Chapter 301 “So, are we still going out for dinner later?” Yoel asked tentatively. Joshua messed with Kendrick’s beloved cousin, and this meal could very well be a trap. Joshua’s eyes glimmered as he simply replied, “Why not?” Regardless of whether it was a trap or if Kendrick had any grievances against him, he had to go.. After all, that man was Cynthia’s relative. Half an hour later, Kendrick’s secretary, Lionel Tom, made a reservation at a restaurant, and he took Joshua there. Cynthia watched them leave and did not say much. However, she received a call from her grandfather, Old Man Addams, she was about to leave, asking her to come over. Her impression of Old Man Addams was quite drep He had treated her and Shirley very well. If it were not for learning about his coercion of her mother’s arranged marriage, Old Man Addams would have remained in her heart as a kind and gentle person. After informing Shirley that she would not be going home tonight, Cynthia was picked up by someone sent by Old Man Addems, and she arrived at around seven o’clock.
This visit was no different from previous ones, Old Man Addams had dinner with her as usual, and only the two were at the table. After dinner, Old Man Addams took her for a walk in the yard. Cynthia was aware that he must have something to discuss with her. “I heard that you haven’t been in Nexuria these past two years and got married to someone in liverton,” Old Man Addams, who was in his eighties, asked with kindness in his eyes and a gentle tone. Cynthia did not hide anything and casually charted as usual, “Yes, that’s right. “How has that person treated you?” “Okay, I guess “Okay, but you still got divorced?”
“We weren’t compatible.” The two of them continued to have a casual conversation without much substance. Old Man Addams knew Cynthia’s personality well and understood that she would not treat marriage lightly, and he figured that this young girl did not want others meddling in her past affairs. “These past few days, an old friend of mine reached out and mentioned that he has a suitable grandson. He said his grandson is handsome and comes from a wealthy family,” Old Man Addams said leisurely as they walked. Hearing this, Cynthia understood that it was lilorly a matchmaking proposal. “He wants you two to meet. Do you want to meet him?” Old Man Addams glanced at her from the side. “No, I don’t, Cynthia firmly rejected. She did not like blind dates. “1 figured that. After all, that’s always been your character, I’ll decline on your behalf.” Old Man Addams smiled kindly, fond of her. Cynthia froze, surprised. Her reaction did not escape Old Man Addams’ eyes. He looked at her, and his tone suddenly became heavier. “If I were younger, 1 would have definitely arranged for you to meet. But when you grow old, there are some things you don’t want to bother with anymore.” Cynthia did not respond. In reality, she wanted to ask why Katherine had been forced into an arranged marriage. However, that was a matter of the past, and Old Man Addams was a mourning parent. Asking him would only reopen old wounds. “Cyn. I’m sorry for your mother” Old Man Addams stood by the pond, his voice carrying a touch of weariness and guilt. Cynthia paused and instinctively looked over. “If it weren’t for me pressuring her into marriage with your father, maybe she wouldn’t have left so early. I was wrong.” Old Man Addams confessed.
In the two years since Katherine’s death, he regretted his decision daily. As one grew older, they realized that family was the most important thing in the world. “When Mom left, she said something to Shirley and me. She said she was very blessed to have us.” Cynthia did not know how to comfort others, so she simply spoke the truth.
