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 Joshua’s situation to Felix. After hearing the story, the first concern Felix raised was, “So, aside from incomplete mental recovery and memory loss, he’s fine otherwise?”
Cynthia nodded in affirmation.
“Joshua” 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.
“Since 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,” Felix said without missing a beat, his tone casual but firma.
“I’m not going. I will stay with Cynthia,” Joshua declined immediately, his tone noticeably different from when he spoke to
Cyntida
Felix’s eyebrows twitched.
“Normally, I wouldn’t stop you from spending time with Cynthia. However, New Year is around the corner. You surely aren’t planning on spending it at Cynthia’s place, are you?” Felix said, maintaining his casual tone.
“Why not?” Joshua challenged.
“New 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?” Felix pointed out
Upon hearing this, Joshua pansed, suddenly at a loss for a rebuttal.
From the perspective of Cynthia’s 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 Cynthia’s relationship with Matthew progressed rapidly?
“What do you think?” Felix inquired, a gleam in his eyes.
“I’ll wait for Cynthia at her home. I don’t really need to eat New Year Eve’s dinner with anyone,” Joshua decided
“Why don’t you go back with Uncle Felix? If you want to come back after the New Year, I’ll have someone pick you up,” Cynthia interjected.
Joshua was instantly displeased, feeling a surge of rebellion in his heart. Did Cynthia really want to drive him away?
“Old Man Neal and Dapline miss you very much. They’ll worry if you don’t return, “Cynthia 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 don’t want to go back.”
“Cynthia doesn’t like disobedient people,” Felix murmured to him deliberately.
Joshua siglard inwardly.
He desperately sought an excuse. “I don’t remember them or anything from the past. If I go back, it will certainly be discovered, and won’t they worry even more then?”
“You’re 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,” 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, “If I’m so unwanted, why should I return?”
“You’ll know once you’re back,” Felix replied, his answer intentionally vague
