"Yes." Cynthia nodded."Well, go ahead and tell me. What's my nickname?" Matthew thought she was trying to scare him and smiled charmingly."Really?""Yeah.""Daisy," Cynthia blurted out.Tracy had said that Matthew did not like that nickname as it was obviously a girl's, and he forbade anyone from using it after he turned five. He even got into a fight with Zayn over it. Tracy had meant to name her daughter Daisy as she loved daisies and their meaning. Besides, Matthew was such a pretty boy that many often mistook him for a girl when he was younger. Hence, Tracy thought it was harmless to use the name of him.Matthew froze, but he quickly regained his composure. Then, he asked, "My mom really told you?""Mmhmm." Cynthia nodded, gauging his mood. "Auntie Tracy said she would've named her daughter Daisy, and she only called you that because you were a good-looking kid, often mistaken for a girl."Matthew rubbed his brow with his hand, exasperated at how Tracy sold him out with

Cynthia was well aware of what Matthew meant."Just an hour, okay?" Matthew ruffled her hair, adding, "Take a bath and rest early later."Cynthia agreed.After dinner that night, Cynthia asked Matthew if he had any childhood photos. Listening to his stories about his past with Zayn, she suddenly became curious about how he looked as a child. Did he look similar to how he looked now or completely different?"Want to see photos?""I do."Matthew was also interested in her photos and said, "You have to show me yours too."Cynthia readily agreed. She went to her place and brought back one of the photo albums that contained pictures of her family. There were photos of her and Shirley from infancy to a few years ago. What was originally a simple exchange to see each other's childhood turned into something more for Matthew when he saw Cynthia's photos.Holding up one of the pictures, he asked her, "Is this you?""Yes, when I was around two years old." Cynthia recognized it at a

After arriving at the holiday area, they set up their tents next to Cynthia's. The two families chatted together, and Cynthia grew fond of Matthew. After Katherine taught her to call him 'Matty', she continued using the sweet and gentle nickname. Later, the adults chatted happily while he kept her company and played with her. Cynthia's giggles rang out like a cheerful melody."Have you fallen for my looks since then?" Matthew teased as he noticed her still studying the photo.Cynthia was annoyed. After all, how could a two-year-old child possibly be concerned about someone's appearance? Most likely, they just played with whoever was fun."Young kids aren't into looks. It's probably because you were easygoing, and that's why I played with you," Cynthia defended herself."But why were you giggling at me all the time?"Cynthia remained quiet. "And why did you hold onto my finger?"Cynthia did not answer him. "Calling me 'Matty' with a sweet tone."At this point, Cynthia was

Matthew's eyes glimmered as he pulled out his phone and sent a message to Tracy.[Matthew: Why didn't you arrange a marriage for me when I was young?]"If they had, maybe he and Cynthia would have been childhood sweethearts.[Tracy: What?][Tracy: Did you have a fight with Cyn?][Matthew: No, everything's fine. We were just talking about this just now, so I asked you.][Tracy: I actually wanted to arrange a marriage for you, but you didn't agree to it back then.][Tracy: When you were seven, we met a little girl around two years old when we went out to the countryside resort. You were reluctant to part with her. Your dad and I hardly ever saw you like someone that much, so we considered talking to the girl's family. But you were the one who stopped us, remember?]"Reading these messages, Matthew started to recall this incident faintly. He did… seem to stop it. Back then, Matthew did not believe that an arranged marriage would result in anything. He felt that if they were me

"No. Only without your presence did I rule the playground," Cynthia responded, sounding certain as she spoke.Cynthia could not imagine what would happen if their marriage had been arranged since she was young. After all, she disliked being spoiled by others and preferred to stand on her own. She always felt that depending on others was unreliable, and only when she had real abilities would she have full confidence.If Matthew had always protected her, she might have grown up as a pampered child, a personality that would not suit her."That impressive, huh?""Yes.""Well, I do feel a little regretful," Matthew suddenly blurted out.Cynthia was slightly puzzled as she thought he had already come to terms with it. Why was he expressing regret again?"If our marriage were arranged since then, I'd have had a little tag-along following me around, calling me 'Matty' every day. I'd definitely be quite pleased," Matthew teased.Cynthia remained quiet.It seemed that Matthew would no

"Yes.""This is it?""This is it."With Cynthia's confident response, Riley and Gaby felt reassured. They still had several days until June 12th, so there was time to inform Matthew about the proposal plan."There's just one issue that hasn't been resolved… " Cynthia looked at the plan in her hands, and the most critical part still lacked absolute certainty. "I don't know how to get Captain to agree to meet me.""Isn't that a simple matter?" Jimmy blurted out. Why would Matthew refuse when Cynthia was the one asking? "It's not. In fact, it's quite challenging. For a proposal, I need him to attend in formal attire," Cynthia replied, considering every aspect.He would suspect something if he needed to attend in formal attire. However, there was no other way. "That's simple." Riley and Gaby took charge as they knew the plans from both sides. "Leave it to us. You just need to cooperate with us in telling a little lie, and we guarantee we'll get Captain to agree to meet you.""Re

"The plan clearly states everything. Get to work quickly; don't stand here pretending to be clueless and slacking off," Linus ordered.Jimmy was still confused. Nonetheless, he picked up the plan they had given him and glanced at it. Once confirmed that it was indeed Matthew's proposal plan for Cynthia, his eyes widened in shock.Cynthia was also proposing on the same day!"Don't spill the beans to Cyn about this. When the time comes, Riley and Gaby will come up with a reason to get Cyn out. Don't blow the cover," Mitchell came over and cautioned, adjusting his glasses.Jimmy was a bit dazed. Riley and Gaby knew that Cynthia would propose to Matthew that day, so why were they helping Matthew?"What's wrong?" Mitchell noticed Jimmy was worried."I remember Cynthia seemed to have something busy to do that day. Can Riley and Gaby really get her out?" Jimmy tentatively began, trying to gauge whether Mitchell and the others knew about her plan."They can. They've got it figured out,"

As for Cynthia, she went to find Rebecca and Zayn after setting the date. Both of them were deeply shocked to hear that she would propose to Matthew. Zayn even thought he had misheard her. "Are you sure you're proposing to Matthew, not the other way around?""Mmhmm." Cynthia nodded."Why?""What do you mean?""Is it because Matthew isn't proposing to you, so you're proposing to him?""No." Cynthia knew Matthew would definitely propose to her later, but she also wanted to tell him she liked him too. "I want to be with him, so I proposed."Zayn was a bit jealous. In a sense, he believed that a man should propose. However, if he found out that his beloved was planning to propose to him as well, he would be overjoyed. After all, that was true consideration, surpassing countless sweet words."When the time comes, please help me deliver the flowers. The specific plan for the 12th will be discussed when we all meet. Riley and the others will let you know," Cynthia explained. She came

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.
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
