Chapter 161


    chapter 161 Longing for Children


    Some things are easier to exin, but some things are not so straightforward Sylvia wanted to


    exin that she had no rtion to this child, but sometimes exnations were futile and only made


    matters worse.


    The child indeed bore a striking resemnce to her, enough for him to run up and call her “mom.”


    The looks she received from those around were unsettlingly strange.


    This child appeared to be about five or six years old, but Sylvia had only been married to Cyril for a


    little over three years. So where did this childe from?


    Sylvia didn’t dare ponder what they were thinking just by observing their reactions, she could tell


    they were up to no good, which gave her a headache


    “child, I’m not your mother. You’ve mistaken me for someone else. Besides, I don’t have a son as


    old as you. I’m not even married.”


    “But you are my mother. I saw your photo on Dad’s phone. He said my mom is the most beautiful


    woman in the world, and the most beautiful person I’ve seen here is you. Haven’t you noticed how


    much we resemble each other?


    Though the child was young, his mind was remarkably agile, and his logic flowed smoothly.


    But then he suddenly mentioned a father figure, and the expressions of those around changed.


    Sylvia found herself at a loss for words.


    “But I don’t know who your dad is.”


    Sylvia tamed to her brother for help, only to find Bruce looking at her with a searching gaze, adding


    to her confusion.


    Even her own brother had misunderstood.


    “It’s not what you think. I truly have no connection with him. I don’t know him, or who his parents


    are.”


    Bruce sighed in exasperation. “I know you have no connection with him, but I can’t help but feel he


    looks familiar. And haven’t you noticed how much he resembles you?


    *If he resembles me, perhaps he’s more rted to you. After all, he would look even more like


    you.”


    Sylvia said this without hesitation, and it made perfect sense.


    If the child shared three simrities with her, then he shared four with Bruce.


    It wouldn’t be so strange to say he was Bruce’s son, but what everyone wondered more was if he


    was Sylvia and Bruce’s.


    “Sorry, did our child cause you any trouble?”


    Just as Sylvia and Bruce racked their brains to figure out who the child belonged to, a man’s voice


    suddenly joined the crowd. Sylvia found the voice incredibly familiar and turned to see Miles, whom


    she had saved in country.


    Now she was certain, the figureshe sar on the second floor earlier was indeed Miles.


    “Is this your son?” Published by N?v''elD/rama.Org.


    “He’s my adopted son. His mother passed away early, so he’s always wanted to find his birth


    mother. He must have thought you were very beautiful, which is why he called you‘ mom.‘ 1


    apologize for the trouble. Please don’t take his words seriously, he tends to say things like that.


    Clearly, Miles was experienced in handling such situations. After apologizing and exining,


    everyone realized it was a misunderstanding


    Sylvia breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Miles intervened in time and exined everything


    clearly. Otherwise, her reputation could have been tarnished. Especially since she had a previous


    marriage where they had no children together. Suddenly having such a big chill appear would raise


    suspicions.


    However, looking at the child, Sylvas felt moved. When she married Cyril, she had hoped for the


    chance to have their own children, but it never happened. Sylvia’s lips curled into a bitter smile, but


    she quickly hid it. However, Bruce, sitting beside her, naturally noticed Sylvia’s demeanor and


    sensed something amiss. “Thank you for your help in F country. 1 was nning to move my


    company here, so I prepared this banquet specifically to thank you. And this gentleman beside you


    is..


    They looked quite alike, so Miles didn’t jump to conclusions. They might be rtives


    Sylvia chuckled. “He’s my brother”


    Miles suddenly realized. “I’ve heard there’s a very capable CEO in the ban Group. I didn’t expect


    there was also a daughter.”


    Bruce was the face of the Ivan Group, the supposed son, but in reality, the van Group had four


    children. However, it wasn’t crucial; as long as there was someone managing tpany, the rest


    didn’t matter much.


    “I heard my sister saved someone in country recently. I didn’t expect it was you. It seems fate


    brought us together. Let’s have dinner together sometime.”


    Bruce smiled and conversed with Miles. It seemed they knew each other, and their rtionship


    seemed quite familiar for a while


    Curiously, Sylvia looked at the two of them, wondering when her brother had met Miles. She


    nned to askter


    As Miles had other people to greet, he spoke with Sylvia and Bruce for a while before buying


    himself with others. At that moment, Cyril and Jonathan approached


    the


    Cyril looked at Sylvia with aplicated expression. When he saw the child beside her, he felt


    angry, thinking Sylvia had betrayed their rtionship. However, when it turned out to be a


    misunderstanding, his anger dissipated, feeling it was unreasonable


    Didn’t he know better than anyone? Sylvia couldn’t possibly conceal anything from others,


    especially in recent years.


    After Cyrd and Jonathan approached, Sylvia’s side faded a bit, carrying a hint of distance,


    was even less weing. He didn’t like seeing the two of them together, with Cyrill putting his arm


    around Sylvia as if they were about to leave.


    “You seem to like children, don’t you?”


    dary prepand to leave, Cycll’s sudden remark stunned everyone, especially Jonathan, who widened


    his eyes in disbelief. Was he out of his mind? Was he serious?
