Chapter 475

Joshua’s voice was hoa rse, and he was depressed

“What day is it?”

“What’s wrong?” Moses sensed that something was wrong. “Are you sick?”

“No,” Joshua replied simply.

Moses still felt that something was off. “Are you sure nothing’s wrong?

“I’m fine.” Joshua appeared tired, and his voice was calm but lacked strength. “Let’s get to the point.”

“Today is your birthday. Congratulations on turning twenty-eight! You’re one step closer to thirty,” Moses

blurted out, sounding serious

Joshua was shocked, and Cynthia, who heard it, also froze, her gaze showing mixed emotions.

Was it already the 14th?

“I knew you would be too busy to remember your birthday. In the past, I didn’t have to worry because

Cynthia was there, but now that you’re divorced, it’s up to me,” Moses continued.

Those words were like a knife, stabbing Joshua’s already wounded heart, numbing the pain even more.

“Are you still at the office?”

“Yeah”

“Come back quickly. Mom and Dad are here. We’re waiting outside your door, and we’ve already

bought the cake for you.”

The emotions that Joshua had just managed to suppress resurfaced, and he could not find the words

to repl

Nonetheless, he forced down his emotions and replied, “Okay.”

After hanging up, he put his phone on silent mode, opened Moses’s WhatsApp, and sent him the door

rode.

The code was Cynthia and his wedding date.

Once he had collected himself, he looked at Cynthia.

His gaze met Cynthia’s eyes, and all his emotions surged rapidly, talting hold of his entire heart.

He wanted something, but he felt so powerless. If not for his strong self-control, he might have teared

up again.

“Happy birthday, Cynthia said, affected by his piercing gaze and feeling complicated too.

Joshua’s story heart felt a ray of warmth because of her words, and he looked deeply into her eyes as

if he wanted to engrave her features into his heart.

After a while, he spoke in a low, hoa rse voice, “Thank you.”

Their eyes met, and nothing else seemed to matter.

After a while, Joshua finally got out of the car.

As the door closed, their worlds were separated.

Cynthia drove forward.

After the car pulled out of the parking lot, sie lowered the window and let the cold air rush in to clear her

mind.

So, this was how it felt when the person who used to be closest to you apologized.

After the most crucial period had passed, apologies seemed less important.

People should move forward, and as for the past, she let it go.

She would let it go now…

Completely let go….

Cynthia had let go, but Joshua could not.

He sat in the backseat with his eyes closed, thinking about everything that had just happened.

Cynthia’s forgive you”.

Cynthia’s ‘Happy Birthday’.

And Cynthia’s gaze showed she had completely let go of him.

Yoel did not know what had happened, but he could tell that Joshua was in a bad mood. Hence, he did

not joke around with him as usual, nor did he twist the knife in his heart.

Half an hour later, Yoel’s phone rang

It was Moses calling.
