Chapter 227

Rupert pulled out his phone, the screen flashing with the name "Bridget."

He got up and walked to the balcony, turning his back on Sylvia so she couldn't see his expression.

Just moments ago, he was the man who couldn't hold back his emotions, but now he seemed indifferent.

Yet, when he spoke to Bridget, his voice was gentle. "Yeah, I'm here."

After hanging up, Rupert dressed quickly and left without even glancing at Sylvia, offering no explanation.

She knew Rupert's heart was with Bridget.

She opened the door to find the delivery guy.

"Sorry, miss, I'm a bit late."

"No worries," Sylvia replied with a smile.

The delivery guy looked startled. "Miss, if you're upset, you don't have to force a

smile. Oh, and your leg is bleeding."
