    “Because she’s my sister,” Shirley answered directly, with the naivery and innocence typical of a young


    girl.


    Shirley knew that Cynthia always spoke her mind. If she liked someone, she would say so; if she did


    not, she would say it too. The phrase ‘saying one thing but meaning another‘ did not really apply to


    Cynthia


    “What if Joshuaes again after this? Judging by his demeanor, he doesn’t seem like the type to give


    up easily.” Jonathan


    worried.


    “He doesn’t give up easily because he sees Cynthia as single now, and as long as he tries hard


    enough, he believes there’s always hope. But once Cynthia is no longer single and has a boyfriend,


    he’ll naturally give up.” Shirley said earnestly.


    Jonathan became even more worried, also curcerned about Cynthia “But I don’t think she’s interested


    in rtionships.”


    Her first marriage, her first experience with love, had hurt her deeply. She probably did not want to date


    or get married again.


    “Who sa

    says they have to actually be together? Mitchell and Cynthia have a good rtionship, right? Why don’t


    they pretend to be a couple?” Shirley’s mind came up with ideas one after another.


    Jonathan’s eyes lit up..


    Shirley was right.


    Why did he not think of that?


    Cynthia was also considering the same thing they were talking about


    With Joshua’s personality, if he came once, he woulde a second time. Even if they did not open


    the door, he would find a


    way to get in.


    Cynthia did not like being disturbed, but it was unlikely that she couldpletely avoid him.


    She just wanted a quiet and peaceful life.


    Thinking about all this, she made a phone call.


    Meanwhile, on joshua’s side, Yoel nced at the rearview mirror while driving and asked, “Mr. Neal,


    how are things with Mr. Yates?


    “Cancel Moses‘ ck card,” Joshua replied, only saying that much.


    Yoel froze.


    Was there nu progress?


    “Understood.”


    Joshua fiddled with his phone, thinking that Cynthia had already unblocked him. Then, he ordered Yoel,


    “Go to the Barnes Tarnily.”


    “The Harnes family? Yoel was taken aback.


    Joshua replied with a simple, “Mm.”


    Yoel did not ask further and drove toward their destination. When be saw fimmy, he knew instantly what


    Joshua was up to.


    Jimmy did not expert to run into Joshua here; he only returned boire once a


    a year.


    What kind of roincidence was this?


    The mornent Joshua and Yoel arrived at the Barnes family, Jimmy’s father warmly weed them with


    a smile so wide it almost reached his ears. When he learned that joshua had specificallye to find


    Jimmy, he repeatedly urged finany to be courters and treat him well, not to offend him

    Jimmy agreed on the surface, but he actually cecld not care less.


    The two of them sat in the living room and discussed matters.


    Jimmy, wearing a white casual hoodie, exuded a strong, youthful vibe. Although apprehensive, he took


    the initiative to ask, Mr. Neal, is there anything can help you with?”


    “How much do you know about Cynthia?” Joshua went straight to the point. Despite being a guest, his


    aura made people think he was the owner of the ce.


    Jimmy’s guard instantly went up.


    Cynthia?


    Jimmy’s mind raced, “Not much. Mitchell is the one most familiar with Cynthia. If you want to know


    about Cynthia, you


    ask him.”


    you can


    “Since none of us really know her, why not get to know her together? As her friend, isn’t it a failure if


    you don’t have a basic understanding of her?” Joshua spoke in a serious tone, llfully hiding his tras


    intentions.


    Jimmy was confused.


    What?
