Chapter 130“Do you want me to tie you up and throw you in the car, or will you get in on your own?” Chyler approached Ellora, making her fearful and wanting to run away.“You can’t kill my baby,” Ellora’s eyes turned red as she clutched onto her phone until her knuckles turned white. “This baby […]
Chapter 130 “Do you want me to tie you up and throw you in the car, or will you get in on your own?” Chyler approached Ellora, making her fearful and wanting to run away. “You can’t kill my baby.” Ellora’s eyes turned red as she clutched onto her phone until her knuckles turned white. “This baby is yours!” Chyler sneered. His eyes were filled with mockery as he placed his hand on her cold face. “How did you get pregnant with my baby while I was on a business trip?” Ellora’s eyes turned red, and she bit her lip tightly. “As long as you get rid of this baby and stay by my side in the future, I can give you everything you want. Even if you want to be famous, I can make it happen.” Chyler’s warm fingertips wiped away her tears, and his tone softened. Ellora shook her head. She did not want to be famous, nor did she want to stay by his side. She just wanted her baby in her belly. “Be a good girl.” Chyler was like a demon, emitting a dangerous aura. “Come with me to the hospital.” “I’m not going.” Ellora refused. She stepped back from him, feeling a sense of panic like never before. Chyler still felt her warmth in his palm, and his gaze grew darker. Then, he spoke coldly, “Don’t make me use force.” Ellora and Chyler were at a stalemate. Just then, Mitchell came down from upstairs. Seeing them in the living room with obvious tension, he did not think too much and just asked, “How’s Cynthia?” “She’s sober now. She was still sleeping when I got up.” Ellora replied calmly, but a thought popped into her mind. Chyler heard their conversation and glanced at them. From their words, he understood that Mitchell had called Ellora to take care of Cynthia. What the hell was Joshua thinking? Why did he not take care of his own wife? “Thank you for last night,” Mitchell said, dressed in a suit. He was polite and gentleman–like. Ellora replied blandly, “It was nothing.” Chyler became emotional again. What did she mean by that? What was the relationship between Ellora and Mitchell? Why was she willing to take care of Cynthia, whom she had never met, just because of Mitchell? “Mr. Cyrus, I heard rumors that you have no interest in women, but now it seems that the rumors are false. I never thought that you have so many female confidantes,” Chyler said casually, but his eyes revealed some depth. Mitchell was confused, while Ellora remained silent. 212 What a lunaticl “I’m just wondering how you met Ellora,” Chyler said, looking directly at Mitchell. As a very wise person, Mitchell immediately understood the relationship between Chyler and Ellora. “Ms. Reynolds is Cynthia’s friend, so of course, I met Ellora through Cynthia,” he said calmly. Chyler froze. Ellora was Cynthia’s friend? “What’s the matter? Don’t you know that Ms. Reynolds is friends with Cynthia? Mitchell asked, enjoying the drama and saying the most piercing words calmly. “Of course, I do. I just didn’t expect that you’d expand your social circle in such a unique way. It seems like you know all of Cynthia’s friends? Chyler lied without batting an eye, trying to play it off as if it was nothing. “More or less,” Mitchell replied with a faint smile, as if it was the most natural thing in the world. He and Cynthia had grown up together, and their friends also knew each other. Only Ellora became friends with Cynthia later on Chyler wanted to pry open Mitchell’s head and see what he was thinking. How could he say such things so calmly? Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward!
