Chapter 156

Chapter 156

Gilbert was chill about it, looking at Edgar like a concerned older brother “Edgar, you’re here!”

“Yeah.” Edgar nodded with a smile, explaining his presence, “Mom sent me over to drop some things off for Sylvia.”

Sylvia waved her hand, gesturing to Edgar. “You haven’t answered my question from earlier. Do you have a thing for Sherilyn?”

“1…” Edgar stumbled over his words. He was a bit shy at first, but catching a glance at Gilbert, he saw an opportunity.

At the very least, he should make his feelings known in front of her family. especially in front of her ex–husband.

Taking a deep breath, Edgar nodded, “Yes, Sylvia, I… I like Sherilyn.”

At that, Sylvia and Gilbert were both stunned.

“Edgar, my boy!” Sylvia was thrilled, clasping her hands excitedly, “Are you serious?”

“Yes, Sylvia.” Edgar pushed up his glasses, the picture of a noble and handsome young man.

“That’s wonderful.” Sylvia was overjoyed. She always knew Sherilyn, even as a second–time bride, deserved the finest young man in Sunhaven! “Does

Sherilyn know about this?”

“She does.” Edgar frowned slightly, “But… it seems she has some

reservations.”

“Hmm?” Sylvia understood immediately and sighed, “That child must be overthinking things! Don’t worry. Leave this to me!”

Edgar was delighted. “Thank you, Sylvia.”

“Mm–hmm.” Sylvia nodded, her expression turning serious. “But you have to promise me you’re serious about Sherilyn.”

She glanced at Gilbert. “You’re not just playing with her feelings, and you’re not bothered by her past.”

“Sylvia” Edgar was flustered, “Of course, I’m serious!” This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Embarrassed, he glanced at Gilbert. “I don’t care about her past. I want her present and her future!”

“That’s my boy?” Sylvia was over the moon. “Good boy, I trust you.”

Since she really dug into Edgar’s background after the birthday party, she made sure he was totally solid and upstanding

“Give Sherilyn some time,” Sylvia advised, “Try to understand her. From her perspective, there are many concerns, especially with someone as

outstanding as you.”

“Sylvia.” Edgar nodded solemnly, “I will. I know what to do.”

“Grandma….” Gilbert tried to interrupt.

“Wait your turn.” Sylvia wasn’t interested in hearing him out yet, “Don’t you see I’m talking to Edgar?”

“Sylvia.” Edgar stood up with a smile. I’ve got to go now.”

“Okay then.” Sylvia didn’t hold him back, feeling they had covered enough ground for the day. “Thank your mother for me, and take care on your way

out.”

“Will do, Sylvia.” Edgar left with his heart full of joy.

Sylvia was just as joyful. She glanced at Gilbert, saying, “Go have your breakfast. Why are you still standing there?”

“Grandma.” At this point, Gilbert had lost his appetite, furrowing his brows in frustration as if someone owed him money, “Don’t bother to play matchmaker. They’re not right for each other.”

“Why not?” Sylvia stopped, giving him a scrutinizing look. “Don’t tell me Sherilyn isn’t good enough for Edgar! Try saying that!”

“Huh.” Gilbert scoffed with a cynical laugh, “Grandma, Sherilyn deserves better!”
