Mr. Neal, Mrs. Neal’s Gone With The Money

Chapter 47

“Got it,” Joshua said before hanging up the phone.

He knew they would not accept Jayleen. Whether it was his parents or his grandfather, they only acknowledged Cynthia.

After suppressing his emotions, Joshua left according to the location Cynthia had sent and picked up a random car from the company to get there. When he arrived, Cynthia was already there.

After a few days of not seeing each other, Joshua felt an indescribable feeling.

Cynthia did not seem to be doing badly after leaving him, unlike those girls who broke up and vented

all over the internet.

“Did Jayleen say anything else to you besides the child?”

Joshua was direct and did not bother with any small talk.

Cynthia looked for the call recording and handed the phone over to Joshua.

He glanced at her before listening to the recording.

Jayleen obviously sounded unwell, and his heart tightened. Without much thought, he blamed Cynthia, “Why didn’t you contact me immediately?”

Cynthia asked with confusion, “Why should I have contacted you for her?”

“If she hadn’t encountered difficulties, she wouldn’t have called you in the first place.” Joshua was

cold and displeased.

Cynthia did not know how he got the nerve to say such things and asked, “Do you want to argue?”

Joshua pursed his lips, and he did not respond to her. Instead, he used her phone to call Jayleen. When he realized that Cynthia had blocked the number, he unblocked it before making the call.

Cynthia watched his series of actions and was too lazy to argue with him anymore.

The phone was answered after a short while.

“Mrs. Neal…” Jayleen’s soft voice came through the phone.

“It’s me.” Joshua’s tone was reassuring, and his expression was soft and gentle.

Cynthia felt like she was going to throw up everything she had eaten last night, but she did not stop him. She knew Joshua’s personality well enough to know that any attempt to stop him would only lead to an argument.

“Joshua…” Jayleen started crying on the other end of the phone, and her voice choked with emotions.

“It’s okay. Take your time and tell me what’s going on. Why did you tell Cynthia that you’re pregnant with my child? We both know that’s not the case…” ” Joshua said, his voice soothing and gentle.

“I couldn’t get in touch with you, and I didn’t know what else to do. I had to resort to this,” Jayleen explained between sobs.

“What happened?”

“I…”

“Take your time.”

“Joshua, I’m tainted.”

When he heard those words, Joshua’s hand holding the phone tightened, and his whole body tensed

1. up.

Jayleen continued to cry, gasping for breath between sobs.

Nevertheless, Joshua still tried to keep his emotions in check. He knew that Jayleen needed his support and understanding right now.

“Who did it?”

“I don’t know. Last night, I was out shopping with Heidi when I received a text message from someone saying they missed me and were waiting for me at a hotel. They said they were you, Joshua,” Jayleen said, her voice hoarse from the crying, filled with despair.

Joshua’s grip on the phone tightened even more.

“I missed you so much, so I went to the hotel room, thinking that you were afraid to contact me after Mrs. Neal found out, so you used another number to contact me. But once I got to the hotel room, someone hit me over the head, and when I woke up, it was too late…” Jayleen continued, her voice

shaking.

Jayleen could not continue, her voice trailing off into a sob.

“Where are you now?” Joshua asked without hesitating.

“I’m at the apartment you rented for me,” Jayleen said, her voice small and frightened as she curled up on the bed, her eyes swollen from crying.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
