novelxo Chapter 1329
Reagan complained, "Boss, do you have other friends besides us? If you don't want to join us, you should at least find a convincing excuse. Don't you think that you're insulting our intelligence by giving us this kind of excuse?"
"Who said that I don't have other friends except for the two of you?" Silvia glared at Reagan. "I'm going out with Audrey tomorrow. We're going shopping."
"Boss, I just called Audrey and asked her to come with us tomorrow. She said that she'd join us though." Reagan mercilessly exposed Silvia's lie.
Even when her lie was exposed, Silvia did not feel embarrassed at all. She said unabashedly, "I was going to call her when I got home. I didn't expect that you'll be a step ahead of me to ask her out." Reagan did not believe in Silvia's lame lie. He hugged Silvia's arm and said coyly, "Boss, where are you going? If you're going to do something fun, I don't mind ditching our classmates and join you instead." Silvia pushed Reagan away in disgust. "Don't talk to me like this. Are you not worried that you won't be able to find girlfriend if you behave like this?"
Lemur answered, "Boss, you really have to teach him a lesson. He's giving me goosebumps all over."
Reagan glared at Lemur and said, "All I wanted is to have fun with Boss."
"Stop messing around, okay? I have nothing to do tomorrow, so all I want is to stay at home and get a good sleep." In fact, Silvia really wanted to ask Reagan and Lemur to come along, but she must not let anyone find out about Felix's matter yet.
Reagan refused to give up, "Boss..."
Silvia interrupted him, "Stop there, I'm going to stay at home tomorrow. No one is allowed to disturb me."
Reagan wanted to say something, but after seeing Silvia rolling her eyes at him, he obediently shut his mouth. However, he was extremely dissatisfied knowing that Silvia was hiding something from them. They had been friends and following her around for more than twenty years now, but she was starting to abandon them because of someone else. Of course, they were annoyed about it. The next morning.
"Good morning, Felix!" Silvia went to look for Felix at the appointed time, getting ready to go to West Side with him.
"Silvia, you're here!" Felix had also dressed up, which made him look much more energetic.
"Yup." Silvia nodded. In the past, she would be especially worked up during this time of the year. However, she did not know why she was not in the mood for it at all this time. She didn't know if it was because Reagan and Lemur were not here or was it something else.
"What's wrong, Silvia? You don't seem happy?" Felix was a sensitive person. Moreover, Silvia could never hide her emotions, so he could immediately tell at one glance that Silvia was in low spirits.
"No, not at all. I think it's probably because of the weather. It's a little too cold, that's why I'm looking a little listless," As Silvia was explaining, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. "Felix, I'm sorry, I'll have to take this."
Silvia had just changed her phone number. There were only five people who knew this number. Since Felix was with her, the only people who would call Silvia now would be either her mother, Reagan, Lemur, or Audrey.
Silvia took out her mobile phone and answered the phone without looking at the caller ID. She was expecting to hear one of the four voices. However, Julien's voice had unexpectedly sounded through the phone. "Sister Silvia..."
"Julien?" Silvia could not believe her ears. She had just changed her phone number. How did Julien get this number?
"Sister Silvia, I..." Julien, who had always been aloof, was actually talking to her in a strangled voice. "Sister Silvia, can you please come to Chatterton Town?"
"What's the matter, Julien? Tell me what happened. Don't cry, okay?" Hearing that Julien was crying, Silvia had totally forgotten the fact that she was no longer Julien's sister-in-law. Her heart was aching so much when she heard him crying.
Julien said in a choking voice, "Sister Silvia, Jayden is dying."
"Julien, what do you mean Jayden is dying? Don't talk nonsense!" In that split second, Silvia's mind was in a complete daze.
"Jayden, he..." Julien sobbed softly. "Sister Silvia, if you come over now, I think you might be able to see him one last time. If not, you might have to wait for the next life to see him again." "Julien, don't talk nonsense. It's impossible that Jayden is dying." Silvia was unwilling to believe it, but when she heard Julien crying over the phone, she had no choice but to believe it.
If it was Levi Brown who called her, she probably would not believe it. However, Julien would never lie.
These two boys stayed in Madison City with her for quite a while, but Silvia had never seen Julien cry...
"Sister Silvia, I've booked a flight for you. Departing from Madison International Airport and arriving at Chatterton International Airport. It's a 12 o'clock flight. If you bring your passport and rush to the airport now, I think you'll still be able to catch it. It's okay if you don't want to see Jayden for one last time. Both Levi and I will always remember you as our sister-in- law." After saying that, Julien cried and hung up the phone.
Silvia listened to the busy tone on her phone and thought about what Julien had just told her. She felt that the sky above her head was about to collapse.
What should she do?
The last time she saw Jayden, he was still fine. He was still yelling at her. How could he be dying after just a few days?
"It's impossible! It's impossible! It must be fake! It must be just a lie!"
"What's wrong, Silvia?" Felix grabbed Silvia, who was on the verge of collapse, and asked, "Who was it? Why are you so scared?"
"I'm sorry, Felix. I can't go to West Side with you today." She pulled Felix's hand away and apologized, "I have something important to attend to now. I'm really sorry!"
According to the facade Felix was putting up, he should have spoken to her in a kind manner and said, "Silvia, it's okay. You can go attend to your matters first. I can wait for you no matter how long..." However, when such an issue really arose, Felix couldn't control his emotions. He grabbed Silvia's arm so forcefully that it was hurting her. However, he did not know that he had already lost control of himself. "Silvia, where are you going?"
In the past, she would never ditch him while they were on a date. Did everything change after Silvia had met Jayden?
"You're hurting me, Felix" Silvia struggled to push Felix away, but he was much stronger than her. His hands felt like a pair of iron pincers clutching on to her arms. "Could you please calm down first, Felix? Please let me go first."
At this very moment, the Felix who was standing in front of Silvia was so terrifying. He did not look like the Felix she knew at all.
