Chapter 279
“Don’t pay attention to him. Where else do you want to go? Let’s go.” Cynthia had always
been indifferent when it came to Joshua
“Upstairs.”
“Okay.”
The two of them simply ignored Joshua
When they entered one of the stores, Shirley went in to try on clothes, and the
salesperson, noticing Joshua standing outside, asked Cynthia tentatively, “Miss, is the
gentleman outside with you?
“No,” Cynthia replied calmly.
With her naturally beautiful appearance and composed demeanor, the salesperson
believed her immediately,
She hesitated but decided to advise Cynthia, “When you leave later, be careful. It seems
like he has been following you.

Shirley bought two pieces of clothing, and Cynthia helped her carry them.
For the next few hours, Cynthia and Shirley continued shopping. However, Shirley was the
one doing most of the buying. Nonetheless, whenever they found something suitable for
Cynthia, Shirley bought it for her too
At four o’clock, Joshua watched them enter another store, slightly frowning
He was genuinely curious.
How could Shirley, who appeared petite, cute, and fragile, continue shopping for four
hours?
It was not that he was tired. It was mainly because, throughout the entire journey, he had
received too many strange looks.
Those gazes made it seem like he was some kind of stalker.
Ten minutes later, Cynthia and Shirley emerged from the store, and Joshua walked up to
them and initiated a conversation with Cynthia. “How much longer do you want to shop?”
Cynthia and Shirley were confused.
Both of them looked at him with puzzled expressions, not understanding why he would ask

How long they wanted to shop seemed unrelated to him.
“I need to talk to you about something.” Joshua’s gaze fell on Cynthia
“Did you forget about the promise you made before?” Cynthia’s emotions were rather
muted, and she no longer had the impulse to get angry as soon as she saw him.
“I didn’t forget.” Joshua’s gaze was deep, his voice as low as ever. “I just wanted to
explain a few things to you.”
Cynthia remained as indifferent as ever. “We have no relationship between us. If you need
to explain something, you don’t have to do it with me. If it’s business–related, you should

The more distant and Indifferent she appeared, the more Joshua wanted to establish a
connection with her, disrupt her calm – demeanor, see her get angry with him, and show
some emotional fluctuations.
“Then let’s not talk about us. Grandpa asked me to call him when I see you. He said he
has something to tell you.” Joshua took out his plone.
Cynthia was about to refuse, saying she could contact Old Man Neal herself. However,
Joshua had already made the ca
Old Man Neal picked up the phone quickly on the other end, with Moses still
accompanying him.
Old Man Neal had some grievances toward Joshua, to the paint where his first sentence
was filled with impatience, “What’s the matter? Don’t waste my time while I’m practicing
painting with Moses.”
Joshua knew that after his divorce from Cynthia, he had become the least favored one in
the family.
“Cynthia is with me
Once those words were spoken…
