    Joshua froze, still processing what Cynthia had just said, ignoring his bleeding hand.


    “w–What did you just say?”


    Cynthia felt a little uneasy and replied, “You don’t have to do this anymore. Someone will prepare


    meals and deliver them, so don’t worry about this.”


    “Did you just call me dumb?” joshua stubbornly sought an answer.


    Cynthia was at a loss for words, wondering how to respond.


    Joshua stared at Cynthia and asked, “Do you really think I’m dumb


    “I’m dumber than you. At least you can cook, I can’t even make a meal,” Cynthia rephrased.


    Joshua remained silent


    So, Cynthia still thought he was clumsy? Did she think the person next door who cooked delicious food


    was smarter?


    “From today, I’ll learn to cook properly. Once I can make many delicious dishes, can you marry me?


    Joshua promised.


    “No, I can’t,” Cynthia replied firmly.


    “Why?” Joshua asked.


    “No reason.”


    “Cynthia.”


    “Yes?”


    “Is it because of the past that you think I’m unreliable? That’s why you rejected me so quickly?” Joshua


    continued to y his role, nailing the character perfectly.


    Cynthia besitated, not knowing how to respond to this question.


    Joshua took her silence as agreement and walked out of the study to get a baseball bat, saying, “Hit


    me.”


    Cynthia was puzzled.


    “As long as it helps you vent, you can hit me however you want. 1 promise not to make a sound,”


    Joshua said seriously.


    “I rejected you because I don’t like you. Only when two people like each other can they be together,


    understand? Cynthia thought he was no longer a five–year–old child, so she naturally said it.


    Joshua’s head drooped immediately. “I understand.”


    Cynthia was not used to seeing him so downcast and said, “Don’t overthink it


    “Oh,” Joshua replied and left.


    Afterward, Joshua did note to see her for over an hour. During lunch, he only took a few bites and


    said he was full Cynthia wanted to offer him more food, but considering his condition, she thought he


    might say he was not hungry, so she did not press the matter. After all, the house had snacks, fruits,


    and desserts.


    After lunch, Cynthia went to the study to handle some things, not bothering with what Joshua was up


    to. A person with a mental age of around seventeen should know better than to cause trouble.


    They spent the afternoon without disturbing each other.


    In the evening, after dinner, they each went to their rooms to rest. It was at this time that the peaceful


    life was disrupted.


    “Ah!”


    A sudden cry echoed


    Cynthia quickly got up, and before she could knack on Joshua’s door, she saw him rush out with a


    terrified expression.

    “Cynthia! I’m scared!”


    “What’s wrong?” Cynthiaforted him calmly.


    “Blood… There’s so much blood in the room.” Joshua leaned into her arms, trembling all over


    Blood?


    Cynthia was puzzled.


    She patted his shoulder gently, but she did not feel a bit afraid. “Stay here. I’ll go in and take a look”
