Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert)

Chapter 46

Brewing the coffee, Sylvia carried it to the living room.

It was a rare occasion to have so many people gathered, feeling cheerful and warm. Even Tristan, who usually had a serious expression, couldn't help but smile a bit more today. After serving the coffee, Sylvia stood behind Naomi and Edwin, continuing to play her role as someone who could easily go unnoticed.

Just then, Rupert entered, with a noticeable coffee stain on his collar.

Fiona exclaimed, "Rupert, you're always so neat. How did you get your shirt dirty?"

Rupert sat down, took a sip of his coffee, and glanced at Sylvia before replying indifferently, "A cat rubbed against me."

Fiona took a sip of her coffee and chuckled, "That cat must be quite something, bumping into your mouth, huh?"

Rupert blew on his coffee and nodded slightly.

"Yeah. Strong thing."

As Sylvia heard this, her head drooped, her face flushing consecutively.

After some idle chat, Tristan announced it was time for his afternoon nap, prompting everyone to prepare to leave.
