Chapter 739

Author: Little Treasure
Cynthia's heart was in turmoil, and she could not find the right words to respond to Matthew's teasing remark. She realized that lonely people could easily become entangled in desires when they were in love, unable to resist temptations.

In her case, Matthew was the epitome of temptation.

"I'll go prepare the honey water for Kendrick. Go and watch TV," Matthew said, trying to suppress his urges.

"Okay," Cynthia replied softly.

Matthew's deep gaze lingered on her before he mustered the willpower to turn away. He gently patted her head before taking the honey and heading to the kitchen to prepare the drink.

Once the honey water was ready, he brought it to Kendrick's room. Kendrick was sitting on the bed. His eyes looked complicated as he watched Matthew approach.

It seemed like he was harboring some displeasure.

"I saw it," Kendrick said.

Matthew was not surprised. When he heard the footsteps earlier, he knew Kendrick had seen them too.

"You're bullying Cyn," Kendrick added.

    Cynthia could understand why Matthew wanted her to change her way of addressing him, but she could not come up with a suitable alternative immediately. When she returned home, Shirley paused the variety show and asked nosily, "Cynthia, did you really become official with Matthew yesterday.""Mmhmm.""What do you feel? Are you so happy that you're bursting with joy?" Shirley was genuinely curious."It feels very comfortable and reassuring," Cynthia replied simply.Thinking that Shirley was also in a relationship now, Cynthia decided to ask her about the issue of addressing each other."How do you and Zachary call each other?""Huh?" "I mean, the names you use privately, just between the two of you."Shirley pursed her lips and hesitated to answer. While they often called each other sweetly, saying it out loud now felt a bit embarrassing."Baby or something like darling," Shirley finally confessed, feeling embarrassed.Cynthia froze as she imagined calling Matthew by those nam

    June was puzzled, not understanding what went wrong. After some careful pondering, she concluded that Cynthia must have been by Matthew's side when the call came. She must have grabbed the phone and blocked her to prevent her from saying anything.June had considered sending a message instead, but she decided against it, fearing that Cynthia might stir up trouble again.Matthew ignored the matter. He was also not worried about June telling his parents, Hank and Tracy. They were not the type to easily believe others without knowing the whole story. From their previous interactions with Cynthia, it was evident that they liked her.After finishing his nighttime routine, Matthew lay on his bed with his phone and thought about Cynthia. Then, he sent her a message, [Good night, my love.]However, Cynthia did not see the message. She was not much into using her phone and had put it away before sleeping. On top of that, she had activated the do-not-disturb mode at night, muting all messa

    "If you're just a rich kid who knows nothing but enjoying yourself, you might never find true love," Cynthia said,Kendrick instinctively denied it, "Impossible! With my looks, I can definitely find someone.""Are you as handsome as Captain?"Shirley chimed in to answer, "No."Kendrick was taken aback. "You two little brats!"Cynthia continued to persuade him, "Your looks and wealth may attract people to date you, but these advantages won't keep someone around for the long haul. Once someone better-looking and wealthier comes along, your appeal will reduce."Kendrick gave it a thought. While her words made some sense, he felt something was off."Managing the Yates Group is more than just a position. Between a President of a listed company and a lazy trust fund baby, which one do you think is more attractive?" Cynthia skillfully manipulated. "Obviously, the CEO," Kendrick blurted out. He realized that being a lazy trust fund baby had an uncertain future, and they would have

    "Do it or castrate yourself. As a man, you can't be untrustworthy!" Kendrick said with absolute seriousness, without any hesitation. "Then I guess you should continue serving as the President of the Yates Group," Matthew teased with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.Kendrick was utterly perplexed. "What do you mean?"Matthew took out his phone and played the recording from last night."Kendrick, do you want Cynthia to suffer?""No, I don't.""Do you want Cynthia to be exhausted all the time?""No, I don't.""If that's the case, how about continuing to manage the Yates Group?""Alright!" As the recording ended, Kendrick felt like a thunderbolt had struck him on the head. When did this happen? Why did he have no recollection of it?"Cyn…" Kendrick wanted to cry, and his fondness for Matthew plummeted rapidly. "I'll find another boyfriend for you. This one's too ruthless! I disapprove!"After all, he was Cynthia's cousin. How could Matthew be so heartless and play such

    Cynthia really could not win against Matthew.Kendrick was annoyed that Cynthia was looking down on him. He scoffed and approached Matthew, whispering, "If you come home with me now, I'll tell you about Cyn's childhood and help you win over Uncle Jonathan and the others."Matthew did not respond. If he liked Cynthia, gaining her family's approval was something he should do himself, not rely on others."I'll tell you what she likes," Kendrick continued, hoping to sway him."I already know what she likes. We just got together, and it's not worth being apart for a few months for the things you mentioned," Matthew replied confidently, knowing Cynthia no less than Kendrick did.Kendrick's face fell, wondering why Matthew was not falling for the tricks."That's enough. Just manage the company. I'll fully support you emotionally," Shirley chimed in."Go away," Kendrick scolded her.Seeing that there was no chance of success, Kendrick did not insist anymore. Nonetheless, he had alrea

    "I won't do that anymore." Joshua stared blankly at the ceiling, his voice hoarse and weary. How could he dare to deceive her again? When he woke up, his mind was flooded with fragments, revealing the trouble he had caused her during his memory loss period. He also found out that she was now with Matthew.When Sean heard his response, he froze."Are you... okay?""Why did you involve her?" Joshua slowly sat up from the bed. As he looked at Sean, he seemed to transform back into the cool and aloof person he used to be. "This was just a deal between you and me."He felt guilty for what happened in the past, which was why he was willing to risk everything as long as she was safe and well. However, he never expected that Sean would involve Cynthia during his memory loss, and so much happened."I just wanted to challenge myself with a high degree of difficulty. Besides, the initial agreement didn't say that I couldn't involve her. You only said not to do anything illegal," Sean exp

    "Okay," Yoel agreed immediately. He led him out of Sean's medical facility, opening the door to the backseat for him.On their way back, Yoel occasionally glanced at the rearview mirror. He was concerned about one thing— Was the current Joshua really the one who regained his memories?"Did you give Cynthia the things you prepared for her?" Joshua suddenly asked.Yoel immediately replied, "Not yet.""Throw it away.""Huh?""Throw it away. There's no need to give it to her," Joshua said indifferently.He knew clearly that Josiah was not some alter ego; it was just himself, guided by the psychological suggestion that Sean implanted during his amnesia. He was Joshua, not some Josiah.Yoel thought about the item Joshua had given him for Cynthia and felt a bit conflicted. "Are you sure you want to throw it away?""Yes," Joshua lightly uttered.It was a letter he had written to Cynthia, expressing that he was becoming the old Joshua again and hoping she would remember that someone

    At that moment, Joshua felt his world crashing. The sight of their interlocked fingers felt painfully glaring to him."Why are you just sitting here and not going up?" Cynthia sensed his emotional fluctuation but did not attribute it to his memory being restored.Joshua could not bring himself to say anything. He slowly stood up. Even though they were only a few steps apart, it felt like a thousand miles between them."Yoel had something to do nearby, so I accompanied him here. You used to be asleep by this time. Why..." Joshua said hoarsely, and he stared at Cynthia's beautiful face. He stopped himself before finishing the sentence.Whatever she wanted to do seemed to have nothing to do with him anymore. He no longer had the right to inquire about her life."I'm out for a walk," Cynthia explained. She was not used to night walks, but Matthew thought she spent too much time at home and barely went out, so he took her for a stroll around the neighborhood.Joshua nodded.Mat

    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
