[Chapter 220]
However, he had no choice as his mother said she would cut him off financially if he did not come.
She had seized his weakness.
How could he have fun without money?
How was he going to spend all night in pubs with his buddies?
How was he going to obtain the latest sports car?
How was he going to drive around in sports cars pursuing girls?
Therefore, he was put under financial pressure.
However, he fell in love the moment he saw Celia.
He had once bragged to his buddies that he would never give up the sea for a fish.
However, he would not hesitate to give up tens or even hundreds of seas for Celia, let alone one.
"You're both top students, so you youngsters have more to talk about!" Mindy said with a chuckle.
"Hello, Aunt Caitlyn and Joshua!" Greeted Celia as she sat down.
"Hello, Celia!"
"Hello, Celia!"
Celia was disgusted by the look in Joshua's eyes.
They were full of possessiveness just like the other guys.
The only one she liked was the way David looked at her.
It was a look of appreciation without a trace of desire.
The two families did not talk for long before having lunch.
After lunch, Celia made up an excuse to leave, saying that she was going shopping with her best friends.
She did not want to talk to them anymore.
She knew what her mother was up to-she wanted to set her up with the son!
It could strengthen their cooperation.
At the end of the day, profit came first.
"That's great! Take Joshua out while Aunt Caitlyn and I discuss some business!" Mindy said to Celia.
"Mom! I'm going shopping with my besties. They're all girls. It won't be appropriate to bring a guy," complained Celia.
"What's wrong with a guy? He could help you carry your things! Otherwise, can you carry everything you buy by yourself?" Retorted Mindy.
"Yes, yes, yes! I can help Celia carry things. Don't worry, Celia. I'm in good health, and I exercise regularly. I'm perfectly fine with carrying 100 kilograms. You can buy whatever you want," Joshua said quickly.
He would love to go shopping with Celia!
It would be even better if they were alone!
However, it would be nice to have a few girlfriends around.
With Celia's good looks, how much worse would her girlfriends be?
The thought of being in a mall surrounded by beautiful women ranking higher than 9 and seeing the envious looks of men around them made Joshua feel full of excitement.
Celia stopped talking and turned away. She knew there was no point in saying anything more.
Joshua hurried out after her.
Once they were outside the villa, Celia told Joshua to wait for her car.
Joshua stood there and waited excitedly.
He thought they were going to share a car, but Celia made him wait to ride with her.
A girl who let a man ride in her car was like allowing him to enter her bedroom.
It seemed that Celia was slowly accepting him.
It gave Joshua a burst of confidence!
He thought to himself, 'With my charm, even a top beauty like Celia will soon be mine.'
