Sylvia looked at Jimmy without saying a word, making Jimmy feel a little guilty.
This kid called her sister one moment and auntie the next. Anyway, Sylvia wasn’t too concerned about the parent–teacher conference, but she knew she couldn’t just take Jimmy away like that.
“It’s not going to work. Your dad is going to attend the parent–teacher conference for you, so of course, you have to stay here. Plus, I have other things to do and can’t take you with me. If something happens on the way, I can’t just tape you up.”
“No, it won’t. I can have my dad write you a guarantee. If anything happens to me on the way, it’s my own problem, nothing to do with you, sister. Please take me with you. I really don’t want to stay here alone.”
Jimmy resorted to using the “pouting” tactic, but it didn’t work on Sylvia because she used the same tactic on her brothers when she was younger.
Sylvia smiled at Miles, gesturing with her eyes for him to handle the situation. After all, seeing how his son clung to her, shouldn’t he, as a father, have something to say? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Miles actually thought about it seriously for a moment, then took out his phone. Just when Sylvia thought the matter was about to be resolved, she suddenly heard Miles say into the phone, “Come to the school, attend the parent–teacher conference for my son. I have something to attend to.”
Sylvia was stunned to hear this. What else did Miles have to attend to? And shouldn’t he be attending the parent–teacher conference himself? Why delegate it to someone else? This didn’t seem quite right.
“Why that expression? Do you think there’s something wrong with what I said?”
After hanging up the phone, Miles looked at Sylvia with a amused expression.
Sylvia looked at Miles seriously and said, “I don’t think it’s appropriate to delegate your own matters to subordinates, especially when it involves your son. How can you not attend the parent–teacher conference yourself? And it seems you don’t have anything particularly important to do today. Besides, I have other things to do.”
Sylvia subconsciously didn’t want to be with the two of them, because she had a feeling that if she got more involved with them, things might spiral out of control beyond her expectations. Sylvia didn’t want that to happen.
Miles chuckled when he heard Sylvia’s words. “I made an appointment with your assistant today. He said you were resting and not accepting any appointments. So most likely, you’re going shopping today.”
Miles gestured at Sylvia’s casual outfit today. Sylvia’s clothes today were very casual, indicating that she wasn’t going to do anything very important, which was why he had said that just now.
Sylvia sighed. Dealing with smart people was quite helpless because they were too smart. Some things you didn’t need to say, they would understand the meaning behind them. Sylvia felt quite helpless.
“Okay, but do you really not need to attend the parent–teacher conference? After all, he’s a new student, and maybe the teacher would like to get to know him better. You never
know.”
Although Sylvia had never raised a child, she knew very well that taking care of a child was not an easy task. So she took the initiative to ask Cyril if he really needed to attend the parent–teacher
conference, so as not to delay his time because of her.
Miles shook his head. “No need. This school is funded by me. If there’s anything, the teacher will inform me in time. That’s why this kid doesn’t want to come.”
Sylvia understood. Going to school in one’s own school, big or small matters, one’s own father would be informed. Anyone wouldn’t like that. It’s no wonder Jimmy showed such a rejection today. This matter, no matter who it was, would probably be rejected.
Sylvia smiled and suddenly her eyes flashed with something.
Sylvia’s mind went blank for a moment, and suddenly she knew what had just happened.
Miles was also flashed by something, but he didn’t think much of it, just feeling a little uncomfortable.
“It’s late now. If nothing unexpected happens, tomorrow’s headline will probably be the exposure of our relationship, or that we have been together for a long time, and today we came together to accompany the child for enrollment.”
Sylvia knew too well how these unscrupulous media outlets would say and write, so she felt a headache. She was considering whether to ask her elder brother to suppress this news, but if she suppressed it, similar things would probably happen in the future. But if she didn’t suppress it, it would be a nominal harm to herself.
Miles had never experienced such a thing before, so when he heard Sylvia say this, he was quite surprised. Obviously, he hadn’t expected it to be like this.
“It seems I’ve caused you trouble today. But if they really publish it, I don’t think it’s entirely wrong.”
Miles looked at Sylvía seriously. Sylvia had just divorced Cyril, and her previous marriage had brought her nothing but unhappiness.
Now Sylvia’s mind was only thinking about how to make the company make money as soon as possible, to soar in her career, and she had no intention of getting married again. Miles understood this. Although Cyril and Sylvia’s affairs, he could easily know the whole process of the matter, but a failed marriage did not mean that the next marriage would
also fail.
“It’s okay. I know telling you this might make you feel troubled, but the reason I said it was to let you see my determination.”
