Chapter 664
Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money
Chapter 664
Joshua was confused and asked, âOvername?â
What were they supposed to overcome?
As he tried to figure out Cynthiaâs intentions, she turned on the TV and stopped at the movie section,
glancing at him, âAre you scared of gory things or ghosts?â
âHuh?â Joshua began to act clueless.
At this moment, he understood that Cynthia probably wanted to watch horror or suspenseful movies
with him.
âIf youâre not sure, weâll watch one type at a time.â
Cynthia calmly started selecting a movie, choosing the scariest thriller suggested online.
âCoincidentally, I m also scared, so letâs overcome it together.â
âAre you scared of ghosts?â Jeshua asked skeptically.
Cynthia nodded calmly. âYes.â
âCynthia, youâre joking, right? You donât seem like someone scared of these things.â Joshua got a bit
closer to her.
Cynthia had remained calm since Nadia appeared. Even when she saw the things in the room, she
never showed any signs of panic or fear.
That kind of reaction meant she was scared, right?
âPeople who donât know me think Iâm not afraid. But in reality, Iâm terrified of these things. I could
handle it calmly just now because I have a responsibility to protect you. If Iâm scared, what will you do?â
Cynthia confidently lied.
Joshua was taken aback
Was she really scared?
âII;
I you had observed carefully just now, you would have noticed that my palms were covered in cold
sweat when I saw the things in your room. And when Nadia appeared, my heart was pounding, and my
whole body went stiff,â Cynthia continued
with her bes.
She gambled that Joshua was too caught up in his act earlier to notice the details, and he had no idea
she was lying to him now.
Upon reflection, Joshua had indeed overlooked a crucial detail
According to Joshuaâs current personality, even if it were a facade, he would have asked who Nadia
was when she appeared in his room and wondered how she got into his room. However, he did not.
Throughout, he was only focused on being scared and telling Cynthia that he was afraid. He seemed
completely indifferent to Nadiaâs appearance.
âCoincidentally, weâre both scared, so letâs overcome it together tonight. Cynthia brought two blankets
and gave one to him while starting the suspenseful movie,
âWait!â Joshua grabbed the remote from her and pressed pause.
Cynthia glanced at him, still appearing indifferent. âWhatâs wrong?â
Joshua changed his mind, looking at her with a particularly serious paze. âTus not scared anymore.
Cynthia, from now on, protect you.â
Cynthia raised an eyebrow. Just as she suspected, he was acting.
âWerenât you scared just now? Cynthia did not expose him. If he wanted to act, she would play along
with his act
Iâll
âI was scared, but when thereâs someone to protect, I can overcome those fears. From now on, with me
around, you can leave
those things to me,â Joshua sald with genuine seriousness.
Cynthia looked at him as if doubting whether he could do that.
Her acting and Joshuaâs were different.
Joshua was purely seeking Cynthiaâs attention, wanting her eyes to be only on him, which often led to
loopholes in his act. However, Cynthia was different. She took her time, paid attention to all the details.
âIf you donât believe me, I can watch this movie with you till the end and prove that Iâm not lying, Joshua
said earnestly, completely opposite to the scared person he was a moment ago.
