Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 91

After thinking of the perfect way to begin her enquires, Sylvie cup with one that was a have a lot of options.

She pulled over in front of the school, then waited in the car until the bell rang and the kids ctrooping out.

She was taking a huge risk-she knew. But if it worked out, the risk would be worth it.

She left the car, scouring her eyes over the place and feeling relieved the moment she saw them-Lily and Cora.

They

were both carrying their backpacks with Lily holding Cora's hand as they hopped out of the building, heading for

the central Pack to wait for their mum with the other kids. This was Sylvie's chance.

She went over, approaching them before they reached the park

"Hey, pumpkins!" She waved at them, wearing her bright smile

The girls' eyes beamed upon seeing her. "Aunty Sylvie!"

Sylvie didn't look suspicious for any of the staff around to stop her. She was a heavily pregnant woman decently

dressed in a pair of jeans and black shirt. Who could suspect someone like her? How was school today?" Sylvie

stroke Cora's hair. "It was fine."

"Did you cwith mummy?" Lily asked, looking behind her.

here."

God, she hated that she was doing this to Evelyn's kids, but she didn't have a choice. Since her conversation

with Westley three days ago, she's been restless. You see, myself and sother friends of your mum are

planning a little surprise for her," she continued calmly as she led them to a seat in the park. They found an

empty spot where she sat in the middle. "But to achieve that, there are certain things we must know. You see,

it's an adult thing. So, | don't expect you to understand much, which is why I'm not going to explain further, but

we want to help her heal from the of your dad. Do Do you understand what | mean?"

Guilt stabbed Sylvie hard in the chest. For God's sake, she shouldn't be bringing up such sensitive topic!

Lily and Cora were just six and four. Hopefully, they were young enough to fall for her lies.

They bobbed their heads.

"Good," Sylvie smiled. "So, | have a few questions. Has your uncle Lincoln been frequenting your place?" She

looked around for any sign of Evelyn.

This was really risky. If Evelyn were to walk up to her questioning her kids, in their school without her knowledge,

it'd mean trouble. She really hoped ssort of delay would keep her away.

"Yes!" Cora answered before Lily could, her face bright with smiles. "Uncle Lincoln has been very nice to us. He

visits everyday, bringing us gifts and snacks. He even takes us out sometimes and spends snights with us."

Sylvie's eyes widened at the revelation. Lincoln sleeps at their place?

"Okay..." she tucked a strand of hair behind her ear. "Your uncle seems really nice. Which is why he's my friend

as well. But..did he do this when your dad was alive?"

"No," Lily shook her head. "Back then, he didn't cto the house all the time."

Sylvie nodded, a a lump forming in her throat.

"And your mum..." she Their

Her heart raced beneath her skin.

tried to hide the tremor in her voice.

"Yeah!! Thank you!" Cora snatched two from her, while Lily took the rest.

"Thank you, aunt Sylvie."

"It's nothing. This is just to make sure you keep our meeting a secret, alright? Remember, if mum knows, the

surprise will be ruined, and she won't be happy. You wouldn't want that to happen, right?" They shook their

heads.

"Good." She rose from the seat. "Now, just wait for her, okay? You can tell her you got the candies yourself. Bye!"

"Bye!"

Cora was already licking hers as Sylvie scurried off.

Once in her car, she released the tensed breath she'd been holding. She rested her head on the steering wheel,

trying to piece the images together.

Was it possible Westley truly didn't kill Paul and didn't have anything planned against Kage like she'd thought?

But, why would Evelyn lie to her? And why did it seem like she might be having ssort of relationship with

Lincoln? Something wasn't right. But it didn't make sense that Evelyn would lie to her and have, Westley

arrested. Why did Westley have to get involved in it?

The entire drive home, Sylvie was disturbed and kept thinking of ways to complete the puzzle in her head. Her

mind wouldn't be at rest until she's learned the truth.

Reaching home, all she wanted to do was spend a long tin the Jacuzzi. But when she stepped into the

bedroom, she was met with a package on her bed.

Her brows furrowed. It was a white box with srose petals scattered around.

She giggled. Kage was supposed to be at the office. Did he have someone do this even while he was away?

It was pure diamond-a necklace that glittered and was the most beautiful Sylvie had ever seen.

"I can't believe this," she mumbled to herself, shaking her head.

When would Kage stop with the gifts? Maybe, not stop, but give it a break at least.

Just a week ago, he had gifted her a new car a Maybach Exclero like she actually needed it.

Now, it was this?

She smiled, running her fingers along the surface of the jewelery. It was truly beautiful.
