Chapter 171 Dinner Invitation
Two men gathered together, discussing some business matters, but there wasn’t much else to talk about. Especially now, Bruce had strong opinions about Miles, believing that it was Miles‘ influence that had led his sister to entertain certain thoughts.
So, Bruce’s attitude towards Miles wasn’t particularly friendly. Miles could sense Bruce’s frustration, but he hadn’t found the right opportunity to inquire about Sylvia’s situation.
Sylvia, feeling guilty, had casually mentioned something last time, and Brace had remembered it, which surprised her. So, she tried her best to avoid meeting Miles‘ gaze, fearing what might transpire.
These matters between adults were incomprehensible to youngmy. However, he noticed his father always casting glances at his beautiful sister.
It seemed his approach was correct; his father indeed favored his beautiful sister. Would this beautiful sister become his mother, then?
“Beautiful sister, why does my dad always stare at you? Are you two going to get married?”
They say childhood is carefree, but at this moment, Syhda felt otherwise. She could feel Bruce’s gaze sharpen instantly. If it weren’t for the fact that Jimmy was just a child, Bruce might have reacted differently.
Sylvia was curious about Jimmy’s words. They hadn’t own Miles for long, and she wasn’t even sure about his personality, let alone marriage.
So, Sylvia smiled and asked, “Why would you say that? Your father and I aren’t that close. If he were to marry, he’d choose someone he truly likes.”
ys stare at her?
Jimmy was even more puzzled. Wasn’t his father’s favorite person the beautiful sister next to him? It didn’t make sense, otherwise, why would his father always
But.
Before Jimmy could say more, Miles intervened. If Jimmy kept going, he might upset Sylvia. After all, others might not understand, but Miles knew how much Sylvia was cherished at home.
“Jimmy, it’s not polite to speak like that. You might cause trouble for your beautiful sister.”
it wouldn’t only cause trouble for Syhda but also for himself. When would his son learn to keep quiet and not utter such nonsense?
Jimmy blinked, not fully understanding his father’s words. However, he noticed the discomfort of the man beside his father, Sylvia’s brother, and refrained from further speech.
“Well then, let’s not dwell on it. Let’s go horseback riding together. It’s boring watching them play golf here. There’s a horse ranch nearby. Shall we go?” Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Jimmy had learned horseback riding since he was young. Watching golf was indeed dull for him. Miles hesitated, worried about Jimmy’s safety, but seeing Sylvia’s excitement, he agreed.
As they left, Bruce dropped his pretense. He spoke frankly, “Though I’m not sure how you managed to influence my sister, let me tell you, bullying her is out of the question. Our family won’t allow it”
“Ithink you’ve misunderstood. I’ve never had any intention of mistreating her. Moreover, I’ve only known Sylvia for a short while ”
Miles wanted to convey that forming feelings for someone in such a short time was difficult, and he wasn’t one to believe in love at first sight. Bruce seemed to have misunderstood this point.
Bruce thought Miles didn’t appreciate his sister, which angered him more than if Miles had liked her. What was wrong with his sister that Miles didn’t like her?
“My sister is wonderful. If you don’t like her, it’s your loss. I don’t understand what you’re thinking. My sister is so good, yet you don’t like her. What’s the difference between you and Cyril?”
Miles felt there was a misunderstanding but explaining it to this brother fixated on his sister proved challenging. So, he chose silence, sometimes, saying nothing was better than saying anything wrong.
“Do you have time tonight? I’d like to invite you all to dinner.”
Miles proposed this, considering their families business interactions and his interest in collaborating with the One–Sall Group. However, Bruce’s thoughts strayed again.
“Are you eyeing my sister? Let me tell you, my sister is an exceptional person. If you want to marry her, you’ll have to pass our scrutiny. I won’t let my sister marry as casually as
The more he spoke, the more sadness he revealed. If they hadn’t neglected their sister, none of this would have happened.
