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. "What's wrong?""Are you concern
Why was Joshua asking him to think from a girl's perspective?Yoel was not a girl, so how could he possibly know what girls truly think?Did Joshua misunderstand something about him? Joshua stopped talking to him and closed his eyes to rest.Yoel had been silently mocking Joshua in his mind, but as he continued to mock, he suddenly discovered something crucial…Did Joshua's previous words convey something about him and Cynthia? Yoel wanted to ask, but seeing that Joshua had already fallen asleep, he decided not to disturb him.In the following days, Joshua and Yoel attended their collaboration. Although Joshua had something on his mind, it was completely unnoticeable during the discussion. He effortlessly navigated through the conversation, appearing calm and relaxed, and the collaboration went smoothly. However, things were not as smooth for Cynthia. Just two days after returning from Jiverton, Jonathan told her that Old Man Yates wanted to see her. "If you don't want t
