"I can explain." Cynthia rubbed her brows, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

The person on the other end remained silent, clearly wanting to see what kind of explanation she could come up with.

"I was locked in a room with a friend, and the scent inside could affect one's temperature. I just wanted to call you and calm down." Cynthia changed her wording, but she knew Captain would understand.

Hearing her words, the man on the other end did not know whether to be angry or amused.

Calling him to calm herself down?

Only she could come up with something like that.

"Are you calm now?"

"Yes, I am."

"Are the surroundings safe?"

"Yes."

With these answers, the person on the other end of the phone felt slightly reassured. Now that he was relieved, he said straightforwardly, "Since you're safe, there are some matters we should talk about."

"What is it?"

"About how you used me to calm down."

Captain emphasized the words 'calm down'.

Cynthia's worries resurfaced. "What about?"

    "Okay." Moses handed her the purchased items. From his angle, even if people were outside, they could not see what he was doing, let alone recognize Cynthia as the person opening the door.After delivering the items, Moses followed Cynthia's instructions and waited outside.Cynthia took out the items Moses had bought and selected one to inject into Joshua. Then she waited there.After about ten minutes, Joshua's body temperature gradually turned normal, and he began to regain consciousness.Cynthia turned on the signal jammer again and said casually, "Once you wake up, put on your clothes and leave."Joshua was confused and stared at her, surprised by her nonchalant tone. He thought Cynthia was a heartless woman."What are you lying around for?" Cynthia, seeing that he had opened his eyes but had not moved, reminded him, "You disappeared for over an hour. Grandpa and the others might be looking for you."Joshua remained silent. Then, he got up and changed his clothes.Throu

    Joshua's heart sank, and he did not say anything more, just walking downstairs.Moses did not ask what had happened between them or if they needed his help. If there were something he could do, Joshua would let him know."Joshua," Moses called out to him, taking long strides to catch up.Joshua's mind was preoccupied with thoughts of Cynthia. "What is it?""If you don't start chasing after her properly, Cynthia will never become my sister-in-law," Moses reminded him.Joshua glared at Moses. Did he really need Moses to remind him?"Do you want me to help you pursue her?" Moses enjoyed the spectacle, but in the end, Joshua was his brother. "I can make her like you again, or at least not dislike you."Joshua felt even more disdain for him. How was that considered pursuing someone? He decisively refused, "No need.""Are you sure?" Moses asked again.Joshua did not answer and quickened his pace to the downstairs lobby.Not long after they left, a figure appeared in the roo

    Jayleen's initial reaction was that he had discovered what she had done, and she was frantically thinking about what she should do next.She considered calling Cynthia but feared being discovered by him. Before she could decide, her other frequently used phone began to ring. When she saw that it was Cynthia calling, she froze, hesitating whether to answer.The phone rang for quite some time without anyone picking up. Cynthia thought Jayleen was either asleep or taking a shower, so she planned to hang up and wait for her to see the missed call and reply later. However, just before she hung up, Jayleen answered the call."Hello."Seeing that she answered, Cynthia went straight to the point and asked, "Did that person contact you?"Jayleen's heart skipped a beat.What was going on?Why did she feel like everyone was monitoring her?Cynthia stood by the pool behind the hotel, blending into the darkness. She waited for a while but did not get a response, so she asked, "Why aren'

    "No, no, no!" Jayleen hurriedly denied it, fearing any misunderstanding. "This has nothing to do with me. I'm just a bit worried.""Worried about what?" Cynthia asked."You said someone was secretly watching us." Jayleen sometimes wondered how Cynthia's mind worked… how she was so clever. "Won't she come after you if she finds out you were intimate with Joshua after your divorce?"Cynthia was not concerned about that. If that person made a move, she would investigate directly and not handle it casually like before. Previously, she was lazy and focused on getting a divorce, so she did not thoroughly analyze everything."It's fine. I can handle it. I have something to attend to now, so I'll hang up. If that person contacts you, remember to let me know," Cynthia replied."Okay," Jayleen agreed.Then, Cynthia ended the call. Noticing that she was done with her call, Jonathan approached and asked her, "Do you want to go back?""Yes." Cynthia's response was brief.The two of them w

    Jonathan thought it was not up to Joshua to decide if it were fine! After all, Cynthia disliked him! "Dad, you should go up first. I'll come up later," Cynthia told Jonathan, knowing that if she did not talk things through with Joshua today, he would probably follow her to the room.Jonathan was a bit concerned. "But...""I know what I'm doing," Cynthia replied calmly.Jonathan glanced at the two a few more times. Then, seeing that Joshua seemed relatively normal, he decided to listen to Cynthia and go upstairs, not delaying their discussion any further.Cynthia walked out of the hotel's entrance and headed to the nearby garden, getting straight to the point. "What exactly do you want?"Joshua remained silent.He, himself, did not even know what he was doing.He just could not help feeling empty inside when he realized that Cynthia would return to Nexuria just like that. Hence, he just wanted to spend a little more time with her, talk to her, and have more interaction."If

    "You should take care of your own affairs before worrying about others," Joshua said, approaching his car."I've already taken care of my affairs. Cynthia said that Ellora would return to find me soon." Chyler was back to his usual nonchalant and mischievous self.After all, he and Ellora still had a marriage certificate, unlike him, who had nothing.Joshua's expression changed.Find him?"Are you sure Cynthia told you this?" "She told me a couple of hours ago at the hotel." Chyler did not hide anything from him. "Don't worry… Although she abandoned you, I won't abandon you no matter what.""Are you certain that Ellora is coming back to find you and not to divorce you?" Joshua asked a piercing question that hit Chyler in the heart.Chyler's smile froze. Joshua revealed the brutal truth to him. "If the roles were reversed, would you forgive her if she had done to you what you had done to Ellora?"Without hesitation, the word 'no' instantly popped into Chyler's mind, and al

    "Hmm?""Will you still be going to Nexuria after this?" Daphne asked in a subtle manner.Nonetheless, they were family, and Joshua understood the implicit meaning behind his mother's words. He answered, "I'll go.""Cynthia..." Daphne wanted to persuade him to give up, but she did not know how to phrase it. She had observed carefully and could tell that Cynthia was clearly becoming distant from Joshua. If Joshua continued to disturb her, it would only cause trouble."I know what you want to say," Joshua said. Joshua did not want to give up just like that. Even if Cynthia ignored him, he still wanted to give it another try, at least until he caught the person she mentioned. If she still did not want him afterward, he would not disturb her anymore.Daphne and Felix exchanged a glance but ultimately did not say anything more. They were not in positions to meddle in every aspect of their child's life.That evening, anyone could sense that Joshua had something on his mind. He

    "Although it may not be appropriate for me to say this, you and Ms. Yates are already divo..." Yoel was thinking from Cynthia's perspective, and considering his close relationship with Joshua, he spoke directly.However, Joshua did not let him finish his sentence. As he heard those words, an uncomfortable feeling surged in his heart. "If you know it's inappropriate, then don't say it."Yoel was caught off guard and soon added, "You'll end up alone if you continue like this.""Aren't I already?" Joshua completely gave up on holding back.Yoel was left speechless. He understood that whatever had happened at the banquet last night must have been significant for Joshua to react this way."I was just trying to offer some guidance in case it affects our company's future cooperation. After all, this is a major collaboration," Yoel immediately found an excuse, putting on his usual calm smile.Joshua just stared at him.Yoel felt guilty under his gaze.

    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
