Chapter 312
Upon hearing Cynthia’s response, Joshua did not argue back as he understood the need to maintain boundaries. He initially wanted to personally escort Cynthia and Kendrick back home since it was unsafe for a young woman to be alone late at night.
However, considering his own alcohol consumption, he borrowed Cynthia’s phone and called Yoel Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.
Cynthia did not think much of it and assumed he needed Yoel to buy him a new phone.
In no time, Yoel arrived.
Joshua had a house for Yoel in the same community for convenience in their work, When Yoel entered the house, he momentarily paused upon seeing Cynthia there too and exclaimed, “Ms. Yates?”
What was going on? Did Joshua reconcile with Cynthia?
“Cynthia is here to pick up Mr. Yates. Could you help me take them back?” Joshua said gently, explaining the situation to Yoel.
Yoel quickly caught on and replied, “Of course, Mr. Neal”
Cynthia wanted to refuse, but neither Joshua nor Yoel gave her the opportunity, Yoel placed Kendrick in the backseat, and Cynthia got in as well. As the car started, she watched Joshua standing there, seeing them off. Cynthia’s rationality gradually returned.
She glanced at Yoel and casually asked, “Why is Ken at Joshua’s place?”
Kenneth had several secretaries. Even if he invited Joshua for dinner, his secretaries would accompany him.
How did it end up like this?
“When the dinner was over, Mr. Yates was already drunk. Mr. Neal asked Mr. Yates if he wanted Mr. Tom to take him home or if he wanted Mr. Neal to do it, and Mr. Yates pointed at Mr. Neal and said ‘you‘,” Yoel spoke the truth, only realizing later that Joshua was much more scheming than he had anticipated.
Cynthia was speechless.
How drunk was Kendrick to make such a choice?
“Mr. Neal didn’t know where Mr. Yates lived, so he had no choice but to bring him here. I didn’t expect to trouble you to make this trip in the middle of the night,” Yoel indirectly explained on Joshua’s behalf.
“It’s no trouble.” Cynthia felt a mix of emotions.
To be honest, she could not decipher Joshua’s actions tonight.
Last time, when she wanted to leave, he locked the door and did not give her a chance. However, he not only let her go this time but also had Yoel take her home.
Was he also drunk?
Unable to make sense of it all, Cynthia decided not to dwell on these thoughts any further.
Yoel dropped her off at Kendrick’s house and drove off after they entered the gated community. Cynthia brought Kendrick home, used his fingerprint to unlock the door, and left him on the couch.
Meanwhile, Joshua had been waiting in the living room for Yoel.
Finally, around midnight, Yoel returned and informed Joshua that he had safely taken Cynthia and Kendrick home.
“Good” Joshua replied, then added, “Prepare a new phone for me tomorrow morning.”
Yoel asked, “Any specific requirements?”
“It’s for me,” Joshua answered.
Yorl was surprised. Then, his gaze shifted, and he noticed a broken phone on the table.
In that instant, Yoel imagined a dramatic scene in that instant where Cynthia and Joshua fought, engaging in a fierce battle.
