Chapter 185 Out of Control The more you donât want something to happen, the more likely it is to happen. Sylvia didnât know how to explain to the two people around her. She just wanted to say that this wasnât the case at all.
Finding herself in this situation, she definitely didnât want to see it happen.
Their friends looked at Sylvia with a curious expression, and Sylvia felt a bit helpless. Nevertheless, she weakly explained, âI really just bumped into him today. There was nothing else to it. I just wanted to come out and have some fun by myself. Originally, Juliette was supposed to come with me, but she had something come up at the last minute, so I had to go alone. I helped him pick out a few clothes for his son and then we had a meal together. Thereâs nothing else to it.â
âWhy would a perfectly fine person like him need you to pick out clothes for his son? Doesnât he have his own fashion team? Why did he have to go with you? Whatâs your relationship with him?â
Mirandaâs words hit the nail on the head, directly pointing out the problem. Sylvia suddenly found herself in this situation. Why didnât she think that her clothes were usually delivered to her door?
Logically speaking, Milesâ family must be the same. How did it turn into this?
âIsnât it easy to explain this? He must have taken a liking to you, so he wanted to hang out with you.
What âbumping into each other by chanceâ? How could such a coincidence happen? I think heâs interested in you. Could it be that he wants to pursue you?â
Kate took a sip of her drink and leisurely spoke. Sylvia was also drinking and almost choked. This reaction instantly stunned both of them. The next moment, Miranda tentatively spoke, âCould it be true, Kate? Is he really pursuing you? If thatâs the case, itâs not a bad thing. Compared to Cyril, Miles is very reliable, and heâs a good person.â
âDonât even think about it! Iâve just finally freed myself from marriage. Am I crazy to want to go back to that confinement again?â
Sylvia quickly shook her head to clear up the misunderstanding. Although Miles was indeed a good person, there was no way she would agree to become a family with him.
âIf he wanted to pursue you, would you even know about it? Anyway, I think Miles is a really good guy. If youâre considering marriage, you can consider him.â
Kate shrugged.
If it were someone else, they wouldnât say such things, but Miles was indeed a good person. They had more or less had some contact with him, and after getting to know him, they thought he was a good person. So they were quite willing to see Sylvia interact with him. Of course, if Sylvia didnât want to, there was nothing they could do.
âCan you guys stop saying these things? The more you talk, the more I get a headache.â
Sylvia sighed. She had called them both over just to help her calm down, not to continue gossiping about herself and Miles or gossiping about Miles.
âIâm afraid we canât. Look, upstairs, thereâs someone about to lose control. I feel like theyâre about to come down and ask you why you were with Miles today, why you had dinner together, and why you went shopping together.â
Miranda had been paying attention to them for a while, so she glanced at Cyril. Cyril was tightly holding onto his glass, his eyes fixed on them without blinking. It was obvious which direction he was looking. He knew Sylvia was here and had come over because of that.
It looked like Cyril was about to come down, but he kept controlling himself from doing so. Perhaps he was afraid that if he came down like this, he would quarrel with Sylvia. Sylvia didnât like him to begin with. If they quarreled, wouldnât they just drift further apart?
Sylvia glanced in Cyrilâs direction and then looked away. She had felt a bit annoyed just now, but now she felt even more annoyed. Before, she was annoyed because of the gossip about her and Miles, but now she was annoyed because of Cyril.
âSince thatâs the case, should we go up and say hello to him, or are you leaving?â
To be honest, meeting Cyril here was something they hadnât expected. None of them liked Cyril, so if Sylvia wanted to leave, they had no objections.
âWhy should I leave just because Cyril is here?â
Sylvia laughed directly. Why should she leave? Clearly, this was a place she often came to, and why should she care about Cyrilâs opinion?
âWe have nothing to do with each other now. He can think whatever he wants. Even if Iâm married to someone else today, what reason does he have to come down and question me?â
âAlthough thatâs what you say, he obviously regrets it. Speaking of which, how did you like him in the first place? Now that he regrets it, are you sure you donât want to reconcile with him? Maybe after you two make up, heâll treat you better.â
Miranda spoke with some disregard, clearly knowing that her brother liked Sylvia very much, but at this time, she didnât consider her brotherâs feelings at all.
âListen to what youâre saying! You obviously know how much your brother likes Sylvia, but now youâre not helping your brother, youâre helping Cyril. Do you think thatâs appropriate?â
âWhy wouldnât it be appropriate? I think itâs very appropriate. Even if itâs my brother, so what?â
Even if it was her own brother, she still had to think about Sylviaâs happiness. Obviously, Cyril hadnât entered Sylviaâs heart, which meant they werenât compatible. Since they werenât compatible, why hold onto this matter? It would be better to take this opportunity for each of them to find their own happiness.
Miranda and Kate had different opinions on this matter. Unexpectedly, Kate was on Duncanâs side, which caught Sylvia off guard.
As they talked, they became more and more excited, almost about to argue. Sylvia felt that the situation was getting out of hand and immediately acted as the peacemaker.
âOr should we leave? I feel like Cyrilâs presence here is affecting not only my mood but also yours. If we continue like this, you two might end up fighting here.â After years of friendship, it would be meaningless if they argued because of a man.
