Chapter 104
After they sat down, Tristan asked, “Sylvia, what’s wrong? Did something happen at work today
Sylvia ignored his question and asked, “Tristan, did Tara talk to you?” Feeling surprised, he responded,
“How did you know?”
As she expected
Sylvia then asked, “Did she tell you about your mother seeing me the other day?” “Yeah, she did.”
**Did she also tell you that I rejected you because of Sonia?
Tristan frowned. “She did.” Sylvia squinted her eyes. He was confused. “Sylvia, why are you asking me
all this? She pursed her lips. She did not know how to tell him that Tara had played him. Tara had used
his feelings for Sylvia and made him her lapdog However, Sylvia believed the multiple rejections were
hurtful enough for Tristan, and if she told him that Tara had played and tricked him, he would probably
be devastated. She knew how it felt being framed and being a pawi in someone else’s garne of chess.
A quick thought later, she said, “It’s nothing I have something to do I have to go now.” She wanted to
leave, but Tristan stopped her at the door and pulled her back. He stared at her and asked, “Sylvia, tell
me what’s going on.” “I just wanted to clarify something with you. There’s nothing else I want to say.”
“Then, what’s with those questions.” Sylvia was speechless for a while. She then said, “Tristan, just let
me go for now I’ll tell you another day”
It would not be too late to tell him the truth after she carefully verbalized it to minimize the impact to him
Tristan stood still and Sylvia frowned at him. He then curved his lips into a smile you leave if you don’t
tell me what’s going on.”
I won’t let
Sylvia gasped. She said, “We’ve been tricked by Tara.” The look on his face changed. “Tricked? How?
About what?” Since she already revealed the culprit behind all this, it was pointless to keep the secret
from him anymore
She said, “She told you all those things to deceive you, making you think that I rejected you because of
Sonia and your mother She knew you would go back to your parents and confront
Tristan asked, “Why is she doing this to me? What good does it do her?”
“I have no idea either, but Odell now thinks that I made you go on a hunger strike against your parents
so that they would agree for her to be together He believes I plotted everything and refuses to let me
see my kids”
“Are you crying Tara is trying to keep you from seeing your kids?” Tristan said with a frown.” But you
are their mother What does seeing your own kids have anything to do with her? She went through the
effort just to keep you frorn them? It sounds a little ridiculous”
“I don’t know why she’s doing this either, but now, I really can’t see my kids because of her
“Tristan went quirt. He stared at her and his expression grew a little heavy
Sylvia said in a small voice, “Can you not stare at me like that?”
He forced a bitter sinile “So, you did not reject me because of thein? You simply reject me because you
don’t like the
Sylvia hummed a reply
Things werit quiet
The at started to feel suffocating. She said, “We are no match for each other. Our status, our identities.
Nothing matches. You will definitely meet someone better than me”
