"What would you say if he confessed to you?" Riley asked Cynthia.Cynthia gave a rather honest answer, "I don't think he'll confess to me anymore."Riley and Gaby were puzzled, wondering why Matthew would not confess. Was he rejected? Or was there still some lingering affection between Cynthia and Joshua?Wait, that did not make sense. If that were the case, Cynthia would have come alone and not with Matthew. They did not see Cynthia's car in the parking lot."We're already together," Cynthia decided to be direct and tell them the truth.Upon hearing this, Riley and Gaby froze, staring at Cynthia in disbelief.Together! They were together!"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell us anything? How did he confess to you?" Riley quickly asked, bombarding her with questions."You aren't angry?" Cynthia was surprised. Riley and Gaby exchanged a glance, both looking baffled. "Why would we be angry?""Didn't you think Matthew wasn't good enough for me and advised me not to be

"I already talked to them, and they don't mind. They even said it's fine if she has feelings for someone else. If they truly fall in love with her, they'll make sure she only has them in her heart," Matthew confidently spun a tall tale.Zayn was confused. He glanced at Jimmy and Mitchell, thinking that it was not surprising if Jimmy said such things, but Mitchell...Though Zayn was not close to Mitchell, he knew the guy was reserved and modest. It seemed strange for someone like him to say such passionate words."What's wrong?" Matthew asked again.Zayn did not want to reveal too much, so he brushed it off, saying it was nothing. He could not find the right words to describe his complicated feelings.Matthew noticed all of this.When the evening came to an end, Rebecca was still engrossed in conversation with Jimmy and Mitchell, getting along very well. Zayn approached her and said, "Becca, if you don't leave now, you won't make it back before your curfew."After bidding far

Cynthia pushed against his chest, her face blushing slightly. "You're being unfair.""Hmm, I am being unfair," Matthew replied with a smug grin as if to say, 'So what if I'm unfair?'Cynthia was left speechless by the cunning Matthew. "If you ever think about rejecting me again, I won't just stop at kissing. I'll register you as my wife, so you won't be able to back out even if you want to," Matthew said, getting closer to her.Cynthia was surprised. "Are you thinking of getting married?"Matthew raised an eyebrow, waiting for her to continue."Is it because of family pressure or...?" Cynthia hesitated.Matthew was already in his thirties, so it was normal for him to be eager to get married. After all, he was not getting any younger."Or what?" he asked."Nothing.""Cynthia.""Really, it's nothing.""Is it because you think I'm getting old, and it's normal for my desire to marry and my family pressure to?" Matthew saw through her thoughts in one glance, speaking calmly.

After the discussion, Matthew summarized the results and quickly dismissed the normal ideas, like proposing with balloons. He came up with several themes: starry sky, galaxy, flower meadow, technology, literature, and more.He started making rough plans for each theme. It was almost two in the morning when he finally decided to sleep. It was the latest he had gone to bed since retiring from the military.Perhaps due to the excitement of planning the proposal or his active mind before bedtime, Matthew found himself lying in bed for a whole twenty minutes without falling asleep. This was something that had never happened to him before. Just as he was about to check the proposal ideas on his phone, he noticed a message from Jimmy.[Jimmy: Cynthia's birthday is on Wednesday. Where should we celebrate?]Matthew was taken aback by the message and replied with a question mark.Jimmy was surprised by Matthew's reply as he never slept late.Then, he asked, [Don't you know it's her bir

Matthew could not persuade her and let her go. After that, he made a phone call to have his mansion cleaned up so he could move in. Once the call was done, he started packing his luggage. First, he tidied up his own things and then informed Cynthia before organizing her belongings as well.Cynthia arrived at Ellora's place. It was the first time Ellora saw Cynthia responding quickly to a message as soon as she heard the notification."Cynthia.""Yeah?""Are you dating someone?" Ellora was quite perceptive.Cynthia replied to Matthew's message, and she was surprised by the question."How did you know?"After all, the bodyguards would not inform Ellora about this, and their relationship was not publicized yet.Ellora explained, "You're not someone who's always on their phone. When someone messaged you earlier, you didn't pay much attention. But when that particular notification sound rang, you responded right away.""He's someone you care about," Ellora teased.Cynthia did no
