Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

c Chapter 83

When Sylvie learned that Kage had lost the vote, she was furious and felt really bad for Kage. Somehow, she felt

bad because she used to be in a relationship with Westley. Evelyn was right. Westley had lost his mind and

wanted by all means to ruin Kage. But she wasn't going to let him.

"I've told you, it's fine. You have nothing to worry about," Kage said for what felt like the hundredth tas he

poured himself another glass of wine at the counter, while Sylvie seethed in the living room behind him. "You

keep saying that. But he's the one leading the project, not you. What can we possibly do to stop him?" There

were wrinkled lines on her forehead.

"We?" Kage chuckled, turning to look as he sipped from his glass. "I don't think there'll be any 'we', Sylvie. This is

my Group. It's my responsibility to fix it."

"I know. But it it doesn't mean you can't accept help."

"Well. what can you possibly do? Slap him? Yell at him and ask him to resign?" He laughed. "This isn't a battle for

girls, honey."

"Seriously?" She rolled her eyes. "You think that it is all | can do? It's obvious you don't know me." Well, | think |

do"

do.

Setting down his glass, he strode over to sit beside her on the couch, putting a hand over her shoulder. "But

really, you should stop worrying. I'll handle this."

Sylvie's shoulders relaxed a bit, but she still seemed bothered as she looked at him. "If you say so."

Taking a deep breath, she put her head on his shoulder, loving how it felt. She hoped they could remain this way

with nothing coming between them. For once in her life, she wished she could truly be happy. Kage's phone

buzzed to life, ringing on the table. It was close enough for both of them to take a peek.

Sylvie's stomach churned when she discovered it was Lana.

It was evening already. Why was she calling - Sylvie thought.

They glanced at each other before Kage sat up and reached for the phone.

Sylvie forced herself not to have any negative thoughts as she watched him answer the call.

But it wasn't Lana who spoke from the other end. “Hi, Kage. It's Mia.”

Mia was Lana's younger sister. Kage's brows furrowed, wondering why Mia would be calling with Lana's phone.

"Uh... Hi, Mia. Is everything okay?" He reclined in the couch.

"Uh... No. And I'm sorry | had to call. It's just that, Lana's very sick. She's been crying and wishes you were here.

| think it has to do with the baby."

There was a pause. "You know our mother isn't around, Kage. So she feels lonely and abandoned. It'd be nice if

you could caround and check her out."

Sylvie couldn't hear what the caller was saying, but Kage's weary expression made her curious. She stared at his

face intently like she could get the answers she needed out of it. "If she's sick, why don't you get her to a

hospital? Or call the doctor to caround? Leaving her in that condition is more dangerous." Kage said, giving

For several heartbeats, Kage was silent, his fingers pinching the space between his eyebrows.

"I'll call you back," he finally said and and dropped the

call.

Sylvie folded her hands, watching as he operated his phone.

Tana was a maid at Lana's place. Kage had taken her contact after Lana becpregnant, incase there was an

emergency with her and he needed to reach her.

The woman sighed. "Actually, she's very fine, sir. Not long ago, she was drinking at the balcony. I-1 overheard her

Thank you." He dropped the call.

"What happened?" Sylvie asked with furrowed brows.

"Nothing," he smiled, taking her hand. "I got what | wanted."

Sylvie was still angry over what Westley had done to Kage. And to make things worse, he wouldn't stop calling

and texting her. Although, thankfully, she wasn't with Kage the times he called.

She had to restrict his number from calling her, and for two days, she was at peace. But on the third day, when a

strange number called, she picked up and instantly regretted it as soon as she heard the caller's voice. "Still mad

at me?" Was the first thing he said.

She closed her eyes and grunted, fi***g her hands. "Why won't you letbe? What!? Do you so desperately

want to rub it in my face that you won the vote?"

"Don't callagain!" She ended the call, her chest still heaving.

Now more than ever, she was determined to stop him. And she was going to tell Kage all about it.
