Sylvia wasn't injured, but she wondered why she had fallen as the carpets were everywhere. She almost rolled down the stairs. If she hadn't reacted quickly, she would have either been killed immediately or disabled.
Lilian looked worried. "I'm sorry, Miss Andrews. It's my fault. If something happened to you, I would feel extremely guilty."
She kept blaming herself and felt upset, looking pitiful, as if she would shed tears the next second. Sylvia was the victim, but Lilian seemed to have encountered the accident instead.
Arching her brow, Sylvia said, "I didn't fall. Save your tears till the day I become disabled."
"Miss Andrews, you were awesome just now. Are you a martial artist?" Lilian asked, wiping the tears off her eye corner.
"Right. Whoever dares to harm me will end up miserably." Sylvia stared at her eyes, and her tone was cold.
Then she went to the dining room.
Biting her lip, Lilian followed her.
The supper was simple, and Sylvia wasn't picky. She ate some.
When Franklin went downstairs, Lilian hurriedly served another portion. "Master Franklin, have a try. I prepared it for you deliberately."
"I only eat Sylvia's dishes," Franklin replied expressionlessly.
He wore a black bathrobe. After a shower, he looked seductive and hot with messy hair on his handsome face.
This was the first time Lilian had seen him look so unruly and sexy. Usually, Franklin wore suits, looking aloof and self-restrained.
He looked utterly different but still made her heart race.
Lilian blushed.
"Master Franklin, I-I made it as perfect as possible."
"So what?" Franklin ordered leisurely, "Leave."
Lilian gaped at him in disbelief as he sent her away.
"I'm done." Sylvia elegantly wiped her red lips. Lilian's obsessed look upset her slightly.
Without hesitation, she bent over to tighten Franklin's bathrobe and said, "I'm sleepy."
Franklin looked down at her hand on his chest, smiling. "All right. Let's go to bed."
Then he held her hand and left the dining room.
Behind them, Lilian watched them leave, hatred filling her eyes.
"Are you jealous, sweetie?"
"Jealous?" Sylvia snorted, "You'd better not overthink again."
"Why are your ears red?" Franklin pinched her rosy earlobe. "Also, you pulled my bathrobe to cover me."
"Ha ha... I was just sickened when I saw Lilian drooling at you," Sylvia retorted, pretending to be careless. "You deliberately revealed your chest, didn't you? If you want to hit on her, you can tell me bluntly next time. I won't do it again."
The more Sylvia spoke, the weirder she felt.
'What the heck am I talking about?'
She rubbed her forehead.
"Still don't admit it? Jealousy is evident on your face." Franklin couldn't help feeling delighted, wearing a charming smile.
Sylvia's heart was racing. When she looked up at his bright grin, she was stunned.
When Franklin didn't smile, he looked cold and ruthless. However, whenever he smiled, he was indeed charming, which she could never resist.
He had the power to make all women in the world obsessed.
Looking at her trembling eyelashes, Franklin bent down his head and pecked her forehead.
He repeatedly kissed her smooth forehead gently and affectionately.
Sylvia held her breath, feeling his kisses trailing down.
Finally, his lips fell on her red lips.
Instead of deepening his kiss, Franklin tenderly pecked them.
When Sylvia opened her eyes, she found Franklin staring at her wholeheartedly. She blushed.
However, she felt awkward under his gaze, wondering why her heart started hammering again.
She cursed inwardly.
Silvia wore a loose nightgown, revealing her tender shoulders under the soft light of the bedroom. She wanted to straighten it up, but it slid down again.
Franklin pressed her hands and asked hoarsely, "Trying to seduce me, huh?"
Sylvia's cheeks turned rosy, and her eyes were tinged with desire.
His words annoyed her, though.
She glared at him and inwardly blamed her nightgown.
Sylvia was always confident in her self-restraint, but Franklin had repeatedly shattered it. She almost flared up.
"Seduce you? You've overthought. I'm going to sleep now."
