Chapter 661
Joshua froze, still processing what Cynthia had just said, ignoring his bleeding hand.
“w–What did you just say?”
Cynthia felt a little uneasy and replied, “You don’t have to do this anymore. Someone will
prepare meals and deliver them, so don’t worry about this.”
“Did you just call me dumb?” joshua stubbornly sought an answer.
Cynthia was at a loss for words, wondering how to respond.
Joshua stared at Cynthia and asked, “Do you really think I’m dumb
“I’m dumber than you. At least you can cook, I can’t even make a meal,” Cynthia
rephrased.
Joshua remained silent
So, Cynthia still thought he was clumsy? Did she think the person next door who cooked
delicious food was smarter?
“From today, I’ll learn to cook properly. Once I can make many delicious dishes, can you
marry me? Joshua promised.
“No, I can’t,” Cynthia replied firmly.
“Why?” Joshua asked.
“No reason.”
“Cynthia.”
“Yes?”
“Is it because of the past that you think I’m unreliable? That’s why you rejected me so
quickly?” Joshua continued to play his role, nailing the character perfectly.
Cynthia besitated, not knowing how to respond to this question.
Joshua took her silence as agreement and walked out of the study to get a baseball bat,
saying, “Hit me.”
Cynthia was puzzled.
“As long as it helps you vent, you can hit me however you want. 1 promise not to make a
sound,” Joshua said seriously.
“I rejected you because I don’t like you. Only when two people like each other can they be
together, understand? Cynthia thought he was no longer a five–year–old child, so she
naturally said it.
Joshua’s head drooped immediately. “I understand.”
Cynthia was not used to seeing him so downcast and said, “Don’t overthink it
“Oh,” Joshua replied and left.
Afterward, Joshua did not come to see her for over an hour. During lunch, he only took a
few bites and said he was full Cynthia wanted to offer him more food, but considering his
condition, she thought he might say he was not hungry, so she did not press the matter.
After all, the house had snacks, fruits, and desserts.
After lunch, Cynthia went to the study to handle some things, not bothering with what
Joshua was up to. A person with a mental age of around seventeen should know better
than to cause trouble.
They spent the afternoon without disturbing each other.

the peaceful life was disrupted.
“Ah!”
A sudden cry echoed
Cynthia quickly got up, and before she could knack on Joshua’s door, she saw him rush out
with a terrified expression.
“Cynthia! I’m scared!”
“What’s wrong?” Cynthia comforted him calmly.
“Blood… There’s so much blood in the room.” Joshua leaned into her arms, trembling all
over
Blood?
Cynthia was puzzled.
She patted his shoulder gently, but she did not feel a bit afraid. “Stay here. I’ll go in and
take a look”
