Chapter 613

“Why don’t you like him?” Cynthia asked.

Joshua stayed silent. The reason was pretty straightforward. If Captain continued to stay close to Cynthia, there was a high chance that she might be taken away by him. Before he could stabilize his relationship with Cynthia, he could not afford to let that happen.

“Is it that difficult to answer?” she asked, sensing his hesitation.

“Before 1 answer that question, Cynthia, can 1 ask you one?” Joshua countered.

“Go alead.”

“If both Captain and I fell into the sea, and there were many venomous sea snaloes in the water, and you could only save one of us, who would you choose to save?” Joshua’s question was asked with utmost seriousness.

Cynthia was left speechless by this outlandish question. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Seeing her hesitation, Joshua pressed on, “You would save Captain, wouldn’t you?”

“I’d save you.” Cynthia said without hesitation. She owed Joshua a life. If such a situation did arise, she would save him first. However, she would still find a way to save Captain afterward. However, such a situation was unlikely. Captain was far more capable than her and would not need her to save him.

Joshua was momentarily taken aback, and his heart missed a beat. If not for his swift control over his emotions, he might have exposed his mental recovery.

“Why? Aren’t you and Captain very close?” he asked with the Innocent curiosity of a child.

“You’re already asking a second question. It’s your turn to answer my question now.” Cynthia diverted the topic, realizing that Joshua’s mental state might have improved.

As justrua looked at Cynthia, he suddenly felt he did not understand her at all. With what Yoel had told him, he could confidently say that Cynthia did not like him. However, if she did not, why would she choose to save him? Was she merely trying to keep him happy, or was it because he had saved her on Queneska Island?

“I fear that you will end up with him. Once you two have a child, you won’t need me anymore,” Joshua responded. His skills in telling lies had improved remarkably.

Cynthia was baffled. “Where did you hear such things?”

“Nobody told me,” he responded

“Your way of thinking is incorrect. Even if Captain and I were

together, which we are n you have not yet recovered,” Cynthia declared, feeling the exhaustion of raising a child.

As she spoke, Joshua’s gaze dropped. He looked crestfallen.

Was she trying to persuade him?

Cynthia was concerned that her care was spoiling Joshua. “You can’t dislike Captain because of this. He has always been very attentive to you.”

A deep shadow fell over Joshua’s eyes.

Carling?

He knew all too well whether Matthew cared about Inm or not.

He was absolutely certain that Matthew wanted him out of the way so that he could have Cynthia all to himself!

“Joshua, you need to apologize to Captain. You lind and wronged him last night, and he did not even expose your lies,” she said, noticing Joshua’s unhappy expression.

As soon as these words left her mouth, Cynthika stopped short. If Captain knew Joshua was pretending, why did he not expose

him directly? Thinking about this reminded her of the many times Captain had asked her to observe details.

“Alright,” Joshua agreed.

Cynthia examined Joshua carefully, seeing no significant difference from before, apart from his attitude. So, she took him to find Captain.

Whether it was Cynthia or Matthew, neither could imagine that Joshua’s acting was at its best in front of Cynthia. Before her, there was no chance of him being exposed.

When they arrived at Matthew’s house, Joshua obediently stood there.
