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

Cynthia had never been good at cooking, and being accustomed to solitude, she did not hire a servant to prepare her meals. Fortunately, she was either mostly traveling or working at the company, and in both cases, Moe was by her side. Hence, he would order her meals daily and supervise her eating habits. As for regular days, Cynthia mostly relied on familiar restaurants for takeout.During mealtime, Shirley secretly observed Joshua, wanting to confirm whether his amnesia was genuine. However, she found that this cautious and obedient person was completely different from the one who exuded an aloof aura before.It seemed like Joshua truly had amnesia.After lunch, Cynthia went to her study to attend to some work, leaving Shirley alone with Joshua in the living room. Shirley was not afraid of Joshua in this state, which led her to engage in conversation with him. "Why do you think my sister is your sister?""Sean said she's my sister," Joshua replied honestly.Shirley scolde

When Cynthia saw Shirley holding a baseball bat and glaring at Joshua, she was taken aback. "Shirley, what are you doing..."Shirley panicked and quickly hid the baseball bat behind her back, stammering, "Nothing..."She strongly suspected that Joshua had deliberately orchestrated this situation just to make Cynthia think she was going to hit him!How infuriating."Shirley was teaching me how to deal with bad people when I'm home alone," Joshua chimed in, being very cooperative and acting innocent.Shirley was left speechless.Cynthia approached them and reassured Joshua, "Even if I have something to attend to and can't be with you, I'll have bodyguards to protect you. You won't be alone.""Thank you, Cynthia." Joshua softened when talking to Cynthia, addressing her by name, "Cynthia…"Cynthia responded, "Hmm?""Can I not call you Auntie?" Joshua asked.Cynthia was puzzled. "Shirley said you're not my sister, and it's inappropriate to call you that, but... I don't want to

"He has the mentality of a five-year-old..." Cynthia coughed lightly, reminding Shirley.Shirley was extremely possessive of Cynthia and argued, "I don't care. If he's five years old, then I'm only three. If you pat his head, I'll cry!"How could Cynthia's ex-husband compete for her affection? Shirley would not let him!Cynthia lovingly ruffled Shirley's hair, looking amused as she thought how Shirley was just as adorable as when she was a child.Joshua initially felt a bit sad, but when he saw Cynthia smiling, he could not help but smile too. "Cynthia, you're smiling!""She's smiling because of me! It has nothing to do with you!" Shirley retorted."As long as Cynthia is happy, I'm happy," Joshua said sincerely. Shirley was taken aback. Looking at the innocent face before her, her cheeks suddenly felt hot, and complex emotions surged within her. This person in front of her may be Joshua, but he was only five. Five years old... Why was she arguing with a little kid?"

Cynthia considered it thoughtfully and said, "Put it in the gift box for the participants. After the lucky draw, announce that there is a mysterious gift among the participation prizes and see who gets it."This way, it would not cause too much commotion, and she could openly give it to Matthew.Moe agreed to each request. "Okay.""Will you attend this year's annual party?" Moe asked. In the past, Cynthia never attended the annual party, and Moe usually handled everything.Cynthia declined, "No, I'll go to the masquerade ball on the eighth floor."Whether it was Arch International Group or the Yates Group, she had never attended their annual parties. If Matthew had not mentioned the masquerade ball a few days ago, she probably would not have bothered with these matters.Moe has been mostly in charge of the Arch International Group since its establishment. "You..." Moe was surprised but quickly added, "Alright.""Momo.""Yes?" Cynthia did not want to tie him down to the com

Matthew glanced at Joshua sitting silently on the couch and said to Cynthia, "There's something I need your help with.""What is it?" Cynthia responded calmly."I want you to come back with me for the New Year and pretend to be my girlfriend," Matthew said.Cynthia was surprised. "Me?" Why not ask Gaby and Riley instead? I'm not very good at it." She gave a similar response the last time, never considering that Matthew had feelings for her. After all, meeting parents and making a good first impression was important. Cynthia was slow to warm up, and her personality was somewhat reserved. When she married Joshua, it was only after gradually getting to know his family that she became close with them."It's not good to be too good at this kind of thing," Shirley, who had been eavesdropping, chimed in. She really wanted Matthew to be with Cynthia. "You have to be not good at it.""You don't need to stay overnight, and it won't be long. You just need to meet them," Matthew said casu

After that, Matthew took Joshua and left the apartment, heading down. Cynthia was still worried about Joshua's condition as it did not seem like indigestion.Once Shirley noticed they had all left, she curiously asked Cynthia, "Cynthia, tell me the truth. If Matthew pursued you, would you accept?"Cynthia was taken aback. Matthew? Almost instantly, she responded, "No."The idea of being pursued by her captain did not even cross her mind. After all, she still vividly remembered the grueling training sessions, and she could not stand his methods.Even the thought of having a meal together felt somewhat unreal."Why not?" Shirley was confused. "Matthew is good-looking, treats you well, and he's gentle. Isn't he a good choice?" Cynthia carefully pondered before saying, "Some people are better suited as friends."It was not just her, but even Gaby and Riley would not dare to entertain such thoughts. If Cynthia did not know what it was like to be trained by Matthew, she might

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

"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
