After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril) novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87 Dream

In truth, when Sylvia had decided to divorce Cyril, she cast aside not only their regrets but also the painful memories. Now, as some of those regrets were being reconciled, she could feel herself gradually letting go of her feelings for him.

It’s often said that it’s hard to let go because one clings too tightly to the past, But once that fixation fades, you realize your feelings for the person weren’t as intense as you thought. Sylvia felt that was precisely where she stood now.

After the dance ended, Sylvia and Cyril immediately parted ways.

“I never thought you could dance,” Cyril remarked,

“There’s a lot you never figured out because you never really knew me. Let’s just act like strangers from now on,” Sylvia replied, eager to avoid any drama. She knew her friends had grown weary of Cyril, and she feared they might deliberately complicate matters if they realized he was there.

Cyril could tell she was determined to distance herself from him, and it irked him. Weren’t they still connected in some way through their past marriage, he pondered silently. His lips pressed together–it wasn’t how he wished things to be.

“Let’s just enjoy the night separately. This party is for my friends, and I don’t want any unpleasantness,” Sylvia said plainly, and with that, she disappeared into the crowd.

As she melded into the sea of people, Cyril followed her with his gaze until she was obscured by the multitude milling about. Eventually, he lost sight of her altogether.

When Sylvia found her friends, she spotted Duncan lounging on a couch, looking reproachfully in her direction.

“Goodness, I knew you wouldn’t want to dance. I didn’t dance either because I was looking for you everywhere, and when I finally found you, you were dancing with someone else. Clearly, there’s no room for me in your heart,” Duncan half–joked, half–serious.

Sylvia rubbed her temples. How had she forgotten about Duncan?

“Cut it out,” she said. “You were never in that space to begin with. You were just insistent. And tonight you’re the star. You can’t just ignore all the guests. Go and tend to your party.

Get up

and go. Aren’t you tired of sitting?”

Luckily, Juliet intervened just in time, saving Sylvia from an awkward situation. Grateful, Sylvia smiled and appreciated her friend’s help. She was relieved, for if she truly felt cornered, she wouldn’t have known how to respond to Duncan.

Chapter 817 Dreami

She had never thought much of Duncan’s intentions before, but now, realizing he had more than friendship on his mind, she found herself unsure how to face him.

He had been ready to confront Sylvia about why she was dancing with Cyril, given they were divorced. But at the last moment, he checked himself. Regardless of their past relationship, they were divorced now, and Sylvia was free to do as she pleased. It wasn’t

“I’ve just climbed out of the grave of marriage, and I’m in no rush to dabble in romance again. If you guys are interested, be my guest,” Sylvia said, watching her friends take playful jabs at her.

“We sure don’t want that,” Kelly and Juliet both crossed their arms over their chests, vehemently opposed to the idea of marrying, particularly after seeing the turmoil Sylvia had endured in hers.
