However, Cynthia believed Joshua was feeling guilty rather than love. During the one-month cooling-off period after their divorce, they were unhappy, filled with endless arguments and misunderstandings. Given Joshua's personality, Cynthia believed that he would want to make amends once he truly realized the situation. Perhaps their time on Queneska Island was his way of making amends.Unable to figure it out completely, Cynthia decided to stop dwelling on it. Whether it was love or guilt, it no longer mattered.A dreamless night passed.The following day, Cynthia woke up to some commotion in the living room. She rubbed her still groggy head, dressed, and opened the door. As she walked into the living room and saw someone bustling around the dining table, she froze.What was happening? Had Joshua recovered?As if sensing Cynthia's presence, Joshua arranged the breakfast, appearing excited. "Good morning! I made breakfast. Would you like to try it?"Cynthia approached the table

Joshua's situation needed to be resolved. If Felix wanted to take him back, Cynthia would have to take them to the airport. If Felix wanted to leave him in Nexuria, she would have to go to Joshua's house and pack some of his personal belongings.In the study, Cynthia felt a bit nervous as she called Felix. She did not know if Felix would accept Joshua's current condition.The phone connected, and Felix's voice came through. Cynthia did not beat around the bush and said, "Uncle Felix, are you available? I want to talk to you about Joshua's situation.""I'm available. Go ahead." Felix's voice was soft and warm."I brought Joshua from Sean's place to my house last night. He's physically fine, but..." Cynthia said.The words that followed were difficult to say. After all, amnesia combined with mental regression was no small matter.After hearing that Joshua was physically fine, Felix felt a sense of relief, and his tone noticeably lightened. "It's alright, just tell me what you
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 560
Felix did not say much, keeping certain matters brief. Under normal circumstances, Joshua would not pretend to have amnesia or act like a child. Now that he truly had amnesia and his mental state regressed, he would surely pretend once he gradually recovered. After all, like father, like son, Felix believed he understood his own son.After their conversation, Felix left the Neal Group, wearing his suit jacket, and headed home to report the situation. Of course, he gave the slightly modified version with some lies added.After hanging up the phone, Cynthia called Yoel to tell him she would bring Joshua over. Once the call ended, she made preparations and took Joshua out.Joshua felt a bit uneasy sitting in the car. He did not know where Cynthia was taking him and wondered if she no longer wanted him."Joshua," Cynthia called out to him.Joshua glanced at her, replying obediently, "What is it?" Cynthia decided to tell him in advance and gauge his reaction. "I'm taking you to
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 561
Cynthia was puzzled by Felix and Yoel's reaction after she mentioned Joshua's amnesia. Then, she looked at Joshua, who had remained obedient throughout, and asked Yoel, "Why are you asking that?""It just feels unreal," Yoel replied."He really has amnesia. I observed him closely after bringing him back last night, and there's no possibility he's pretending," Cynthia affirmed.If everything he was doing is an act, then the world owes Joshua an Oscar. After all, his expressions, mannerisms, and instinctive movements and reactions were too natural. After talking with Felix, Cynthia tested Joshua, and he was not pretending.Yoel looked at Joshua curiously.Joshua frowned. Why was he staring at him? Did he not know that it was impolite to stare like that? "Joshua thinks I'm his sister," Cynthia intended to discuss this with Yoel further.Joshua perked up.Yoel was confused.Sister?"Let me introduce you. This is your former assistant, Yoel Cheyne. You trusted him a lot, and

"Why?" Yoel still could not figure out if Joshua was pretending or not. "Are you afraid of being discovered by Ms. Yates?""No.""Then what is it?""I read that stupidity is contagious, and I don't want to become stupid."After saying this, Joshua stood up and walked toward the bedroom, where Cynthia was packing his clothes and belongings.Cynthia put his clothes in the suitcase and noticed his hesitant expression. Then, she asked, "What's wrong? Did you not have fun with Yoel?""I don't like playing with him." Joshua tugged at her clothes gently. "He asked me strange questions, like a bad person."Yoel, who had walked in, remained silent.Cynthia was confused and glanced over, curious about what Yoel had asked for Joshua to react this way. Yoel honestly explained the situation, feeling a mix of emotions.It seemed that Joshua's amnesia and mental regression were real.After understanding the situation, Cynthia reassured Joshua, "Yoel just thought your illness was unbeliev

"What?" Cynthia thought she had misheard."When we were about to leave, you held my hand and showed concern," Joshua clarified, pursing his lips and acting obediently.Cynthia was taken aback.Did he become happy because of her simple question? Joshua had been observing Cynthia all along, and when she did not respond, he softly said, "Cynthia.""Yes?""I've never seen you smile.""I don't like to smile.""No one dislikes smiling. Unless they're unhappy or there's nothing to make them happy," Joshua confidently stated.Cynthia asked, "Where did you come up with that twisted logic?""It's not twisted logic. I want to make you happy."Cynthia fell silent. Well, there was no point arguing with him as his mind was of a child. She took Joshua to the hospital, and when the doctor used a sterile needle to puncture a large blister and disinfect it, Joshua's face wrinkled up in discomfort.Cynthia was surprised as Joshua used to be unafraid of pain. It seemed that she had overlo

Joshua really felt the pain and whimpered, "Hssss!""Just bear with it. It'll be over soon," Cynthia rubbed his head, comforting him as she would comfort any other child.Joshua obediently nodded. "Okay."The doctor was speechless.Things were not going as he had planned! She should be kissing his boo or mocking him for being unable to bear the pain! How did it become an adult comforting a child with such a simple sentence?! The doctor decided to ignore it and prescribed some medication for them. "You don't need to worry about the remaining blisters. Let them heal naturally. Remember to apply this ointment.""Thank you, doctor." Cynthia took the medication.As they left the hospital, Joshua followed along obediently. In the car, in an attempt to get to know Cynthia better, he cautiously asked, "Cynthia, do you not like boys who are scared of pain? Cynthia was completely bewildered and did not quite catch what he said."I'll be a tough guy from now on," Joshua added.C

"No, you misunderstood," Cynthia attempted to explain, but she did not have a chance to give the reason as Shirley interrupted her throughout.Shirley, unaware of Cynthia's previous incident on Queneska Island or Joshua's near-death experience saving her, said with determination, "Whether I misunderstand or not doesn't matter. What matters is getting him out of here. I'll go talk to him." Then, she opened the door and stormed out, full of anger."Shirley!" Cynthia tried to stop her, but it was too late. Shirley treasured Cynthia. Even though they were unaware of what happened the first time, she would not allow Cynthia to be mistreated a second time. She was determined to chase Joshua away despite being terrified of his domineering presence! After all, who knew what he might do to Cynthia when they were alone?With these thoughts in mind, Shirley grabbed the suitcases and handed them to Joshua, who had just changed his shoes.Joshua was confused.What was going on?Shir

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.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1499
"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
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1497
"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
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1496
"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
