Chapter 61
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money
Chapter 61
Joshua emphasized, âSheâs not a third person, and I didnât cheat on you.â
Cynthia remained silent, feeling like it was a futile conversation.
âItâs up to you to believe what you want,â Cynthia responded firmly, convinced that Joshua had indeed
cheated on her. After all, emotional cheating was still cheating. âIâll say it one last time. If you or Jayleen
come to me again over your issues, I wonât hesitate to expose your affair to the public. You need to
consider whether you can handle the backlash.â
âWhat about you?â Joshua interrogated, his gaze locked onto her.
âWhat about me?â Cynthia frowned, annoyed.
âAbout you and Mitchell, and about you going to the hotel with Thomas in Nexuria. Would you have
gone with them if I hadnât been there?â
Cynthia was beyond angry. She tried to reason with Joshua, yet he kept bringing up hypothetical
scenarios.
Pushing him away, Cynthia replied with a sharp tongue, âI mustâve been out of my mind if I thought I
could reason with a dog.
Joshua fell silent.
Just as Cynthia was about to drag him out of her apartment, Joshua strode past her with his long legs
and settled onto the sofa as if he owned the place.
He had come to talk things out with Cynthia, but now he was unsure.
Cynthia was clearly not in the mood to talk, and it was probably not a good time to bring up the matter
that Jayleen had told
him about.
Despite that, Joshua could not resist provoking Cynthia.
Cynthia looked at Joshua, knowing he was a stubborn man who would not leave easily.
She also knew that reporting the incident to the property management or the police would not help.
They would simply say this was a domestic issue they could not resolve.
After thinking about it, Cynthia decided to let it go and returned to the dining table to continue her meal.
Luckily, she was not a picky eater and could still eat despite her bad mood.
As for Joshua, who was still sitting on the couch, watching her wolfing down her food only made him
angrier!
Despite the hunger, he drove more than an hour to get here. Instead of getting food, he got scolded!
Joshua frowned and made a phone call.
Yoel, who had just finished his lunch, answered the phone, âYes, Mr. Neal?â
âBring me lunch,â Joshua ordered.
âWhere to?â Yoel asked, confused.
Joshua gave him Cynthiaâs address. âMrs. Nealâs place is over an hour away from the office. It will take
at least two hours, including the time it takes to order and deliver,â Yoel explained.
It was already half past noon. If Joshua waited for his lunch to arrive, it would be almost three in the
afternoon..
âOkay,â Joshua replied simply.
Yoel was taken aback. His boss was always punctual when it came to eating, and he could not believe
Joshua was willing to wait for so long.
âWhy donât you ask Mrs. Neal to take you out for lunch instead? The food wonât taste good when it
reaches you,â Yoel
suggested.
âWhatever,â Joshua said before hanging up.
Yoel understood immediately. Joshua probably wanted to eat at Mrs. Nealâs place but was too
embarrassed to ask.
They must have argued!
They were even playing a childish game of who the first person to speak would be the loser!
