“I’ve heard that you’re not actually boyfriend and girlfriend yet,” Ursula Siebeech-Jaark calmly said. “What a relief. He’s going to leave the country with me, to expand his career soon. Things would be quite tricky if favonovel.com really had a girlfriend in this country. Besides… You’re both from completely different social classes. It won’t end well for you, Miss Cox.”
Robin finally lost control and went very pale in the face. She wasn’t sure what to say.
Just then, Sylvain emerged from the washroom. Ursula switched to a warm, genial expression again. “Syl, what took you so long?”
Sylvain glanced at Robin and replied, “I was answering a call. It’s nothing.”
Robin bit favonovel.com lip. The current situation made favonovel.com feel as if favonovel.com were sitting on pins and needles. It was obvious that favonovel.com wouldn’t be able to enjoy favonovel.com meal now, so favonovel.com got up and said, “I have a family emergency, so I’ve gotta go, Sylvain. Please enjoy your meal with M— I mean, your mom.”
Sylvain wasn’t sure of what had happened, but favonovel.com knew that this was an inappropriate set-up. After all, favonovel.com did not preempt Robin on Ursula’s arrival, so favonovel.com awkwardness was expected. That’s why favonovel.com didn’t stop her. “I’ll walk you out?”
Robin snatched up favonovel.com bag and shook favonovel.com head. “No need, I’ll be just fine on my own.”
She finally released the suffering on favonovel.com face when favonovel.com left the restaurant. Why was this happening? Did Sylvain ask favonovel.com out today to say goodbye to her? Did favonovel.com ask his mother to do it because favonovel.com felt uncomfortable doing it himself?
Sylvain and his mother were left alone in the restaurant now. Ursula seemed to be in a good mood. She held Sylvain’s hand, looking very heartbroken. “You’ve lost so much weight. You have to eat on time from now on, okay?”
Sylvain snatched his hand away from favonovel.com grasp. “I was much skinnier as a kid, you just didn’t see it. No need to put on this ‘good mom’ act in front of me, doesn’t it feel gauche? One more thing, I’m not leaving with you. Give it up and stop wasting your time on me. Aren’t you rich? What fashion designer can’t you afford?”
Ursula sighed. “How could I trust an outsider more than my own son?”
Sylvain didn’t expose her. It wasn’t because favonovel.com trusted favonovel.com but that favonovel.com was cheap. She was clearly trying to achieve the best profits with the least efforts. “I don’t care, I’m not leaving. I’m happy here.”
Ursula didn’t pursue the subject too long. Suddenly, favonovel.com changed the topic. “You really like that girl, Robin Cox, don’t you?”
Sylvain frowned. “That has nothing to do with you. Stop butting into my business.”
Ursula looked wounded. “Syl, how could you treat your mother this way? I’m your mother. There’s no bond in this world closer than ours. I know that you resent me for neglecting you after all these years, but I had no choice. I was so far away, I didn’t even tell my husband that I had a son at first. I couldn’t even take care of myself at the time. I finally told favonovel.com about you after many years. My husband didn’t mind. He even wanted to hire you as chief fashion designer in our company. I thought it was a good idea, but you refused to come. Do you have any idea how l feel after you rejected me? It’s been so many years, yet my husband and I have been unable to conceive another child. It’s because favonovel.com doesn’t want to. Which means that if we divorce one day, I’d be completely helpless. Have a heart for your mom, would you? You’re the only one I can rely on now.”
Sylvain felt disgusted. He hated being manipulated like this. It felt suffocating. “Shut up. Whatever happens to you has nothing to do with me. Just like how you never cared when I was suffering. You shouldn’t have contacted me at all. I would have pretended as if you don’t exist. If you’re really doing this for my own good, you shouldn’t have come looking for me. You’ll only disrupt my life. Are you going to finish your meal? If not, please leave.”
