The tension between them lingered for a few minutes, leaving Sylvia caught in the middle as she observed the two men. Edgar, having lost the effects of 023, appeared to have a slightly stronger aura than Nick, with his eyes carrying an even colder glare. Sylvia found herself at a loss for words, realizing that this situation was reminiscent of their first encounter. She coughed twice, diverting their attention,

and gestured for Nick to look towards the dining room.

In a soft voice, she said, “Brother Nick, take a look. The dishes are ready in the dining room. I’ll wait for you there. I’ve also prepared two bottles of fine red wine. It’s been a while since we had a proper drink together. If I don’t get drunk tonight, I won’t go home.”

“Sounds good,” Nick replied. He withdrew his gaze from his rivalry with Edgar, looked at Sylvia tenderly,

and walked with her to the restaurant to take their seats.

“Sister Sylvia, your culinary skills are truly exceptional. These dishes are delicious. I wasn’t very hungry initially, but now my appetite has improved,” Nick praised.

“I’m glad you like them,” Sylvia replied.

Meanwhile, Edgar remained standing in the stairwell, his eyes fixed on their interaction. Although Sylvia had informed him of her plans for the evening, seeing Nick so joyous and calling out to him still pained his heart. When had he ever received such treatment?

Inside the restaurant, Sylvia smiled and pursed her lips. Nick reached out to pour the wine but was stopped by her.

“Sister Sylvia, you have a servant here. Let her fulfill her duties. Why bother pouring the wine yourself?” Nick said.

Sylvia’s expression faltered for a moment before returning to a smile. She placed the red wine down and glanced towards the stairwell.

“Edgar, come here,” she called.

Nick smirked, sitting up straight as though he had grown accustomed to this dynamic over the years. Edgar approached them, and Nick looked at Sylvia’s face with a slightly startled tone, saying, “Sister Sylvia, it seems there’s something on your face. Let me wipe it for you.”

Sylvia remained motionless as Nick’s affectionate gaze met Edgar’s cold one. Before his hand could reach her face, Edgar tightly grasped Nick’s wrist.

His face contorted In a gloomy expression as he managed to squeeze out a few words through gritted teeth. Nick raised his head, sneering, “It’s not up to you to decide what I want to do.”
