A Moment in Destiny novel Chapter 781

Ernie watched her get on the bus and gripped the steering wheel slightly tighter. His knuckles were white, but he followed the bus quietly. Sylvie went straight back to Sunshine Residential Area, got off the bus, and went into the neighborhood. After quitting her job, she could draw in peace!

Ernie watched her enter the neighborhood, but instead of driving in with her, he turned around and left!

Sylvie had just walked downstairs when she saw Cassius. He was standing by the door of the building, watching Sylvie from a distance. He was holding a cane in his hand and was well dressed and well-groomed. Although his hair was gray, he was still hale and hearty.

Sylvie did not expect him to come to her. She was a little surprised, but walked over, "Are you here for something?"

"I came to see you!" Cassius did not mention anything, just said so. "I see you don't look too good, so I'll bring you some tonic!"

"No need-" Before Sylvie could finish her sentence, Cassius had already shouted to the driver in the car, "Bring down the stuff for Miss Sylvie! "

Sylvie sighed in her heart. What she feared most was this. Grandpa was trying to change her mind with love, right? "You can take it back! I really don't lack anything."

Cassius immediately said, "Sylvie, this is my heart. You don't even want my heart, right?"

Sylvie hesitated for a moment and shook her head. "All right, I'll take it!"

As soon as she accepted it, Cassius immediately burst into a pale smile. He smiled like a child, looking so contented and joyful. "That's right!"

"Don't you ever send me any supplements again!" Sylvie said again. The two stood in the doorway, and Sylvie was in no hurry to go upstairs.

"Sylvie, can I go up to see your house?"

Sylvie was slightly stunned for a moment, but after seeing the expectation in his eyes, she finally couldn't bear to say more and nodded. "Okay!"

At this time, the driver also brought the things over. Sylvie saw several boxes of things, like bird's nest and white fungus, and Chinese caterpillar fungus.

She was a bit emotional for a while. A late old man put himself down like this just to beg her to inherit his estate! However, she really did not want to do it. She felt very tired. She thought she was not a businessman material and could not be as wise, ruthless, or even unscrupulous as a businessman.

The three of them went upstairs together. The driver put the things down and went downstairs obediently.

Cassius stood in Sylvie's living room and looked around, "Sylvie, you are twenty-two years old, right?"

"Yes!" Sylvie went to make a cup of green tea. Cassius sat on the sofa while Sylvie put the cup of tea on the coffee table. "Grandpa, have some tea!"

Cassius picked up the green glass, took a sip of the green tea, and smiled. "Yorkshire Tea! This tastes so good! The fragrance of the tea is so good."

"This brand of tea indeed tastes good. I like green tea!" Sylvie said softly.

"Well, it's good to drink tea. Drinking tea is healthy!" Cassius smiled and looked at Sylvie again, "When I was twenty-two, I still had nothing! And you've already purchased a house for yourself with your own abilities!"

"The house was sold to me at a special discount by my friend who took good care of me!" She took a portion of the payment. Luckily, Ryan was generous, otherwise, her design fee would have been just enough to buy the house, not enough to decorate it.

"Bonnie hasn't been home for a few days!" Cassius suddenly said.

Sylvie sighed as she remembered what Bonnie had done to her earlier, and how she had gotten the gangsters to try to ruin her. She hadn't bothered her yet, and she hadn't expected her not to go back for days. She was afraid that she would get in trouble with her, but after all, it was discovered, and Bonnie must be hiding somewhere at the moment!

"She's an adult. Maybe she went out to play!"

"She didn't bring anything with her!" Cassius turned his head to Sylvie, and his eyes were fierce with mixed feelings. "Sylvie, don't you know where Bonnie went?"

Sylvie was slightly stunned and suddenly looked up at Cassius, then asked, "You think I should know?"

Cassius stared at Sylvie's face for a moment, then his eyes fell back to the cup in his hand. "Sylvie, you and Bonnie are the only ones left in the Mccarthy family, and I know Bonnie is a failure. If she does something wrong to you, I will punish her! But she is your sister after all. You're from the same family, why do you want to hurt each other?"

"I don't understand what you mean!" Sylvie spoke up.

"I don't mean anything. I just want you to be more tolerant of her!"

"Uh!" Sylvie gave a bitter smile. "I understand what you mean. I haven't seen Bonnie, and I don't want to know where she's gone. I've been very lenient with her. You're really worrying too much!"

Sylvie didn't even tell Cassius about it when Bonnie had someone almost ruin her. Cassius was too old, and she was afraid that he would get angry, but she didn't expect Cassius to talk to her like that now. She really didn't know how to respond, and just felt a little ridiculous!

Sylvie was depressed and suddenly felt so sick that she turned her head, stood up, and ran towards the bathroom.

After vomiting for a while, she felt her feet go weak and just fell down on the floor. She struggled to get up and slowly moved to the mirror. In the mirror, she looked very pale and haggard.

Looking at herself in the mirror, her thoughts drifted far away at once, as if Marley's cold eyes appeared before her again. His grief-stricken face also became clearer and clearer, and his grieving voice rang in her ears again, "Sylvie, how could you be so vicious ..."

Was she vicious? He suddenly felt his heart pumping violently!

"Sylvie, are you all right?" Cassius's concerned voice came from the doorway.

"Ugh! I'm fine!" Sylvie hurriedly replied.

Cassius frowned at the door and felt a little worried. "Sylvie, if you're not feeling well, just go to the hospital!"

"I'm fine!" Sylvie answered again, washed her face, and walked out. "I'm fine!"
