Sebastian darted a look at Aunt Tonya. “I…”
Aunt Tonya supplied, “Sebastian, Sylvia is right. We need to head back first. Don’t worry about us, we’ll
be fine.”
Sebastian glanced in a particular direction upstairs before giving in. “Okay.” Sylvia said goodbye to him
and walked out with Liam in her arms. Aunt Tonya followed closely with Isabel in her arms. They
crossed the yard and went past the gate in no time.
Meanwhile, in a bedroom upstairs, a tall man was stalking them near the window. He had a deep and
thoughtful look in his eyes as he stared at Sylvia in particular.
The sun cast its gentle rays on her slender back, the warmth of the sun making her seem especially
delicate.
The academy would be having their winter break as well. This Thursday was going to be Sylvia’s last

After getting up in the morning and having breakfast with the kids and Aunt Tonya, she hugged and
kissed the two little guys in turn before informing them, “Liam, Isabel, Mommy is going to go to work
and will be back in the evening. Now, both of you stay home and be good children. Listen to Aunt
Tonya, got it?”
Isabel chirped, “Okay!’ Liam echoed, “Yeah.”
With that, Sylvia left. She drove to the academy, and the first thing she did was prepare for her classes,
just like she always did. After everything was settled, she went to get lunch.
Since Thomas’s office was next to hers, she sent him a text message. “Thomas, are you at the
academy today?” She received a very quick answer. “Yeah.”
She invited him to lunch. “Want to get something to eat?”
Thomas replied, “Sure.”
Sylvia put on her coat and went out.
As soon as she stepped out of her office, out came Thomas from his office as well. He was wearing a
long gray coat, and his figure was tall and stately like a statue. His appearance was dashing as
always.
Sylvia smiled at him and asked, “What would you like to eat today?” Thomas walked next to her and
remarked, “Anything you’d like.” “Alright
Sylvia was in the mood for something on the heavier side today, so they went to a restaurant that
served Thai food. She ordered several spicy dishes for herself and made sure to order
something lighter for Thomas, then she handed the menu back to the waiter. The air conditioning in the
restaurant seemed to be set to a rather high temperature.
After sitting for just a while, Sylvia began to feel hot and sticky with sweat. She took off her coat and put
it aside.
Thomas was feeling hot too, so he did the same and hung his coat on his chair.
Upon looking up, Sylvia’s eyes landed on two sharp edges protruding from slightly below his shoulders,

whenever he leaned forward, one could get a glimpse of the treasures that lay underneath.
Sylvia suddenly felt her temperature rise, as if it was not hot enough already. She averted her gaze.
Thomas did not seem to notice anything peculiar. After their food arrived, he made sure to move the
spicy dishes to Sylvia’s end of the table All of a sudden, Sylvia gave a few dry coughs. Thomas looked
at her with a queer gaze. “What’s wrong?” Sylvia looked away and murmured with an air of
embarrassment, “Um, could you fix your collar?”
Thomas inspected his collar and answered, “My collar is fine.” Sylvia turned stiff for a moment as her
eyes landed on his collar. They were still so revealing… Sylvia immediately lowered her head. “It’s a
little low. Could you pull it up?” Thomas made a slight grimace and informed her, “This shirt is designed
like this. If you insist, then I will put my coat on.” Sylvia hurriedly changed the topic. “No, no, it’s fine.
Let’s eat.” With that, she quickly picked up her spoon and went back to eating. Seeing this, Thomas did
not reach for his coat and proceeded to eat as well. Perhaps it was a mixture of the already hot and
humid room as well as the sheer spiciness of the Thai cuisine that Sylvia’s face turned into a bright red
hue by the time she was finished eating
