    “Don’t pay attention to him. Where else do you want to go? Let’s go.” Cynthia had always been


    indifferent when it came to Joshua


    “Upstairs.”


    “Okay.”


    The two of them simply ignored Joshua


    When they entered one of the stores, Shirley went in to try on clothes, and the salesperson, noticing


    Joshua standing outside, asked Cynthia tentatively, “Miss, is the gentleman outside with you?


    “No,” Cynthia replied calmly.


    With her naturally beautiful appearance andposed demeanor, the salesperson believed her


    immediately,


    She hesitated but decided to advise Cynthia, “When you leaveter, be careful. It seems like he has


    been following you.


    “Alright, thank you for the reminder,” Cynthia expressed her gratitude.


    Shirley bought two pieces of clothing, and Cynthia helped her carry them.


    For the next few hours, Cynthia and Shirley continued shopping. However, Shirley was the one doing


    most of the buying. Nheless, whenever they found something suitable for Cynthia, Shirley bought it


    for her too


    At four o’clock, Joshua watched them enter another store, slightly frowning


    He was genuinely curious.


    How could Shirley, who appeared petite, cute, and fragile, continue shopping for four hours?

    It was not that he was tired. It was mainly because, throughout the entire journey, he had received too


    many strange looks.


    Those gazes made it seem like he was some kind of stalker.


    Ten minutester, Cynthia and Shirley emerged from the store, and Joshua walked up to them and


    initiated a conversation with Cynthia. “How much longer do you want to shop?”


    Cynthia and Shirley were confused.


    Both of them looked at him with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he would ask such a


    question.


    How long they wanted to shop seemed unrted to him.


    “I need to talk to you about something.” Joshua’s gaze fell on Cynthia


    “Did you forget about the promise you made before?” Cynthia’s emotions were rather muted, and she


    no longer had the impulse to get angry as soon as she saw him.


    “I didn’t forget.” Joshua’s gaze was deep, his voice as low as ever. “I just wanted to exin a few things


    to you.”


    Cynthia remained as indifferent as ever. “We have no rtionship between us. If you need to exin


    something, you don’t have to do it with me. If it’s business–rted, you should talk to the Yates Group


    president.”


    With that one sentence, Cynthia blocked Joshua’s attempt.


    No matter what he wanted to discuss, he could not avoid the distinction between personal and


    business matters.


    The more distant and Indifferent she appeared, the more Joshua wanted to establish a connection with


    her, disrupt her calm – demeanor, see her get angry with him, and show some emotional fluctuations.


    “Then let’s not talk about us. Grandpa asked me to call him when I see you. He said he has something


    to tell you.” Joshua took out his plone.


    Cynthia was about to refuse, saying she could contact Old Man Neal herself. However, Joshua had


    already made the ca

    Old Man Neal picked up the phone quickly on the other end, with Moses still apanying him.


    Old Man Neal had some grievances toward Joshua, to the paint where his first sentence was filled with


    impatience, “What’s the matter? Don’t waste my time while I’m practicing painting with Moses.”


    Joshua knew that after his divorce from Cynthia, he had be the least favored one in the family.


    “Cynthia is with me


    Once those words were spoken…
