Chapter 98

Before Cynthia could answer Old Man Neal, he continued, “I’ll miss you very much.”

“In the future, you can come to Nexuria and visit me, or you can call me,” Cynthia comforted.

“Can you not divorce Joshua?” Old Man Neal’s voice was heavy, and he seemed to have aged severalyears. “As long as you don’t leave, I promise he will treat you well. I’ll also take care of that Jayleen.”

“Grandpa,” Joshua spoke discontentedly.

Old Man Neal scolded him harshly, “Shut up!”

What a useless guy! He could not even keep his own wife.

“Grandpa, a forced marriage is not a happy one. I don’t like him anymore, and it’s better for everyone ifwe divorce.” Cynthia no longer had any feelings for Joshua.

“Exactly,” Moses chimed in, his gaze shifting toward Joshua. “Forcing Cynthia to be with someone shedoesn’t love, isn’t that unfair to her?”

Old Man Neal glared at Moses.

What nonsense was he spouting?!

Joshua’s eyes were also dark, and he looked at Moses with a terrifying aura.

“Cynthia, would you like to go out and have some fun with me later?” Moses hinted at Cynthia, helpingher out of the situation. “I have a few friends I can introduce you to, and after the divorce, you still needto develop your career.”

“Okay,” Cynthia agreed.

Joshua was infuriated by this.

Okay?

Did this woman even know what kind of people Moses, the little rascal, was introducing her to?

“Grandpa, I’ll take Cynthia out first.” Moses winked at Old Man Neal. “You and Joshua can continue toeat.”

“Okay.” Old Man Neal nodded.

Joshua was at a loss for words, frowning.

He felt strange about tonight’s events. Joshua could not imagine Old Man Neal just standing by andwatching as Moses took Cynthia away, especially at a time when he and Cynthia were going through adivorce.

“Does it bother you?” Old Man Neal suddenly spoke up.

“What?” Joshua was caught off guard.

“Seeing Cynthia taken away by someone else. Does it bother you? Your cooling–off period ends nextWednesday, and the divorce will take place. Then, someone else will be the one to remind her to weara jacket, to offer her warmth and support.” Old Man Neal was serious this time as he spoke from hisheart.

Old Man Neal continued, looking up at Joshua, “You’ll become just a passing figure in her life. If youhear all this and feel no emotion, go ahead with the divorce. But if you feel even the slightestdiscomfort, I hope you’ll fight for her.”

“There’s no need for that.” Joshua suppressed his emotions. Since he had decided to divorce, heshould stick to that path. Even if he felt uncomfortable and did not want any other man near Cynthia, itwas just possessiveness after being together for so long.

It did not mean anything.

Besides, since he had promised Jayleen a future, he could not let her down.

“Joshua!” Old Man Neal felt like he could not get through to Joshua.

“I know my feelings for Cynthia better than anyone. The decision to divorce was made after carefulconsideration. I’m an adult, and I know what I’m doing,” Joshua said determinedly.

“Fine then!” Old Man Neal was getting angry again. “Don’t come crying to me for help later.”

Joshua remained silent.

“If you dare to marry Jayleen, get out of the Neal family.” Old Man Neal glared at him.

“Grandpa, she’s a good girl. Please don’t have too much of an opinion about her,” Joshua spoke.

“A good girl? A good girl would not destroy someone else’s marriage. She wouldn’t be so intimate withyou after discovering you’re married. She wouldn’t make you divorce Cynthia for her! Can’t you havesome common sense?” Old Man Neal felt like Joshua’s morality had been shattered.
