    Upon seeing Sylvie, Christopher and Rosalie felt the urge to scream in surprise. The scene was too


    dramatic, but all they could do was hold it in, their eyes darting frantically.


    Sylvie hadn’t anticipated such a coincidental encounter. She stood in the doorway, unsure whether


    to step forward or retreat, her face etched with unease.


    Carlos waspletely frozen. His mind initially went nk before vivid images shed through his


    memory. As his thoughts gradually returned, his body began to shudder with shame and regret, his


    ashen cheeks flushing with embarrassment.


    He couldn’t bring himself to look at Sylvie anymore, and his noticeable blush drew the attention of


    everyone around him.


    D*mn, did he just regain his memory? Just like that? Makes sense, though. After all, this is the first


    time Carlos has returned to the scene since he was rescued. It’s only normal he’d remember.


    Hahaha, this is getting interesting. Good thing I tagged along today. You don’t get to witness this


    kind of drama everyday.


    Christopher and Rosalie quickly pieced it together, their eyes widening in surprise and their hearts


    pounding with excitement.

    Sylvie had initially prepared herself to treat Carlos with the polite demeanor she reserved for her


    teachers.


    But unexpectedly, she found herself face to face with Carlos, his expression one of utter despair.


    Hisplexion fluctuated between pale and flushed.


    In that moment, with her keen intuition, Sylvie could easily discern Carlos‘ predicament. Her face


    instantly turned deathly pale.


    After a long, eerie silence, Sylvie seemed to regain her senses. She clutched her book and tried to


    make her escape.


    However, before she could leave, Carlos spoke up. “Ms. Ziegler, I have something to say to you.”


    The sudden resurgence of memories left Carlos distraught, but he was no longer a young man and


    knew he had to face the music. After all, he was the one who had wronged her.


    He recalled everything.


    That night, the rehearsal room Carlos had hidden in wasn’t empty. Sylvie was inside, practicing a


    piece. When she saw him burst in, looking utterly disheveled, she thought something had happened


    and approached to help him up.


    But in that brief moment of contact, Carlos lost control and tackled her to the ground.


    Sylvie struggled, screamed, and resisted, but the room’s soundproofing was too effective. There


    was no way she could be rescued in time, especially with Carlospletely out of his mind.


    As everything unfolded, Sylvie realized Carlos had been drugged and could do nothing but endure.

    sense of guilt and regret toward Sylvie.


    This is from N?velDrama.Org.


    Hence, he asked Sylvie to stay back. They returned to the rehearsal room, and Carlos earnestly


    bowed to Sylvie in apology.


    Sylvie waved her hands, flustered. “No… it’s okay… there’s no need for this, Mr. Carlos. I know it’s


    not your fault. Everything was orchestrated by Penelope. You’re a victim too.”


    Hearing Sylvie speak this way made Carlos feel even more embarrassed.


    “Please don’t forgive me too easily,” he said earnestly. “No matter the cause, it’s my fault you got


    hurt. You‘ can vent your anger at me or demandpensation. Whatever you ask for, I’ll do my


    best to fulfill. If you want, I’ll take full responsibility.”


    Unexpectedly, Sylvie’s eyes reddened after he finished speaking.


    Carlos immediately became anxious.


    “D–Don’t cry. I’m sorry, it’s all my fault. I didn’t mean to pressure you into marrying me. I just meant


    the choice is entirely yours. If you want, I will… treat you well for the rest of my life.”


    Sylvie lifted her hand to rub her eyes, a smile gracing her lips. “Mr. Carlos, I don’t need you to take


    responsibility, really. If the dayes when I decide to marry, it will be to someone who truly loves


    me. I know you’re a bachelor by choice, dedicated to pursuing your music and art for a lifetime. So,


    there’s no need to let such an unexpected event disrupt your life’s course. Forcing ourselves


    together would only end up destroying us both.”


    Caught off guard, Carlos was immediately filled with embarrassment. His mind was aplete


    mess, not fullyprehending Sylvie’s words.


    However, Isabe had already figured it out.


    The words clearly reveal that Sylvie harbors feelings for Carlos. However, she knows that Carlos


    does not reciprocate her affection and only wants to marry her out of a sense of duty and obligation.


    She doesn’t want their rtionship to be based on such terms, hence her refusal. That is also why


    Sylvie pretends as if nothing has happened, because she has never considered taking advantage of


    gratitude to win over the person she likes.
