Chapter 253

Joshua stood up and walked away, feeling the pent-up anger inside him surging up.

He had clearly done what Moses had instructed, but Cynthia still remained stubborn and unyielding.

Cynthia followed him out.

Jonathan and Shirley were waiting downstairs, afraid that there would be conflicts or fights between the

two.

They waited and waited.

After a while, they finally heard voices coming from the stairs.

Both of them looked over, and it seemed like Joshua had an even colder demeanor than before. They

immediately guessed that he and Cynthia had reached a deadlock in their conversation.

“Mr. Yates.” Joshua stopped in the living room.

Jonathan instinctively looked at him, ready to respond, but then remembered that he was no longer his

father-in-law due to the divorce, so he pretended not to hear.

After all, he was not Joshua’s father-in-law anymore, and there was no reason to be so courteous with

him.

Joshua raised an eyebrow, instantly seeing through his thoughts.

He did not mind and just stood there, uttering, “I arrived in the Nexuria and haven’t found a place to

stay. I wonder if it’s convenient for me to stay here for a night?”

Jonathan, Shirley, and Cynthia were stunned by Joshua’s audacity.

“Cyn and Shirley are both young ladies. It’s not convenient to have a stranger staying overnight. Mr.

Neal, you should find your own accommodation,” Jonathan said, no longer composed.

“Understood, Mr. Yates,” Joshua replied, and then he left.

His thinking was simple. Before the divorce, he had no idea about Cynthia’s identity or who her parents

were, and he had not visited them. Although they were now divorced, be still had to make up for what

he missed before.

Jonathan was still wondering why Joshua suddenly left, obediently following his order. He was

surprised at how compliant he

Just as he snapped back to reality, he saw Cynthia and Shirley both staring at him.

“W-What’s wrong?” Jonathan looked completely bewildered, having no idea what had happened.

“If you respond, it means you acknowledge him. This guy is too scheming!” Shirley said angrily, starting

to criticize Joshua “Have someone return the gifts, Cynthia ordered, glancing at the neatly arranged

gifts, her brow slightly furrowed. Jonathan immediately made arrangements. However, Joshua was

really cun ning. It was as if he had anticipated their actions. Once he got in the car, he instructed Yoel

to drive away, resulting in the gifts not being returned successfully.

Jonathan felt a slight twinge of guilt as he looked at the pile of gifts, asking “What should we do with

these?

“Alter he settles down in Nexuria, have someone deliver the items to his place. And in the future if he

comes here again, don’t open the door,” Cynthia said calmly.

“Alright,” Jonathan agreed.

Cynthia made a sound of acknowledgment and went upstairs.

“Cyn!” Jonathan suddenly called out.

Cynthia paused in her tracks, her tone just as flat as before as she asked, “What’s the matter?”

“The you still like him?” Jonathan wanted to understand the situation first, as he did not wish Cynthia to

be heartbroken.

about certain things. “What kind of feelings do you love for him?

“I don’t like him, and I have no feelings for him,” Cynthia quickly replied.

During those six months, her affection for him had gradually worn away. After all the things that

happened later, even the little remaining fondness had completely dissipated.

Now, she genuinely did not like Joshua

She felt nothing

Jonathan watched her figure as she went upstairs, and a hint of worry appeared on his face. Then, he

asked Shirley, “Do you think she truly doesn’t like him, or is she just afraid to like him after being hurt?”

“She really doesn’t like him,” Shirley said with confidence.

“Why?”
