She felt half her body go weak, as if even her soul no longer belonged to her.
...
The basement of the private villa, and especially the home theater, had the best soundproofing.
It allowed for complete abandon—no need to hold back, no reason to worry.

By the time Sylvia returned to the Quintin family home, night had already fallen. She distributed the gifts she had bought to Old Mr. Quintin and the others.
Old Mr. Jarvis was all smiles. “You bought something for me too?”
Old Mr. Quintin, clutching his own gift, looked smug. “That’s only because of me! You’re just reaping the benefits.”
Old Mr. Jarvis didn’t bother arguing; he knew perfectly well who he had to thank for the gift.
Georgia was especially delighted with her present from Sylvia. “Gab, thank you for all your help today.”
Gabriel glanced coolly at Sylvia and replied with a smile, “It was nothing. I’m happy to help.”
Sylvia walked over and fastened the bracelet onto Georgia’s wrist herself.
Gabriel spoke up, “It really suits you, Georgia.”
Georgia held up her wrist for him to see, teasing, “You didn’t pick this out, did you?”
“No,” Gabriel replied with a faint smile, “Sylvia chose it herself.”
Georgia nodded knowingly. “That’s what I thought. This is definitely my Nana’s taste.”
As the three of them chatted, Old Mr. Jarvis grinned and nudged Old Mr. Quintin, “Just look at Gab and Sylvia—don’t they make a perfect pair?”
Old Mr. Quintin, however, was feeling more and more reluctant to let Sylvia go. The thought that she might get married and move to C City, making her visits rare, made his heart ache. He bristled and said, “I don’t see it.”
Old Mr. Jarvis shook his head. “You need your eyes checked.”
Old Mr. Quintin snorted and turned away in a huff.
