NovelOnlineChapter 214 They were very polite and very eager to meet the artists. Sylvia and Christopher were as
receptive as they could be. After some time passed, the crowd finally dispersed. That was when a
familiar figure emerged from the departing crowd and appeared before Sylvia. Sylvia was taken aback.
It was Tristan in a slightly oversized white shirt. He wore a gentle smile and looked charming as usual.
“It‘s been a while, Sylvia.”
Sylvia smiled politely. “It sure has.” He asked, “How have you been?” “Pretty good,” she answered. He
made a look and suddenly said, “I need to tell you something.” “Go ahead.” He cast a look at Simon
who was next to Sylvia. Simon received the message and stepped away without needing further
prompts. Then, Tristan began telling Sylvia, “My parents have spoken to your parents. My engagement
to Sonia has been called off.” She answered with an unflinching expression, “That‘s your private affair.
You don‘t need to tell me.”

His expression darkened, but he continued to wear the same smile on his face. “I know, I just wanted
you to know that Sonia probably won‘t be causing trouble for you because of me anymore and that I‘m
sorry for what happened.” She had a wavering look and answered, “It‘s alright. It‘s all in the past now.”
“Do you think we could still be friends moving forward?” He looked at her with an expectant gaze.
Sylvia frowned subtly.
That was when there was a sudden commotion at the entrance of the venue.
Someone in the crowd cried out, “It‘s Master Carter and Ms. Tara!”
The crowd immediately flocked towards that direction and soon opened up a path.
Soon, Sylvia saw Odell and Tara zipping through the crowd.
Odell was wearing a fitted black suit that complimented his stately figure. As soon as he stepped in, he
drained the air out of the venue with his sheer presence.
Bu
Tara was wearing a luxurious, fine dress, and she hugged Odell‘s arm tenderly with a satisfied smile
that hung on her lips. The spot where Sylvia and Tristan stood was less crowded, to begin with, and
now that everyone had gone to the entrance, it became entirely vacant. When Odell and Tara
approached, they immediately caught sight of them. Tristan flashed a polite smile while Sylvia
pretended not to see them and turned to get something to eat. Christopher and the others came to
know of the nature of the relationship between Sylvia, Odell, and Tara back when they were in
Glanchester City. Knowing that nearly all the members of the Art Association were present tonight,
Sylvia did not want to make a fool of herself publicly.
Odell‘s face became twisted the moment he saw her walking away. He shot a hostile look at Tristan

When Tara noticed them, a look appeared in her eyes and she turned to Odell to whisper,“ Odell, I think
that‘s Sylvia and Tristan. They seem to be getting along pretty well.” Odell frowned and looked at her
sharply. “They‘re standing more than a meter apart. Where are you getting that impression from?” Tara
averted the gaze in her eyes and quickly added, “I noticed Tristan smiling quite happily. Looks to me
that they‘re quite happy together.” Smiling happily? How was it that he noticed no such thing? He
glanced at Sylvia and Tristan again. The crowd followed them like a lapdog and cut off his view. He
could faintly see Tristan facing Sylvia, still more than a meter away from her, but he could not see the
expression he wore or make out what he was saying: Had this man not given up on Sylvia yet? He
grimaced with an unpleasant scowl. Tara saw the look on his face and asked anxiously, “Odell, what‘s
the matter?” Odell sheathed the hostile look in his eyes and answered, “It‘s nothing.” He stopped
looking at the pair and sat on a chair. Something gleamed in Tara‘s eyes, then she sat beside him.
Meanwhile, Tristan, who still had not received an answer from Sylvia, told her, “You don‘t have to
trouble yourself over how to answer me. I understand now.” Sylvia turned to him. He curled his lips into
a soft, gentle smile, the same smile he always wore.
