Chapter 546 1/2 Everything clicked into place for the group. “You knew all along?” Linus asked. “Don’t discuss this with Cyn. Neither help nor hinder. Especially you two,” Mitchell advised, paying special attention to Riley and Gaby, Everyone knew how close Riley and Gaby were to Cynthia. They were as clase as could be. Without warning, they might turn around and spill everything to Cynthia, who would probably avoid Captain if she knew his feelings. “Captain really kept his feelings well hidden.” Riley sighed, feeling reassured. “He must have had feelings for Cyn even before he retired, right? When did it start?” “I don’t know,” replied Mitchell truthfully, Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
No one knew when Captain had started having feelings for Cynthia, Captain was a person who clearly distinguished between public and private matters. Even when he was in training and obviously had feelings for Cynthia, he never went easy on her. On further thought, it seemed perfectly reasonable. “Indeed, that’s a relief. No one would dare to bully Cyn when she’s with the Captain,” Gaby agreed, her anxiety visibly lessened. The matter was mutually and tacitly kept secret among them all As Mitchell had put it, they could neither assist nor obstruct. Everyone in the small team knew about it except Cynthia herself. Upon leaving the club, Matthew did not immediately escort Cynthia home. Instead, they strolled around the nearby area to unwind. Initially, Cynthia walked on her own, but as she began to st agger, pausing every few steps, Matthew decided to carry her “Captain, you haven’t answered my question yet,” Cynthia murmured from Matthew’s back, her eyes still shut but her voice persistent. “Since when did I say I’d keep count of our past matters?” Matthew’s voice was pleasant and relaxed.
Surrounded by such a soothing voice, Cynthia felt as if she was enveloped in a warm and comfortable environment like at gentle breeze was brushing past her. Without overthinking, she voiced her thoughts, “Then why do you bring me breakfast and invite me to eat at your place?” “Because…” Matthew’s words trailed off, leaving the sentence unfinished. He wanted to say that it was because he liked her, but Cynthia, though somewhat intoxicated, was not completely drunk. If she heard what he meant to say now, she might slip away the next day and not see him. Cynthia was still listening, “What?” “I care for my divorced teammates. Or perhaps treating the boss well will benefit my career.” Matthew found a convenient excuse “That’s not right,” Cynthia said seriously. Matthew raised an eyebrow in surprise. “Oh?” “You’re not that kind of person.” Even though she was drunk, Cynthia was confident in her understanding of her captain’s character. Matthew merely smiled and continued walking with Cynthia on his back Cynthia felt her mind spinning. Thoughts about Joshua’s accident and the Captain swirled around in her mind, twisting and turning like a ball of yarn in a kitten’s play, creating a messy whirl. Upon arriving home, Matthew prepared some honey water for her to prevent her from waking up with a headache. Although it could not completely sober her up, it could at least alleviate some discomfort from the intoxication. Chapter 54b After ensuring her comfort, he finally informed the team in the group chat about their arrival home. [Riley: Make some honey water for Cyn, so she won’t wake up with a headache.] [Matthew: Already done.J
