Chapter 1325
Shermaine scoffed. “Hmph. You say it as though you know him really well. If you really know him that well, why
would he have fired you from the company back then, and why are you still staying abroad even now?”
If she had not taken the initiative to approach him, Sylvia would not have bumped into them having intimate
contact. It would not have aroused his urge to protect her and scold Sylvia either.
Despite Ruth’s constant reminders, which started to get annoying, Shermaine obtained her funding and aid to
escape poverty and acquire her current position. Therefore, she was in no position to talk back.
With pursed lips, she replied, “I understand, Aunt Ruth. I’ll be careful.”
It was a sleepless night for Sylvia.
When the sky started to turn bright, she got up. She washed up, changed into some fresh new clothes, and went to

The three of them were still in dreamland. They looked extra adorable when they were sleeping. She kissed each of
them on the cheeks before she headed down to the
living room.
Aunt Tonya and Sebastian were already up. The two of them looked at her when she came down.
“Syl, you look sick. Are you okay?” Aunt Tonya went up to her with furrowed brows. “Tell me what happened.”
“I’m fine. It’s just a little argument with Odell.” Sylvia curled her lips nonchalantly. “Aunt Tonya, I have a lot of things
to do at the academy, so I’m leaving now.”
She had no class today, but after an irritated sleepless night, she wanted to go out for some air. Before Aunt Tonya
could dissuade her, she already left.
It was chilly outside, and fallen leaves had scattered. across the porch. Sylvia felt refreshed.
She wandered along the road aimlessly for a while. Finally, she stopped by some random stall and got some
breakfast before continuing her aimless walk.
Ding!
Her phone suddenly received two notifications.
‘Is it Odell?‘
Sylvia’s gaze shifted. She pulled her phone out immediately, but the texts were from the teachers of the academy.
She was disheartened. Just when she wanted to pocket her phone, she saw that Christopher had sent a message
intended for the whole group.
“To the teachers who have registered for tomorrow’s sketching trip at Meadow Hills, please be prepared. We are
leaving today after lunch.”
Sylvia’s eyes flickered.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAbout two weeks earlier, Christopher had assembled a group for a sketching trip at Meadow Hills and had invited
her to join them, but unfortunately, she rejected him due to her kids and grandmother.
Meadow Hills was located in the northern part of the city, where it was coldest, but it had the best scenery.
A quick thought later, Sylvia texted Christopher. “Mr. President, can I still join the sketching trip at Meadow Hills?”
Rather than waiting for the man to come home, she might as well use the chance for a short getaway. If he had
really fallen for Shermaine, there was nothing that she could do to change his mind anyway. If this condition
continued, it might devour her sanity and drive her insane. It was a good idea for her to leave the house for while.
Christopher replied, “Yeah, of course. Do you want to join us? I have a teacher who stood me up due to personal
reasons, so you can fill her spot.”
Sylvia smiled. “Yeah, count me in. What do I need to prepare?”
“Bring some clothes and your personal stuff. We’ll be there for about two weeks.”
“Noted.”
Sylvia went to the local supermarket to buy some clothes and daily necessities. She then arrived at the academy
around noon.
