Joshua emphasized, “She’s not a third person, and I didn’t cheat on you.”
Cynthia remained silent, feeling like it was a futile conversation.
“It’s up to you to believe what you want,” Cynthia responded firmly, convinced that Joshua had indeed cheated on her. After all, emotional cheating was still cheating. “I’ll say it one last time. If you or Jayleen come to me again over your issues, I won’t hesitate to expose your affair to the public. You need to consider whether you can handle the backlash.”
“What about you?” Joshua interrogated, his gaze locked onto her.
“What about me?” Cynthia frowned, annoyed.
“About you and Mitchell, and about you going to the hotel with Thomas in Nexuria. Would you have gone with them if I hadn’t been there?”
Cynthia was beyond angry. She tried to reason with Joshua, yet he kept bringing up hypothetical scenarios.
Pushing him away, Cynthia replied with a sharp tongue, “I must’ve been out of my mind if I thought I could reason with a dog.
Joshua fell silent.
Just as Cynthia was about to drag him out of her apartment, Joshua strode past her with his long legs and settled onto the sofa as if he owned the place.
He had come to talk things out with Cynthia, but now he was unsure.
Cynthia was clearly not in the mood to talk, and it was probably not a good time to bring up the matter that Jayleen had told
him about.
Despite that, Joshua could not resist provoking Cynthia.
Cynthia looked at Joshua, knowing he was a stubborn man who would not leave easily.
She also knew that reporting the incident to the property management or the police would not help.
They would simply say this was a domestic issue they could not resolve.
After thinking about it, Cynthia decided to let it go and returned to the dining table to continue her meal. Luckily, she was not a picky eater and could still eat despite her bad mood.
As for Joshua, who was still sitting on the couch, watching her wolfing down her food only made him angrier!
Despite the hunger, he drove more than an hour to get here. Instead of getting food, he got scolded!
Joshua frowned and made a phone call.
Yoel, who had just finished his lunch, answered the phone, “Yes, Mr. Neal?”
“Bring me lunch,” Joshua ordered.
“Where to?” Yoel asked, confused.
Joshua gave him Cynthia’s address. “Mrs. Neal’s place is over an hour away from the office. It will take at least two hours, including the time it takes to order and deliver,” Yoel explained.
It was already half past noon. If Joshua waited for his lunch to arrive, it would be almost three in the afternoon..
“Okay,” Joshua replied simply.
Yoel was taken aback. His boss was always punctual when it came to eating, and he could not believe Joshua was willing to wait for so long. NôvelDrama.Org (C) content.
“Why don’t you ask Mrs. Neal to take you out for lunch instead? The food won’t taste good when it reaches you,” Yoel
suggested.
“Whatever,” Joshua said before hanging up.
Yoel understood immediately. Joshua probably wanted to eat at Mrs. Neal’s place but was too embarrassed to ask.
They must have argued!
They were even playing a childish game of who the first person to speak would be the loser!