Chapter 129 Cynthia even kissed the pretty boy’s face after saying that. Joshua immediately woke up from the anger and angrily checked his phone. When he found that it was only five in the morning, he rubbed his tired temples. Then, he grabbed his coat and stormed into Moses’s room, throwing him off the bed before lying down. This time, Joshua managed to sleep somewhat soundly. Moses, who was suddenly thrown to the ground, opened his eyes dazedly. What happened? Why was he on the ground? However, these questions did not linger in his mind for too long. As Moses was exhausted, he just turned over and slept on the floor, where the furry carpet kept him warm. The next morning, Ellora was the first to wake up. After freshening up and getting dressed, she went downstairs. She was always tired during the first month of her pregnancy, but lately, she had been sleeping less than usual. Ellore sat in the living room and responded to messages on her phone. Before she could reply to more than a few, a displeased and chilly voice suddenly sounded. “What are you doing here?” Ellora was shocked. She turned around and saw Chyler. She became a bit flustered and stood up from the sofa. “…” Ellora tried to explain, but as soon as she saw his face, she remembered what he had asked her to do as soon as she saw his face. “Why didn’t I know you’re capable of doing this? You can even get into private parties,” Chyler said, misunderstanding the situation as he approached her with a chil ing air. “Did you come to see Joshua, Mitchell, or Moses?” “Mr. Cyrus asked me to take care of…” Ellora tried to explain, but Chyler got angry, and his entire body exuded a fierce aura. “He asked you to come, so you came? Did you spend the night in his room yesterday? Chyler asked, not listening and staring at her emotionlessly. “No. He asked me to take care of… Ellora explained, not wanting him to misunderstand. “Did you get the abortion? Chyler interrupted her, not giving her a chance to explain. His intimidating presence made Ellora instinctively move away from him. “It seems you haven’t done it yet.” Chyler’s eyes were filled with coldness, but his slow tone made it hard for Ellora to breathe. She took two steps back and confronted him, “This is my child. You have no right to ask me to abort it.” “When you cheated on me, did you think about that? Chyler’s tone was sarcastic, and his eyes showed no warmth. “I’ll take you there myself later. Don’t threaten me with suicide. It’s useless.” He had put up with it before, but this time he would not allow her to act recklessly. Ellora panicked, and her heart was in turmoil. “Don’t you dare!” “Let’s seel” Chyler’s gaze became fierce, unlike when he was with Joshua and the others. “If you dare lay a hand on my child, I hate you for life!” Ellora said this without confidence, knowing it would not threaten him.. Chyler’s heart hurt for a moment, but he did not show it on his face. Instead, he smirked and said with a hint of disdain, “If you want to hate me, then go ahead. I won’t allow you to keep the bastard in your belly.” As he spoke, Chyler took out his phone and made a call, He asked his assistant to contact the private hospital under his company and prepare for the abortion surgery. He would take Ellora there immediately. Ellora panicked when she heard this. She knew that she could not escape from Chyler. Moreover, this was the suburbs, and she could not run away. Everyone in the villa was his friend, so she could not ask for help. As for Cynthia… She was already hurting from Joshua’s actions, and Ellora could not bear dragging her down with her.
Chapter 128 Ellora nodded in agreement. “No matter how good–looking, wealthy, or muscular someone is, if their heart doesn’t belong to you, it’s all for nothing,” she said. Cynthia joined her on the bed, feeling a twinge of guilt. I’m sorry. You’re pregnant, and I shouldn’t have let you come here so late at night, but I was too drunk.” “It’s okay. You’re my friend,” Ellora said, taking her hand. She was happy that Cynthia had thought of her when she needed someone, which made her realize that she had some purpose in life. Cynthia asked, “Did you go for a prenatal checkup? How’s the baby?” “It’s doing well, Ellora replied, her tone gentle and happy. Hearing this, Cynthia felt reassured. Then, they turned off the lights and lay on the bed, each with their own thoughts, entering the long night ahead. Later that night, Cynthia quickly fell asleep and had no dreams about Joshua’s kiss. However, Ellora was filled with thoughts. As for Joshua downstairs, he had made a phone call to Yoel after Cynthia had gone upstairs. It was past three in the morning, and anyone who received a phone call at this nour would be annoyed, including Yoel. “Can’t this wait until tomorrow? Why do you have to call at this hour? Dont think that you can do whatever you want just because you’re my employer,” Yoel answered the phone with a grumpy tone. “Get up and take the call. I’ll give you a bonus of 1,500 USD this month as compensation for your sleep,” Joshua said. Yoel immediately perked up at the mention of the 1,500 USD bonus. He quickly sat up and rubbed his eyes before putting on his glasses from the bedside table. Then, he spoke with his usual tone, “Mr. Neal, please elaborate.” “Help me check on someone.” “Who?” “Bailey.” Joshua’s eyes darkened when he said the name He could investigate Cynthia’s first love later, but he must immediately find out who Bailey was since Cynthia would hug him to sleep and even complain about Joshua being uncomfortable hugging. Joshua wanted to see what kind of face and soft body could make Cynthia still think about him after two years of marriage. Yoel was confused. “You only have the first name?” “It’s related to Cynthia and is very intimate with her. They were together almost every day.” Joshua said, unable to tell him directly about Cynthia’s situation. Thus, he had to beat around the bush. Cynthia? “You can put down everything that’s not very important for now. You don’t have to clean the tollets either. Just quickly find out all the information about Bailey and give it to me.” “Okay, Mr. Neal,” Yoel said happily upon hearing that he did not have to clean the toilets. Joshua hummed and hung up the phone. He fiddled with his phone, intending to ask the hacker to help him investigate, but he was afraid that the other party would know he was Joshua, No friend would help with everything. After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Yosef from Nexuria, asking him to help investigate. Since Cynthia was from Nexuria too, it should be easier to find information from Yosef’s side. After finishing everything, he took off his tie and lay on the sofa to sleep. However, he did not sleep as peacefully as Cynthia. He had just fallen asleep when he dreamed of Cynthia cuddling with two men. Both looked extremely handsome and were very good at pleasing her. She held the soft and fluffy one and said to him, “Joshua, you have Jayleen, and I have my little Bailey and my first love.”
