Sylvie" Sve had led her eyes. She knew he was an asshole, but she appreciated the break
On the third day of the break in the evening, she had been hwith a friend when Westley called Since the
night, when she revealed the pregnancy, they'd only spoken once on the phone, and that was the previous
morning when he was simply fat on bez
But when he called that evening, he told her he was outside her apartment and asked if she could step out

He took a second longer before replying "Hey, Sylvie How have you bern!"
"Been pretty good. You?"
"Well" He sighed and darted his eyes around. "Let's just say I've been fine."
Silence fell between them, it becso uncomfortable

Tve been thinking about what you said. Sylvie, about the baby. Now, first of all. Kage is a real son of a bitch for
doing what he did. He even a bigger bitch's son for letting you go at all."
Sylvie couldn't explain why she got uncomfortable hearing him call Kage names. Yes, she as fond of doing same,
but it just didn't sit well with her hearing it from someone else. "You're an amazing person, Sylvie, and | still love
you regardless. He completed
Her brows scrunched up as the looked at him. What the...
He pushed away from his car where he leaned, going closer to hold her hand. "I still want you, Sylvie Price, and
this time. | don't just want you to be my woman. | need you to be my wife" Shock widened Sylvie's eyes and
made her face paler than possible. Her jaw dropped as she developed goosebumps on almost every part of her
body

His hand holding hers confirmed it wasn't a dream. Then, how could he be uttering such words!

you re

Took I'm not even trying to make comparison or any thing of sort, | just want you to know you're free to be
happy, Sylvie. And | promise you. I'm never gonna hurt you. I'll love and accept this baby like it's mine. Ill be a

She blinked rapidly, wondering if Westley Harper just proposed to her despite knowing she was pregnant.
She wired absent-mindedly atmirror, applying her red lipstick. She was lost in thoughts and had the lipstick

She knew she and Kage weren't on okay teram, but would it really be cool to give his babies to someone else?
Sighing, she took her bag and left for the office.
For sweird reason, it felt good bring back at Fluxpoint. She looked around as she walked in through the
ground floor and headed for the elevator.
When the elevator opened on her loor, she cin contact with Lancelot who was seemingly waiting to go in.
"There was a spark as their eyes met.
Sylvie gulped tersely and tried walking away, but of course, be wouldn't let het off that easily. The son of a bitch.
She'd been happy she hadn't run into him the whole time.
Seriously? You just gonna walk pass like | ain't here?" He laughed,
The
area of the elevator was deserted, so no one could actually see them.
She stopped walking but didn't turn to look at him.
Lancelot retraced his steps to meet her. "Now, I've missed you. I've been here for three days now and was so sad
when | learnt you were sick. I'd have cvisiting if | knew where you lived, you know."
"And I'd have called the cops on you. You're not allowed to canywhere near my property," she struck out,
her eyes glaring daggers
He laughed again. "Oh, Sylvie, always feisty when she's angry. Always pretty
He moved to smooth her hair. "I miss us, you know? Even if our moment was short-lived, it's a moment | hold

The thought of it made Sylvie want to puke. There was nothing she missed about it. As a matter of fact, Kage
was right - she always made the wrong choices with men. Otherwise, how had she been so foolish to be with
someone like Lancelot Guy has always been a dick. She slapped his hand away from her hair.
Just leavealone, okay? Find someone else to toil with. Look around for Christ sake, Lancellot! There are like a
million laries around. Or have you been getting rejected?"
He laughed so hard at that, Sylvie believed he truly found it funny.
"Funny of you to think they'd reject me. He said with laughter still in his mouth. "Maybe the problem is, I find it
difficult getting over my exes
Her face crumpled up in disgust. "You're a bigger fool than | thought if you think you're anything close to an ex.
You were less than a thing"
"Yeah. A fling who hanged you so hard, your eyes wouldn't stop rolling," he faked a yawn. "Say something else
The thought of it made her still want to puke. God, she hated herself for what she did back then
Fuck you, she cursed and walked away, not letting him stop her with the words that followed.
