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

Sylvie met up with him, finding him in a pair of black pants and a T-shin. He appeared casual, but the Tesla car

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

She looked around, her mind hazy. There was no way it was a dream. Had Westley lost his mind?

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

you re

aware that Kage in planning to get married, right?

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

great father to it. Please. Sylvie givethis chance. W Sylvie Price had never been more stunned her whole life.

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

dear

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.

Kage's grip on the phone got tighter. Who wise could it possibly be? Who else if not the son of a bitch?
