Joshua frowned, looking at Felix with surprise and bewilderment as if he had not expected those words to come from his own father's mouth.Felix maintained his casual tone, saying, "Don't look at me like that. Erasing your memories to bring you back to normal might alleviate my beloved wife's worries.""You can't erase them," Joshua said firmly."Of course, I can't. I'm not a doctor. But Sean can," Felix responded naturally.Upon hearing this, Joshua's expression became complicated. At that moment, he could not determine if Felix was joking or if he truly harbored such thoughts."Give me a month. I'll take care of myself properly," Joshua stepped back, speaking slowly."One month later, you'll get a check-up and then show us the medical report. If everything's normal, we'll leave you alone," Felix warned.Joshua did not answer him.How could anything be normal? He was merely trying to put on a facade for them."Are you afraid?" Felix inquired."No one would dare to agree to s
"Isn't that normal?" Sean's heart raced, panic evident in his voice."No matter what my parents told you, if you dare touch my memories without my consent, I'll blow up all your bases," Joshua threatened.His parents were convinced, but Sean... Who knew what outrageous things he might do?Upon hearing this, Sean immediately fired back, "If you want to blow them up, go ahead, I don't care."After all, those bases could be rebuilt. Most importantly, the data and skills existed in his brain and servers. Equipment could be repurchased; it was a minor issue."Admit that you spilled the beans to them." Joshua pinned the blame on him with one sentence.Sean choked.He had been reckless!"So what? Aren't you practically half-dead over there? If you die, it's no big deal to me, but I just don't want to ruin my reputation." Sean responded seriously, then started acting nonchalantly. "Are you sure you want to go against me?""Positive.""Fine."Sean was puzzled, asking, "What's th
"Next year.""And the marriage registration?""Next year," Cynthia repeated, a bit puzzled as to why Jonathan asked the same question twice."What are your plans for the wedding ceremony?" Jonathan remained concerned about these details and continued, "Are you planning to reveal your identity first or just announce your marriage directly?"Cynthia was stunned, but she quickly understood and replied, "No need."Jonathan and Shirley both looked puzzled, not entirely sure what she meant."We're planning to hold the wedding ceremony on the field in front of his base," Cynthia explained. She had discussed these matters with Matthew long ago. "We'll invite our most important family members and friends from both sides to witness it."She was not planning anything big.Jonathan was taken aback as he had not even considered this. "You're not planning on having a wedding banquet?"He had already planned it out. As soon as Cynthia set a date, he would book the best hotel to host a lively
It was at that moment that they truly realized just how much Cynthia loved Matthew and understood that Matthew was a perfect person in Cynthia's heart."As long as you're happy, I support all your decisions! You'll always be my beloved sister." Shirley hugged her, her face radiating warmth.Cynthia ruffled Shirley's hair, her eyes filled with affection. Jonathan finally relaxed. It was clear that this time, he truly felt at ease entrusting his daughter to Matthew."Do you have something on your mind?" Cynthia noticed that tiny reaction."I did, but not anymore now," Jonathan replied honestly.Cynthia was confused.Jonathan pursed his lips, obviously a bit hesitant, before saying, "After I say this, please don't get upset.""Sure, go ahead." Cynthia nodded."Until today, I had always thought that you chose Matthew because he treated you well and that you considered him suitable, not because you were in love," Jonathan said as his emotions became heavier, almost teary. Cynthi
"Don't go around saying you're from the Quier family and don't let the Quier Group get involved either. It's embarrassing," Hank added.Matthew agreed very readily, speaking calmly and deliberately, "Alright. From now on, I'm part of the Yates family."Hank and Tracy were stunned by his reply. Then, they retorted in unison, "Are you addicted to being a freeloader?""Mmhmm. The support would be addicting for anyone," Matthew admitted openly, appearing nonchalant.Hank and Tracy glared at Matthew in disdain."Matt, this isn't good practice." Tracy knew certain things were part of their playful banter as a couple, but there had to be a limit. "We don't interfere in your other matters, but how could you let Cyn propose?"Matthew looked around, finally connecting the dots and realizing Zayn had only told them the beginning, not the end.Tracy genuinely liked Cynthia and saw her as a daughter, adding, "Cyn proposing to you is her not caring about what others say. But as her boyfriend,
Hank was exasperated. Just as expected, his son was truly a master at getting under someone's skin!After glaring at Matthew, Hank casually asked Tracy, "Do you really like Cyn's proposal that much?" "I like it to the point of ignoring gender. What do you think?" Tracy, though in her fifties, was rather open-minded.Hank finally understood but stubbornly said, "Liking it won't change the fact that she's your son's."Tracy declined to continue the conversation with him, instead returning to her room and repeatedly replaying the proposal scene with Cynthia. If before, she had merely liked and cared for Cynthia. Now, she truly saw this brave, independent, and determined young woman as her own daughter. She really, really liked this proposal.Hank, on one hand holding a newspaper and on the other typing on his phone, sent a message to Matthew.[Hank: It's all your fault.][Matthew: Feeling jealous?]Hank did not reply.How could he not feel jealous? Tracy even wished she were
Hank realized that his position was at risk, and he could not afford to worry about his pride. Hence, he discreetly sent a message to Cynthia.[Hank: Cyn, can you help me to plan a proposal?]He waited a while, but there was no response. Nonetheless, he did not want to rush her, fearing she might be busy.Tracy, after watching the video, suddenly remembered something and asked, "By the way, when are you planning to get married?""Next year.""In that case, you need to plan the wedding carefully."For Tracy, a wedding was a significant event that deserved grand treatment. It was the most romantic event in every girl's heart. It had to be well-organized, splendid, and preferably announced to the whole world.Matthew understood why Cynthia did not like weddings, and he respected her choice, explaining, "The wedding is already planned. We're only inviting the most important family members and friends to witness it. Apart from that, we're not making it grand."Tracy and Hank's react
Matthew raised an eyebrow, casually saying, "If you want to chat, you can go upstairs and find Mom. She's probably in the closet picking out clothes.""Do I need you to remind me? I meant that I messaged Cyn earlier, but she hasn't replied," Hank retorted with a hint of arrogance, huffing."That's normal. She's not much of a phone person.""But why did she reply to your message?" After all, Hank texted Cynthia first."You can think of it as my special privilege. Whenever I message her, she gets a special notification sound on her end." Matthew was obviously showing off his relationship in front of his dad.Hank was at a loss for words.Matthew looked at Cynthia's message and told him that Hank had texted her. Cynthia then checked her notifications and scrolled down to find Hank's message.The first one at the top was Matthew's, followed by email notifications and some less important messages, causing Hank's message to get pushed down.Matthew asked, [What did my dad message you
