After hanging up, Juliet fell silent, leaving Sylvia in a moment of awkward silence. She didn't know what to say about her brother's situation. It felt awkward to talk about it, yet she didn't know what to do.
"Is everything okay with your brother? Do you need me to come help?"
Miles could hear some commotion on the other end of the phone, indicating something had happened with Bruce, but he wasn't sure what. However, Miles knew one thing for sure: if you wanted to know about someone, you had to start with the people around them.
You needed the approval of those close to them first, then build relationships with others. And the next step would definitely involve the girl's relatives and friends.
Clearly, Bruce was in trouble now. If Miles could help him this time, Bruce would surely return the favor.
Miles' idea was good, but Sylvia didn't agree. She knew this was a matter between Bruce and Juliet. Outsiders like them shouldn't interfere.
"No, it's fine. There's nothing too troublesome. They can handle it themselves. They both just have impatient personalities. Once they calm down, they'll sort it out. You should probably go back to be with your son now. I won't bother you anymore. I have some other things to take care of."
Sylvia shook her head. She felt a bit uneasy but knew it was a matter between Bruce and Juliet. As his sister and friend, she couldn't say much more.
As Sylvia prepared to leave, Miles was the first to refuse. He didn't want their time together to dwindle. Without substantial progress, what special relationship could they have? Miles didn't want Sylvia to leave like this. He didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
"I know you're probably upset with me because of what happened with Cyril today, but it's not entirely my fault. I hope we can talk things out. What do you think?"
