After that, Matthew took Joshua and left the apartment, heading downL
Cynthia was still worried about Joshua’s condition as it did not seem like indigestion.
Once Shirley noticed they had all left, she curiously asked Cynthia, “Cynthia, tell me the
truth. If Matthew pursued you, would you accept?”
Cynthia was taken aback
Matthew?
Almost instantly, she responded, “No.”
The idea of being pursued by her captain did not even cross her mind. After all, she still
vividly remembered the grueling training sessions, and she could not stand his methods.
Even the thought of having a meal together felt somewhat unre
unreal
“Why not?” Shirley was confused. “Matthew is good–looking, treats you well, and he’s
gentle. Isn’t he a good choice?”

It was not just her, but even Gaby and Riley would not dare to entertain such thoughts.
If Cynthia did not know what it was like to be trained by Matthew, she might be tempted,
especially since she had discovered that he was genuinely great during this period.
However, she would always relate Matthew to the harsh training and ruthlessness she
endured back then.
“What if Joshua recovers and pursues you? Would you agree then?” Shirley asked again.
“No,” Cynthia replied firmly.
“And what about…”
Cynthia interrupted, making her stance clear, “I currently have no plans in that regard. You
should just focus on your relationship.”
Shirley was worried. “Cynthia…”
She was concerned that Cynthia might have lost hope in this aspect due to her past
relationship
Yet, would Cynthia not feel lonely on her own?
“Have you prepared your dress for the company’s annual party?” Cynthia changed the
subject, not wanting to dwell on the previous topic. “Do you need my help to choose one?”
“It’s already prepared,” Shirley replied, noticing that Cynthia did not want to discuss it
further.
Joshua and Matthew were strolling in the garden of the residential area
Seeing Joshua remain silent beside him, Matthew asked, “Why did you lie to Cynthia?”
“It’s none of your business.” Joshua huffed like a child.
Matthew sat down on a bench, asking casually, “Don’t you like me?”
Joshua glanced at him but remained silent.
He knew, so why ask?
Were all adults so twisted?
Matthew treated him as a child and continued, “Let me guess… Is it because Cynthia
talked to me and ignored you, and it made you feel uncomfortable?”

Joshua, being a child at heart, could not hide his feelings. Hence, he glared at Matthew,
expressing his dislike.
Matthew did not bother to argue with him. If Joshua were in his right mind, he might scold
him a bit, but now he was just a five–year–old mentally.
“Don’t lie anymore, Cynthia doesn’t like being deceived,” Matthew kindly reminded him.
“I don’t need your advice,” Joshua retorted defiantly.
Matthew smirked, replying calmly, “I don’t want to care either. But I promised Cynthia to
take care of you with her.”
Joshua felt a bit unhappy
Did Cynthia think he was difficult to handle, which was why she let this person take care of
him?
“When we get back, I’ll tell Cynthia that I’ll take care of you. Let her focus on her own
matters,” Matthew continued.
