    Asharp silence took over the moment Sylvia disclosed these past events.


    Sylvia assumed that Thomas was baffled by the tale and chuckled self-deprecatingly. “You think it’s absurd too, don’t you?”


    He clenched his hand into a ball of fist underneath the table, but hung a faint smile on his lips. “It’s pretty incredible, | admit.”


    After a pause, he asked again, “Does that mean he realized that you were the one who saved him all along?”


    “Yeah, Tara ended up returning the ring to him. It was sometime around when you took me to Lush Heaven with Isabel and Liam


    to visit him. After that, | paid him another visit and that’s when | identally saw the ring.” An awkward silence descended upon


    them again. She sensed that something was off and stole a look at him. His handsome expression seemed to beam underneath


    the ceiling lights. She could see her own reflection inside his hazel eyes. He spoke suddenly, “So, are you nning to go back to


    him?” This flustered her and invoked a sense of guilt that came out of nowhere. “I never even thought about that, Thomas.” He


    curled his lips into a faint smile. “We''re not officially together yet so you can go back to him if you want to.” “I won''t ever get back


    together with him again,” she dered firmly, “There was some misunderstanding between us, that’s true. But it doesn’t erase all


    the hurt he’s done to me in the past.”


    The pain he caused her was not something that can be erased with mere exnations and the evidence of the sapphire ring.


    Asoft, endearing look returned to Thomas’s eyes. He suggested, “So does that mean we can begin dating officially?”


    Something gleamed in Sylvia’s eyes, and she stammered for words, “I... I...”


    “You haven''t made up your mind?” he asked. She avoided his gaze and grunted, “Hm.”


    This was all too sudden so she was unprepared. “Is two days enough for you?”


    “Two days?” She was still registering what he said. He grinned and stated, “Two days for you to consider whether you would


    be my girlfriend.”


    She felt her cheeks radiating with heat. “Okay.”


    He looked at her with a profound look, then he added, “You can choose to return to him after these two days if you want to.


    However, if you promise to be my girlfriend, | won’t simply give you up anymore.”


    He dered with a sharp, resolute tone.


    Sylvia pursed her lips. “Okay.”


    After breakfast, she went back home with Thomas. He promptly went to see Madam Carter while she returned to her room.


    Isabel and Liam were already up.


    By the time she entered the room, Liam had already put on a shirt and a pair of denim trousers with suspenders. He was busy


    helping his sister with the cor of her shirt. Upon noticing her, Isabel rushed to her and asked, “Mommy, Aunt Tonya told us you


    went out. Where have you been?” Sylvia patted her head and said, “Your uncle is here to see Great-grandma. Mommy was


    having breakfast with him just now.” Isabel''s eyes lit up. “Uncle is here?” “Yes, he’s visiting Great-grandmother next door.” “I want


    to see Great-grandma too!” She wrung herself free from Sylvia’s arms and bolted outside. Sylvia emitted a soft sigh, then she


    took Liam’s hand and left the room.Còntens bel0ngs to N?(v)elDr/a/ma.Org


    Aunt Tonya had just made breakfast. It was a special ndodle dish that the children loved. Since it did not seem like Isabel was


    going toe downstairs anytime soon, Sylvia ate a little more than usual with Liam and Aunt Tonya.


    Shortly after they finished eating, two figures of different sizes emerged. Isabel had a bunch of treats in her arms and was lying


    comfortably in Thomas’ arms. The moment she showed up, she announced at the top of her voice, “Mommy, Uncle says that


    he’s going to bring us somewhere very fun!” Sylvia turned to Thomas.
