Chapter 184 Ran Away
This feeling was really strange. Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed. Miles‘ attention was all focused on Jimmy, yet here she was, getting upset about something trivial. She quickly brushed away these unwarranted thoughts from her mind.
Helping to choose several sets of clothes, Sylvia didn’t refuse the current child, especially Jimmy. He was very cute and looked very handsome in the clothes she picked. Especially the clothes Sylvia picked for him, Jimmy liked them very much. This was much better than when his dad had the clothes sent directly to their house by those brand companies. It made him happy.
After buying clothes, it was almost time for dinner. Sylvia was about to leave, but she was stopped by the two of them, especially Jimmy.
“Sis, you helped me pick so many beautiful clothes today. I’ll definitely make Dad treat you to dinner. Otherwise, if you don’t want to eat with Dad, you can eat with me, okay? I’ll use Dad’s money to pay, and when I have money in the future, I’ll treat you.”
Jimmy was willing to give up eating with his dad just to have dinner with Sylvia. Miles gave his son’s head a firm knock. This kid was really something.
“Dad, can’t you see? Beautiful sis doesn’t want to eat with you. Look, since we came out, beautiful sis has been very nervous, always looking around. There must be someone secretly taking photos. So, you can’t eat here. Let beautiful sis and me go eat together.”
Sylvia was surprised. She didn’t think her actions just now were so obvious, but Jimmy noticed them.
Miles noticed Sylvia’s reaction and, as they walked along the sidewalk, he took the opportunity to explain to her.
“His father used to be a very famous painter. After he committed suicide by jumping off a building, the media hounded him incessantly. He lived under the spotlight for two years. That’s why he’s so sensitive to these things. He’s been receiving psychological counseling all along, which has helped him a lot.”
Sylvia nodded. She didn’t expect such a young child to have experienced such things, but she also felt very sorry for him. Such a young child had lost his father.
She said to Miles, “Although he lost a father, he also gained a very loving father, didn’t he? By the way, I know there’s a very good private kitchen nearby. Shall we go together?”
Without continuing the previous topic, it was not a big deal for adults, but for a child, it might be a wound that was hard to heal.
After they agreed, Sylvia led the way to the private kitchen. Security was tight, and privacy was well protected. They didn’t have to worry about someone suddenly taking out a phone to snap a photo and post it online here.
“The desserts here are delicious. Does Jimmy still eat sweets? I can recommend some ice creams. They’re really good. Would you like to try?”
Jimmy nodded vigorously. Of course, he wanted to. He was currently in the stage of changing teeth, so Miles strictly limited his sugar intake. But with Sylvia here, he wasn’t afraid. He had to indulge himself at this moment.
After Sylvia ordered a few dishes, she handed the menu to Miles, who also ordered a few dishes. Then they waited for the food to arrive.
There wasn’t much to talk about between them, but having Jimmy there made it less awkward.
Soon the food was served. The three of them ate and laughed. During the meal, Miles showed his thoughtfulness by constantly serving Jimmy and taking care of Sylvia.
After finishing the meal, the sun was about to set.
As the three of them walked out together, Miles suddenly reached out and tucked a strand of Sylvia’s hair behind her ear.
This gesture was a bit intimate and ambiguous. Sylvia instinctively stepped aside, feeling uncomfortable all over.
“Sorry, I didn’t mean to do that.”
Miles quickly apologized. He didn’t expect himself to suddenly tuck Sylvia’s hair behind her ear like that. If he had known Sylvia’s reaction would be so strong, he wouldn’t have done it.
Sylvia just smiled and didn’t say anything, but she felt that the gesture with her hair had a strange power, making her feel particularly uncomfortable.
“Let me walk you home.”
Although it wasn’t a big deal, after what happened just now, Sylvia instinctively, almost like fleeing, shook her head and took two steps back. “No need. I have a friend to meet. It’s almost time. I’ll leave now. You two take your time.”
After saying this, Sylvia ran away faster than a rabbit, Miles was silent, and Jimmy was extremely curious.
“Why did sis react like that? Doesn’t she want to be with us?”
“Of course not. She’s just a little shy. It’s okay. We’ll see her more often in the future and talk to her more.”
“I see. Well, should we go back too? But who is the friend she’s meeting?”
Miles thought about it. Probably Juliette and the friends around Sylvía,
In fact, it was exactly as he thought. After Sylvia left, she immediately called the people around her. Although she called so many people, she excluded Duncan. If she called Duncan, things might not be so simple. “Why did you suddenly call us all out late at night? The branch leader is still busy with nightlife at this time.”
Milan yawned. When he went out today, Duncan was supposed to come with him. If it weren’t for Sylvia’s words, he wouldn’t have dared to bring Dandan along. He really wanted
to see the excitement.
Kate laughed on the side and raised her phone. “I just saw you and Miles eating together, and now you’re here. Did you just run away?”
“Online?” Sylvia was surprised. She took out her phone and flipped through it, and sure enough, she saw messages about her and Miles eating and shopping. Sylvia felt a headache coming on.
