"Captain?" Cynthia looked a bit puzzled, wondering why he came to her room.Matthew stepped inside and closed the door, his gaze falling on the envelope in her hand. Smiling, he asked, "What's in the envelope? Show me.""No way!" Cynthia quickly moved the envelope behind her back.Step by step, Matthew approached her, and Cynthia kept retreating. However, her back was against the wall before she knew it.Matthew slightly leaned in, narrowing the distance between them. "What are you hiding from me?" "I'm not telling you.""Are you sure?""Absolutely.""You know I can easily snatch it from you," Matthew stated a somewhat harsh reality, grinning. "Are you sure you won't show me?"Cynthia could not argue against that. After all, Matthew was taller, stronger, and more agile; she had no chance."No, I won't show you. If you try to take it, I'll be mad. I won't talk to you for three days," Cynthia reasoned, though she felt a bit uncertain."Is that a threat?" Matthew chuckled.Cy

Was it that obvious?"They didn't tell you?" Matthew teased, pinching her cheek. He could not help but wonder why he did not notice earlier that she was scheming something."I didn't ask.""Still pretending?""I really didn't ask," Cynthia replied with a serious expression.Matthew chuckled. If they had not been spending so much time together recently, he might have fallen for her act if he did not know she had become quite cunning."I did ask about something else. But Auntie Tracy didn't tell me. She only mentioned that your nickname is related to a girl's name, and it's really easy to guess. Besides that, she didn't say anything," Cynthia admitted, but not fully.Matthew pondered, clearly trying to figure out if she was being genuine or pulling his leg.Cynthia's acting skills were on point now, and she appeared genuinely curious as she asked, "So, what's your nickname?""Are you that curious?""Yes.""I'll tell you on our wedding day.""Captain."Matthew remained silent

"I just wanted to check if your alertness had decreased after some time without training. Seems like you're fine," Matthew said seriously while maintaining his carefree demeanor.Cynthia was a bit baffled, still groggy from being abruptly woken up. Over the past two years, they had not been assigned any missions, so why was he testing her out of the blue?"Go back to sleep. I'll head out." Matthew tried to slip away.Cynthia stopped him. "Wait."Matthew naturally stopped, showing no signs of guilt as he asked, "What is it?""Are you really only here to test my alertness?" Cynthia slowly caught up and began to find the situation strange."Yes.""And there's no other reason?""Nope.""If there is, our marriage will fail," Cynthia threatened. Matthew was surprised. Why would Cynthia say something like that?Cynthia waited for his response."That's not a nice thing to say," Matthew corrected, his mind racing to come up with a cover.Cynthia immediately understood that Matth

The response from the other side came quickly as well. [At least three months.][Matthew: Okay.]Matthew believed three months would be sufficient for him to finalize his proposal plans. As long as Cynthia hinted even slightly that she wanted to marry him, he would immediately set the proposal in motion.After attending to these matters, he messaged the group without Cynthia, asking if they had inquired when Cynthia might want to get married.Almost instantly, Matthew received a reply.[Riley: You can propose anytime.][Matthew: ?][Matthew: What do you mean?]Without hesitation, Riley spilled the beans about Cynthia's ideas, but not entirely.[Riley: I asked her and Gaby about this matter before. From what she said, as long as you propose, she's ready anytime.]Matthew was surprised to read the message and quickly asked, [Are you sure you didn't misunderstand?][Riley: Absolutely sure and certain.]Staring at those words, Matthew toyed with his phone while contemplating.

Matthew glanced at Cynthia, wondering if she was simply asking a question or subtly implying that she had doubts about last night's events."Based on last night, I think we have some work to do," Cynthia stated earnestly.Matthew chuckled. Since they got together, she had questioned his abilities several times, and her skepticism was quite evident."We'll know when we try it. I'm just worried that you might have other objections when the time comes," Matthew responded in an alluring tone.Cynthia was embarrassed, suspecting that Matthew was teasing her. Knowing she could not win an argument with him, she kept her head down and focused on her breakfast.Once she arrived at the office, she replied to Riley's message.Riley immediately called Cynthia and asked, "When you plan to propose, just let us know, and we'll be there in a heartbeat.""Just don't tell Mitchell and the others, but you can tell Jimmy about it," Cynthia reminded Riley as she felt that Mitchell could not be trust

If there was one noticeable change, it was that their possessiveness toward each other had grown significantly. They were even more invested in making each other happy.Other than that, not much has really changed. Then again...Riley's words had struck a chord with Cynthia. Matthew had been single for thirty long years, and there were certain things he could not keep suppressing. Once the proposal went through, she had made up her mind—she was going to sleep with him. If only Matthew knew about her playful plan, he would surely be amused. The anticipation of her intentions would keep him excited.Unfortunately for him, he was clueless.In the days that followed, their routine remained quite ordinary. They went about their daily jobs until Cynthia found Matthew working overtime, handling the Quier Group's affairs. It was then she realized that he had been juggling two jobs just to spend more time with her."You should return to your post at the Quier Group starting next Mo

"With my eyes.""Are you going to watch her sneak around?"Cynthia was getting annoyed. "Exactly, I'll watch her sneak into someone else's house." She pushed back, matching his energy.Matthew pinched her waist lightly, playfully punishing her. "Who do you plan to sneak over to? Hmmm?""I'm not telling you!""Do you think they'll let you in?" Matthew did not need to guess to know she was referring to Riley and Gaby.Cynthia remained quiet, understanding that both Riley and Gaby would turn into cowards if Matthew were involved. Matthew held her firmly and teased, "With that attitude of yours, I won't return to the Quier Group. Staying by your side and keeping an eye on you personally seems better."Cynthia fell silent, and her long eyelashes fluttered as she asked, "Weren't we just joking earlier?""I took it seriously.""Oh."Matthew was surprised by her simple reply. Driven by her rebellious spirit, Cynthia decided to play along, "Well then, I've made up my mind too. I

The proposal, engagement, and wedding could be done in less than six months if things moved swiftly. With that in mind, Matthew decided to stop staying up late. Even though he did not know when he would officially have Cynthia as his wife, he wanted to be well-prepared for when she wanted children.Hence, it was time to stop burning the midnight oil. With that in mind, he decided to shut down his computer and sleep.However, just moments after lying down, Zayn's call came in. As Matthew answered, Zayn mischievously said, "I heard from Rebecca that Cynthia is asking about your nickname?"Matthew remained silent, but his expression somewhat darkened.Zayn laughed maniacally, feeling like he had scored a point. "I'm wondering if I should tell her. Your nickname sounds pretty good, after all.""If you like it so much, I'll give it to you," Matthew replied calmly."I won't take what's yours," Zayn said, thoroughly enjoying himself and not realizing the danger looming.Matthew s

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
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1501
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.
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money Chapter 1499
"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
