Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 13

He had wanted to agree. Cynthia did not want him to interfere in her divorce, but seeing her being bullied, he had to help her as her friend. Moreover, Mr. Yates had sent him here to let Joshua know that Cynthia had someone supporting her.

“Anything is fine with me.” Cynthia misunderstood the look in Mitchell’s eyes for the first time, thinking he was on Chyler’s side.

“Alright,” Mitchell agreed.

Chyler’s eyes became even more amused and then left after exchanging some pleasantries.

Only after the door closed did Cynthia speak to Mitchell, as rational as ever, “Just interact with them as you usually do, don’t worry about me being there.”

“Okay.” Mitchell did not bother explaining.

That worked out well. When they met with Joshua later, he would not have to be overly polite. Chyler returned with a grin, standing outside the private room door, and raised an eyebrow at Joshua. “He declined to share a table, not wanting us to disturb their meal.”

Joshua’s eyes deepened, and the hand in his pocket hesitated.

“However, they agreed to join us later.” Chyler added with a twist, his following words laden with implications, “You didn’t see how obedient Mitchell was to Cynthia. Tsk, tsk, you’d think they were a couple if you didn’t know better.”

“You should get your eyes checked. And find a teacher to brush up on your language skills while you’re at it,” Joshua retorted dismissively, then strode back to the private room.

Chyler did not understand what Joshua said, so he tapped on Yiordan’s arm. “What does he mean?”

Yiordan, surrounded by a gentle aura, replied with a faint smile, “The phrase ‘obedient‘ is inadequately used. You’ve misread their relationship, so Joshua advises you to go get your eyes checked.”

Chyler gritted his teeth in defeat.

‘You win this time. Just wait and see how I’ll deal with you later,‘ he thought playfully.

Half an hour later, Chyler had Joshua and Yiordan go first while he went to pick up Cynthia and Mitchell. After picking them up, he led them to the club upstairs, which was filled with drinks and games designed specifically for guests to enjoy after their meal.

The restaurant’s owner was none other than Chyler himself.

Chyler noticed Joshua’s gaze fixated on Cynthia and never moving away. A hint of a smile graced his lips. “Let me introduce you to my friends Joshua and Yiordan. This is Mitchell, the young master from Nexuria, and his friend.”

Mitchell exchanged brief pleasantries with them.

Joshua and Cynthia stared at each other as if trying to bore holes into each other’s faces with their eyes.
