chapter 161 Longing for Children
Some things are easier to explain, but some things are not so straightforward Sylvia wanted to explain that she had no relation to this child, but sometimes explanations were futile and only made matters worse.
The child indeed bore a striking resemblance to her, enough for him to run up and call her “mom.” The looks she received from those around were unsettlingly strange.
This child appeared to be about five or six years old, but Sylvia had only been married to Cyril for a little over three years. So where did this child come from?
Sylvia didn’t dare ponder what they were thinking just by observing their reactions, she could tell they were up to no good, which gave her a headache
“child, I’m not your mother. You’ve mistaken me for someone else. Besides, I don’t have a son as old as you. I’m not even married.”
“But you are my mother. I saw your photo on Dad’s phone. He said my mom is the most beautiful woman in the world, and the most beautiful person I’ve seen here is you. Haven’t you noticed how much we resemble each other?
Though the child was young, his mind was remarkably agile, and his logic flowed smoothly.
But then he suddenly mentioned a father figure, and the expressions of those around changed. Sylvia found herself at a loss for words.
“But I don’t know who your dad is.”
Sylvia tamed to her brother for help, only to find Bruce looking at her with a searching gaze, adding to her confusion.
Even her own brother had misunderstood.
“It’s not what you think. I truly have no connection with him. I don’t know him, or who his parents are.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Bruce sighed in exasperation. “I know you have no connection with him, but I can’t help but feel he looks familiar. And haven’t you noticed how much he resembles you?
*If he resembles me, perhaps he’s more related to you. After all, he would look even more like you.”
Sylvia said this without hesitation, and it made perfect sense.
If the child shared three similarities with her, then he shared four with Bruce.
It wouldn’t be so strange to say he was Bruce’s son, but what everyone wondered more was if he was Sylvia and Bruce’s.
“Sorry, did our child cause you any trouble?”
Just as Sylvia and Bruce racked their brains to figure out who the child belonged to, a man’s voice suddenly joined the crowd. Sylvia found the voice incredibly familiar and turned to see Miles, whom she had saved in country.
Now she was certain, the figureshe sar on the second floor earlier was indeed Miles.
“Is this your son?”
“He’s my adopted son. His mother passed away early, so he’s always wanted to find his birth mother. He must have thought you were very beautiful, which is why he called you‘ mom.‘ 1 apologize for the trouble. Please don’t take his words seriously, he tends to say things like that.
Clearly, Miles was experienced in handling such situations. After apologizing and explaining, everyone realized it was a misunderstanding
Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Miles intervened in time and explained everything clearly. Otherwise, her reputation could have been tarnished. Especially since she had a previous marriage where they had no children together. Suddenly having such a big chill appear would raise suspicions.
However, looking at the child, Sylvas felt moved. When she married Cyril, she had hoped for the chance to have their own children, but it never happened. Sylvia’s lips curled into a bitter smile, but she quickly hid it. However, Bruce, sitting beside her, naturally noticed Sylvia’s demeanor and sensed something amiss. “Thank you for your help in F country. 1 was planning to move my company here, so I prepared this banquet specifically to thank you. And this gentleman beside you is..
They looked quite alike, so Miles didn’t jump to conclusions. They might be relatives
Sylvia chuckled. “He’s my brother”
Miles suddenly realized. “I’ve heard there’s a very capable CEO in the ban Group. I didn’t expect there was also a daughter.”
Bruce was the face of the Ivan Group, the supposed son, but in reality, the van Group had four children. However, it wasn’t crucial; as long as there was someone managing t company, the rest didn’t matter much.
“I heard my sister saved someone in country recently. I didn’t expect it was you. It seems fate brought us together. Let’s have dinner together sometime.”
Bruce smiled and conversed with Miles. It seemed they knew each other, and their relationship seemed quite familiar for a while
Curiously, Sylvia looked at the two of them, wondering when her brother had met Miles. She planned to ask later
As Miles had other people to greet, he spoke with Sylvia and Bruce for a while before buying himself with others. At that moment, Cyril and Jonathan approached
the
Cyril looked at Sylvia with a complicated expression. When he saw the child beside her, he felt angry, thinking Sylvia had betrayed their relationship. However, when it turned out to be a misunderstanding, his anger dissipated, feeling it was unreasonable
Didn’t he know better than anyone? Sylvia couldn’t possibly conceal anything from others, especially in recent years.
After Cyrd and Jonathan approached, Sylvia’s side faded a bit, carrying a hint of distance,
was even less welcoming. He didn’t like seeing the two of them together, with Cyrill putting his arm around Sylvia as if they were about to leave.
“You seem to like children, don’t you?”
dary prepand to leave, Cycll’s sudden remark stunned everyone, especially Jonathan, who widened his eyes in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? Was he serious?
