NovelEnglishChapter 46
Brewing the coffee, Sylvia carried it to the living room.
It was a rare occasion to have so many people gathered, feeling cheerful and warm. Even Tristan, who usually
had a serious expression, couldn't help but smile a bit more today. After serving the coffee, Sylvia stood behind
Naomi and Edwin, continuing to play her role as someone who could easily go unnoticed.
Just then, Rupert entered, with a noticeable coffee stain on his collar.
Fiona exclaimed, "Rupert, you're always so neat. How did you get your shirt dirty?"
Rupert sat down, took a sip of his coffee, and glanced at Sylvia before replying indifferently, "A cat rubbed
against me."
Fiona took a sip of her coffee and chuckled, "That cat must be quite something, bumping into your mouth, huh?"
Rupert blew on his coffee and nodded slightly.

As Sylvia heard this, her head drooped, her face flushing consecutively.
After sidle chat, Tristan announced it was tfor his afternoon nap, prompting everyone to prepare to
leave.
"Rupert, walkto the garden."
"Sure."
Rupert stood up, accompanying Tristan as they walked away.
Sylvia, who had been keeping her head down, felt a gaze briefly sweep over her. However, she didn't look up,
pretending as if nothing was happening.
But this fleeting moment of eye contact was caught by Bridget.
Bridget clenched the fork she was holding but didn't dare let the Garcias see anything amiss. She still
maintained a gentle smile, "Why don't we sit down and chat for a while longer?"
In the past, people would have stayed to keep her company, respecting her as Rupert's fiancée. But after the
incident at the press conference, most knew Bridget wasn't as simple as she seemed, leading them to adopt a
wait-and-see attitude. After all, until Bridget officially beca part of the Garcia family, her position was
precarious.
Many found excuses to leave, leaving Bridget embarrassed. She excused herself to take a walk in the garden and
left. As she passed by Sylvia, she gave her a cryptic look.
Eventually, only Naomi and Sylvia were left in the living room.
Naomi, enjoying her coffee, laughed, "Huh, she's quite the commander without even being officially in the family
yet. Looks like she hit a snag this time."
Sylvia pressed the coffee cup to her lips, "Mom, let's not talk about it. Someone might overhear."
Naomi took a sip of her coffee, eyeing Sylvia, and held her chin up, "Why's your face all red?"
Sylvia brushed her hand away, "It's hot with so many people around, okay?"

might start dreaming of a wedding.
Naomi clicked her tongue, looking disapprovingly at Sylvia's plain attire, "You're a woman, can't you dress up a
bit? Why do you have to ruin such a pretty face? How are you going to find someone to marry?"
"lI won't marry. I'll just stick with you," Sylvia retorted.
"You...you're going to pissoff," Naomi said, though her eyes betrayed her amusement.
She might not have much, but her love for her daughter was genuine. The two then went back to the garden
together.
Meanwhile.
