Chapter 33
Tristan’s face froze for a while. “Are they yours and Odell’s kids?”
“Yes.”
Then, Sylvia passed him the sunflower that she finished carving. “I’m done, Mr. Ledger.”
Tristan stared at the carved sunflower. It was minimalistic yet blooming with life, and his eyes glimmered
with interest when he saw it. He took it and smiled at her. “Nicely done.”
Sylvia got up. “If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back to work.”
Tristan’s smile remained. “Okay.”
While she exited the room, Tristan’s eyes never left her. He even clutched the carved sunflower in his
hands tightly.
“Sylvia, I’ll never let you go again.”
Right after Sylvia came out from the office, Betty sashayed up to her. As though she was a paparazzi,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtshe sniffed for any kinds of gossip revolving the boss and Sylvia.
“Our grandfathers were friends, so I knew him since we were young,” Sylvia said.
Indeed, they knew each other when they were young. Even though he lived with his parents in the
wealthy district, he would visit her at the Old District every weekend, where they would play together.
However, after his grandfather passed away, his parents became stricter and forbade him from visiting,
hence the distance in their friendship.
After they both grew up, he confessed his love to her which shocked her for days. He even had to
apologize to her and claim that it was a prank to calm her down.
A while after that, she married Odell, and to avoid gossip, she kept her distance from
him.
Who would have thought that the carving studio that she worked in belonged to him?
Surprised, Betty asked, “So, you guys are like childhood friends?”
Sylvia answered with a hint of nervousness, “No, just normal friends.”
Betty remembered that Sylvia had two kids, and if they were really childhood friends, they would have
been together. It was fairly impossible for Sylvia to have been pregnant with some other man’s kids.
However, Betty’s instinct told her that Tristan viewed Sylvia as more than just a friend.
Maybe she was over thinking… :
Sylvia noticed Betty’s persistence, so she urged, “Betty, go back to work. We still have a deadline to
meet tomorrow.”
After Betty regained her composure and returned to work, Sylvia also returned to her desk and continued
carving.
After a day’s work, it was time for the kids to get off school.
Sylvia tidied her desk and was about to leave, but she ran into Tristan at the entrance.
He leaned against the wall with a warm smile on his face as he asked, “Going to fetch your kids?”

Sylvia hummed a reply and wanted to walk past him.
“I’m free. Why don’t I drive you over?”
She smiled. “It’s okay. I’m driving.”
She then pulled out her keys from her bag,
Tristan pouted, “Okay.”
Her car was parked beside the entrance; it was a black SUV.
Sylvia waved at Tristan before she got in and drove off.
A few minutes later, she arrived at her children’s kindergarten. Similar to the other parents, she waited for
her children at the entrance.
The bell rung just on time, and the teachers brought the kids out.
Isabel came out with a yellow cap and a red dress while Liam was dressed in a simple shirt and denim
overalls. The two of them held hands as they came out.
“Mommy!” They called the moment they saw Sylvia. Sylvia was all smiles when she bent over to hug
them.
