Matthew’s eyes brightened as he replied, [I’m not planning to come back for now.]

[Hank Quier: !!!]

[Hank Quier: You bastard! Do you want a beating? Your mom and I raised you, but we don’t get to see

you often in a year! Now that you’re retired, you’re still not planning to come home?]

[Hank Quier: If you don’t return, your mom and I will have another child!]

Matthew stared at the messages, then responded directly, [If you’re not concerned about Mom’s health,

go ahead and have another child.]

Hank read the message and became furious. Then, he promptly limited Matthew’s contact number.

This kid was simply too audacious!

[Matthew: I’m busy winning over someone.]

As soon as the message was sent, a red exclamation mark appeared next to it. Hank had limited

Matthew’s messages, indicating that Hank would not receive the message until Hank adjusted the

setting

Matthew was caught off guard and thought his father was childish.

“Captain, we’ve arrived,” Cynthia said as she parked the car near a mall known for having great options

for food and shopping.

Matthew glanced at it. “Let’s go to the parking lot.”

Cynthia was puzzled.

Why should they go to the parking lot?

“Let’s have a meal together. It’s a great chance to bribe my future boss,” Matthew replied.

He always made others feel comfortable with his presence, and it helped that he was really handsome.

Cynthia hesitated. “Captain.”

She could not help but feel that the Captain was intentionally teasing her. Despite that, she still drove

the car to the parking

lot.

To avoid incoming calls, Matthew sent a normal text message to Hank and also informed his mother,

Tracy Quier, about it.

Tracy replied quickly, [Alright, sure. Don’t worry about it. Dad’s at home anyway.”

Matthew felt relieved after handling the matter.

The meal was relatively peaceful.

Cynthia initially intended to pay the bill, but Matthew was ahead of her.

After the meal, Cynthia thought about driving Matthew back home, but he refused, saying, “I don’t live

in this area, don’t plan to go back for now. So, I need to find a place to live first.”

“A place to live?”

“I’ll be working at the Arch International Group later, so I need to find a place nearby.”

and I

On this point, Matthew was not lying. His current residence was too far from the company, and he

would only be stuck in traffic jams if he commuted by car.

It would not be suitable.

Cynthia genuinely cared for her captain and offered, “You can stay at my place. The neighboring unit

next to mine is also mine, and it’s close to the company.”

Matthew did not know how to describe his feelings.

He gently poked her forehead and said, “Little Cyn.”

Cynthia was confused. “Hmm?

“Be a bit more cautious around men.” Matthew had mixed feelings and thought she was a bit naive.

He was naturally happy if he could live close to her, but he did not want her to trust people too easily.

Trusting others too much could lead to being hurt.

“I understand,” Cynthia replied and added, “But you’re different from others. You’re our captain.”

Whether it was her, Mitchell, or even Jimmy and the others, when Matthew encountered difficulties,

they would be the first to help him solve them, just as he had helped them when they faced difficulties.

They were like a family.

That was why there was no romantic spark between Mitchell and Cynthia, and Cynthia had never

thought of Matthew in that

way

As Matthew listened to her, his gaze deepened.

Should he be grateful that she had such trust in him, or should he be sad that she would never see him

as a man?

get in the car, Captain.” Cynthia noticed the complexity in his eyes but did not dwell on it. After all, she

would not have the true meaning even if she had racked her brain.
