Chapter 188


    Chapter 188 Years of Emotion


    Miles‘ perspective truly surprised Silvia. However, they hadn’t known each other for long, and it was


    possible that Miles’s words were just a passing interest.


    Surely, no one would pursue someone so recklessly, right? After all, they were all adults who


    considered the consequences before acting. Even Cyril’s decision to marry her had been made


    after careful consideration of pros and cons.


    “All these things, including the trouble you might cause me, as you mentioned earlier, I just got out


    of your not–so–good emotional life. So, for a long time, I don’t want to get involved in any emotional


    entanglements. I appreciate your liking towards me, but… I can’t give you any response right now. I


    suggest you seriously reconsider your feelings for me. In the adult world, besides emotions, there


    are many other things to consider.”


    Silvia looked earnestly at Miles. Over the years, she had learned a lesson: if she didn’t like


    someone, she shouldn’t give them any ideas. If a rtionship needed to end, it should be cut off.


    Miles paused for a moment, then smiled, “I thought you would sharply reject me from getting closer


    to you. But since you said that, I’ll definitely think about it. But if after thinking, my feelings for you


    are sincere, I won’t easily give up.”


    Silvia nodded slightly. Since the words were spoken, and she believed apetent businessman


    like Miles knew what was beneficial for him.


    Oh, yes, she almost forgot. Miles now knew her identity, so perhaps his actions were influenced by


    that. With their simr backgrounds, if they were to unite, it would be beneficial for both their


    companies.


    In such a win–win situation, Miles pursuing her wasn’t surprising.


    Thinking this, Silvia’s mood lightened. How could the adult world be so straightforward?


    “Well, it’s about time. I’ll leave now. We’ll contact each other if there’s anything.”


    After Silvia finished speaking, she headed towards the underground parking lot. She knew her


    friends were probably lurking nearby, so she needed to get to her car quickly. They knew each


    other so well; they couldn’t resist gossiping.


    Sure enough, when she reached the parking lot, her friends emerged from somewhere and


    crowded around her.


    “Tell us what happened. Forget about Cyril, what about you and Miles? What did you both say just


    now? And were you defending Miles just now? Weren’t you uninterested in him? Yet you were so


    close. Is that appropriate?” they bombarded her with questions.


    “And Miles, he seems like a decent guy. You should consider him, but be careful. He just came out


    of a marriage, and he has a son. Think it through. Anyway, let’s not talk about this anymore. Do you


    want to go somewhere else for a drink?”


    Their eyes sparkled with gossip, and though they spoke for her benefit, Silvia could see through


    their intentions. They just wanted to pry information out of her.

    “Forget it. I have nothing to say to you two. You both have partners; what coulde out of my


    mouth?”


    Silvia crossed her arms, refusing to indulge their gossip. She didn’t want to talk anymore.


    They exchanged a nce, sighing helplessly. What could they do? Silvia had learned to keep her


    mouth shut; their attempts to get information out of her were futile. “We just care about your


    emotions over the years. How could you think of us like this?” they said, feigning innocence.


    Silvia chuckled bitterly, finding their pathetic act amusing.


    “It’s because of our years of friendship that I still don’t know what you two are thinking. Dream on,”


    she retorted.


    In truth, even Silvia’s mind was a bit muddled. She couldn’t figure out the dynamics between them


    all, but there was no need to dwell on it too much.


    She believed Miles’s interest in her was probably influenced by their backgrounds.


    Realizing this, Silvia felt she didn’t need to discuss it further with her friends. Perhaps her previous


    pondering had been a waste of energy.


    Since Silvia didn’t want to talk, her friends decided not to push it. Eventually, Silvia drove off, but her


    car was abruptly stopped.


    Miranda spoke up, “Let’s go out together in a few days. I’ll send you the details.”


    They had been busytely, but if they had time to go out, Silvia wouldn’t reject the idea. After


    agreeing, Miranda let her go.


    Kate looked puzzled, “When did we decide to go out? Why wasn’t I informed?”


    “We just decided to go out. Don’t you think it’s a good idea to invite Miles after we go out? Silvia


    didn’t say much just now, but her expression was off. Miles must have said something. We need to


    figure out what’s going on,” Miranda exined seriously.


    Although they were curious about what had transpired between Silvia and Miles, they didn’t want


    Silvia to repeat the mistakes of her past.


    Understanding Miranda’s intentions, Kate had nothing more to say. She immediately took out her


    phone to search for a suitable ce for rxation.


    But then came the question: “How do we invite Miles out?”
