Chapter 622
However, given the current situation, Joshua could not afford to fall out with his father, especially with
Cynthia around.
At half past eleven, the car stopped in front of the restaurant. Cynllria, Felix, and Joshua got out and
entered. Led by the manager, they were shown to the private room that had been booked in advance.
While they were waiting for the food, Cynthia explained Joshuaâs situation to Felix. After hearing the
story, the first concern Felix raised was, âSo, aside from incomplete mental recovery and memory loss,
heâs fine otherwise?â
Cynthia nodded in affirmation.
âJoshuaâ Felix turned to the young man.
Joshua, sensing a vague feeling of dread, lifted his gaze to meet his.
His instincts told him that his father was about to stir up trouble.
âSince you are basically fine now, you should return to fiverton with me tomorrow. Your mother and
grandfather miss you and would love for you to come home for the New Year,â Felix said without
missing a beat, his tone casual but firma.
âIâm not going. I will stay with Cynthia,â Joshua declined immediately, his tone noticeably different from
when he spoke to
Cyntida
Felixâs eyebrows twitched.
âNormally, I wouldnât stop you from spending time with Cynthia. However, New Year is around the
corner. You surely arenât planning on spending it at Cynthiaâs place, are you?â Felix said, maintaining
his casual tone.
âWhy not?â Joshua challenged.
âNew Year is a time for family reunions and joyful gatherings. If you go, you would upset them. If your
presence spoils the mood for Chairman Yates and the others, what will you have Cynthia do?â Felix
pointed out
Upon hearing this, Joshua pansed, suddenly at a loss for a rebuttal.
From the perspective of Cynthiaâs father, he would prefer not to see a man who had divorced his
daughter. However, if he were to return home, what would happen if Cynthiaâs relationship with
Matthew progressed rapidly?
âWhat do you think?â Felix inquired, a gleam in his eyes.
âIâll wait for Cynthia at her home. I donât really need to eat New Year Eveâs dinner with anyone,â Joshua
decided
âWhy donât you go back with Uncle Felix? If you want to come back after the New Year, Iâll have
someone pick you up,â Cynthia interjected.
Joshua was instantly displeased, feeling a surge of rebellion in his heart. Did Cynthia really want to
drive him away?
âOld Man Neal and Dapline miss you very much. Theyâll worry if you donât return, âCynthia continued,
genuinely hoping that Joshua would be obedient.
Joshua wanted to refuse, but he did not want to leave a bad impression on Cynthia. I donât want to go
back.â
âCynthia doesnât like disobedient people,â Felix murmured to him deliberately.
Joshua siglard inwardly.
He desperately sought an excuse. âI donât remember them or anything from the past. If I go back, it will
certainly be discovered, and wonât they worry even more then?â
âYouâre overthinking it. Your grandfather quickly lost interest in you. After meeting you for the first time,
he was done. As for your mother, the only person who can laald her attention for long is me,â Felix said,
appearing to take great pleasure in tormenting his son
Joshua gave him a questioning look. Was this man flaunting his love life?
However, he retorted, âIf Iâm so unwanted, why should I return?â
âYouâll know once youâre back,â Felix replied, his answer intentionally vague
