Chapter 1537


    "What did you say, huh?" Jayden''s voice suddenly chimed in. Silvia immediately put on a smile and


    said, "Honey, I''m going to spend the night with Lawrie tonight. You''re perfectly fine to sleep alone,


    aren''t you? Since you''re such a considerate person, I''m sure you''ll agree."


    "Also, it''s been a long time since you and Julienst met each other. I''m sure you have a lot to catch


    up. We''ll leave you to it then." As Silvia spoke, she even gave Jayden a big hug. Before Jayden


    could respond, Silvia let go of him and dragged Vanessa away. "Let''s go, Vanessa. We''d better not


    disturb them."


    When Silvia and Vanessa were making their way downstairs, they ran into the servant, Maria


    Murphy, at the staircase.


    "Hello, Maria," Silvia greeted her warmly. "Why are you in such a hurry? Where are you going?"


    "Mrs. Spencer and Miss Spencer are here. I''m on my way to inform Madam Karen about it."


    As Faye and Karen were good friends, the Spencer family and the Kyle family were very close.


    Faye often brought Yvette over to visit. Even though Silvia was not spending much time in


    Chatterton Town, she knew who they were. "I see. Go ahead then. Don''t keep them waiting."


    "Yes, I''ll go right away."


    Silvia dragged Vanessa to the living room. "Vanessa, Mom''s best friend hase to visit. Let''s go


    and say hi to them."


    Vanessa had been despised and ridiculed too much over the years. Therefore, she habitually


    avoided strangers who had nothing to do with her. "But Silvia, I''ve never met them before. I think I''ll


    pass."


    Since Silvia was not the most observant person, she did not notice the change in Vanessa''s


    expression. "Auntie Faye and Mom have been good friends for decades. She is just like family.


    Anyway, you''ll have to meet her sooner orter after marrying Julien. Why don''t you just meet her


    today?"


    "Is that you, Silvia? You''re back in Chatterton Town?" There was still some distance between them


    and the living room. When Silvia heard Faye greet her, she immediately walked over with a smile.


    "Hi, Auntie Faye. It''s been a while. I miss you so much."


    Vanessa did not follow Silvia as she was used to avoiding strangers. Standing some distance away


    from them, she listened to their conversation.


    "Yeah, it''s indeed been a long time since west met. You look even more beautiful now." Apart


    from aging slightly, Faye''s bubbly character remained. Also, her friendship with Karen did not


    change at all, even after a few decades.


    "Thank you, Auntie Faye. I guess I''ll just shamelessly admit that I''m indeed bing more


    beautiful," Silvia replied with a smile. Then, she looked around and said, "I heard that you came


    together with Yvette. Where is she?"


    "As soon as we entered the house, we ran into Karen Joy and the two little ones. So Yvette has


    gone to y with them." Faye nced upstairs and continued, "Actually, I''m visiting thiste just to


    have a chat with Karen. Nothing much."


    "Auntie Faye, you must have something to discuss with Mom." As far as Silvia knew, Faye was a


    well-mannered person. Although she was close to Karen, she would never barge into their house


    knowing that it would cause inconvenience to them. Therefore, she figured there must be something


    bothering Faye.


    "Well, it''s not like it''s a secret." Faye had always been a frank person. More importantly, she never


    had the intention to hide it. "I''m here to ask about Julien. I want to confirm whether he is really


    engaged like what the rumors said. If it''s just false rumors, I would like to fight for a chance for


    Yvette. But if it''s true, I will convince her to give up on Julien."


    "Yvette... fancies Julien?" Silvia was shocked. She knew that Julien had a close rtionship with


    Yvette when they were children. However, he had only treated her as a younger sister. She didn''t


    expect Yvette would have a crush on Julien.


    Actually, there was nothing wrong with Yvette having a crush on Julien. The key was, her feelings


    for him were not reciprocated. Julien only had eyes for Vanessa.


    Silvia tilted her head and nced at Vanessa. There were no changes in her expression, which


    worried Silvia even more. "Auntie Faye, about that..."


    "Faye, why didn''t you call me in advance before you came over? Sorry for keeping you waiting."


    Karen walked over with a bright smile on her face, cutting Silvia off.


    Faye said to Silvia, "I''m going to have a chat with Karen. You guys can go ahead and continue your


    activities."


    Silvia was a bit worried, but she couldn''t say much in front of the elders. Hence, she had no choice


    but to leave the scene.


    After they were seated, Faye repeated the question to Karen.


    "Faye, since you''re so straightforward, I''ll be frank with you. It''s true that Julien is engaged. He even


    brought his future wife home today and introduced her to everyone. Look, it''s that beautiful girl who


    is with Silvia over there. Julien likes her very much and wants to marry her. I think it''s better for him


    and Yvette to stay as friends." Since Faye hadid her intention on the table, Karen was being


    forthright with her as well. Karen had always felt that it was inappropriate for the elders to get


    involved in their children''s love lives. "Faye, I have always advocated that the children should deal


    with their own affairs by themselves. I hope you understand."


    "Karen, what do you mean by saying all of these?" Faye suddenly raised her voice. She said with


    great dissatisfaction, "Just what do you think of me? Do you really think that if you object to Julien


    and Yvette dating, I will end my decades of friendship with you?"


    "No. I care a lot about you, that''s why I''m worried."


    "Do you think that you''re the only one who cares about me as a friend, and that I don''t feel the same


    way?"


    "Of course I don''t!"


    "It''s obvious that you do think so," Faye retorted.


    Karen gave in and said, "Fine, fine, anything you say. As long as you are not mad at me and still be


    friends with me, you can say anything you want."


    "Do you think I''d stop being friends with you willy-nilly? Am I such an unreasonable and cold-


    hearted person in your eyes?"


    Karen was lost for words.


    She figured staying silent was the wisest thing to do.


    "Karen, you care for me as a friend, and so do I. I agree... It''s better for the children to take care of


    their own matters. We can''t have our say even if we wanted to. I came to you today because Yvette


    has been begging me. I know her feelings toward Julien are one-sided, and that he has someone


    else in his heart. But Yvette is too stubborn to admit it and is determined to fight for it. As herN?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.


    mother, I hope that she finds someone she loves to spend her life with... But I understand that


    feelings cannot be forced. So, I''m having this conversation with you in hopes that Yvette would


    finally give up on Julien.
