Chapter 16

Before Joshua could say anything, Cynthia spoke up, “Mr. Neal, please don’t let your eyes wander on my body.”

Joshua quickly changed the subject, not wanting to dwell on his guilty conscience. “I need to talk to you. I have something to discuss.”

Cynthia continued to dry her hair, opening the door slightly. “If it’s about Jayleen and Mitchell, there’s no need. We have nothing to discuss.”

“It’s not,” Joshua replied patiently, despite his dislike of her attitude.

He needed to find out what kind of person Cynthia truly was.

Cynthia had calmed down considerably after her shower. She put down her towel and asked, What is it?”

“I’d like to visit your family. My grandfather was right. In the two years from our marriage to our divorce, I never visited your parents. That’s not proper etiquette,” Joshua said solemnly, looking serious.

“No need,” Cynthia refused.

“I just want to apologize to your parents; I won’t cause any trouble.” Joshua’s gaze deepened, his voice low and slow.

Cynthia maintained her earlier attitude. “Really, there’s no need.”

‘Are you so against it because there’s some secret in your family?” Joshua recalled what Yoel had said earlier.

“Yes, my family is too rich. I’m afraid you’ll visit, decide you want my fortune, refuse to divorce me, and use my money to support your villas in Sovereign Heights,” Cynthia said seriously, her eyes giving nothing away.

Joshua did not believe a word of that, but he played along and asked, “I know of the wealthy families and corporations, but which one is yours?”

“The Yates Group,” Cynthia blurted out.
