Chapter 573

Author: Little Treasure
Cynthia was surprised and asked, "Brother-in-law?"

Where did that term come from?

"Will you?" Joshua stubbornly demanded an answer.

"The question you're asking is meaningless. If you still want to know after you've healed, I'll tell you." Cynthia shifted the topic.

Not to mention that she was not even with Matthew, but even if they were together, he would not be Joshua's brother-in-law since she was not his sister.

Joshua's gaze dimmed instantly, clenching his hands slightly at his sides as a wave of sadness engulfed him.

Cynthia continued, "Go wash up and sleep."

Joshua pursed his lips, glanced at her, and noticed the composed Matthew nearby.

Another thought crossed his mind. "Cynthia."

"Yes?"

"It hurts..." He extended his injured hand, which had been scraped quite severely. The blister on his hand had been completely rubbed off, exposing the tender flesh and causing blood to seep.

Shirley frowned when she saw that, as she had not expected that a simple trip downstairs wou

    In the past, the organization had dealt with a child who initially clung to Cynthia, but back then, Cynthia would smile at the child, pat their head, and play with them, and the child liked her as expected. However, Joshua's behavior was too strange. After all, children had a much keener sense than adults of whether someone liked them. Clearly, Joshua did not feel much warmth from Cynthia, yet he stubbornly clung to her. It was truly strange."Could he be worried I won't want him anymore?" Cynthia guessed based on his previous reactions. "Is that why he behaves this way?"She wanted to treat him like any other child, but she was aware of their unique relationship. Being overly affectionate would not benefit Joshua much once he recovered. Hence, it was better to care for him, show concern, and maintain a distance."Let's ask Sean about it the day after tomorrow," Matthew added, uncertain as well.Cynthia agreed, and they continued to chat casually before she and Shirley retu

    Cynthia wanted to talk to Joshua again, sensing something was seriously wrong with him. However, Joshua showed no intention of having another conversation. After speaking, he silently returned to his room.Observing his behavior, Cynthia glanced at the time. It was only a little past eight in the evening, so she sent a message to Felix.[Uncle Felix, I want to ask about Joshua's childhood. Are you busy?]Shortly after sending the message, Felix called her."Uncle Felix," Cynthia instinctively addressed him.Felix stood on the balcony, wearing a robe. He spoke with a gentlemanly and mature demeanor. "Did Joshua cause you any trouble?""No, I want to know what he was like when he was five," Cynthia answered truthfully, as Joshua had been relatively well-behaved. "He was well-behaved and sensible. Even energetic and considerate," Felix recalled it vividly. Energetic?Cynthia glanced at the closed door.The current Joshua was not energetic at all."What is he like now?" Felix

    Joshua refused to call him Dad.Nonetheless, Felix had ways to deal with him. "If you don't, I'll tell Cynthia that you're being rude. Don't blame me if she sends you away."Joshua hesitated. "Dad," he reluctantly said."Did you really lose your memory?"Joshua did not answer. "You can't imagine how unlucky Cynthia is to have encountered you."Joshua still remained quiet, clearly annoyed."In a few days, I'll come to Nexruia and bring you back. You shouldn't disturb Cynthia and her family during the New Year." Felix probed the limits of his 'new son'. "No!" Joshua blurted out.Felix replied nonchalantly, "That's not for you to decide.""If you come to get me, I'll run away from home," Joshua threatened, though his demeanor was far less intimidating than before."Heh."Felix could not help but chuckle at his words. Looking out the window at the golden scenery, he casually remarked, "You speak as if you're at home."Joshua was at a loss for words! He was angry at Fel

