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
