After they sat down, Tristan asked, âSylvia, whatâs wrong? Did something happen at work today Sylvia ignored his question and asked, âTristan, did Tara talk to you?â Feeling surprised, he responded, âHow did you know?â
As she expected Sylvia then asked, âDid she tell you about your mother seeing me the other day?â âYeah, she did.â
**Did she also tell you that I rejected you because of Sonia?
Tristan frowned. âShe did.â Sylvia squinted her eyes. He was confused. âSylvia, why are you asking me all this? She pursed her lips. She did not know how to tell him that Tara had played him. Tara had used his feelings for Sylvia and made him her lapdog However, Sylvia believed the multiple rejections were hurtful enough for Tristan, and if she told him that Tara had played and tricked him, he would probably be devastated. She knew how it felt being framed and being a pawi in someone elseâs garne of chess.
A quick thought later, she said, âItâs nothing I have something to do I have to go now.â She wanted to leave, but Tristan stopped her at the door and pulled her back. He stared at her and asked, âSylvia, tell me whatâs going on.â âI just wanted to clarify something with you. Thereâs nothing else I want to say.â
âThen, whatâs with those questions.â Sylvia was speechless for a while. She then said, âTristan, just let me go for now Iâll tell you another dayâ
It would not be too late to tell him the truth after she carefully verbalized it to minimize the impact to him Tristan stood still and Sylvia frowned at him. He then curved his lips into a smile you leave if you donât tell me whatâs going on.â
I wonât let Sylvia gasped. She said, âWeâve been tricked by Tara.â The look on his face changed. âTricked? How?
About what?â Since she already revealed the culprit behind all this, it was pointless to keep the secret from him anymore She said, âShe told you all those things to deceive you, making you think that I rejected you because of Sonia and your mother She knew you would go back to your parents and confront Tristan asked, âWhy is she doing this to me? What good does it do her?â
âI have no idea either, but Odell now thinks that I made you go on a hunger strike against your parents so that they would agree for her to be together He believes I plotted everything and refuses to let me see my kidsâ
âAre you crying Tara is trying to keep you from seeing your kids?â Tristan said with a frown.â But you are their mother What does seeing your own kids have anything to do with her? She went through the effort just to keep you frorn them? It sounds a little ridiculousâ
âI donât know why sheâs doing this either, but now, I really canât see my kids because of her âTristan went quirt. He stared at her and his expression grew a little heavy Sylvia said in a small voice, âCan you not stare at me like that?â
He forced a bitter sinile âSo, you did not reject me because of thein? You simply reject me because you donât like the Sylvia hummed a reply Things werit quiet The at started to feel suffocating. She said, âWe are no match for each other. Our status, our identities.
Nothing matches. You will definitely meet someone better than meâ
