Translator: 549690339

Sylvia Thompson held Mary Perryne’s hand tightly, ‘You can rest assured, we will definitely find my sister soon.”

“Yes.” Mary nods.

Sylvia continued: “By the way, you said you were looking for me for something?”

Mary Perryne then remembered the matter at hand, “It’s actually not a big deal.’

Speaking of this, Mary hesitated for a moment and carefully chose her words, “Sylvia, you’re a grown-up girl now. As the saying goes, a grown-up son should avoid his mother, and a grown-up daughter should avoid her father. In the future, when you get along with your brothers, you have to be more careful not to give others a chance to gossip and say that our family is not well-mannered.’

Mrs. Thompson had just scolded Sawyer Thompson.

Sawyer, being a father, didn’t want to have a direct conversation with Sylvia, so he sent Mary instead.

At this moment, Sawyer Thompson was in Edward Thompson’s room.

Mary hadn’t noticed these things either.

But since Mrs. Thompson pointed it out, it should be taken seriously.

Upon hearing this, a dark cloud passed through Sylvia’s downcast eyes.

Was it because she and Edward were a bit closer?

She and Edward were brother and sister.

It was normal for siblings to be close.

Did the Thompson Family need to overreact like this?

If she were Mary’s own flesh and blood, would this issue still exist?

Ridiculous.

Sylvia wanted to look up and ask Mary.

Did she really treat her like her own daughter?

Although she was upset, Sylvia didn’t show it, and just said: “Alright, Mom, I understand. I’ll be more careful in the future.’

Mary also knew that Sylvia was unhappy and comforted her, “Sylvia, your grandmother is actually doing this for your own good. There should be limits to the intimacy between siblings, and the line should never be crossed, no matter when.’

Though Mrs. Thompson usually didn’t like Sylvia, she never targeted her or nitpicked her faults.

Sylvia nodded, “1 know, Mom, I know that Grandma is looking out for me.” Seeing Sylvia like this, Mary nodded reassuringly, “Sylvia, as long as you think this way, I’ll be at ease.”

She was worried that Sylvia wouldn’t come to terms with it.

After talking with Sylvia, Mary got up to leave, “Sylvia, you should rest early,

I’m going first.”

“Mhm, Mom, goodnight.” Sylvia stood up to send Mary off.

Just as Mary stepped out of the room, it was like she remembered something, she turned back to look at Sylvia, “By the way, Sylvia, have you heard any news from your sister lately?”

Sylvia felt that Mary was deliberately trying to humiliate her.

As the mistress of this family, it was impossible for Mary not to know about Mandel Thompson trying to find Viola as well.

Knowing this, why did she have to come and ask her hypocritically? Why couldn’t she just ask Mandel directly?-

Sylvia kept her composure and said, “No news of my sister yet, but don’t worry, I have been working hard to find her.”

Mary looked at Sylvia, “Sylvia, I appreciate your efforts.”

“l am just doing what 1 should be doing,” Sylvia replied.

Mary was very reassured and turned to leave.

Looking at Mary’s departing figure, Sylvia squinted her eyes.

How…

Upsetting.

She had always treated Mary as her biological mother.

But Mary seemed to be on guard against her, testing her…

Sylvia took a deep breath.

Mary returned to her room.

Sawyer hadn’t returned yet, probably because he had hit a snag in Edward’s room.

Mary didn’t give it much thought; she sat down at the dressing table and began to take off her jewelry.

By the time Mary finished grooming herself, Sawyer finally walked in.

“How did it go?” Mary turned to ask.

Sawyers face was filled with fatigue, “That damned boy needs to be disciplined! ”

Edward might be afraid of Mrs. Thompson, but that doesn’t mean he was afraid of Sawyer.

For every point Sawyer made, Edward would argue back, bombarding situational reasoning that left Sawyer struggling to keep up.

Mary applied skincare products on her face with a smile, “This just proves that daughters are easier to raise. A daughter is a mother’s confidante.” “Did Sylvia say anything?” asked Sawyer.

“No,” Mary continued, “Her attitude in acknowledging the problem is quite good. ”

Sawyer massaged his temple, tired and looking somewhat upset.

He was wondering.

Was his Viola just as considerate and understanding?

Mary turned to look back, and continued, “Have you noticed that Mom has been targeting Sylvia lately?”

Sawyer nodded.

Mary furrowed her eyebrows slightly, “Can you talk to Mom about it? Maybe next time, she shouldn’t treat Sylvia like this. Although Sylvia is not our biological daughter, she has been no different from our own child all these years.. The way Mom treats her, isn’t it a bit unfair?”
