Chapter 305: Fragile Feelings
Sylvia was indeed very smart; she quickly understood what was going on. Miles had been clear from the start—his reason for coming here today was to help Sylvia with her problems. So, when Sylvia mentioned the issue, Miles didn't find it strange at all.
"You're right. Your brothers did inquire about some benefits, like cooperation between our families, which is a very good thing. So, I agreed to cooperate with your brothers. But don't worry, I'm a person of principle. Even if we cooperate, I don't want to offend any of you. I know you're the heir apparent, so it's best to make things clear with you. Also, there are some things you might not have taken seriously, but I'm serious when I say I want to pursue you."
Once again hearing Miles talk about pursuing her, Sylvia felt like she was dreaming. She smiled and shook her head, not taking Miles' words seriously because there were too many people in her life wanting to pursue her.
From the beginning, their meeting and interaction had been purposeful. Now, Miles talking about knowing her feelings made Sylvia feel like Miles was calculating again.
"I hope you won't bring up these things with me again. You know, no matter how many times you say it, I won't believe you want to pursue me. Besides, in my opinion, feelings are extremely fragile. They can be intense and passionate one day and disappear without a trace the next. No matter how many years of feelings, they always end up like this every day. So, I don't believe in feelings anymore."
After a period of unhappy relationships, Sylvia dared not hope for the benefits that feelings might bring. She told Miles earnestly that even if he spoke sincerely, it was still a man-woman matter. If Cyril hadn't been careless before, leading to everything now, he wouldn't be having such a headache pursuing Sylvia.
"I'm sincerely telling you about this. I truly want to pursue you. I'm not joking. Whether you agree or not, believe it or not, I'll show you my sincerity. And you say feelings are fragile, but I don't think so. I don't think feelings are the most important thing now."
If feelings were really that fragile, Miles wouldn't like Sylvia, nor would he treat her daughter as his own. Despite experiencing a very bad relationship before, Miles still had trust and expectations for future relationships. And this trust and expectation were only because of Sylvia.
"I know you probably don't believe what I'm saying now. You don't have to rush to reject me. I'm telling you these things now just to let you see my sincere attitude. As long as you're willing to believe and give me a chance, I'll make you see everything clearly."
Sylvia remained silent. She neither said she believed nor disbelieved. Her attitude was clear; she simply didn't believe in sincere feelings. Seeing Sylvia's silence, Miles understood that Sylvia wouldn't believe him no matter what he said.
"Never mind, let's not talk about it.
You'll see what I'll do later. So, do I have the honor of inviting you to dinner tonight? This time, I don't think we'll run into Cyril again. After all, every time I tried to meet you before, something unexpected happened. But this time, it
shouldn't."
Miles knew that Cyril was currently in the hospital and wouldn't be causing any trouble. So, this time, dinner with Sylvia shouldn't have any headaches or troubles.
Why did Miles feel it was feasible?
Since Miles had already said so, Sylvia didn't refuse. With a helpless smile, she nodded, then left with Miles.
As they sat down for dinner, Miles
magically produced a large bouquet of roses and handed it to Sylvia. Sylvia felt a bit embarrassed because Cyril had also sent her roses before. Subconsciously, she refused them, so the employees knew she didn't need the roses. So, they would help him get rid of them without hesitation. How could they know that Miles had been sending flowers to her so earnestly all this time? This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
"Do you know? Sometimes, the things you do need to be made known to the other person. If you don't know, many things will become self-indulgent."
Sylvia looked at Miles seriously as
he spoke. Although she didn't know if Miles pursuing her was true or false, there were some things she needed to make clear to him. For example, if Miles wanted to pursue others in the future, he needed to know that some things didn't end just because they were done; they needed to be done and said to make others believe.
After hearing Sylvia's words, Miles smiled. He hadn't said it before because he felt the timing wasn't right. Now, since Sylvia brought it up, it meant the time had come.
He looked at Sylvia with a smile that didn't quite reach his eyes and remained silent. Sylvia suddenly understood Miles' intentions and felt a little annoyed.
