“Your contact history with him should prove whether he wants to see you or not. After waking up this afternoon, he instructed me to tell you that the two of you are now settled and henceforth should be strangers, avoiding each other.” Sean steered the conversation in a different direction.
Cynthia found it hard to believe.
However, when she checked her phone and sent a message to Joshua’s WhatsApp, she found that she was blocked. She stood there, phone still in hand, mind whirling with confusion. Why would Joshua suddenly act this way?
Was he trying to prevent her from worrying?
“Ms. Yates, forgive me if this is hard to hear, Joshua, no matter how you look at it, is the CEO of Neal Group, admired and praised by many. You didn’t respond to his pursuit for so long. Any man would feel a blow to his pride.”
“I’ve come to understand part of your situation. He divorced you for someone else, and since then, you two have been at odds. To be honest, he hasn’t taken anyone to bed. Taking a bullet for you to repay you seems more than enough. Would you want him to repay you his whole life?” Sean continued.
“No,” Cynthia replied flatly.
“In that case, why do you persist? He has repaid his debt to you by taking a bullet for you. You rejected his pursuit, and now he’s a stranger as you wished. Isn’t it inappropriate for you to insist on seeing him?” Sean challenged.
Cynthia silently agreed.
However, something felt off about Sean’s version of events.
“Since you won’t be convinced until he tells you himself, so be it,” Sean said, seeing her stubbornness, and took out his phone.
Cynthia watched him.
Her hand, holding her own phone, began to sweat, her entire being in a state of high tension.
“Good thing I was prepared. Here’s what you want to hear,” Sean said, opening a recording.
As his voice fell, the recording played from his phone.
“Please convey this message to Cynthia. I have repaid all that I owe her. From now on, we will be strangers, no longer Interfering with each other’s lives. I don’t wish to remain entangled with her in any way, nor do I need her to do anything for me. I don’t want to owe her anything. I’m tired, and our relationship ends here.” Joshua’s voice was faint but clear,
After the recording ended, Sean, seeing no response from Cynthia, replayed it.
Cynthia stood there in silence, each word piercing through her ears like a deadly bullet, finally sinking deep into her heart, creating emotional chaos within her.
When the recording finished playing the second time, Sean moved to start it again.
“No need to play it again. I heard clearly,” Cynthila spoke up.
“Won’t you want to listen to it a few more times? What if I forged it?” Sean asked casually.
By the second time, Cynthia had already ascertained whether it was synthetic.
This was unmistakably Joshua’s voice, without any alterations.
It was truly what he had said.
The two held their positions, entrenched in a standoff.
Cynthia did not know what to say. This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .
Joshua’s statement of not wanting to owe her anymore was clear; he did not want her to meddle in his affairs.
