<b>Chapter </b>191<b>: </b><b>I’m </b><b>Better</b>
Duncan carefully recalled the process of meeting Miles. Miles was indeed a very nice person, but Duncan had never dealt with him before and wasn’t sure what kind of person he was. However, seeing him getting along so well with Silvia made Duncan feel a bit ufortable.
Bruce was still working on his tasks when he heard Duncan’s words. He looked up briefly, then lowered his head again to continue working as if nothing had happened.
“So what are you going to do?”
“What can I do? I just casually asked. But is Silvia’s taste not good? Why would she be interested in Miles? That guy clearly has a son, and their standards seem to need some improvement. Comparatively, I’m better.”
Hearing Duncan’s shameless words, Bruce finally put down his pen and looked at Duncan seriously. After scrutinizing him carefully, Bruce felt a bit creeped out and withdrew his
gaze.
“Although I don’t know why you feel this way, I must remind you, he’s not inferior to you in any aspect. Also, that son is his brother’s child. After his brother passed away, he has been taking care of the child. So, in terms of responsibility, Miles is indeed a good person. Additionally, I’ll say something you might not like to hear: his face is actually better looking than yours.”
What Bruce said before didn’t matter much, but the most important thing was thest sentence<b>. </b><b>For </b>Duncan, it was a devastating blow.
“So what if his face is good–looking? That doesn’t matter. What matters is the person’s character. Look at Cyril, his face is quite good, isn’t it? But what’s the result?”
Duncan emphasized, feeling a bit aggrieved. It was true that he couldn’t do much about his looks. Although he wasn’t bad–looking,pared to others, he fell slightly short. But he couldn’t ept it.
Apart from that, appearance wasn’t something he could change easily. He couldn’t just go and make himself look better. And even if he did, it would deviate from his original appearance, which would probably make Silvia like him even less.
“Regardless of the oue, it was his face that initially caught my sister’s attention. Now, he has caught Miles‘ attention with that same face, What’s so surprising about it? Anyway, I won’t talk to you about this anymore. Why did youe here today? Looking for my sister? She’s not here.”
Bruce was toozy to continue arguing with him.
He straightforwardly asked why Duncan hade. If he was here to find Silvia, judging by the situation, Silvia wouldn’te out. But if it was for something else, then he should go find Silvia himself. Bruce didn’t want to deal with Duncan.
“Silvia isn’t here? Why didn’t you say so earlier? If I knew she wasn’t here, I wouldn’t have said all this. I’m tired of talking so much with you. Oh, by the way, about that matter, we’re nning to go outter. Do you want to join us?”
Duncan asked.
Bruce shook his head. He wasn’t fond of participating in such activities. These so–called young people’s activities were almost irrelevant to him. Since the age of 18, he had been involved inpany matters. Although he was well aware that these matters would eventually be handed over to his sister, he hoped that when his sister took over, it would be easier for her. Therefore, he had hardly rxed over the years.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.
This led to his character being more reserved and introverted than others, and he basically didn’t participate in such activities.
Seeing him shake his head, Duncan wasn’t surprised. Every time they nned to go out, he would refuse eight out of ten times. The remaining two times were probably when Silvia wanted to go out and cause trouble. Then he would go along, but his purpose was just to keep an eye on Silvia.
“Alright, if you don’t want to go, forget it. Silvia really isn’t here, right? She wouldn’t be hiding and eavesdropping, would she?”
Duncan looked around the office and then fixed his gaze on the door of the lounge. He had a feeling that Silvia must be inside, but he didn’t dare to go and look. After all, it wasn’t his office.
“If you want to know, go and see for yourself. Stop talking nonsense here.”
Bruce said. Since Duncan didn’t dare to do it himself, he certainly wouldn’t. He smiled, said goodbye, and left. A few minutes after Duncan left, Silvia slowly opened the door of the lounge and walked out.
She sat down in front of Bruce with a speechless expression: Bruce looked at Silvia with a half–smile, half–sneer.
“How was it? Do you feel that the quality of your peach blossoms has improved a lot after your divorce? If you really can’t stand Miles, consider Duncan. At least Duncan is a very nice person. I still approve of him.”
Silvia felt a headacheing on. She had heard their entire conversation in the lounge just now. Duncan’s words sounded a bit shameless, but she knew Duncan very well after <b>so </b>many years. However, could her brother stop acting like this?
“Although I think Brother’s words make sense, we grew up together since childhood. I don’t think he has such thoughts. If he really did, how could I have waited until now? Don’t say these things here anymore. It’s quite annoying. And didn’t <b>you </b>see? Even if I wanted something to happen with him, I wouldn’t have stayed outside all the time.”
Her words did make sense, so Bruce didn’t say anything more. But with one Duncan, one Miles, and one persistent Cyril, these two weren’t easy to deal with. Thinking about it, Silvia felt <b>sorry </b>for her sister. After all, in medicine and entertainment<b>, </b>there were plenty of opportunities for development. Why did they
have to go abroad? They could do the same thing in the country.
“I’ll call your two brothers backter and let them develop in the country. The environment here is also very good. Always fooling around outside, not even having time to protect their own sister<b>, </b>really useless. Also, think about whether you want to go out with uster. <b>If </b>you really don’t want to, forget it.”
Silvia sighed. If she had known earlier that Duncan would also go along, he would definitely have refused. But now that he had agreed, could he really <b>not </b><b>go</b><b>?</b>
He had to go, but he would have to find a way to minimize contact <b>with </b>Duncan as much as possible. He didn’t want Duncan to develop feelings he shouldn’t have. After all, the current situation was already good, and he couldn’t respond to Duncan’s feelings. That would only hurt Duncan unnecessarily.
