After Divorce She Becomes the Billionaire Heiress (Sylvia and Cyril)

Chapter 237: Undercurrents

The hospital was just an excuse. In reality, he didn't want to go to a place like that with Duncan to eat. He felt that their relationship wasn't suitable for dining out in public.

Duncan was just testing the waters, and seeing that the female lead wasn't interested, he dropped it. So he suggested another restaurant, which was quite nice. This time, the female lead didn't refuse the idea of going to the restaurant with him.

As they stepped into the restaurant, they saw Miles and his son walking in as well. It seemed like they also planned to dine there today.

Just when they finally got rid of one rival, another one popped up. Duncan's first thought was to quickly leave and find another restaurant, but it was already too late.

Miles' son, Jimmy, was excited to see the female lead. He ran over to greet her, and she seemed to like him too, with a particularly gentle smile on her face.

"Auntie, our luck is so good! I was just telling Dad that I wanted to eat here today. Dad said it might be crowded, but we unexpectedly ran into you. Shall we eat together?"

Though Jimmy was young, he could see through the complicated dynamics between adults, especially the person beside the female lead, who clearly liked her. So he wanted to help his dad.

Miles didn't say anything, just lightly patted Jimmy's head, seemingly reproaching him, but in reality, he didn't say anything and tacitly agreed with what Jimmy said.

The female lead felt a bit awkward. She had only come to eat with Duncan, and now suddenly Miles and his son appeared. She instinctively wanted to refuse.

Because she had a feeling that if they all sat together, the meal would be particularly awkward today. So, for the sake of everyone, it was better not to eat together.

"Today won't work. I'm treating someone to dinner, so let's reschedule and eat together another time, just the two of us. How about that?" Although she couldn't successfully eat with the female lead, she did manage to get her to agree to another time.

Feeling a bit happier, he nodded and glanced at Duncan discreetly, noticing that Duncan's expression wasn't too good. But his own dad looked fine, wearing a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes.

"Alright then."

Jimmy obediently nodded. His docility delighted the female lead. She liked such a sensible child. If it weren't for Duncan's presence, she would have been willing to eat with them. After all, she really liked Jimmy, who was indeed very sensible.

Once they found their respective

seats and sat down, Jimmy kept running over to the female lead, constantly fetching things for her f there was water or anything else on their table, he would bring it over to her It was really too much, almost as if his behavior was more childish than that of an actual child.

To the female lead's surprise, Miles didn't show any displeasure at all. Instead, he looked very happy watching Jimmy running around.

"Now that it's dinner time and the place is crowded, shouldn't Mr. Miles stop his son from running around so freely? What if he bumps into someone? We might be acquainted, but others might not be so understanding."

As soon as he spoke, there was a palpable sense of oppression. The female lead subconsciously frowned, but before she could say anything, Miles spoke up.

"I understand, but it doesn't seem

that crowded today, and the child just wants to get closer to someone he likes. don't think we need to make a big deal out of it. And, I believe the female lead doesn't seem to mind. If you think disturbing your meal, I apologize. I'll ask him to come back." Content

With just a few words, he successfully silenced Duncan. If he didn't come out, he would stare at Miles with a gloomy expression, while Miles wore a shallow smile.

Undercurrents flowed between the two men. Jimmy, however, was completely unaware of the strange atmosphere between the adults, simply speaking according to his own thoughts. After he finished speaking, the female lead could clearly feel that the atmosphere became even more strange.

Duncan looked at the female lead with a resentful expression, and she didn't know what to say. They had eaten together last time because of the circumstances, but it wasn't the same now. Besides, she had promised to eat with Duncan, so how could she suddenly go eat with someone else? "I have a meeting this afternoon, so I'll leave after eating."

The female lead couldn't take it anymore. It seemed like they were deliberately making her uncomfortable, so she took the initiative to suggest leaving.This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Duncan felt that something was off and immediately followed, but he was a moment too slow. The female lead had already paid.
