Sylvia continued to purse her lips as she stayed silent.
Thomas suddenly laughed out loud, the sound of his laughter was soft but full of satisfaction.
Immediately after that, he pulled Sylvia into his arms. He did it very gently, as if Sylvia was a precious
vase that was extremely fragile. Sylvia was not used to being in such close contact with him and
instinctively felt the urge to push him away. However, the moment she touched him she could feel the
abnormal heat emanating from his body.
He was still feverish.
Frowning, she drew her hand back. After allowing him to hold her for a while, she insisted again,
“Thomas, it’s time for you to rest.”
“Alright.” He promptly drew away upon hearing this, then he stroked her head gently and spoke softly,
“I’ll go to sleep now. You should head back to your room to rest as well.”
“Hmm,” Sylvia answered and walked out.
As she stepped outside, she turned to close the door and stole a glance at him while doing so.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe had already returned to the bed and was looking at her softly.
Sylvia pursed her lips at him, then closed the door.
The room fell silent.
Thomas leaned back against the head of the bed and continued to stare absent-mindedly in the
direction of where Sylvia had been. He smiled. Meanwhile, inside his bathroom , the shower head had
not been shut properly the entire time. Thus, a small stream of water slowly continued to flow out of it
and onto the floor. The slow, steady current of water flowed into the drain and then into the pipes.
The temperature inside the bathroom was still as cool as it was before. The current of water remained
uninterrupted and kept the temperature inside constant, without any heat.
Probably because she had slept late the night before, Sylvia ended up waking up an hour later than
usual the next day.
Neither Isabel nor Liam were in their room.
Sylvia quickly washed up and went to the living room.
She had only taken several steps out of her bedroom when she heard laughter coming from
downstairs.
She could also smell the distinctive aroma of her favorite street food.
It smelled like the breakfast that she usually bought from the roadside stalls that she loved eating.
Her mouth watered at the thought and Sylvia quickened her pace as she made her way to the living
room.
Isabel was playing with a remote control race car. When she noticed Sylvia coming down, she
immediately cried out joyously, “Mom! Uncle bought a lot of delicious food for us and even got us a
brand new latest model race car!”
Sylvia froze and looked across the living room.
Sitting on the couch next to the floor-to-ceiling windows was a man in a loose gray sweater. He was
sitting there in a princely, dignified manner. Holding a book in his hand, he subtly turned his head to
look at Sylvia when he heard Isabel’s enthusiastic shouts and his lips curved into a faint smile.
The morning light shone through the window illuminated his fair-complexioned face. His smile seemed
luminescent as well.
Sylvia froze for a moment before asking him suspiciously, “Thomas, did you go out?”
Thomas answered, “I went out earlier this morning to run some errands, then I bought these on the way
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmback.”
There was a wavering look in Sylvia’s eyes as she remembered how ill he had been the previous night.
She drew closer and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Thomas put his book down, got up, and walked over to her.
They closed the gap between each other very quickly and got closer than they usually did. If they were
to take just half a step more, they would practically be stuck together.
Sylvia’s breath stalled and she tried to draw herself backward.
However, he was faster than her. He touched her head with his hand and greeted her in a pleasant
voice, “I’m feeling much better. Let’s have something to eat.”
Sylvia felt her cheeks burn when she remembered their conversation the night before about his
intention to pursue her. She merely murmured, “Ok.”
She walked with him to the table.
Aunt Tonya, Isabel, and Liam had already had breakfast.
At the moment, Aunt Tonya was busy outside. Liam was sitting next to Isabel as he read a book, while
Isabel was having the time of her life playing with her new race car.
Thus, it was just Sylvia and Thomas at the table.
Upon sitting down, Thomas pushed several dishes over to Sylvia.
