Chapter 225 Fireworks
After hanging up, Juliet fell silent, leaving Sylvia in a moment of awkward silence. She didn't know what to say about her brother's situation. It felt awkward to talk about it, yet she didn't know what to do.
"Is everything okay with your brother? Do you need me to come help?"
Miles could hear some commotion on the other end of the phone, indicating something had happened with Bruce, but he wasn't sure what. However, Miles knew one thing for sure: if you wanted to know about someone, you had to start with the people around them.
You needed the approval of those close to them first, then build relationships with others. And the next step would definitely involve the girl's relatives and friends.
Clearly, Bruce was in trouble now. If Miles could help him this time, Bruce would surely return the favor.
Miles' idea was good, but Sylvia didn't agree. She knew this was a matter between Bruce and Juliet. Outsiders like them shouldn't interfere.
"No, it's fine. There's nothing too troublesome. They can handle it themselves. They both just have impatient personalities. Once they calm down, they'll sort it out. You should probably go back to be with your son now. I won't bother you anymore. I have some other things to take care of."
Sylvia shook her head. She felt a bit uneasy but knew it was a matter between Bruce and Juliet. As his sister and friend, she couldn't say much more. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
As Sylvia prepared to leave, Miles was the first to refuse. He didn't want their time together to dwindle. Without substantial progress, what special relationship could they have? Miles didn't want Sylvia to leave like this. He didn't want to give up this rare opportunity.
"I know you're probably upset with me because of what happened with Cyril today, but it's not entirely my fault. I hope we can talk things out. What do you think?"
Miles looked at Sylvia earnestly. If it wasn't too far removed from himself, they could still chat.
Sylvia hesitated. It wasn't entirely fair to blame Miles for Cyril's actions, but she couldn't help feeling reluctant. Remembering the grievances she had suffered because of Cyril, she couldn't help but feel a bit unwilling.
"I don't think it's necessary."
Sylvia refused Miles without hesitation. Seeing her reaction, Miles didn't know what else to say. But then, he took out two tickets from his bag and handed them to Sylvia.
"Since that's how you feel, then take these tickets. I was planning to invite you to watch a fireworks show together. But seeing how you're rejecting me now, I think I'll step back. Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair to me, right? You can go watch the fireworks with your friends. I heard it's beautiful."
Miles had prepared these tickets specifically, but to avoid seeming too deliberate, he had made it into a larger event and sold tickets externally. These two tickets were for internal use, meant to invite Sylvia. But now, plans had to change.
Sylvia suddenly felt guilty. Even though this had nothing to do with Miles, she couldn't shake off the feeling. Now that it had come to this, what else could she say? So, she took the tickets and left.
Before leaving, she took a photo of the tickets and sent it to Juliet, asking if she'd like to join her. This was supposed to be a time for them to relax.
Already annoyed by Bruce's behavior, Juliet quickly agreed.
That evening, they arrived at the central square where the fireworks were set to begin. Many people had gathered, marveling at the display. Sylvia and Juliet were among them, standing in the crowd, admiring the beautiful fireworks in the sky. They could tell a lot of effort had been put into organizing this event.
"Thanks to you, I get to see this beautiful fireworks show. Shouldn't I thank you properly? Besides thanking you, I should thank Miles too. I heard he prepared this fireworks show specifically for someone. Why didn't he come with you? Why did he call me instead? Don't tell me it's to help me relax. I don't need that. I just wanted to accompany you."
