GoodReadChapter 374
Unfortunately, there were only four seats on the bamboo raft. Aunt Tonya immediately said, “I’ll get
seasick, so I won’t join the ride. You guys can go on.” Sylvia knew that Aunt Tonya was trying to give up
her seat, so she put her life jacket on Aunt Tonya. “Aunt Tonya, this is a bamboo raft, so you won’t get
seasick. Grandmother and you can ride with the children. I’ll wait here for you.” Aunt Tonya could not
persuade her otherwise, so she helped Madam Carter onto the raft. Sylvia said to the little ones, “Have
fun, but pay attention to your safety. Mommy will wait for you here.” “Okay. We know, Mommy,” Isabel
responded crisply. Liam also hummed and then led his sister to sit on the two seats in front of Madam
Carter and Aunt Tonya.
The long bamboo raft soon drifted away from the shore under the guidance of the boatman, rowing
toward the other side in the direction of the flowing water.

lake was nice, but the panorama in the distance was also very beautiful.
Sylvia’s eyes zeroed in on the small hill to the side. The view from the top of the hill must be amazing
Madam Carter, Aunt Tonya, and the little ones would probably take a while to come back, so she
decided to walk up the hill.
Not far away, hiding behind two trees for a long time, Melanie finally saw hope. “That little b*tch is
finally alone.’
She squatted there for a while. After seeing Sylvia go up without the intention of coming down for the
time being, she went to look for Edmund. Just as she was wondering how she would find Edmund, she
saw him smoking alone by the lake.
Melanie did not hesitate and immediately went up to him. “Young man, I just saw a beautiful girl with
long hair and wearing a light red dress go up the mountain. I heard that it’s quite dangerous there, but
I’m too old to climb up. Can you go up and call her down?”
She pretended to look anxious,
Edmund’s expression changed upon hearing her words. “What did you say she was wearing?”
She replied, “A light red dress. She seemed to be wearing a shawl too.” Odell instantly dropped his
cigarette and went up the hill.
A beautiful girl with long hair and a light red dress. It’s clearly Sylvia. Why did she go up the hill alone?’
Edmund did not think much about it and quickly climbed up.
After he left, Melanie took out her phone and sneakily followed him up. As long as she could take a
picture of Sylvia and him alone, she would have succeeded!
At that moment, the raft stopped at the shore after one lap.
Unfortunately, Madam Carter was too seasick and could not continue to ride on the raft.
Aunt Tonya wanted to help her down, but Madam Carter waved her hand and said, “I’m fine. I’ll go find
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSyl. You stay with Isabel and Liam.”
There was still another fun place down the river, but the children had to be accompanied by an adult.
Aunt Tonya had no choice but to agree. “You should call Syl then.”
“I know.” Madam Carter went back to the shore with the help of the boatman. The boatman jumped
back on the raft, and in the blink of an eye, the raft drifted out into the river again.
Madam Carter called Sylvia.
On the hill to the side, Sylvia stood at the highest point and looked out at the nearby scenery. Her
phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was from Madam Carter, she quickly answered the call and
learned what had happened. “Grandmother? I’m on the hill right next to you. Sit down and rest for a
while. I’ll come to you now.”
The phone was quickly hung up. Sylvia did not stay any longer and turned around to walk in the
direction she came up from. After taking a few steps, Edmund appeared in front of her, appearing a
little anxious. When he saw her, he asked, “Lil Syl, what are you doing here alone?”
