Chapter 425
“Go and apologize to her sincerely. Try to make amends as much as you can,” suggested Yiordan, who had always thought about things rationally.
“She won’t accept it. Besides, she doesn’t need my apologies,” responded Joshua.
“Whether she accepts it or not is her business. If you feel you’ve done wrong, you should apologize,” Yiordan stated gently.
Joshua remained silent, his mind seemingly elsewhere. NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
“Or is it that you’re hoping to win her back?”
“She won’t give me that chance.”
As Joshua spoke, Yordan could see a change in his demeanor. What had happened between them?
Joshua set his drink aside, reclining against the back of the sofa, his gaze fixated on the faintly lit ceiling. His emotions seemed to have reached a tipping point, demanding release.
“Joshua,” called Viordan, concerned. He had never seen Joshua so fragile, as though he were a porcelain doll, ready to shatter at the slightest touch.
With a blink, Joshua hid his tumultuous emotions behind closed eyes. Only when he had pushed back his surging emotions did he say, in a hoarse voice, “I’m alright.”
“Do you regret divorcing Cynthia?” Yiordan asked, his gaze fixated on Joshua’s face.
Joshua continued to stare at the ceiling. Just as Yiordan thought he would not answer, Joshua broke his silence. “Yes.”
Not just regret. He wished he could go back to the time before everything happened, half a year ago. Ignoring Jayleen’s calls, being there with Cynthia, cherishing her, adoring her, and making her happy.
“Then remember this feeling. Avoid making the same mistake in the future,” advised Yiordan, who was the kind of person who would readily take a bullet for him
Yordan had warned him before. People often learn their lessons the hard way, Joshua listened to his sarcastic comments without a word of protest, as though he were taking everything to heart.
By the time they left, it was already midnight. Although Yoel had left early in the morning, he was still concerned about his boss. As soon as he received Yiordan’s call, he drove over to pick them up.
Joshua and Yordan were seated in the back. Since getting into the car, Joshua had been behaving as though he were drunk. He just did not want to speak, to open his eyes, or to interact.
Yorl was unaware of the situation. This was the first time he had seen Joshua in such a state
“How much did Mr. Neal drink tonight?” he asked Yordan as he drove.
“Not much.”
“Not much, but he’s this drunk?” Yoel was somewhat surprised.
Yordan glanced at Joshua, a gentle curve lifting his lips. “The man is intoxicated, not because of the wine.”
Instantly, Yoel understood. The boss was einotionally overloaded, and it had nothing to do with the alcohol.
“Did you guys come here on a business trip?”
“No, Mr. Neal came a long way to pursue his ex–wife. We moved our office base to Nexuria’s branch office,” replied Yoel honestly.
Yiordan was surprised. “Do you know what happened between him and Cynthia?”
Yoel did not answer immediately. He glanced at the rear view mirror, noticing Joslina’s lack of objection. He shared the whole
story.
Chapter 42!
“Mr. Neal thought that Ms. Yates would always hold on to their initial passion, even if he hurt her a thousand times over. However, Ms. Yates thought differently. She believes in not going back to a past love,” Yoel narrated, his words vividly capturing the scene.
Yiordan chuckled lightly.
Joshua was silent.
His downcast mood was abruptly turned to annoyance by Yoel’s remarks. He thought to himself, This guy, he really can’t say anything nice.”
Half an hour later…
