Chapter 547
Sebastian darted a look at Aunt Tonya. âI...â
Aunt Tonya supplied, âSebastian, Sylvia is right. We need to head back first. Donât worry about us, we'll be fine.â
Sebastian glanced in a particular direction upstairs before giving in. âOkay.â Sylvia said goodbye to him and walked out with Liam
in her arms. Aunt Tonya followed closely with Isabel in her arms. They crossed the yard and went past the gate in no time.
Meanwhile, in a bedroom upstairs, a tall man was stalking them near the window. He had a deep and thoughtful look in his eyes
as he stared at Sylvia in particular.
The sun cast its gentle rays on her slender back, the warmth of the sun making her seem especially delicate.
The academy would be having their winter break as well. This Thursday was going to be Sylviaâs last class for this semester.
After getting up in the morning and having breakfast with the kids and Aunt Tonya, she hugged and kissed the two little guys in
turn before informing them, âLiam, Isabel, Mommy is going to go to work and will be back in the evening. Now, both of you stay
home and be good children. Listen to Aunt Tonya, got it?â
Isabel chirped, âOkay!â Liam echoed, âYeah.â
With that, Sylvia left. She drove to the academy, and the first thing she did was prepare for her classes, just like she always did.
After everything was settled, she went to get lunch.
Since Thomas's office was next to hers, she sent him a text message. âThomas, are you at the academy today?â She received a
very quick answer. âYeah.â
She invited him to lunch. âWant to get something to eat?â
Thomas replied, âSure.â
Sylvia put on her coat and went out.
As soon as she stepped out of her office, out came Thomas from his office as well. He was wearing a long gray coat, and his
figure was tall and stately like a statue. His appearance was dashing as always.
Sylvia smiled at him and asked, âWhat would you like to eat today?â Thomas walked next to her and remarked, âAnything you'd
like.â âAlright
Sylvia was in the mood for something on the heavier side today, so they went to a restaurant that served Thai food. She ordered
several spicy dishes for herself and made sure to order
something lighter for Thomas, then she handed the menu back to the waiter. The air conditioning in the restaurant seemed to be
set to a rather high temperature.
After sitting for just a while, Sylvia began to feel hot and sticky with sweat. She took off her coat and put it aside.
Thomas was feeling hot too, so he did the same and hung his coat on his chair.
Upon looking up, Sylviaâs eyes landed on two sharp edges protruding from slightly below his shoulders, and she studied his
defined and alluring collar bones. He was wearing a t-shirt with a loose collar, so whenever he leaned forward, one could get a
glimpse of the treasures that lay underneath.
Sylvia suddenly felt her temperature rise, as if it was not hot enough already. She averted her gaze. Thomas did not seem to
notice anything peculiar. After their food arrived, he made sure to move the spicy dishes to Sylviaâs end of the table All of a
sudden, Sylvia gave a few dry coughs. Thomas looked at her with a queer gaze. âWhat's wrong?â Sylvia looked away and
murmured with an air of embarrassment, âUm, could you fix your collar?â
Thomas inspected his collar and answered, âMy collar is fine.â Sylvia turned stiff for a moment as her eyes landed on his collar.
They were still so revealing... Sylvia immediately lowered her head. âItâs a little low. Could you pull it up?â Thomas made a slight
grimace and informed her, âThis shirt is designed like this. If you insist, then | will put my coat on.â Sylvia hurriedly changed the
topic. âNo, no, itâs fine. Letâs eat.â With that, she quickly picked up her spoon and went back to eating. Seeing this, Thomas did
not reach for his coat and proceeded to eat as well. Perhaps it was a mixture of the already hot and humid room as well as the
sheer spiciness of the Thai cuisine that Sylvia's face turned into a bright red hue by the time she was finished eating
