Chapter 380
“Why are you here?” Joshua did not answer her question but instead asked what he
wanted to know
Cynthia remained silent, maintaining her indifferent demeanor, emanating an icy aura that
kept people at a distance
This kind of conversation weighed heavily on Joshua’s heart. Yet, even so, he still wanted
to be with Cynthia.
It was as if, by being together, his aching heart could find a momentary peace, even
though it still hurt a bit.
It was still better than having nothing at all.
The two of them remained in a standoff, neither speaking further.
Time continued to pass them by.
Cynthia did not enjoy the tense atmosphere, and without a word, she turned to leave
However, Joshua grabbed her am and held on tight
“What the hell do you want?” Cynthia could not understand his behavior.
Joshua did not release his grip, and his eyes darkened as he said, “You still haven’t

“Blind date,” Cynthia replied simply.
“With Mitchell?”
“It’s none of your concern.”
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll go to your house every day to propose.” Joshua did not know why
he said that, but he continued, ” You can stop me outside your door, but after a while,
prople of Nexuria will find out.”
Cynthia turned around, completely baffled at why she had never realized how shameless
Joshua could be.
Seeing her displeasure in her eyes pricked Joshua’s heart, but he still did not let go.
“It’s not with Mitchell. My grandpa asked me to come bere,” Cynthia said, not wanting to
engage in a pointless argument
with him.
Joshua frowned.
Before he could ask anything else, Cynthia used her other hand to remove his hand from
her arm.
She was not angry but spoke to him calmly, “I don’t know what you’re trying to do, but if
it’s just to deceive that person, there’s no need to go to such lengths. I’ll ask Jayleen to lie
to them.”
In the end, Jayleen was the informant on their side. Whatever Jayleen said, the other side
would believe.
At least, that was the case for the time being
“I have something to attend to. I’ll go now,” Cynthia concluded.
This time, Joshua did not attempt to pull her back and watched her go inside.
He stood there for a long time until Yusef approached him, gradually bringing his thoughts
back
“What’s wrong? Yosef noticed his unusual expression and asked.
Joshua did not elaborate with Yosef and simply asked, “What do you know about the Yates
family’s Old Man Yates?”
“Shirley’s grandfather?”
“Mhon.”
“Not much. He’s said to be a rather old–fashioned man who likes to have the young ones

“It’s nothing. I’m heading back now.” Joshua already had his attention elsewhere.
“What about me?
“Figure it out.”
Yosef immediately got frustrated. They had agreed to accompany each other, but Joshua
was leaving halfway.
Was this how good friends treated each other?
Joshua could not care less and left the car for Yosef. Then, he walked out and called Yorl to
pick him up.
Upon Yoel’s arrival, Joshua immediately assigned him a task.
“Set a meeting with Old Man Yates.”
Yoel froze.
