Chapter 648

Author: Little Treasure
The place he least wanted to be was beside his father.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Your mother wants to talk to you. She asked me to call you over. You know well what should be said and what should not," Felix stated his intent, adding that the issue with the online video had been handled.

Joshua was about to retort when Felix continued, "If you purposefully say something wrong, not to mention me, Cynthia won't forgive you either. She and your mother are on good terms."

Joshua fell silent. It seemed Felix always had Cynthia to keep him in check.

Under protest, he still ended up going with Felix.

After Joshua's video was posted online, the level of discussion gradually decreased. The video also conveyed to the public that the rumors of Joshua's accident were false.

The rumors were finally dispelled.

In the following few days, other topics eclipsed Joshua's presence in the trending discussions. He gradually disappeared from the heat of online gossip. Gossip still o

    He did not even know what to say. Cynthia, who was busy thinking about how to help Captain deal with his parents, asked, "Captain, do your parents have any personality requirements for your partner? Do I need to act?" "No need. Just be yourself." Matthew glanced at her while continuing to drive. "Will I mess things up for you?" "No." Having received these answers, Cynthia did not ask further. Two hours later, the car stopped at a hacienda. After getting out of the car, Matthew handed the car keys to a security guard at the entrance. He then opened the passenger side door and helped Cynthia out. Despite her nervousness, Cynthia kept her feelings hidden. She had always been worried about Captain not having enough money or something similar, but judging from what she saw today, Captain was not short of money. There was no shortage whatsoever. The value of this hacienda was also counted in billions. Cynthia stepped in with him, gazing at the blue-brick, grey-tiled buil

    "I've already checked. Don't worry, everything is well-prepared." At that moment, Matthew had already brought Cynthia to his room. He seldom returned home. However, the room was still impeccably clean, reflecting the constant care of the housekeepers. "I didn't expect them to be so welcoming. They must be really excited to meet you." Matthew poured her a cup of hot tea, his tone steady and unhurried. "What do we do next time?" Cynthia asked directly. It took Matthew a moment to respond. "What do you mean by 'next time'?" "We can pretend once, but we can't pretend twice. What if they ask about you during the holidays, how would you answer?" Cynthia took a sip of the hot tea, maintaining her poise. This was indeed a problem, one that Matthew had not fully considered. His previous idea was to let Cynthia impersonate his girlfriend for this visit and then proceed with his strategy, hopefully turning Cynthia into his real girlfriend. Looking at their current progress, it w

    The following conversions mostly revolved around Matthew's childhood. Tracy truly regarded Cynthia as her daughter-in-law and eagerly shared various interesting stories about Matthew. She also inquired about how they met, and Cynthia did not hide anything. When Tracy learned that Cynthia had been a teammate of Matthew's, she immediately felt sorry for her. "My poor baby… Matt is tough when it comes to training. You must have gone through a lot under his hands.""It's alright. His strict training was for our own good," Cynthia assured the concerned Tracy."You can't bully Cyn anymore, got it?" Tracy reminded Matthew.Matthew enjoyed this, and he nodded with a smile. "Got it.""Let's eat first," Tracy urged as she held Cynthia's hand, showing her affection. "I wasn't sure what you liked. When I asked Matt, he said you weren't picky, so I made various dishes.""Thank you," Cynthia responded.During the meal, Cynthia sat next to Tracy and Matthew. At first, everyone was just eati

    Hank quickly retrieved the gift and told Tracy, "Let's go! We might still catch up to them."However, when they reached the doorstep, the car's tail lights were already out of sight. They both felt uneasy, fearing they might have left a bad impression on Cynthia. It was her first time visiting their home, and they did not show proper hospitality.Matthew was really a little rascal.Tracy thought it over and hurriedly texted Matthew, [Prepare another gift for Cyn and say it's from us. You both left too quickly, and we didn't get a chance to give her the one we prepared.]When Matthew received this message, he had already driven quite a distance. He was driving and talking to Cynthia at the same time, "Thanks for today.""You're welcome," Cynthia replied. However, she decided never to help Matthew pretend to be his girlfriend again. After all, Tracy treated her so well. If she found out later that it was all an act, it might hurt her feelings."What's wrong?" Matthew caught a gli

    Most importantly, when Cynthia first met the retired Matthew, why did she think he was unfamiliar with society? Why did she develop the idea of guiding him?"Getting some experience, adjusting to society. Although the Quier Group is my family's business, if I, someone who knows nothing, were to inherit it, what do you think the old-timers in the company would say?" Matthew continued his playful nonsense.Cynthia pondered and thought they might not be too friendly toward Matthew..."When I fully adapt to this society and understand management better, I'll return to inherit it. It's better for both me and the Quier Group," Matthew spoke in a lighthearted tone. His pleasant and magnetic voice was soothing."That makes sense," Cynthia agreed with the reasoning.Matthew was amused at the naive yet adorable Cynthia.Cynthia genuinely trusted him. "Here's the deal. After the New Year, you can become the Executive President of Arch International Group, with Momo and me assisting you. I

    This was so worrying!While they were chatting, Cynthia was already urged by Matthew to enter the house. After changing her shoes, she looked at the two standing by the window.Confused, Cynthia asked, "What are you doing over there?""Checking out my future brother-in-law.""Checking out my future son-in-law."The words slipped out of their mouths, and they both reddened with embarrassment. Jonathan coughed lightly and hurriedly explained, "Well, he treats you well and could be considered as a candidate for a future son-in-law."Cynthia was at a loss for words. As she went upstairs, she replied, "He's just my captain."Then, she changed her clothes and returned downstairs.Shirley rushed over, smiling innocently, asking, "Cynthia, did your fake-girlfriend act go smoothly today?""Pretty well.""Will you do it again next time?""No. It's not good to keep fooling others."Shirley exchanged a glance with Jonathan. Jonathan thought it was time to educate Cynthia as he di

    "It's a complicated process, but also a very important part of one's life," Shirley explained and asked, "Didn't you experience it while studying?"With Cynthia's appearance and personality, many people should have confessed their feelings to her. It did not make sense.Cynthia pondered and replied, "No."Actually, there were.During her school years, Cynthia dedicated all her time to serious studying. Apart from classroom knowledge, she was busy with various competitions and challenges. She carried study books to school every day and left with only her own books. As for those love letters and such, she never paid them any attention. Cynthia seemed to have always been on a different wavelength from her peers. From a young age, she was responsible, mature, and self-taught in many subjects during high school.As a result, her relationship history was quite blank."So, you never liked anyone?" Shirley asked.Cynthia questioned earnestly, "Does Joshua count? I did like him.""H

    Moses was also there.Joshua calmly followed Cynthia's instructions.Old Man Neal, having a good understanding of chess styles by now, remarked, "You little rascal, when did you learn Cynthia's moves? Did you secretly play chess with Cynthia all these months in Nexuria?""Knowing that you miss her, I studied her playing style, so I can accompany you on her behalf," Joshua said convincingly."Hmph." Old Man Neal had already returned to his usual self with Joshua. "If only you had listened to me from the beginning, you'd still be married. What a fool.""Yes, you're right," Joshua complied obediently.Old Man Neal glared at him.This was not fun! Before, he could vent his anger properly, but now, Joshua's simple agreement had effectively shut down any further scolding.It was simply frustrating!They played two more rounds, and toward the end, Old Man Neal was clearly distracted. "Do you... still want to win Cynthia back?" "Yes.""Aren't you afraid of getting rejected?"

    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
