Chapter 93

Cynthia was a little distressed. In the past 20 years, she loved Selena the most. After all, it was a child's nature to love their mother. Before Shirley's return, Selena loved Cynthia without reservation, but everything changed after Shirley's return. Cynthia had lost her home and parents. As for her biological mother, Rachel York, Cynthia never even talked to the former

face-to-face.

Although Cynthia had investigated a lot of things about Rachel, she had not visited the latter since she went to prison. Thus, there was no such thing as love between them.

"What about the others? Who else could I talk to? The Yates? They have no obligation to worry about me. Naomi' It has been three years since Naomi returned to the Sullivan family. She's out of reach, thought Cynthia.

At that moment, only one person was left in Cynthia's mind. Jonathan? Since when did the only person I could think of who's reliable and trustworthy in my life come down to that face she wondered. Then, she sighed. Hector seemed to see through Cynthia's mind and suddenly said. "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may."

Cynthia laughed and said, "He is no rosebud." Of course, Jonathan was no rosebud. The biggest mistake in Cynthia's life was to treat Jonathan like a flower in a greenhouse and keep him there.

In reality, Jonathan was as cold as the moon in front of others, and hot as the blazing sun in front of Cynthia. There were times when Cynthia felt herself falling, little by little, for him no matter how hard she tried to restrain herself. Whether to end that relationship or not was something that Cynthia thought about constantly, but sometimes, she felt

reluctant.

Hector looked at Cynthia calmly and said, "He's your medicine. I think you should try based on that alone."

Cynthia sighed and replied, "He's Mr. Bennett from Betrico."

"You scared?" asked Hector.

Cynthia answered frankly, "I am."

Betrico was already a place to be reckoned with, not to mention the Bennett family of Betrico. It was practically the eye of

the storm.

Cynthia did not like a life of scheming. However, it would be inevitable if she got together with Jonathan.

"Do you love him then?" asked Hector.

Cynthia blurted out, "Yes." She was always honest in front of Hector. After a while, she sighed again and said, "Very much." Cynthia knew very well what her heart wanted.

When Filip returned, Cynthia insisted on breaking up with Jonathan not because she cared about Filip. Instead, it was because she had found herself in love with Jonathan. She had become increasingly obsessed with the smell and warmth of his body. She felt like she was losing control.

Cynthia moved back to Greenfield Villa later on not because of the pressure from Jonathan either. Instead, it was because she missed him so much that she finally gave in.

On the surface, Cynthia laid down the rules. However, it was mainly to restrict herself rather than Jonathan. She wanted to be rational and restrained. She did not want to sink deeper and deeper and lose herself.

If love was only a feeling, Cynthia would have fallen for it a thousand times. However, her love was rational, contradictory, restrained, and even selfish.

Cynthia kept reminding herself they would eventually part, so she kept Jonathan at a distance. Like a door left ajar, one could see what was inside and touch it, but they could not embrace it completely. At that moment, Hector's words struck Cynthia. Thus, she stood up, picked up her bag, and was about to leave.

"Where are you going?" Hector could not help but ask.

thia suddenly smiled brightly and replied, "Open the door for someone,"

Cynthia could not explain it. Perhaps it was the first time she acknowledged her love, or maybe because she finally made her mind after a long time dwelling on it.

up

After all, Cynthia had never been a coward. She thought, 'So what if I got dragged into a war? Or a mountain of swords and sea of fire?' At that moment, she only wanted to be with Jonathan officially. Cynthia was a little excited. She wanted to see Jonathan immediately. She wanted to hold him tight and tell him that she loved him. That was all

Soon, Cynthia arrived at BJ Building and strutted through the front door. Her picture was still scrolling on the big screen. She felt embarrassed the last time she was there, but she was in a good mood now. Everyone still greeted Cynthia respectfully, and she smiled back at them. The title of Jonathan's girlfriend felt great.

As soon as Cynthia got out of the elevator, she bumped into Shirley, who was about to enter the elevator. Shirley was also stunned when she saw Cynthia.

Cynthia did not want to interact with Shirley at all. Thus, Cynthia exited the elevator and went straight toward Jonathan's

office.

However, Shirley suddenly ran after Cynthia and stood in front of the latter. "Cynthia, what are you doing here?" asked Shirley.

Cynthia raised her eyes and glanced at Shirley, Cynthia replied lazily, Tm here to see my boyfriend. Is there a problem?"

Shirley exploded when she heard the word boyfriend and shouted, "Cynthia, you're so shameless. You were married to Filip. Yet, you go around telling people you were Jonathan's girlfriend when you cheated with him. How can an abandoned woman like you deserve him?"

Shirley did not know what happened between Cynthia and Filip. She only knew that Cynthia and Filip had been married. She thought Cynthia was twisted and hooked up with men because Filip loved Lilian and ignored Cynthia.

Furious, Shirley continued, "Jonathan is only temporarily mesmerized by you for now. He'll soon realize you're just a bitch that no one wants. Here you are thinking of being Mrs. Bennett, In your dreams."

Cynthia remained calm at Shirley's scolding. Then, Cynthia smiled and said. "Should I let you have the title of Mrs. Bennett then?"

Shirley was stunned, but she could not help replying. "Yes."

Cynthia smiled and glanced behind Shirley. "Jon, you have a lot of admirers. It seems the Mrs. Bennett's title might not be enough to share," said Cynthia.

Shirley froze. Jon? Jonathan is behind me?" she thought. Sure enough, when she turned around, she saw a tall and slender figure.

Jonathan walked to Cynthia with a cold face. He seemed upset as he said, "You're the only one uninterested in being Mrs. Bennett. Although his expression was cold and indifferent when he said that, his tone was very gentle. Shirley was dumbfounded. She realized Cynthia had set her up. She said that on purpose because she saw Jonathan behind
