Chapter 79 Not on the Same Path
“I don’t mean it like that. The past is the past, and now is now, we’ve got to keep them separate.
Plus, you can’t deny that Sylvia did use underhanded methods to marry you back then. You know
this yourself,” Jonathan insisted, unwilling to ept any me and definitely not acknowledging
any wrongdoing on his part. In his eyes, Cyril seemed let down by everything that had happened.
“And about today’s incident – Sylvia wasn’t really harmed, was she? And since she
discovered the plot in advance, why are you being so harsh with Bonnie? Don’t you see that you’re
overreacting? We’ve never been on the same path. If we’re not, we shouldn’t force ourselves to
walk together.”
More confident in his logic, Jonathan felt that since they had never been aligned with Sylvia, why
should he care about this situation?
However, Cyril felt a bitter taste in his mouth hearing Jonathan’s words. Perhaps he had previously
believed he and Sylvia were not on the same path, thus his indifference towards her, but even so,
he had never thought about divorcing her.
“Just go home,” Cyril said, unable to articte the jumbled difort in his chest. It was as if
something he had long ignored was now revealed as vitally important to him.
He turned and left briskly, leaving Jonathan dumbfounded in his wake.
“Where are you going? Weren’t we here for the charity g tonight? And don’t you have several
partnerships to secure here? What about them if you leave?”
“There are things to take care of at thepany. We’ll discuss the partnershipster.

Currently in a sour mood, Cyril could hardly bring himself to think about those deals when he felt
like he was losing much more valuable things.
Grinding his teeth in frustration, Jonathan remained, knowing he hadn’t said anything wrong. But
with Cyril gone, despite his desire to leave, he begrudgingly turned back, thinking about the deals
Cyril was close to finalizing. It felt like he owed Cyril.
Cyril did not head back to thepany; instead, he returned to the marital home. Since the divorce,
he had spent most of his time in the apartment near his office and had not returned until now.
Stepping inside, he noticed how different the arrangements were from when he had initially left.
Back in the day, this ce was just an empty space that Cyril had bought rather thoughtlessly.
Sylvía, however, had decorated it beautifully, creating a warm and cozy

environment, even if she had taken many items with her when she left.

He recalled how Sylvia had spent a week choosing the sofa, diligently considering both material and
comfort. During their early marriage, Sylvia was genuinely happy engaging personally in every
detail of the house, even valuing his opinion, which he sadly had paid no
mind to.
Eventually, he had grown annoyed with Sylvia, feeling pestered by her persistent
aspirations and his own responsibility. So he left, only to return six monthster, oblivious to the
changes she had made. Now, realizing how much care Sylvia had put into making their home, he
understood all toote.
The moment had passed, and recognition hade far toote.
Cyril sat on the sofa, thinking about how he had always been too busy with work, preferring to stay
near the office rather thane home. Sylvia must have sat here too, waiting for him. What were
her feelings like then? He couldn’t understand. The more he pondered, the more stifled he felt.
He hesitated before taking out his phone and opening Sylvia’s contact. Since their divorce, she had
refused to take his calls. It was the same now. As expected, the call went unanswered; she had
long since blocked his number. The only chance he had to talk to her would be a chance encounter
in public, but those encounters seldom went well.
Putting down his phone in defeat, Cyril felt for the first time that his life was in disarray.
Meanwhile, Sylvia was returning home in high spirits, having found several items she liked at the
auction.
“You always make it seem like the house owes you something,” Bruce observed, noting Sylvia’s
spending habits. It wasn’t the amount of money that concerned him; instead, he wondered if she
had been too constrained all these years.
“I don’t understand why you chose that path initially. You left a life offort for hardship and didn’t
gain much from it,” Bruce said, speaking of such matters rarely. Hearing him, Sylvia suddenly lost
interest in the jewels she had bid on.
“Big brother, it was indeed a mistake on my part. Let’s not dwell on it forever, or our second brother
will have a field day scolding meter,” Sylvia responded, thinking she’d better not let her second
brother see her new jewelry, or he’d use it as another reason to lecture her.
Bruce sighed and affectionately ruffled her hair. “I’m just concerned about you. Anyway, now that
you’re back, let’s pretend that none of that ever happened. Oh, and the twins will be back soon. I
heard they’re nning to start some small business ventures. Would you be interested in joining
them for a bit of fun?”

“No way, they’re always getting into some mischief. Plus, I haven’t even got a handle on the
company’s affairs yet. I don’t want to start dabbling in small distractions. Let me get a full grasp on
our family’s business first. And you know very well Duncan’s intentions. not mix those
up with business.”
Just thinking about it gave Sylvia a headache. How had her good friend be soplicated?
I dare
With a twinkle in his eyes, Bruce replied, “I thought you never noticed. Duncan may be a bit
younger, but he’s a decent guy. Still, we’re not going to consider anything like that now. No worries.
If you’re not keen, let’s not dwell on it. Just focus on enjoying our second brother’s concert; he has
prepared a lot of surprises for you.”
