    Yes, that was joshua’s initial thought. He believed that as long as he did not let go, Cynthia could not


    im it was over, However, thinking about it and saying it out loud were two different inatters, and he


    would not say it directly.


    Joshua know that if he answered that way, it would only anger Cynthia.


    “No,” he replied.


    “If that’s the case, don’t disturb me anymore.” Cynthia still hoped for a peaceful conversation.


    She did not want to confront Joshua head-on. In many matters, she leaned toward rational decisions.


    Yet, if she did not talk to Joshua properly, he would likely act ording to his own mindset, and


    conflicts would be inevitable.


    “Why don’t you want to reconcile with me? If it’s because of Jayleen, I apologize Joshua looked at her,


    his aura aggressive.


    Cynthia remained silent for a moment and then looked at him. “Because we are not the same kind of


    people.”


    The circles she had grown up in were built on mutual trust. Whether it was her, Mitchell, Jimmy, or their


    other friends, they were all alike in certain ways.


    They would not easily trust someone, but what set them apart was that once they formed a deep


    friendship and understood each other, they would trust unconditionally


    They trusted because they knew each other and could rely on each other without reservations.


    “What about Mitchell? Joshua coldly mentioned a name.


    Cynthia did not answer, but her silence made Joshua realize that Mitchell held a special ce in her


    life.


    The atmosphere instantly grew tense, and the temperature in the living room seemed to drop.


    Cynthia did not want to speak to joshua, and he was too angry to talk to her.


    “I’ll give you three months to think it over. If you still haven’te to your senses after three months, I’llContent rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    make sure you reconcile with me my way,” Joshua broke the silence, not wanting the stalemate to


    continue.


    “Are you forcing me?” Cynthia’s brow furrowed slightly. She despised this kind of threat.


    Joshua replied coldly, devoid of empathy, “You’re the one forcing me.”


    “I won’t reconcile with you,” Cynthia said simply in response to his dominance.


    If Joshua insisted on pressuring her, she would return to the organization. She would rather undertake


    dangerous missions than allow him to disturb hier.


    Joshua abruptly stood up, his tall figure making the sp acious living room feel cramped. Impatience


    filled his eyes as he spoke, word by word, ‘You can try.”


    After finishing his words, be returned to his room, leaving Cynthia alone In the living


    Cynthia had considered calling Old Man Neal and Dapline, asking them to bring Joshua back.


    However, she realized a person three years older than her, like Jushua, probably would not listen to his


    elders.


    After much deliberation, e sent a message to Moses. It was necessary to have someone close in


    age to joshua to talk to him


    Moses received Cynthia’s message while at home, ying chess with Old Man Neal. He looked at the


    message on his phone and momentarily forgot to make his move.


    “None of you are even half as good as Cynthia. When Cynthia ys chess with me, she never touches


    her phone,” Old Man Neal grumbled, his mustache trembling in anger.


    “Well, I’m just reading a message Cynthia sent me,” Moses teased.


    The whole family knew that Old Man Neal adored Cynthia, treating her like his own granddaughter and


    seeing Joshua as his


    grandson-inw.


    Old Man Neal suddenly became alert.


    Cynthia!


    He could not focus on chess anymore.


    “What did Cynthia send you?”


    “Your ipetent grandson-inw is disturbing her. Cynthia doesn’t like him, and yet he persists. I


    don’t know if his emotional intelligence is low or just in nonexistent,” Moses replied, typing a


    message while talking to Old Man Neal.
