Chapter 67
Love After Marriage: Mr. Lancaster's Hidden Wife
Chapter 67
In all of Westchester City, only Odell could best Tristan at anything. Tara refused to believe that Sylvia
had no feelings for Odell. A while later, Tara regained her composure and said to Odell, âWho would
have expected her to reject Tristan? Did she really just reject him because of his parents? Tristan is a
great man, and based on my understanding of Sylvia, I believe itâs impossible for her not to have any
feelings for him.â Odell looked at her. âAre you saying that Sylvia is playing hard to get?â His gaze looked
sharper than usual. Tara thought about it and explained nervously, âIâm not saying that. I just think that
she has feelings for Tristan, or else why would she have accompanied him to that ball as his partner?
She said she doesnât like you anymore, which means sheâs telling Tristan that there is no one else but
him. It will make Tristan think that he still has a chance.â
Odellâs gaze changed. The strange suffocation that he had in his chest suddenly dispersed. He scoffed,
and a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.
âThis woman is still as scheming as ever.â
Tristan went blank in the room for quite a while.
He only got up after he slightly recovered from his disappointment.
Coincidentally, he bumped into Tara when he came out.
âMaster Tristan, what a coincidence!â Tara greeted him with a smile.
In a foul, mood, Tristan did not want to talk to her, so he simply hummed a reply and was about to leave.
âI saw Sylvia when I came. Are you guys having lunch here?â Tara had a peek at the room that he came
out from. Tristan frowned. âItâs none of your business.â
âItâs so beautiful inside. Did you just confess to Sylvia?â Tara then added.
He tightened his lips, the distraught on his face apparent. âIâm sorry, Master Tristan. I didnât mean
anything.â Tara blinked curiously before she whispered her question, âDid Sylvia reject you?â Despite
feeling upset, Tristan maintained his basic manners and said while almost teetering on the edge of being
impolite, âYou donât need to poke your nose into our business. Just mind your own business and run
along with your man.â âMaster Tristan, I really donât mean anything else. I am just saying that I think
Sylvia has feelings for you too.â
The words made Tristanâs expression change. He asked, âWhat makes you think so?â
âIâve known Sylvia for many years, and I think she has no feelings for Odell anymore. You are a great
man yourself, so itâs impossible that she has no feelings for you.â Tara sighed before she added, âI think
she rejected you because of her sister.â
âSonia?â
Tristan recalled that Sonia did turn up at the studio to cause a scene about Sylvia, hence the frown on
his face.
âYeah. Sylvia has been tolerating her sister since they were young. She knew Sonia liked you, so even if
she had feelings for you, she would never compete with her sister.â
Tristan knew a thing or two about how Sylvia was doing with her family.
If Sylvia truly wanted to reject him, she could have said that he still liked Odell.
Upon hearing Taraâs explanation, Tristanâs disappointment faded substantially. Although he remained
doubtful, he looked at Tara and asked, âWhy are you telling me this?â
Tara whispered, âItâs because of me that Odell divorce her, so I feel bad. I donât want her to have an
unhappy life because of me.â
Her excuse was flawless.
She was indeed the reason for Odell and Sylviaâs divorce.
From there, it gave Tristan a chance to pursue Sylvia.
Tristan seemed a lot more at ease after listening to Tara.
âMaster Tristan, I hope you wonât give up on Sylvia,â Tara added.
âI wonât give up on her. If I can be with her in the end, I owe you one,â Tristan said and then left in a hurry.
Tara wiped her fake smile away and swapped it for a cold grin.
