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

Chapter 306: Discomfort

It turned out that I used to think Miles was a simple person, not someone who would scheme against others. Now it seems I was thinking too much. Miles is also a businessman, a sly old fox. How could he not have any ulterior motives?

"So, this matter was also within your calculations. When to tell me the truth, when not to, it's all under your control. But I have to admit, your explanation now does make sense. If you had told me before, I definitely wouldn't have believed you. But now, hearing it from you, I might think you're genuine. However, your approach still upsets me."

Miles shrugged. Of course, he knew Sylvia wouldn't be pleased with what he did. But what could he do? From the very beginning, when he approached Sylvia, it was with a specific purpose in mind. Now, if he were to tell Sylvia that everything he did was for her, she wouldn't believe it.

Not only would she not believe it, she might even think he did everything intentionally. So, he could only wait for Sylvia to discover it on her own. Otherwise, what he did would clearly be seen as having ulterior motives.

Although Miles did have ulterior motives in one thing he did, there was a reason behind it. It was just to let Sylvia gradually feel her doubts about him. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to do so much.

"Let's eat first. Before inviting you to dinner, I contacted your brothers to know what you like and don't like. Take a look at these. If there's something you don't like, we can change it."

This time, Miles had truly made preparations. Both the food and drink were what Sylvia liked. It was evident he was earnestly preparing for each of their meetings. After Sylvia chuckled, she didn't refuse.

The atmosphere during their dinner this time was much better than before, probably because there were no interruptions.

After dinner, Sylvia suggested leaving. Miles didn't refuse since he knew Sylvia was busy with work. He drove Sylvia back to the company building. He had asked Sylvia earlier, and she mentioned there was an international meeting at the company.

When they said goodbye, Miles suddenly held Sylvia's hand.

"What's wrong?"

Sylvia turned back, puzzled, wondering why Miles suddenly grabbed her hand. She looked at Miles, confused. Miles pursed his lips and looked at Sylvia earnestly.

"I just wanted to tell you, no matter how much Cyril hurt you before, I'm willing to help you heal those wounds bit by bit. I know you're unhappy with relationships right now, but I believe one day you'll believe in my sincerity. I've said this to you before, but you didn't believe me. Now I think the timing is right, so I want to say it again. Whether you believe it or not, I want to express it to you."

Sylvia was stunned, looking into Miles' serious eyes. She didn't know what to say for a moment. She nodded randomly and hurried back to her somewhat messy office. Miles' words had a significant impact on her.

After seeing Sylvia run off, Miles couldn't help but smile and shake his head. Sometimes, Sylvia was quite adorable. After taking a deep breath, he got into his car. As soon as he sat down, Jimmy called, asking why he hadn't returned yet.

"I just had dinner with Sylvia as you've been suggesting. Now that I've spent time with her, you're calling me nonstop. Do you want me to spend time with Sylvia or not?"

This questioning stunned Jimmy.

"Before, when I suggested you spend more time with Sylvia, you ignored me and said it's none of a kid's business. Now you say you met Sylvia, so of course, I'm skeptical about the truth of your words. But are you really meeting Sylvia? Did she mention me? I miss her."

Jimmy asked with some anticipation. As a father, he shouldn't disappoint his son, but clearly, Miles wasn't a good father in this regard.

"Unfortunately, since our meeting

started, I've been talking about my own affairs to her, without mentioning you at all. I don't think she thought about you when she left just now. But I can guarantee that in the future, she will rememberme. Moreover, we'll have more chances to meet. As for making Sylvia think about you, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

After saying this, Miles hung up the phone. He still had about half an hour to go home. In this half-hour, it

would be enough to make Jimmy

feel anxious. Jimmy would definitely try various ways to contact Sylvia, but not knowing how to reach her, he would end up feeling conflicted and uncomfortable, just as Miles intended.

Jimmy had no idea what his old father was holding back. He did want to contact Sylvia, but he was afraid that contacting her now would disturb her. So, he was conflicted: Eventually, after struggling for a while, he decided to call Sylvia. But

Sylvia was in a meeting at the time and didn't pick up.

It could be said that this proactive move made Jimmy not dare to act again.

But as Miles said, after this meeting, Sylvia would always remember Miles. In fact, for several days afterward, she kept pondering over what Miles had said. Even in some public situations when she met Miles, she felt uncomfortable but couldn't pinpoint why.

"What's wrong with you? During today's meeting, I saw you glancing at Miles several times, wanting to say something but hesitating. Did he do something to upset you?"

Balk, walking beside Sylvia, noticed Sylvia's reaction and curiously asked.

"Why would you say that? There's nothing between him and me. I just wanted to tell him something, but it seems now isn't the best time."

Sylvia rushed to explain, but the more she tried to explain, the more she wanted to prove something.
