Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 612
Matthew knew that his parents would discuss his behavior at length after he ended the call, so he did not bother with further explanations. Regardless of his financial standing, he was, in fact, living off others at present. With these thoughts in mind, he opened Mrs. Quier's WhatsApp and sent a message. [I'll bring her home to meet you during the holidays.] In what felt like the blink of an eye, it was already afternoon. After lunch, Cynthia checked on Joshua's condition. Finding his fever had completely subsided, she felt greatly relieved. Joshua, who had not eaten lunch, had been sleeping heavily. Now that his fever had broken, he was starting to feel hungry. "Cynthia, I'm hungry," he mumbled. "There's some food saved for you. Get up and eat," she said. Captain had specifically left the meal. Cynthia had planned to prepare a simple meal for Joshua once he was better or perhaps order takeout. However, Captain had already left a portion for Joshua, ready to be eaten as soon

"Why don't you like him?" Cynthia asked. Joshua stayed silent. The reason was pretty straightforward. If Captain continued to stay close to Cynthia, there was a high chance that she might be taken away by him. Before he could stabilize his relationship with Cynthia, he could not afford to let that happen. "Is it that difficult to answer?" she asked, sensing his hesitation. "Before I answer that question, Cynthia, can I ask you one?" Joshua countered. "Go ahead." "If both Captain and I fell into the sea, and there were many venomous sea snakes in the water, and you could only save one of us, who would you choose to save?" Joshua's question was asked with utmost seriousness. Cynthia was left speechless by this outlandish question. Seeing her hesitation, Joshua pressed on, "You would save Captain, wouldn't you?" "I'd save you," Cynthia said without hesitation. She owed Joshua a life. If such a situation did arise, she would save him first. However, she would still find a w

Watching Joshua, Matthew raised an eyebrow. His deep voice was calm. "What's this about?" "I'm sorry," Joshua began reluctantly. There was no hint of reluctance on his face, however. "I lied to Cynthia yesterday and wronged you. I'm sorry." Matthew smiled slightly. "Is that sincere?" Cynthia was puzzled. What was Captain doing? "Mmhm." Joshua nodded. "To prove that you really are feeling guilty of your actions, summarize The Pilgrim's Progress for me in handwriting. I'll forgive you after you've done that." Matthew walked over and handed him a book. Joshua was at a loss for words. Matthew was truly hard to like. "Captain, what are you doing?" Cynthia's voice was softer. Confusion etched on her face. "Don't you think he needs to be educated? Let him summarize The Pilgrim's Progress and learn." Matthew wanted to see if Joshua would expose himself. The handwriting of an adult differed greatly from that of a child. He was interested to see how Joshua would do this.

Matthew did not show any signs of anger. Instead, he seemed to think that not only was Joshua a great actor, but he was also quick-witted. If it had not been for his past hurtful actions toward Cynthia, Matthew would have actually admired him. Joshua set down the spoon in his left hand, his voice and gaze betraying no flaws. "I've summarized The Pilgrims' Progress. Can you forgive me for my past mistakes?" "Of course. Admitting your mistakes and correcting them makes you a good child," Matthew responded calmly. Joshua did not really care about that. He just looked at Cynthia excitedly, with a bit of a coquettish tone, "Cynthia, he has forgiven me. Are you still mad at me?" "Not mad. Remember what I told you though. You cannot lie or falsely accuse anyone ever again. Understand?" Cynthia replied gently, her eyes soft yet complex. Joshua nodded. "Yes." "Good." "Cynthia." "Yes?" "Actually, I lied to you about something else." Joshua's gaze darkened slightly, and he hes

Joshua had paid the price by saving her. Compared to settling old scores, Cynthia felt as if she still owed him. As Joshua felt her warm hand, his sobbing gradually subsided, yet his desire to possess Cynthia intensified. "However…" He raised his head from her embrace, looking at her with a self-blaming expression. "What is it?" "There's another thing I lied to you about. This one's about me," Joshua admitted, his gaze falling. He had thought it through. Rather than having Yoel and Matthew expose him, he figured it was better to tell another lie half-truthfully. That way, even if Cynthia later found out the truth from Matthew or Yoel, her reaction wouldn't be too severe. Cynthia calmly accepted this. "Go ahead." "Once I reveal this, you'll definitely be angry, and you might even ignore me. Can you promise me, no matter what I reveal later, you won't abandon me?" Joshua gauged his tone perfectly, and his acting was top-notch. "Alright," Cynthia agreed. Just like any other

That way, she could return a healthy Joshua to Old Man Neal and Daphne sooner. With these thoughts, Cynthia's mood eased a bit. "When Yoel was discussing the past with me, I felt as if my mental age had shifted a bit. That's why I lied about going to fetch the cufflinks," Joshua confided, now that he knew she did not despise him. "So you lied to see Sean?" Cynthia frowned, seemingly confused about his approach. According to their earlier plan, she would have taken him to see Sean for a check-up that day anyway. Why would he lie and go alone? "Mm-hmm." Joshua nodded, cautiously testing Cynthia's boundaries and blaming Sean in the process, "Sean had told me earlier to seek him out if I felt uncomfortable in any way." Cynthia knitted her brows. Why had Sean not informed her? "Cynthia, are you angry?" Joshua was unsure of her reaction. "No." Cynthia decided she would have a serious talk with Sean, but before that, she needed to clear up something. "Why didn't you wait for me to

"Cynthia, why weren't you angry when I told you I'd regained some of my cognitive abilities? After all, I deceived you." Joshua's eyes flickered as he posed a question. "I would be upset if you continued to lie, but you told the truth in time. Moreover, regaining your cognitive abilities is a good thing. After observing you today, I had a suspicion about your mental state," Cynthia explained. "You knew I was recovering?" "I didn't know for sure, but I had my suspicions." "Cynthia, you're as smart as our neighbor, Matthew. He said I had recovered when he took me over yesterday. I didn't expect you to figure it out either." Joshua's choice of words changed, fitting his seventeen-year-old persona. Cynthia looked at Joshua. Captain knew about this? She asked for clarification, "What do you mean by that?" Joshua explained what had transpired before. Of course, after explaining, he remembered to justify himself, "Matthew said I had recovered. Initially, I wanted to admit it
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 619
Now, as she contemplated, she wondered if Captain had Joshua summarized The Pilgrim's Progress in the afternoon to see if his handwriting would give him away. After all, there was a distinct difference between an adult's handwriting and a child's. However, Joshua managed to conceal it perfectly. "Cynthia." Joshua's voice suddenly called out from outside. Opening the door, Cynthia asked, "What is it?" "I have something to ask you. I'm not sure if you're willing to listen." Joshua primarily wanted to buy Sean some time to think and make a decision. "Go ahead." "Do you like our neighbor, Matthew?" Cynthia was taken aback. What kind of question was this? Seeing the sincerity on Joshua's face, she could not help but recall his acting abilities. "Haven't I already answered that?" she reminded him. "I just want to confirm one more time. If Matthew were to confess his feelings to you, would you agree to be with him?" Joshua felt this was of utmost importance to him. "No, I wo
