GoodReadChapter 142- A while later, Sylvie was pressed and had to use the restroom.
She frowned as she washed her hands, an angry vein even popping up in her forehead.

Kage remained silent, until Sylvie turned around, being done with her hands.

"Are you trying to limit the people I associate with?" She arched herm brows, stopping herself in tfrom scoffing.
"I have no business with the people you mingle with. This very one just happens to be an acquaintance, and I'm telling you to stay away from him."
She fisted her hands beside her, deciding to say nothing. Otherwise, she might say the wrong words. She started toward the exit, walking past him, but stopped when she was sinches away.
"Did you-" she faced him. “-ever wonder what happened with the kids?"
