Juliet had already figured out what was going on. Miles probably wanted to invite Sylvia, but somehow it ended up being Juliet and Sylvia together. But Juliet was sure Miles was somewhere nearby.
Miles wouldn't miss this chance to get close to Sylvia. No one would let go of an opportunity like this.
Juliet was curious about what had happened between them to turn the situation like this. Everything seemed fine before. How could they not even watch fireworks together?
"It was just a small thing that happened. I didn't feel like watching the fireworks with him after that, so he gave me these tickets as an apology. I'm not sure who he originally prepared them for, but since he gave them to me, let's just enjoy the show. Why bother overthinking it? After all, I don't have any relationship with him. You guys keep connecting me with him, which isn't a good thing."
Sylvia explained earnestly, and Juliet couldn't say much after that. It made sense. After watching the fireworks, they prepared to leave but spotted Miles with his son.
Juliet, seeing Miles with his son, gave Sylvia a knowing look and nudged her arm, saying, "I'll be nearby waiting for you. You might have something to say to him."
With that, Juliet took Jimmy and walked away, leaving them alone. Sylvia felt a bit awkward standing there with Bruce. They had spent time alone before, but maybe the fireworks tonight or the atmosphere made things awkward.
"I didn't expect you to come today. If you had, we could have come together next week. Anyway, I've thought about it, and it's not entirely your fault. The main problem lies with me."
Sylvia felt uneasy, but she sincerely conveyed her thoughts.
Seeing Sylvia earnestly explaining, Miles couldn't help but smile. He thought Sylvia would be angry or wouldn't talk to him for a while. He didn't expect her to get over it so quickly.
"It's not your fault. I didn't consider your feelings properly. If you feel uncomfortable with me here, I can leave."
"No, you're not making me uncomfortable. Oh, there's something else up ahead. Should we go check it out? Your son and..."
Sylvia began looking around for Juliet and Jimmy, but couldn't find them. She started to worry about what might have happened to them.
