"Well…" Matthew glanced at Mitchell and said to Cynthia, "How about I show you a meteor shower?""A meteor shower?" Cynthia looked slightly puzzled.Matthew did not explain further; he just led her to gaze at the star-studded night sky.Mitchell quickly sent a command, and the entire sky was filled with a meteor shower in no time."A meteor shower?!""Did Captain arrange this?""How is this even possible?"Jimmy and the others were taken aback. After all, this was not written in the plan they were holding! "This is..." Cynthia was also quite surprised. She had only seen meteor showers in videos and had never witnessed one. Nonetheless, this display was hardly different from what she had seen online; it was as if a genuine meteor shower was taking place."A meteor shower just for you." Matthew gently squeezed her hand, pouring all his affection and love into the gesture. "For the rest of our lives, I'll make all your wishes come true." "Captain..." Cynthia's emotions were co
"Can't figure it out?" Matthew asked.Cynthia remained quiet."Do you need me to help you figure it out?""I'm going to bed," Cynthia promptly evaded.Matthew stood up and carried her, playfully saying, "I'll carry you upstairs."Cynthia did not refuse. As they headed upstairs, her mind was still replaying his words during the proposal: intrigued at first sight, interest at second sight, and love at third sight.Did he not give them a hard time the first time they met? The second and third times seemed quite similar, too—both involved him training them.Could this… actually be love?Matthew noticed her deep in thought and knew she was pondering about this matter. He did not explain the details to her. Except for their first meeting in their childhood, only he knew about their subsequent encounters. Hence, Cynthia could not possibly guess it, no matter how hard she tried."Do you want me to carry you to the bathroom?" Matthew asked as he looked at Cynthia.Cynthia immediately
For anyone else, Cynthia could handle it with ease. Yet, her heart seemed to be in turmoil at that moment, unsure of how to process it all. Nonetheless, she did not dwell on it too much, nor did she have the time to, brushing it off as being overly cautious.However, when Matthew formally confessed his feelings to her, Cynthia could not bring herself to refuse. It became clear to her that she had gradually developed feelings for him through their interactions. This was not love at first sight but rather an affection that grew over time."Why so quiet? What are you thinking about?" Riley urged."Nothing." Cynthia's thoughts were scattered, and she responded faintly, "I'm not sure when I started liking him, but when he confessed to me, I knew I liked him.""You've got quite the courage. If it were me, I would have fled a long time ago," Gaby spoke earnestly.Cynthia used to think the same way, but the reality was that no one could resist Matthew's charms.Gentleness and respect w
"What..." Yoel was taken aback.Joshua lowered his gaze, his expression unreadable. "Should I have chosen a conventional marriage back then?"He believed that Cynthia was well-rounded, knowledgeable, and shared many interests with him. They got along in various aspects, and his initial impression of her was quite positive. Thus, after contemplating for a few days, he decided to marry her in haste.In their circle, most marriages were arranged for business purposes. Joshua did not want that and was not willing to settle for it. So, he opted for someone he genuinely admired.Yet now... he was questioning whether his initial decision had been a mistake.Yoel calmly analyzed and explained, "There's no 'should' or 'shouldn't' in matters like these. If both of you felt it was right, then a whirlwind marriage is perfectly normal. In today's society, individuals of your age are bombarded with family pressures for arranged marriages."Meeting up for blind dates and getting engaged or marr
"Joshua," Sean suddenly spoke. Joshua looked at him, still indifferent. Sean pursed his lips. After careful consideration, he continued, "You should see a psychologist. If you don't mind, I can do it for free.""No need." "You know well that you need it." "Mr. Neal, give it a try." Since returning from Nexuria last time, Yoel could feel Joshua was obviously in a bad state."Hypnosis is no longer very effective for you. You need to be mentally healthy before everything else can return to normal," Sean said."I'm fine. There's no need for that." Joshua was very clear about his physical condition. Sean felt that this person was too stubborn!"I know you feel guilty, regretful, and self-blaming because of what happened in the past. But Cynthia has completely let go, and you have made up for your past mistakes with your life. You don't have to blame yourself anymore. As for what happened later, I caused that, and there is no need to keep it in your heart," Sean said directly t
"Once the contract is terminated, I won't be at your beck and call anymore. Even if you offer me a few billion, I might not come," Sean reminded Joshua.Joshua simply replied, "Terminate the contract."Yoel immediately went to prepare the necessary. Sean felt Joshua was ridiculously stubborn! As Yoel handed over the termination contract, Sean did not sign it immediately. Instead, he returned the contract, saying, "I'll give you a month to think it over. If you still want to terminate the contract after a month, I'll sign it.""No need. Just sign it now." Joshua had no intention of dragging this out with him.Sean stood up and left, ignoring him completely.Yoel was taken aback by Sean's response, unsure what to do next. "Mr. Neal…""Keep the contract and give it to him the next time he's here.""Yes, Mr. Neal."After doing as he was told, Yoel noticed that Joshua was obviously exhausted, and he weighed his words carefully before chiming in, "You should listen to Dr. Carte
"You're Dr. Carter, right?" Daphne spoke gently, a soft smile on her face.Sean hesitated, his gaze shifting back and forth between the two individuals as he tentatively asked, "I am. And you are..."Although they seemed familiar, he could not quite place them."We're Joshua's parents. We've come for you," Felix introduced, his demeanor both gentle and sincere. Sean was surprised, wondering why Joshua's parents were looking for him."Would it be convenient for you to join us for a meal? We have something we'd like to discuss with you," Felix asked politely."Of course. After you," Sean responded.He accompanied Felix and Daphne to the restaurant. Once they arrived at their private room, they ordered the dishes. Sean sat there, growing curious. "What is it that you wanted to discuss with me?""We want to know what's going on with Joshua," Daphne cut to the chase, her tone growing more serious. Sean was taken aback. On the one hand, he should probably give Joshua's parents a
Daphne frowned upon hearing that, and she was obviously concerned.Gastritis... and still sleeping so little."I wanted him to undergo therapy to open up, but he refused," Sean revealed."Is it related to Cynthia?" Felix's expression barely changed as he posed this question."Mmhmm."Felix and Daphne exchanged a glance, each harboring their own emotions. Since the moment Cynthia completely cut ties with him, they knew Joshua would need a long time to heal. However, they did not expect that... his physical health would deteriorate to this extent."Thank you for telling us." Felix did not press further."In fact, I have a way to improve his condition immediately," Sean added. He genuinely cared about Joshua's well-being and sincerely wished for his recovery. "But if I tell him, he'll definitely refuse."Felix inquired, "What is it?""Erasing all memories associated with Cynthia. As long as he no longer holds those memories, his life will return to normal, and he won't continue d
