Chapter 19

Joshua’s gaze faltered. His eyes moved from Cynthia to Mr. Cheyne. “What do you mean?”

“Do you really like Ms. Shaw, or is it just the obsession and unwillingness to let go of this past relationship? Even though it’s only been two years, are you sure Ms. Shaw is still the same Ms. Shaw you knew?” Mr. Cheyne inquired.

“What are you trying to say?” Joshua seemed a bit annoyed by the question.

“I’m worried that you’re misunderstanding your emotions.” Mr. Cheyne acted as an emotional consultant. “You might miss out on your chance with your wife.”

Joshua did not answer.

He was very clear about his feelings for Jayleen; he liked her. Even now, whenever he recalled her gentleness and company, it helped him calm down and focus on dealing with matters.

If it were not for their breakup, they might already be married.

“Actually, there’s a simple and direct way to test whether you really like Ms. Shaw or not.” Mr. Cheyne’s lips curved into a grin he could not quite hide, the seeds of gossip already sprouting. “The question is, are you willing to give it a try?”

Joshua looked at him. “What?”

“Being attracted to someone comes with sexual impulses. Think about whether or not you have any sexual impulses towards Ms. Shaw,” Mr. Cheyne whispered into Joshua’s ear so that only the two of them could hear.

Joshua, as an adult, knew what that meant.

Mr. Cheyne asked softly, “Do you?”

No.

That was Joshua’s first reaction.

Whether it was in the past or now, he had never had any such thoughts about Jayleen. All he wanted was to care for her and ensure that she led a happy life.

However, with Cynthia….
