Chapter 77

Cynthia was shocked when she heard Old Man Neal’s voice.

“Grandpa? What brings you here?” Cynthia asked, setting down her utensils and standing up.

“Is this all you’re having for lunch?” Old Man Neal asked, his expression full of concern.

“I wasn’t very hungry, so I prepared lunch with whatever’s available here. Have you eaten? If not, I’ll ask them to get something for you,” Cynthia explained politely.

Old Man Neal’s gaze lingered on her for a moment, his expression complex. He asked, “Do they listen to you?”

Cynthia pursed her lips, unsure how to answer.

“Tell Grandpa, did Joshua confine you here and not allow you to go out?” Old Man Neal was angry at Joshua.

“Grandpa, please believe me. Joshua isn’t keeping me here against my will,” Cynthia lied, not wanting him to worry too much. Besides, if she really wanted to leave, these people would not be able to stop her.

Cynthia was willing to stay here for the time being because she did not want to deal with the drama anymore or argue with Joshua about Jayleen.
