“What do you need to bring home? I can help you pack,” Georgia offered.
Sylvia smiled. “That’s alright, I can manage on my own. I really don’t have much!”
Old Mr. Quintin’s tone was gentle and kind. “Once you’re finished, make sure to come home. Your grandfather still has something to discuss with you.”
“Alright,” Sylvia replied.
Evelyn chimed in with a smile, “When Sylvia comes home, she can stay in the room next to mine. That way, we can keep each other company and chat.”
Georgia politely declined with a faint smile. “That’s not necessary. I’ve already had the room next to mine prepared—I’d like to be closer to Nana.”
Evelyn let out an awkward laugh. “That works too.”
After breakfast, Gabriel drove Sylvia to her office, with Old Mr. Quintin walking them all the way to the front gate.
As Evelyn sat in the Quintin family’s car driven by their chauffeur, she watched Old Mr. Quintin and Georgia lingering at the gate, their eyes following Gabriel’s car as it drove away. Evelyn felt a chill settle in her heart.
Blood really is thicker than water. She had spent months by Old Mr. Quintin’s side, but it still couldn’t compare to Sylvia’s single day at home.
“Let’s go—we’ll be late,” Evelyn said, pulling her gaze away and instructing the driver.

Driving, Gabriel kept his eyes on the road and asked Sylvia, “Do you really have a business dinner tonight?”
Sylvia leaned lazily against the seat, sunlight casting a bright glow across her gentle profile. She nodded, “I really do.”
Gabriel glanced at her but said nothing.
Sylvia’s smile was soft. “I’ll drive myself tonight. You don’t have to pick me up.”
Gabriel nodded lightly. “Alright.”
After a moment of silence, Sylvia asked in an almost casual tone, “When are you and Old Mr. Jarvis heading back to J City?”
