After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 79

Chapter 79 Not on the Same Path

“I don’t mean it like that. The past is the past, and now is now, we’ve got to keep them separate. Plus, you can’t deny that Sylvia did use underhanded methods to marry you back then. You know this yourself,” Jonathan insisted, unwilling to accept any blame and definitely not acknowledging any wrongdoing on his part. In his eyes, Cyril seemed let down by everything that had happened.

Cyril did not head back to the company; instead, he returned to the marital home. Since the divorce, he had spent most of his time in the apartment near his office and had not returned until now. Stepping inside, he noticed how different the arrangements were from when he had initially left.

He recalled how Sylvia had spent a week choosing the sofa, diligently considering both material and comfort. During their early marriage, Sylvia was genuinely happy engaging personally in every detail of the house, even valuing his opinion, which he sadly had paid no

Cyril sat on the sofa, thinking about how he had always been too busy with work, preferring to stay near the office rather than come home. Sylvia must have sat here too, waiting for him. What were her feelings like then? He couldn’t understand. The more he pondered, the more stifled he felt.
