Chapter 14
Westley was beyond displeased when Sylvie had given him the update. He insisted she called off the deal. Even if ani important funder like Ambrose was going to leave, he was ready to put in enough money into the business,
But Sylvie refused. She wanted to work for her money and didn’t want to stay indebted to another man
She knew Kage was simply trying to frustrate her, like the arrogant jerk that he was, but her only concern were the babies, she didn’t want him finding out about it. So, she feared spending too much time with him might give her out
The bump was still not out. Sylvie concluded she was going to keep it from him by all means.
That evening, she decided to go to Kage’s place to get her things which she’d left behind.
Westley drove her there and waited outside while she went in. The men at the gate had to place a c
before she was let in
through to the house
Making her way to the house, Sylvie tried to put back the memories behind her. This large beautiful mansion had been very unloving to her in the past two years.
She remembered how she’d become sad whenever she was done from the office and needed to go home. She hated this home” so much, and it was in it she’d lost one of her babies.
Sylvie found Kage’s mum, Phoebe, in the living room. She was laughing and having a drink with her friend. But their smiles faded the moment they caught sight of her.
“Oh Look who’s home, Bonnie chuckled.
“The securities told me she’s only here to pick up her things, Phoebe had a glare in her eyes as she spoke.
“Oh… How important are they that she couldn’t just leave them behind after running off?”
“Don’t be naive, Bonnie. Such things matter most to her, you know? They’re not as rich as you think.”
Sylvie’s hands were fisted beside her as she approached them. Initially, she’d wanted to offer some courtesy, but after listening
to them…
She walked past them, like they weren’t even there.
“Seriously? Have you forgotten how to show some respect?” Bonnie scoffed.
Sylvic sucked in her bottom lip as she paused and looked at them. Tm no longer a member of this family, so I don’t have to pretend anymore. If you don’t mind, I’d like to leave as quickly as I came.
She went off.
Thankfully, they didn’t say anything else as she took the stairs. She walked down the hallway leading to her former room and was soon in it. It was just as she’d left it, although it seemed like someone had been maintaining it.
She proceeded to arrange her things, and a while later, she was done. Some maids came up and assisted her in taking her bags downstairs.
Sylvie left the room finally with just one luggage in hand. As soon as she stepped out of it, her gaze fell on Lancelot who appeared to have been coming to her.
She froze in that moment. By the time she decided to mask her fear and surprise, it was too late.
“Hey,” he wore a grim smile.
He was casually dressed in black shorts and a black top. She hadn’t seen him in ten years since he left the country, but he looked better than he was before. Probably meaner too.
“It’s quite a shame your marriage with my cousin finally came to an end. I know it was all contracted, but a part of me had been thinking it’d be just like in the movies, you know?” He chuckled. “You know how it is when few days to the divorce, the couples finally realize they’re in love. I guess the hatred between you and Kage was just too much.”
