Chapter 220 Cyril AgainAfter visiting Jimmy’s room, Miles finally finished his tasks and came downstairs. When he saw
Sylvia and Jimmy sitting on the floor playing games, he was quite surprised.
“I thought you wouldn’t bother coming when Jimmy messaged and called you,” Miles said casually,
handing an apple to Sylvia, who shook her head in refusal as she was busy with the game.
Sylvia’s eyes were fixed on the large screen in front of her. She replied, “I wasn’t planning to come,
but Jimmy was just too enthusiastic. Besides, being pestered by someone can be quite endearing.
So I thought it wouldn’t hurt to come. If I didn’t come, I wouldn’t have seen how beautifully you’ve
decorated your place. When are you planning to have a party?”
“No need for a party. We haven’t done much decoration at home, so there’s no need to fuss over it.
But what happened today? It couldn’t be just because of Jimmy’s casual remarks that you decided
to come, right? You’re not someone who easily accepts invitations from others.”
Miles couldn’t believe that Sylvia came just because of Jimmy’s invitation. There must have been
something else, but he couldn’t figure out what it was.
Before Sylvia could answer, Miles guessed, “Is it Cyril? Besides him, I can’t think of anyone else
who would make you suddenly want to come over to play. You’re not someone who would accept
random invitations.”

Hearing Miles’s words, Sylvia’s game control went awry, and Jimmy easily defeated her character.
Jimmy was ecstatic, while Sylvia looked at Miles with a hint of reproach. Seeing this, Miles quickly
raised his hands in surrender.
“Sorry, I didn’t realize that. Let me help you get back. I didn’t expect such a big reaction from you. If
you don’t want to talk about it, there’s no need. I just mentioned it casually.””Of course, you just mentioned it casually, but what you said is true. The reason I came back here,
besides Jimmy, is indeed because Cyril has been bothering me to no end. Today, I accompanied
Juliet to an auction, and Cyril happened to expose my identity there. His attitude and actions were
disgusting.”
Now that Miles understood the situation, he wasn’t too surprised. Cyril’s attitude would definitely
change after Sylvia’s identity was exposed. But this exposure would also bring trouble for Sylvia, as
Cyril wouldn’t let it go easily. Sylvia might face even more trouble in the future.
“Have you thought about cutting ties with Cyril?” Miles carefully chose his words, probing.
“What a joke! Of course, I want to cut ties with Cyril, but he’s like a piece of chewing gum that you
can’t get rid of. He’s really getting on my nerves.”
This was true. Sylvia had tried everything to avoid any relationship with Cyril, but unfortunately, no
matter what she did, Cyril always appeared. Whether intentional or not, seeing him always ruined
her mood. So trying to completely sever ties with Cyril was not an easy task.
And now, with her identity fully exposed, Cyril would have more things to do. He might take this
opportunity to cause even more trouble for Sylvia.

“What can I do to help you?” Sylvia’s expression became even more puzzled when she heard
Miles’s question. She even forgot about the game. Jimmy also heard his dad’s words and stared at
him with wide eyes. In the next moment, he felt that he shouldn’t be here in this situation.
So he put down the game controller and immediately ran out, saying he wanted to play something
else. But in fact, the adults had already seen through him; he just cleared the room for them.
“Don’t say such things in front of children again. I’ll take it as a one-time thing. Don’t do it again,”
Sylvia smiled, not taking Miles’s words seriously. She didn’t consider Miles’s offer as something shereally needed help with.
“Just felt like you were really troubled by this, so he wanted to help you solve it. If you don’t need it,
just forget we ever talked about it. You don’t need to worry about any trouble.”
Miles’s face looked sincere, but there was something off about it. After thinking for a moment, Sylvia
tentatively asked, “Honestly, are you joking with me? Are you trying to pursue me?”
Sylvia didn’t mean to be narcissistic, but she found Miles’s actions extremely strange. She had
learned a lot about Miles recently, and he wasn’t someone she could easily get in touch with. So his
actions were indeed very strange.
Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.After hearing Sylvia’s question, Miles chuckled, “So you finally realized it. I always felt like I wasn’t
obvious enough, and you never noticed. Now that you’ve noticed, I feel relieved. I’ve always wanted
to pursue you.”
Sylvia widened her eyes in disbelief. She had always thought her feelings were misplaced.
Otherwise, why would she think Miles wanted to pursue her? Now that Miles had said it, she felt
incredibly shocked and couldn’t speak for a while.
“Are you kidding me?” It took Sylvia a while to find her voice again. She felt like this whole situation
was too surreal.
“Was it him who joked with you before? I never joke about these things. You can think about it
carefully. Of course, I’m just saying you need to think carefully; you don’t need to give me an answer
right away. I think you’ve only just realized that I want to pursue you, so that’s my attitude. I’ll be
more obvious.”