    "No need," Joshua refused, looking gloomier than before.After realizing that Cynthia did not make the call, he returned to his room, never coming out again.Cynthia was curious about his reaction and was about to message Felix about their conversation. However, just a second before she sent the message, she received a call from him."Joshua went back to his room, right?" Felix asked.Cynthia scanned the living room and was surprised at Felix's accurate prediction. "Yes, he did."She began to wonder if there was some sort of remote surveillance."After the company's annual party in a couple of days, I'll come and see him. His current condition is quite different from when he was younger," Felix told her. Cynthia agreed, "Okay, please let me know when you're coming, and I'll arrange for someone to pick you up.""Alright." After the call ended, Cynthia started to worry. If it was just a simple case of amnesia and cognitive decline, she could take care of him as Sean had su

    "I want to know everything," Joshua replied."I can't help you, but your personal assistant should know. After all, he's practically with you 24/7, except when sleeping," Sean answered and suggested."Yoel?" Joshua remembered the person who called him Mr. Neal.Sean was somewhat surprised. "You remembered?""Cynthia took me to meet him." Joshua desperately wanted to remember as he did not understand what kind of past he had with Cynthia. Until tonight, he had believed everything Cynthia had told him.However, his intuition told him that Shirley truly disliked him, not just because he resembled someone."You can ask him about everything between you and Cynthia." Sean knew little about them, and Joshua taught him what to say to Cynthia.After getting the answer, Joshua ended the call without saying anything further.Sean did not pursue the matter and went back to sleep.Yoel was initially excited when he received Joshua's call at past five in the morning. Joshua finally rega

    "You don't have to go if you don't want to," Cynthia said, wanting to see how far Joshua could pretend. Then, she turned to Yoel and added, "Handle that matter you mentioned on your own. If you can't resolve it, I'll take responsibility for any losses."Yoel froze. How was he supposed to respond to that?"Go freshen up. I'll go wake up Shirley for breakfast," Cynthia continued while smoothly blocking the line of sight between Joshua and Yoel."Cynthia..." Joshua was stunned. He wanted to convey something to Yoel but realized his line of sight was completely blocked.If things continued like this, Yoel's trip would be in vain! Cynthia played along, "What's the matter?""Maybe I should still go. He came so early, so it must be something important," Joshua spoke as if he had carefully considered it, showing a newfound sense of maturity."Yes, that's right! It's really important!" Yoel hurriedly agreed.Cynthia looked at him, asking casually, "But didn't you say you didn't want

    Was he really not worth Cynthia's affection? Yoel felt a bit hesitant. "Well… Although you and Ms. Yates have only been married for two years, it's difficult to cover everything in one go, and it would take more than a day to discuss it all."Most importantly, what was the point of discussing all of this with Joshua when he had the mind of a five-year-old?"Focus on the key points," Joshua urged, doubting for the umpteenth time whether this person was truly his assistant. Why was he wasting so much time on something so simple? He could not compare to Sean at all.Yoel glanced at him and deliberated before recounting Cynthia and Joshua's meeting, marriage, divorce proposal, divorce, and events after the divorce. By the time he finished, it was already noon. Unbeknownst to him, Joshua's expression, demeanor, and even his gaze underwent subtle and gradual changes.When Yoel concluded, it was evident that Joshua's mental state was no longer that of a five-year-old."The situation is

    After all, he still could not bear Joshua's aura. Yoel then reluctantly sent the news to Cynthia.Cynthia was eating when she saw this message. She wanted to call him, but considering that Joshua might be by his side, she replied: [What did you talk about.]Yoel saw her message, and so did Joshua."Did I not tell you to not let her know about it?" Joshua said slowly."This is definitely a misunderstanding," Yoel assured, and quickly explained, "Under normal circumstances, when one sends this message, the other party will subconsciously ask what was talked about."Joshua wanted to expose him, but found that what he said seemed to make sense.He stretched out his hand, "Give me the phone.""Boss...""Give it to me.""Do not send random messages," Yoel reluctantly handed over the phone.At this moment, he also realized a problem, his boss would not have a dual personality or split personality, would he?!He definitely was acting in a strange way. Joshua did not care what he w

    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
