Why not?""He betrayed Cynthia. It's time for him to suffer." Daphne blurted out, then glared at him and added, "Starting tonight, you're not allowed to sleep with me for a month.""That's not acceptable. Who will keep you warm in bed if I'm not here?" Felix teased, then smoothly changed the subject, "Let's think about how we should face Cynthia and her dad when they arrive. After all, our son took their daughter away without even notifying them.""Cynthia's dad is coming?""Yes.""We should definitely come up with a plan.""Let's think it through together."Felix successfully coaxed Daphne and took her away.Cynthia and Jonathan arrived in Jiverton around seven in the evening. Upon their arrival, Jonathan double-checked with Cynthia, "Are you sure I just need to treat this as a regular business banquet?""Yes," Cynthia replied.She prepared a gift for Old Man Neal because he had treated her exceptionally
The only cooperating company invited was the Yates Group."If you have something to say, go ahead. I still have to make a trip to Old Neal Manor later," Joshua said casually.Upon hearing him, Chyler did not waste any more time. Then, He parked the car on the side of the road and turned off the engine. Leaning his hand on the steering wheel, he looked at Joshua from the side and asked, "Where is Ellora?"Joshua was confused. "Why are you asking me?""Didn't you tell me she was in Nexuria?" Chyler was somewhat impatient, and his mental health deteriorated in the past half month. "I followed your advice, but I couldn't find her.""Your stupidity is to be blamed." Joshua never held back his words with him."If it weren't for your ex-wife taking her away, would I have trouble finding her?" Chyler felt annoyed.Joshua rested his hand on the car window and said indifferently, "You're the one who lost Ellora. It has nothing to do with anyone else."Chyler wanted to retort, but Joshu
Joshua took out fifteen dollars from his wallet and handed it over, saying generously, "You do not need to look for it.""F*ck!"Chyler cursed angrily.Even though he cussed, he still took the fifteen dollars. It was Joshua's money, and he had to take it!Along the way afterward, the two of them did not speak much. No one knew what they were thinking about.Half an hour later, Chyler sent him to the Old Neal Manor.When getting out of the car, Joshua thought about what he had seen in the hospital before and added, "It is best to check whether what Ellora said about Talia is true or not.""Wait." Chyler frowned slightly, feeling that there was something wrong with him.Joshua still had that alienated look, and he only said very briefly, "There is something else.""What do you mean by that?" Chyler asked."Nothing, just a kind reminder. Some people are not necessarily worthy of your trust."Hearing this, Chyler sneered suddenly. "Tsk.""You mean to say that you misunderstoo
Felix raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder. "It is also good to admit to one's past mistakes.""I have something to do. I shall go in first. You guys have a good walk." Joshua changed the topic, and he felt troubled when he saw his father.After speaking, he walked in.Daphne was puzzled. "What did he have to do so late? Is Dad not already asleep?""He was probably feeling uncomfortable being exposed by us and had to find an excuse to leave," Felix said seriously, but his tone was light and playful.Daphne nodded. "I see.""The child has grown up. We have to save him some dignity.""Right."Listening to the voice of the conversation fading away, Joshua's emotions were somewhat complicated.He regretted more and more that he helped his father chase his mother.After returning to his room, he took a shower and changed into a set of pajamas, and then laid down on the bed.Whenever he spent the night in the Old Neal Manor, he felt unprecedented tranquility.It was far
"Don't think that my granddaughter will fall in love with you because you are good-looking. My granddaughter is not such a superficial person." Old Man Neal would feel uncomfortable if he did not criticize Joshua for a day.Joshua calmly said, "Well, she is not superficial. She only likes good-looking ones.""That is because she has good taste." "Well, you are right."Old Man Neal's following words were stuck in his throat.Bickering between the grandparent and the grandchild was already a daily routine, but bickering was still bickering. Grandpa never really got angry with Joshua, and Joshua never took what he said personally.Seeing his grandpa staring at him, Joshua raised his eyebrows slightly. "What is the matter?""I was wondering how likely it is that Cynthia will take a fancy to your face. I remember that young people nowadays like the kind of face that looks fair and clean. Your cousin is like that. The same goes for the young girls on TV." Old Man Neal was thinking de
