Chapter 544

Author: Little Treasure
"He felt that the difference in our family backgrounds was too large, creating a great deal of pressure for him. He also mentioned that his friends accused him of being a 'kept man'. He did not like the imbalance in our relationship, so he suggested we break up," Riley spoke openly about the situation.

Both Gaby and Cynthia were a bit perplexed. They thought love was about being together if you liked each other, right?

"Your boyfriend was quite foolish. When encountering friends like that, he should have retorted with something like, 'You wish you had the chance to be a kept man'," Alex remarked casually, clearly unbothered by the issue.

"It's not necessarily that simple. Some men have a strong sense of self-esteem. If their girlfriend's family is wealthier, they might feel inferior," Linus said.

At Linus's words, Cynthia faltered for a moment, her mind wandering to Captain, whom Mitchell had mentioned.

"So, would you guys feel the same?" she asked, seizing the opportunity.

    "Other employees bringing breakfast for the boss is normal. But Captain, ask yourself, was your intention of bringing breakfast to Cyn really innocent? You haven't forgotten about that time you gave me a bottle of water and made me run ten kilometers carrying weights, have you?" Alex chimed in. "I also remember the time you brought me food and tripled my training," Linus added. Matthew, seemingly unconcerned, sat there, a challenging undertone in his voice, "Are you criticizing me?" Alex and Linus were taken aback. Damn, they walked right into a trap. "So, are you really going to give Cyn a hard time?" Riley concluded. Before Matthew could respond, Cynthia, who had been listening to their conversation in a dazed state, suddenly sat up. With slightly unfocused eyes, she looked over at him and asked in a soft voice, "Captain, didn't you promise not to hold a grudge? How can you go back on your word?" Perhaps because she was still under the influence of alcohol, her voice and

    Everything clicked into place for the group. "You knew all along?" Linus asked. "Don't discuss this with Cyn. Neither help nor hinder. Especially you two," Mitchell advised, paying special attention to Riley and Gaby. Everyone knew how close Riley and Gaby were to Cynthia. They were as close as could be. Without warning, they might turn around and spill everything to Cynthia, who would probably avoid Captain if she knew his feelings. "Captain really kept his feelings well hidden." Riley sighed, feeling reassured. "He must have had feelings for Cyn even before he retired, right? When did it start?" "I don't know," replied Mitchell truthfully. No one knew when Captain had started having feelings for Cynthia. Captain was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Even when he was in training and obviously had feelings for Cynthia, he never went easy on her. On further thought, it seemed perfectly reasonable. "Indeed, that's a relief. No one wou

    Riley paused for a moment while typing, and then she stopped worrying. Since Captain was taking such good care of Cynthia, they might as well let him continue. After drinking the honey water, Cynthia sat on the spotless carpet. Her eyes were wide open, reflecting a myriad of unspoken worries. Nighttime was not the right time for decision-making, nor was it suitable for drinking. Even a person as calm and composed as Cynthia could become overwhelmed when confronted with both these factors. Without understanding why, thoughts of Joshua's injury and the serious damage to his central nervous system kept playing in her mind, amplifying her anxiety. "Captain," Cynthia sounded like a child who had lost her way. In her heart, Captain was her guide. He could easily help them with all their practical and psychological problems, leading them forward. Their trust and reliance on him grew without them even noticing. Matthew sat down next to her, casting a glance her way. "What's wrong?"

    Did the Captain realize what he was doing? "Captain..." "What's wrong?" Matthew asked, gently touching her hair as he continued to blow-dry it. However, he felt a twinge of uncertainty. After all, this was his first time doing something like this. Was he unintentionally pulling her hair, or was the dryer's heat too much? Cynthia took the hairdryer from him and turned it off, returning the room to its peaceful silence. "I can handle drying my own hair. You should get some rest. You've had a long day," she said, still somewhat uncomfortable with the situation. "Alright. Call me if you need anything," Matthew replied, not insisting any further. "Alright," Cynthia responded. Matthew gave Cynthia another look before he finally stood up to leave. As he stepped out the door and into his own home, Cynthia sent him off with a sincere, "Thank you." Once they both retreated to their respective homes, Cynthia closed her door and started blow-drying her hair on her own. It always s

    Seeing that Sean was not speaking up, Cynthia asked again, "Is he conscious at the moment?" "He was awake for a while this morning, but he's back asleep now. I'll let you know when his condition stabilizes a bit more. You can come over then, alright?" Sean relayed, knowing he could not possibly share the real situation with her. "You're hiding something from me," Cynthia stated confidently. Sean held the phone, maintaining a smile. He always knew dealing with K would be challenging. "How could that be? If you don't trust me, you can investigate. With your skills, you should be able to uncover everything," he replied in a tranquil tone, betraying no signs of abnormality. Cynthia fell silent. Sean's hand holding the phone began to sweat. He was gambling on the fact that K would not resort to her hacker skills lightly. The K he knew would only employ such tactics for significant matters. However, if she did use them, she could easily unearth the truth. "How is his external inj

    Cynthia observed for a while longer before asking Sean for Joshua's medical data. Sean complied without hesitation. After a series of inspections, neither of them detected anything out of the ordinary. As she prepared to leave, Cynthia, with Joshua on her mind, said to Sean, "Should you need any assistance during the treatment process, feel free to reach out to me. I will handle it." "What about the financial aspect?" Sean queried. "I'll take care of it," Cynthia assured him. "Excellent. I appreciate forthrightness, Ms. Yates," Sean responded, a satisfied smile crossing his face. "Please don't inform Joshua about this," Cynthia requested, adding a final instruction. If Joshua wanted no involvement with her, then he had no need to know of these arrangements. Once he was better, they could simply resume their distant acquaintance, free of any disturbances. Sean's mind was already racing with the sound of clinking coins. He could practically see a mountain of money waving at

    Moe was always serious when it came to work. For him, Arch International Group held special significance, and he wanted to do everything well, ensuring that Cynthia would make a lot of profit.After half an hour, Moe smoothly reported everything and was about to leave when Cynthia called him, "Momo, wait." Moe stood in place."What did you mean when you messaged me yesterday about someone's plotting against me?" Cynthia asked directly.Moe hesitated to speak, but Cynthia did not rush him."People are gossiping about your relationship with Mr. Quier," Moe phrased it differently.Matthew?Cynthia was taken aback.Moe was curious and asked, "Ms. Yates, are you involved with Mr. Quier? Lately, you've been running errands with him, and not including me."The most important thing was that Moe used to pick her up and drop her off for work, but now Cynthia drove herself. As the boss, she should be driven, not drive herself.Cynthia noticed the slight change in emotion on his calm e

    On that day, Cynthia had just finished work and returned home when she received a call from Felix. The conversation, as usual, revolved around Joshua."How is Joshua doing?" Felix sounded gently, trying not to pressure Cynthia.Cynthia truthfully replied, "Sean said his condition is still unstable, and they'll update me once it stabilizes.""Old Man Neal asked me if Joshua would come back for the New Year. If he can't recover before the New Year, I might need you to help," Felix continued."Okay," Cynthia agreed.After discussing a few more things, Felix hung up the phone.Cynthia sat on the couch, gripping her phone, feeling heavy. After much consideration, she decided to make a phone call to Sean.Sean answered the call while discussing something with Joshua. When he saw it was Cynthia, he frowned. Nonetheless, he still stood up and walked to a window before answering, "Hello, Ms. Yates.""How is Joshua's condition?" Cynthia asked."It's still unstable," Sean replied."I

    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