Chapter 127 1/2 Joshua could not help but stare at Cynthia’s increasingly red lips as she rubbed them, and he felt his mouth go dry. After hearing her words, he walked over and looked at her from above. His voice was low and husky as he asked, “What did you say?” “I said…” Cynthia started to reply, but Joshua interrupted her. “Mm.” Joshua’s hand was behind her head, while the other arm was wrapped around her waist, his movements gentle yet provocative. Cynthia was no match for him when it came to situations like this. Whenever he kissed her, she would inevitably fall for him, eventually surrendering to his advances. A cool and restrained person like him would become a bewitching devil that one could not resist once lost in desire, and it was a temptation that could not be ignored. If Cynthia’s remaining brain cell did not remind her, she would probably fall deeper into his embrace. “Joshua” Cynthia used all her strength to push him away. Joshuas breath was unsteady, his dark eyes revealing a hint of something extra, while his thin lips became more moist. Cynthia blushed and glared at him. “How many times do I have to tell you, don’t kiss me with the mouth. you’ve used to kiss Jayleen! I’m afraid of getting infected with helicobacter pylori!” Joshua was no longer angry but amused. Helicobacter pylori. He could not believe she had come up with that. “I’ve only kissed you,” Joshua said. He had a dignified and indifferent demeanor, but his disheveled clothes betrayed his repressed desire. “If you’re worried about the infection, you already had it when we got married.” “Get lost!” Cynthia cursed at him. Joshua looked at her slightly red face and suddenly felt good. “Do you want to get checked? I’ll pay.” Cynthia did not say anything. She really wanted this annoying man to disappear. “No need.” Cynthia wiped her mouth again and headed toward the stairs, glaring at him before going upstairs. As she watched Cynthia’s angry figure disappear, Joshua unconsciously smiled. He did not even understand why Cynthia could easily stir up his most primal desires. This feeling only appeared when he was with Cynthia. Cynthia went upstairs feeling agitated. However, she calmed herself down before opening the door to the room to avoid waking up Ellora. To her surprise, the light inside the room was on. Chapple 12 “What’s wrong?” Ellora asked, noticing Cynthia’s unusual mood. “Who made you angry?” “No one,” Cynthia replied. She was usually calm and rational in front of others, but she could not help getting angry whenever she was around Joshua. “Why are you up? Did I wake you up?” “No.” Ellora answered briefly before asking. “Joshua is your soon–to–be ex–husband, right?” “Yes,” Cynthia confirmed. “Who’s his lover?” “Jayleen Shaw.” “I haven’t heard of her before.” Ellora was puzzled, but she quickly moved on to the next question. “Are you really willing to divorce Joshua? He’s the dream husband of many women! He’s handsome, rich, and has a great figure.” Although Ellora worked in the entertainment industry, she did not keep up with every trending topic. Hence, she did not know about the incident that made Jayleen trending a while ago. “He’s quite good–looking. Unfortunately, he’s a scumbag.” Cynthia appreciated good looks and would not discredit Joshua’s appearance. “Truc.”
