There was a brief moment of silence on the other end.
“Put your phone on speaker. I want to talk to Cynthia about something.” Old Man Neal quickly spoke up, and his purpose
became clear
“Okay“Joshua complied
Shirley glanced at Cynthia and waited there.
Old Man Meal’s voice was loud, and he always spoke to Cynthia affectionately. “Is it Cynthia?”
“Old Man Neal “Cynthia changed the way she addressed him
Joshua glanced at her and unintentionally tightened his grip on the phone.
Old Man Neal did not mind. As for him, Cynthia would always be Cynthia. “I want to ask you something. Are you available?”
“Lam.”
“Do you still like that scoundrel Joshua?”
Upon hearing these words, Joshua and Shirley both tumed their gaze to Cynthia, waiting for her answer.
They expected Cynthia to hesitate to some extent, but no one anticipated that in the very next second after Old Man Meal spoke, she would give a straightforward answer, “I don’t like him.”
Those words hit Joshua’s heart like a boulder, making his breath stall.
Just how much disdain did she have for him to say these words without any hesitation?
“Are you sure?‘ Old Man Neal asked again.
“Yes,” Cynthia affirmed
“If you truly don’t like him at all, then I’ll arrange a marnage for him. Those old folks have been asking me about this recently,” Old Man Neal said slowly, his words filled with contempt for Joshua
Cynthia did not comment much but replied, “It’s up to you!
“If you still like him, then I’ll have to keep him for you” It was unknown whether Old Man Neal’s words were genuine or not But since you don’t like him, I’ll just squeeze out his last bit of value.”
Cynthia remained silent.
Joshua frowned and chimed in, “Grandpa, I can hear you.
“So what? Everything I said is the truth. If you can’t win over Cynthia, then obediently get into a marriage of convenience for me.” Old Man Neal showed no guilt.
“The Neal Group doesn’t need a manage of conventence,” Joshua responded simply.
He would not accept a marriage arrangement,
Even if it was the family’s intention.
“The Neal Group certainly doesn’t need it If a company like that needs a manage of convenience, it would be a joke. I’ll give you another three months. If you can’t win over Cynthia by then, you’ll enter
into an arranged marriage for me. There’s no room for negotiation on this matter.” Old Man Neal snorted.
After saying these words, Old Man Neal hung up the phone.
Setting the phone aside, he looked at Moses standing beside him and asked, “Did I sound convincing enough just nbw?”
“Very comincing.” Moses gave him a thumbs–up.

I wonder if Joshua will resent me for doing this.” old Man Neal began to ponder..
Despite his disdain, Joshua was always the most outstanding and sensible one of his generation.
“He’ll be too grateful to even think about resenting you. Moses set down his paintbrush, smiling. “He’s probably secretly delighted now, thanking you for giving him a reason to get involved with Cynthia.”
Moses had heard from Yoel that Joshua had actually agreed to three challenges with Cynthia in order to reconcile, promising not to disturb her until he wOIL
He could not understand how Joshua’s brain worked.
Even the best relationship would fade without involvement and connection. It was foolish of him to agree to such demands.
His emotional intelligence was worrisome.
“After my birthday, go and help him. With his mindset, I’m afraid he’ll never be able to win Cynthia back in his lifetime,” Old Man Neal sighed.
