Chapter 747
Sylvia nced at him and thought of Mrs. Wright in Larro, who even though had lost her memory, still
knew how to stew the pork rib soup that Monica had taught her.
There are some emotions in this world that will never change or disappear due to time and space.
"Don''t mention it, we''re all family," Sylvia spoke softly, a hint of light shing in her beautiful eyes.
Franklin quickly scanned through the documents and once he finished, he looked up at Sylvia with an
intense and eager gaze.
"Has the court hearing time been scheduled?"
Brayden nodded. "10 AM, the day after tomorrow."
"Okay."
Franklin suppressed the palpitations in his heart. With the evidence Sylvia brought, he could achieve
twice the result with half the effort.
Several people called hotel room service together, had dinner together and then dispersed.
Sylvia and Franklin went straight to their own rooms.
She just pushed the door open, but hadn''t stepped inside yet.
Suddenly, the man reached out his long arm and pulled her inside. In the next second, she found
herself pinned against the wall by the man, who towered over her, looking down with a condescending
gaze.
The voice was hoarse and hot, "Simeon is more handsome than me?"

Sylvia: "..."
How did he know sheplimented Simeon?
She frowned slightly, thinking about Jasper''s suspicious behavior. Without guessing, she knew for sure
that Jasper tattled again.
''Does he run through the emergency exit because he doesn''t want to bump into me in the elevator?''
"Because you have a boyfriend, you won''t hug him?" Franklin extended his slender fingers and lifted
Sylvia''s pointed chin.
"Being so pure and virtuous, my dear... how should I reward you?"
Sylvia''s face was slightly flushed, and a rosy hue appeared on her fair and smooth face.
Franklin''s unique male scent lingered between their breaths, making her blush and feel embarrassed.
She can''t take it anymore.
"Well... can you let me go first? I''m a bit tired and want to take a shower," Sylvia''s voice was hoarse as
she spoke. Her usually cold tone now seemed to have warmth in it.
To Franklin''s ears, it sounded like a subtle seduction.
He gave a slight smile, his fingers gently brushing aside the strands of hair on her forehead before
nting a kiss. "Feed me first," he whispered, "then we''ll talk."
The next morning, sunlight streamed in through the window. Sylvia sat up feeling a bit groggy and achy
all over. Memories ofst night''s blush-inducing moments flooded back, making her feel a little
embarrassed. The room felt chilly and she got out of bed, washed up quickly, and walked into the living
room where she heard Franklin shuffling through some files.
Sylvia had always been light on her feet when walking, especially when the man was focused on
something else. She quietly approached him from behind as he sat at his desk looking over some
papers.
As she got closer to him, Sylvia couldn''t help but notice how broad and sturdy Franklin''s back looked -
it gave her a sense of security that made her smile inwardly. But then again, why was she thinking such
childish thoughts? Security was something you gave yourself; it wasn''t something someone else could
provide for you.
She kept walking until she stood right behind him watching as he wrote notes with his pen onto the
papers in front of him - his handwriting strong and elegant.
For some reason unknown to Sylvia herself, seeing Franklin writing like that filled her heart with an
inexplicable warmth.
"Have you seen enough?" asked Franklin turning slightly towards her with a mischievous grin on his
face.
Sylvia felt caught off guard - did he know all along that she had been standing there?
Franklin''s long fingers held the pen firmly as he wrote another line onto one of the pages before tearing
it off neatly and handing it to Sylvia who took it curiously wondering what he had written this time
around.
Upon reading what was written on the paper however made Sylvia burst outughing softly. "You''re
such a tease."
The note read: "When I look into your eyes, I see oceans, blue skies; but more than anything I see our
beautiful future together!"
It wasn''t too cheesy or overly sentimental but still managed to be quite flirtatious which surprised Sylvia
given how cold-hearted Franklin usually acted around others.
She smiled happily at this unexpected side of him while feeling softness spread throughout every inch
of her being like clouds parting way for sunshine after rain showers have passed overhead...
Suddenly, she reached out and gently, from behind, wrapped her arms around his strong waist.
She pressed her delicate cheek firmly against his back.
Franklin was taken aback for a moment before asking, "What''s wrong?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to hug you," Sylvia''s voice was slightly muffled. She had beencking warmth in
her life for too long.
