Sylvie tried as much as she could to clear the fog in her mind as she left the station, but it was almost

impossible.

She was disoriented, until she reached hand found someone who's presence was enough to take her mind

off Westley for a a moment.

Her mood turned sourer staring at Phoebe who stood in the living room, holding her bag and looking around like

she was stepping foot in the place for the first time. And Sylvie wouldn't doubt that. Neither the woman nor

anyone from Kage's family had been to his house. Sylvie was beyond grateful she hadn't had to deal with any of

them for four months.

A scowl crept into Phoebe's face when she turned and saw Sylvie. Sylvie hated that someone like her would end

up to be her babies' grandmother. The woman didn't even like them at all. Phoebe hummed, giving her a head-

to-toe stare with her eyes lingering longer on her bump.

"Hm,"

Feeling uncomfortable, Sylvie lifted her hand to her bump protectively.

"At last, we meet again." She added.

Yeah, and | wish we didn't have to - Sylvie thought angrily.

"Hi, Sylvie mumbled, then turned toward the staircase, deciding to ignore the woman.

"You must really feel so accomplished, huh? Having Kage take your side?" Phoebe's voice dripped with disdain,

bringing Sylvie to a halt. "You must think you've won. Finally,

reveal the truth to her. What would be her reaction when she learnt that it her son that had chosen to include her

in the will? She was certain the woman's shock would know was actually no bound

Phoebe visibly stiffened, tearing her gaze away from Sylvie.

Sylvie released a deep breath, finding comfort in his presence. At least, she knew with him around, she wouldn't

have to deal with his mother.

She lowered her gaze and waited for him to get down to the last step before looking back

at him.

"Hi." She mumbled.

Kage slid his gaze between Sylvie and his mother for sseconds.

"How was your visit to Cindy?" He finally asked, but his tone carried a cold edge.

Yep. Sylvie had told him she was hanging out with Cindy and sfriends.

"It was okay," she pushed sstrands of hair behind her ear.

Then, she tried to walk past him, wanting to take the stairs. But just as she reached his side, he got a hold of her

wrist.

"You should stay," he spoke in hushed tones, but it was audible for Phoebe to hear. The woman's frown

deepened.

Sylvie's brows furrowed. She opened her mouth to say something but couldn't get the words out as Kage looked

away from her, walking toward Phoebe. With his hand still holding Sylvie's, she was forced to walk with him. "Hi,

mum.

"Kage." Phoebe forced a smile, trying to hide however displeased she was by Sylvie's presence. "I'm so glad | get

to meet you, finally. Although, as your mother, I'd say it's a bit shameful"

Kage took a seat, pulling Sylvie to sit next to him.

"I'd like to speak to you, Kage. Alone." Phoebe demanded, her tone hard.

Kage held Sylvie's hand even more firmly "If you have anything to say to me, you'd have to do it in front of

Sylvie."

Red flickered in the woman's eyes, while Sylvie was astonished. She looked at Kage seated beside her, but he

had his cold gaze pinned on his mother.

It was all Phoebe could do not to growl at the visible contact between both of them. If only she could, she'd

probably cut off Sylvie's hand so Kage wouldn't have to hold her like that, ever again. "When my family's

Phoebe snorted. "Please, you act it like we actually threatened her with a weapon. We didn't-"
