    Sylvia calmly replied, “I don’t want to work there anymore” “I don’t believe you. Is it because Sonia is


    giving you more Trouble?”


    “No”


    “Then, why did you leave?” Sylvia knew that if she did not tell Tristan the truth today, the man would


    continue to haunt lier like a ghost A quick thoughtter, she said, “Well, I don’t want to work in your


    studio anymore” “You don’t want to work in my studio? Did you resign because of me?” Tristan was in


    disbelicf.


    “Yes.”


    “Why?”


    Sylvia was stunned She was as straightforward as she could be, but he still did not understand. On the


    other end of the call, Tristan clutched his phone tightly, his brows furtowed as he said, “Sylvia, tell me.

    them. Sonia and her fantly can no longer do anything to me.” Tristan went qulet. The silence went on for


    a while until Sylvia said, “If that’s all, I’ll be hanging up.”

    On the way back, she stopped by the supermarket to buy some ingredients. She knew Isabel loved


    spaghetu bolognese, and Aunt Tonya was great at making meatballs, but a good tomato paste was the

    “Mm-hmm.”


    “I booked a ce at The Greens. Let’s go have dinner there together.” Odell wanted to say yes, but he


    suddenly thought of something. He tightened his lips in silence.


    The Greens was a well-known restaurant that promised the finest Western cuisine, and it was difficult to

    started to recall the barbecue and the pastries that Sylvia had made at her cest night
