Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal's Gone With The Money のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 801 - チャプター 810

During Cynthia's birthday dinner that evening, Mitchell and Jimmy lived up to Cynthia's trust in them. Midway through the meal, they began to offer Cynthia toast, wishing her a happy birthday.Of course, they never intended for Cynthia to drink. "Cynthia, happy birthday!" Jimmy and Mitchell cheered.Cynthia clinked glasses with Jimmy.Mitchell asked Matthew, "Aren't you helping Cyn with the drinks?""It's her birthday today. A couple of drinks won't hurt. Even if she gets tipsy, I'll make sure she gets back safely," Matthew replied without realizing or suspecting Mitchell's intentions. Mitchell skillfully responded, "It's not just a couple of drinks. After Jimmy, Riley, and the others, they'll take turns toasting her too. Considering Cyn's poor alcohol tolerance, aren't you supposed to do something as her boyfriend?"Matthew pondered for a moment. As a boyfriend, it did seem reasonable to help his girlfriend with the drinks.When it was Linus and Alex's turn to offer Cynthia

Matthew walked over carefully, asking, "What's something that I shouldn't know?" Cynthia's body tensed. As she turned to face him, she murmured, "Captain..."Why did he come out? "Tell me… What shouldn't I know?" Matthew stood before her, enveloping her in his embrace. Cynthia instinctively tried to step back, only to realize she had a wall behind her, leaving her with no escape route.Witnessing this, the onlookers wisely made a swift exit. The corridor was empty in no time, leaving only the two of them."Hmm?" Matthew lowered his voice.Cynthia appeared innocent, with just a hint of unease as she uttered, "It's nothing.""Are you not going to tell me the truth?""Really, it's nothing.""Naughty kids get punished." Matthew's thumb lightly brushed against her rosy lips, teasing her.Cynthia noticed Matthew was rather drunk and quickly lied, "I accidentally tripped when I came out of the restroom earlier. I didn't want you to worry, so I asked them to keep it a secret.""

Cynthia noticed Matthew's damp hair and grabbed a nearby towel to help him dry off. She then took a hairdryer and carefully blew his hair dry. Throughout the process, Matthew was incredibly cooperative.After guiding him to sit on the bed, Cynthia prepared some honey water for him to drink. All the while, she felt a slight nervousness, unsure if Matthew was completely asleep. What if he suddenly woke up when she was about to measure his ring size? That would ruin the surprise.Lost in these thoughts, time slipped away unnoticed. Before she knew it, ten minutes had passed. Listening to his steady breathing, she softly called out to him, "Captain?""Captain...""Are you asleep?"She whispered several more times, but Matthew did not respond. Matthew was genuinely asleep and had let his guard down with Cynthia. Moreover, he decided to just sleep to cooperate with her plan, but Cynthia had no way of knowing this.After fetching the ring sizer from the bodyguard, Cynthia asked in t

"What's wrong?" Jonathan asked when he noticed her silence.Cynthia did not tell him the truth, just responding with, "It's nothing. Let's go in. It's quite cold out here.""Alright." Jonathan and Shirley both accompanied her inside.Once inside, Jonathan fetched her a glass of water and cautiously asked, "Why didn't you tell me that you're dating someone?""I thought I'd wait until things are more stable.""Isn't it stable now?"Cynthia hesitated. Things were stable, but she wanted to wait longer in case Matthew's interest in her was based on their past interactions and not on who she truly was. Cynthia wanted him to know her as she was now before telling Jonathan.Jonathan became concerned, and he said in a serious tone, "Are you two okay? What happened?""We're doing well," Cynthia replied sincerely.Jonathan glanced at Shirley as if seeking confirmation. Shirley hinted and reassured Jonathan that Cynthia and Matthew were doing great.With this, Jonathan felt at ease.

Old Man Neal began to bring up old issues, saying, "Do you remember what you said the first time Cynthia told us about the divorce? You knew Joshua was going down the wrong path, yet you, as his father, didn't offer any advice or discipline him."Felix froze. It was true that he had not handled that situation as well as he could have. He was joking when he teased Joshua for treating Cynthia as a replacement for Jayleen, a passing comment without much thought. Felix knew Joshua had a first love but did not know anything else. Little did he know that Joshua would indeed divorce Cynthia for that person. He would have certainly intervened if he had known the whole story back then. Nonetheless, it was clear that Joshua and Cynthia were not meant for each other and were not meant to spend the rest of their lives together. "I really don't understand what Daphne saw in you. Your mom and I were so deeply in love. How did we end up with a jerk of a son like you?" Old Man Neal could not
