Tristan simply ordered something on the menu. Sylvia noticed that everything he ordered was on the cheaper side of the scale, which caused a helpless twitch on her face. While she was not exactly rich, she was not living in poverty either. She took the menu over and ordered all the signature dishes. “We can’t finish all of that,” Tristan said. “We’ll just pack them up if we can’t finish them. Tristan simply smiled in silence. A while later, the dishes were served. Sylvia chatted with him over lunch. He asked her about the cities she had gone to in the past few years and how she brought Isabel up alone. Sylvia answered all his questions. Then, he asked, “Sylvia, it has been three years since your divorce from Odell. Have you ever thought about finding another partner?”. He stared straight into her eyes when he asked the question. Sylvia boldly looked into his eyes and said, “No. The glimmer in Tristan’s eyes dimmed a little, but he maintained the smile on his face, “Why not?”. “Nothing in particular, I just don’t want to. The things that happened three years ago still felt l ike they had happened yesterday, and she would never fall for another man again just to keep herself safe. Her cold gaze had a strong sense of resolution in it. Tristan forcefully swallowed his following question after noticing her look. He simply put some food onto her plate a nd said, “Here, I remember you like this a lot. Have more. “Tha nk y ou. Tristan then looked at her and said wi th a serious gaze, “Sylvia, there’s re ally no need for courtesy between us

Unfortunately, the s ky started to drizzl e after a few steps. Tristan took his jacket off and pu t it over Sylvia. She was a little surprised. She to ok it off and wanted to give it ba ck. “I’m okay. You don’t have to. Tristan took the jacket back and then put it over her head again. He said, “ I’m fine. You take it. Don’t get wet. Sylvia did not want to linger on the topic, so the y quickly strode forward. It was a working day, bu t the commercial square was actually less crowded. When they were almost ou t of the place, Tara’s v oice came from the side. “Mr. Led ger?” . Tristan stopped when he he ard the voice call him. Sy lvia turned around as well. Other than Tara, they also saw Odell holding an umbrella beside her

Sylvia was caught off guard by the sudden encounter. Odell reacted with a w ry expression when he had a good look at her. Tara asked in surprise , “Sylvia? Why are you here with Mr. Ledger?” . Sylvia did not answer b ecause she did not want to talk to her at all. Tristan noticed Tara and Odell’s intimacy . He scoffed and said, “Sylvia is working at my studio, and we had lunch together.

We have an extra umbrella in our car. Do you want it?” . “We’re good. Our studio is just a few minutes away. Tara gr inned. “Okay.

He said to Sylvia, “Let’s go. ” Sylvia nodded and went off with him without looking back
