Chapter 69 Are you living together?!
Sylvia couldn’t take the glances any longer. She set down the hefty gift box on the table, then turned to face her friends seriously
“Can you please stop looking at me like that? Whatever’s going on, it has nothing to do with me. I wouldn’t do something like that,” she protested
What a joke. She had just freed herself from one man, and now she was supposed to tangle with another? She cherished her solo life–running a business, making her own money. Why on earth did she have to get involved with another guy? She wasn’t crazy.
Besides, even if she wanted to find someone new, she was sure her family, especially Bark, wouldn’t agree. Bark was still fuming about her marriage, if she pursued another relationship, he’d probably lose it.
1 do appreciate the gifts, even though they’re not really helpful to me,” Sylvia said with a nod of thanks to Catherine, who watched her in disbelief. “But I think you should keep them. Most of these guys seem more your type, so I won’t take them.”

That incident had somehow led to them all becoming good friends, hanging out together ever since, their relations growing ever stronger.
“If you’re really set on giving this stuff to me, go talk to my brothers first. If they don’t object, then I’ll keep it,” Sylvia suggested, neatly passing the buck to her older siblings, assuming they wouldn’t approve either.
Catherine rolled her eyes in exasperation. “Can’t you be independent without using your brothers as a shield? Forget it. If you don’t want them, I’ll keep it for myself.”