Chapter 126 ber128 “Saley is not right for you” Cynthia could not imagine a tall, muscular man holding a plush toy while sleeping Joshua was infuriated Did she really think he wanted to sleep with Bailey?! He just wanted to see what kind of person would catch Cynthia’s eye.. If Joshua ever found out who was shameless enough to sleep with Cynthia, he would kick him out of both Jiverton and Nexuria, and he would never have a chance to get close to Cynthia again! “How long have you been sleeping with him?” Joshua knew he should not care, but the thought of Cynthial returning to that person’s embrace after their divorce made his heart ache. What right did Cynthia have to call him a scumbag when she had someone she could sleep with whenever she wanted? At least he had never slept with anyone when he was with her. Cynthia remembered she bought Bailey for herself as a gift when she was seventeen. Now she was twenty -four, excluding the two years of marriage, that was twenty–two. Then, minus seventeen, so it was a total of five years. Joshua was about to explode. Why was it so difficult to calculate? “Is it that hard to figure out?” His voice was tense. Cynthia was brought back to reality by Joshua’s sudden proximity, and she instinctively stepped back. However, she found herself backed against the table and could not retreat any further. Joshua felt her rejection and distance, and he felt inexplicably annoyed. Cynthia also realized that she seemed to be following his rhythm, so she quickly gathered herself and retorted, “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t care about my past? As long as I’m wholeheartedly devoted to you. when we’re married, isn’t that enough? “Are you?” Joshua could not forget when Mitchell asked her if she wanted to sleep with him or alone, and she blurted out that she wanted to sleep with Bailey because he was comfortable to hug. Joshua recalled that she had always been particular about appearances, and he could not help but wonder how good–looking Bailey was for Cynthia to still think about him even after two years of marriage. “Yes,” Cynthia answered his question. “Cynthia, you’re the one who’s a scumbag.” Joshua did not want to ask any more questions. The more he asked, the more uncomfortable he felt. “When we sleep together every night, do you think about holding Bailey?” She did. Cynthia admitted this silently to herself. After all, she had been hugging Bailey for five years, and it was really hard to get used to not being able to hug him after getting married. “No one owes anyone anything between us,” Joshua said with a heavy tone. His collar felt tight around his neck. “But if you dare to divorce me and show up with him, I can’t guarantee he’ll leave my sight unscathed.” “You’re so childish,‘ Cynthia said. Maybe because Joshua was being kept up at night by the thoughts of Bailey and her first love, or maybe because of his possessiveness, he could not control himself anymore after Cynthia said those words. Then, Joshua lowered his head and kissed her lips, which were cold and soft, unleashing the beast he had been suppressing for a long time. Cynthia was caught off guard by Joshua’s sudden move. Her lips were covered with warmth, and she froze. Her innocent appearance only made Joshua’s inner beast more excited. With one hand on the back of her head, he deepened the kiss as he was about to conquer her. Suddenly, Cynthia pushed him away and shouted, “What are you doing?” Her heart was racing her face was red, and her eyes misty with tears. Cynthia quickly wiped her mouth. Joshua’s eyes darkened, staring at her plump lips. Finally, he cleared his throat and said, “What do you mean? This is just a kiss between husband and wife.” Cynthia was furious, but she could not say anything. She wiped her lips twice again as she reminded him, You have Jayleen now. Don’t kiss me with lips that have been on someone else. It’s disgusting.”
Chapter 125 Cynthia paused momentarily, then responded in her usual indifferent tone, “There’s nothing to talk about.” “I think there’s quite a bit to talk about. Like, who was your first love? Joshua replied as he brought her another glass of water and stood in her way, blocking her path. Cynthia remained silent. “You really liked him?” Joshua pressed on. “Do you care?” Cynthia shot back. After spending so much time with Joshua, she knew which questions would stump him. However, she seemed to have misjudged this time as Joshua’s eyes darkened, and his voice became hoarse. “I’m just curious who could make you remember them for so many years.” “Oh,” Cynthia said, ready with an answer. Joshua was taken aback. Oh? “He’s just like you,” Cynthia added, leaning her back against the table. “A scumbag.” Joshua’s face turned even darker. This woman! “If you’re really curious about him, you can look at yourself for reference. You’re both equally matched. when it comes to being a scumbag.” Cynthia went on indifferently. Joshua’s gaze grew even darker, and his demeanor was colder. Just when Cynthia thought he was about to explode, he asked, “Who is Bailey? Cynthia hesitated for a moment. Bailey was her sleeping companion, a plush toy specially designed to fit her hugging habits. However, she would not tell Joshua that. “What’s wrong, can’t say it?” Joshua felt this was the angriest he had ever gotten in his whole life. “There’s nothing I can say. Bailey is my sleeping companion.” Cynthia leaned against the table, facing Joshua. As soon as the words fell, Joshua clenched his jaw and pursed his lips. Sleeping companion?! If it were not for his remaining rationality holding him back, he would have stripped this sleeping companion naked and thrown him out to be paraded in the streets! “I never thought my wife’s private life before our marriage was so exciting.” Joshua gritted his teeth, the coldness in his black eyes almost solidifying. “Why don’t you let me sleep with your sleeping companion too?” Cynthia was taken aback. Moses, who had come out from hearing the commotion, said awkwardly, “Joshua… when did you develop Chapp: 125 such a peculiar taste? If you like men, you can find a boyfriend. Don’t steal Cynthia’s.” 2/2 Joshua was furious now, emitting a terrifying aura. “If you still want to stay in Jiverton, then go back to your room.” Moses promptly shut up. He closed the door and stopped eavesdropping. “Are you going to let me sleep with Bailey? Joshua returned to the topic, speaking seriously. Cynthia felt slightly embarrassed listening to him, and her face turned red. She was very curious about how the handsome Joshua managed to say such things with a straight face. If someone did not know better, they would think he was discussing something serious with her. Joshua noticed her dilemma, and he could hardly suppress the anger in his heart. “Can’t bear it?”
