Chapter 623Sylvia continued to purse her lips as she stayed silent.

Thomas suddenly laughed out loud, the sound of his laughter was soft but full of satisfaction. Immediately after that, he pulledSylvia into his arms. He did it very gently, as if Sylvia was a precious vase that was extremely fragile. Sylvia was not used tobeing in such close contact with him and instinctively felt the urge to push him away. However, the moment she touched him shecould feel the abnormal heat emanating from his body.

He was still feverish.

Frowning, she drew her hand back. After allowing him to hold her for a while, she insisted again, “Thomas, it’s time for you torest.”

“Alright.” He promptly drew away upon hearing this, then he stroked her head gently and spoke softly, “I'll go to sleep now. Youshould head back to your room to rest as well.”

“Hmm,” Sylvia answered and walked out.

As she stepped outside, she turned to close the door and stole a glance at him while doing so.He had already returned to the bed and was looking at her softly.

Sylvia pursed her lips at him, then closed the door.

The room fell silent.

Thomas leaned back against the head of the bed and continued to stare absent-mindedly in the direction of where Sylvia hadbeen. He smiled. Meanwhile, inside his bathroom , the shower head had not been shut properly the entire time. Thus, a smallstream of water slowly continued to flow out of it and onto the floor. The slow, steady current of water flowed into the drain andthen into the pipes.

The temperature inside the bathroom was still as cool as it was before. The current of water remained uninterrupted and kept thetemperature inside constant, without any heat.

Probably because she had slept late the night before, Sylvia ended up waking up an hour later than usual the next day.Neither Isabel nor Liam were in their room.

Sylvia quickly washed up and went to the living room.

She had only taken several steps out of her bedroom when she heard laughter coming from downstairs.

She could also smell the distinctive aroma of her favorite street food.

It smelled like the breakfast that she usually bought from the roadside stalls that she loved eating.

Her mouth watered at the thought and Sylvia quickened her pace as she made her way to the living room.

Isabel was playing with a remote control race car. When she noticed Sylvia coming down, she immediately cried out joyously,“Mom! Uncle bought a lot of delicious food for us and even got us a brand new latest model race car!”

Sylvia froze and looked across the living room.

Sitting on the couch next to the floor-to-ceiling windows was a man in a loose gray sweater. He was sitting there in a princely,dignified manner. Holding a book in his hand, he subtly turned his head to look at Sylvia when he heard Isabel's enthusiasticshouts and his lips curved into a faint smile.

The morning light shone through the window illuminated his fair-complexioned face. His smile seemed luminescent as well.Sylvia froze for a moment before asking him suspiciously, “Thomas, did you go out?”

Thomas answered, “I went out earlier this morning to run some errands, then | bought these on the way back.”

There was a wavering look in Sylvia's eyes as she remembered how ill he had been the previous night. She drew closer andasked, “Are you feeling better?”

Thomas put his book down, got up, and walked over to her.

They closed the gap between each other very quickly and got closer than they usually did. If they were to take just half a stepmore, they would practically be stuck together.

Sylvia’s breath stalled and she tried to draw herself backward.

However, he was faster than her. He touched her head with his hand and greeted her in a pleasant voice, “I’m feeling muchbetter. Let's have something to eat.”

Sylvia felt her cheeks burn when she remembered their conversation the night before about his intention to pursue her. Shemerely murmured, “Ok.”

She walked with him to the table.Aunt Tonya, Isabel, and Liam had already had breakfast.

At the moment, Aunt Tonya was busy outside. Liam was sitting next to Isabel as he read a book, while Isabel was having thetime of her life playing with her new race car.

Thus, it was just Sylvia and Thomas at the table.

Upon sitting down, Thomas pushed several dishes over to Sylvia.
