Chapter 159
“If there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave.” Mitchell straightened his suit, his refined demeanor quite captivating.
“This is a premeditated setup.”
“Wait.”
Mitchell raised his gaze, waiting for Joshua’s follow-up statement.
Joshua’s deep and piercing gaze looked over as he asked a soul-stirring question, “What kind of feelings do you
have for Cynthia?”
“Whatever role she needs me to be, that’s the kind of feeling I can have,” Mitchell answered.
They had been childhood friends, and their relationship transcended ordinary feelings; deeper than friendship,
more reliable than romantic love, with something extra that surpassed mere familial ties.
If Cynthia had to get married later, he could be the person on her marriage certificate.
If she chose not to marry, he could still be her lifelong friend.
As Joshua listened to his words, he suddenly realized something.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“You don’t have romantic feelings for her, do you?”
“Is that so?”
“If you did, with your personality, wouldn’t you mind that she still carries the lingering feelings for her first love? Not
to mention she has Bailey, whom she cuddles with while sleeping,” Joshua recalled these matters, his gaze
deepening little by little.
It was reasonable for anyone to be possessive over the person they liked, especially someone like Mitchell.
“You have a narrow understanding of what it means to like someone. As long as Cyn is happy and likes it, I’m willing
to do anything.” Mitchell maintained his calm and gentle smile.
Joshua hoped to find a hint of deception in Mitchell’s eyes but found no flaws.
Did Mitchell… truly love Cynthia?
Mitchell knew Joshua was doubting, so he added, “She rushed to Jiverton to marry you despite not knowing you, and
I didn’t stop her, did 1?”
He did not want Joshua to think that Cynthia was unimportant or that no one cared about her. Only by giving him a
sense of crisis would he regret losing her.
Cynthia should not be let down.
Joshua found it increasingly difficult to understand the person in front of him.
Mitchell pushed his glasses up and still appeared nonchalant. “She rushed into a marriage
with you
because she fell in love with your face at first sight. If you treat her well, her happiness is my happiness. If you treat
her poorly, I can provide her happiness.”
“You won’t have that chance,” Joshua blurted out without thinking.
Chapter 151
Mitchell kindly reminded him, “You’ll be getting a divorce certificate the day after tomorrow.”
Seeing the stung look on his face, Joshua felt uncomfortable in his heart. Finally, he uttered, Does she know how
you feel about her?”
“She thinks we’re friends.” Mitchell knew very well that Joshua was setting a trap for him, and he provided a brief
explanation.
If he admitted that Cynthia knew, Joshua would definitely call Cynthia a terrible woman.
Mitchell did not want to waste any more time with Joshua, and he had said what needed to be said. The rest was for
Joshua to figure out on his own.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJoshua could not articulate his current feelings.
His mind was filled with what Mitchell said, and he clearly knew that Mitchell’s good looks also fell under Cynthia’s
preference for men.
If she divorced him, she would probably be with Mitchell.
Just the thought of it made him inexplicably agitated.
Mitchell seemed to have appeared in his and Cynthia’s life only after he had proposed the divorce.
Did this person really care about Cynthia so much?
Joshua knew he would not get the answer to this question now.
Thinking about this incident, he had someone investigate it and then resumed his own affairs.
Mitchell was in a relatively good mood when he left the Neal Group. Later, he called Cynthia to assure her he had
clarified everything with Joshua
Cynthia responded faintly, “Okay.”
“Your reaction doesn’t seem right.” Mitchell was always straightforward with her.
Cynthia had already come to terms with it.
“It doesn’t matter whether he believes it or not. I’m thinking about going to Old Neal Manor for dinner tonight. I
think they’re going to ask me to postpone the divorce until after Grandpa’s birthday.”
