Chapter 325


    Chapter 325


    Moses chimed in, “Grandpa, Joshua’s back.”


    “So what? Why bother telling me?” Old Man Neal snorted coldly, clearly displeased with Joshua


    He had been waiting all day, only to see Joshua alone.


    Since theirst encounter, Joshua knew his status in the family had plummeted, but fortunately, he was


    quick to adapt.


    Joshua was not upset because Old Man Neal did not want to acknowledge him. Instead, he calmly sat


    down and leisurely sipped


    his tea


    The moreposed Joshua appeared, the more unsettled Old Man Neal became.


    Finally, after making a move in their chess game, he could not hold back any longer.


    “I’m done ying “Old Man Neal snorted and could not help but make a sarcastic remark, “Some


    people just irritate me.”


    Joshua replied calmly, “Aren’t you just angry because I didn’t bring back your beloved granddaughter?”


    Upon hearing his words, Old Man Neal became even more furious. “Then why did youe back?”


    “Should I leave? Joshua responded in a nonchnt tone, his gestures oozing elegance and


    indifference.


    Old Man Neal was tempted to swing his cane at him.


    This guy was infuriating!


    He knew that both Joshua and Moses were unreliable, and Cynthia was still better.


    “Don’t get worked up. She’ll be in fiverton tonight. She’sing with her dad,” Joshua said as he set


    down his teacup, carrying an air of nobility.


    Upon hearing this, Old Man Neal froze. He inexplicably felt nervous and asked, “I remember Cynthia


    saying that she didn’t have a good rtionship with her family. After you went to Nexuria, did you meet


    Cynthia’s family?”


    “I did.” Joshua’s gaze deepened, adding, “Their rtionship seems to have improved.”


    Upon hearing his response, Old Man Neal rxed slightly. However, he thought of another concern


    and frowned, asking How have you been getting along with them?”


    “It was going fine. But halfway through the conversation, your beloved granddaughter kicked me out.


    We haven’t had a second conversation since,” Joshua spoke half–heartedly, slowly, and indifferently.


    “Great job!” Old Man Neal praised.


    Joshua remained silent.


    He knew that even if he asked whether he was Old Man Neal’s biological grandson, the answer would


    still be no.


    “Shouldn’t we prepare then? You’ve been married to Cynthia for two years and haven’t met her family.


    Now that her dad is corning, shouldn’t we make a good impression?” Old Man Neal was somewhat


    concerned about these matters.


    Old Man Neal realized how poorly Joshua had handled things before. After all, he had married Cynthia


    without informing her family and had not followed proper etiquette.

    It was truly embarrassing!


    “No need. Cynthia won’t like it,” Joshua declined.


    Old Man Neal and Moses exchanged perplexed looks.


    Joshua noticed their gazes and raised an eyebrow. “What’s the matter?”


    “I have reason to suspect that this is not the real Joshua, Mosesmented, still as nonchnt as


    always.

    “Me too.“Old Man Neal added.


    Joshua’s eyebrow twitched slightly, realizing they were criticizing him.


    “Get to the paint.”


    “Throughout these past six months, you have never considered things from Cynthia’s perspective,” Old


    Man Neal stated bluntly. He had observed how the bastard Joshua had treated Cynthia poorly in these


    past six months, but at the time, he had not thought much of it, considering it a bottleneck in their


    rtionship.


    Later, Old Man Neal found out about Jayleen.