Chapter 124 Moses laughed casually and leaned toward Joshua. “I’m doing this for you, you know?” Joshua stared at him, clearly conveying the message that he had no right to say such a thing. “Now that it’s just the two of us…. Tell me. How did you feel when you found out about Cynthia’s unresolved first love?” Moses was all about the gossip. In one gulp, Joshua downed a glass of wine and said coldly, “I didn’t feel anything.” “Stop putting on an act. If you really felt nothing, would you have asked Cynthia for the name, age, and profession of her first love while playing Truth or Dare? Moses called him out. Joshua remained silent. This guy was so annoying “Sometimes you have to face your own feelings.” Moses hit the nail on the head. The purpose of tonight’s game was to make Joshua realize that he liked Cynthia, and his reaction to the question about her first love proved that he cared a lot about her unresolved feelings for that person. Moses decided to play a more serious card. “How would you feel if Cynthia’s first love came back and asked her to divorce you and marry him?” “She wouldn’t dare.” Joshua’s eyes turned cold. “Why wouldn’t she? You divorced her for your first love, so why couldn’t she do the same for hers?” Joshua’s icy gaze swept over him, and a chilling aura emanated. In the end, he just said, “It’s not the same.” “Well, if you say so.” Moses had said all he needed to say, leaving the rest up to Joshua. “Grandpa’s 80th birthday party is in the works. If you want Cynthia to stay married to you a little longer, you can tell her about it tomorrow morning.” After saying this, Moses went back to his room. Joshua sat alone in the brightly lit living room, thinking about Moses’s words and feeling a wave of restlessness in his heart. He reached up and loosened his tie, smoothing his breathing. At three in the morning. Joshua fell asleep on the couch. Suddenly, there was a faint sound of a door opening upstairs, and he woke up as he was a light sleeper. Joshua looked toward the sound and saw Cynthia coming down from upstairs. She wore light–colored pajamas, and her eyes had returned to their usual indifference. Joshua knew that Cynthia had sobered up. Cynthia had indeed sobered up. Even though she did not have a good tolerance for alcohol, she could wake up sober after sleeping for a few hours. Chap 124 She was thirsty and had planned to go downstairs for some water when she saw Joshua sitting on the couch, looking at her. Their eyes met, and they were enveloped in an invisible bond. Cynthia stood at the corner of the stairs, facing Joshua. Joshua was the first to speak, his voice low and hoarse, “Do you want some water?” “Mmhmm,” Cynthia replied softly. Although Joshua could not hear her response, he could tell from her expression. He stood up, poured a glass of warm water, and placed it before her when she came downstairs. Then, he said slowly, “Have some warm water.” “Thank you.” Cynthia said as she took the glass. Joshua noticed she finished the water in one go and knew she was extremely thirsty. When she put down the glass, he asked, “Do you want more?” “No, thank you,” Cynthia replied. She did not want to linger around anymore. Last night, she was not completely drunk and remembered everything she said and did while playing games. Those were best left forgotten! “Can we talk?” Joshua asked, his gaze fixed on her. His mind was filled with thoughts of her first love and the person named Bailey. Spin to Claim Your Surprise Reward Play
Chapter 123An hour later, Ellora arrived. She wore a warm-colored coat and had her long brown hair flowing down. She was escorted inside by the guards at the door. If it were not for confirming with Mitchell on thephone that Cynthia, whom he mentioned, was the same person as her friend Cynthia, Ellora would not
Chapter 122Both of them had a hint of emotion in their expressions.“Cynthia and I haven’t gotten divorced yet, and I take care of her well,” Joshua said as he looked at the person still playing with the porcelain discs, already decided on it. Then, he added, “I don’t have the habit of sleeping with men.”“Cynthia,”
