Chapter 246

Sylvia’s heart clenched with pain.

If she hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, she wouldn’t have truly realized how much suffering Eder had endured for her in the past, carrying the heavy burden of injuries.

Guilt, self–blame, and sadness filled her.

Her mind was in a chaotic state as Eder led her away from the Grant family, holding her hand.

It wasn’t until they were in the car that she, with her eyes red, resembled a startled little rabbit.

Eder embraced her, kissed her forehead, and spoke with a tinge of self–reproach, “Scared you? It’s all my fault. There’s nothing pleasant about such a bloody scene. I should have let Eric take you out.”

Sylvia’s nose tingled with acidity as she buried her small face into his neck and sobbed softly.

“It’s me who should apologize. I only now realize how much you suffered from the previous whippings. It’s despicable that I didn’t even offer you a word of comfort and instead scolded you. I was truly terrible.”

“Nonsense.”

Eder cupped her tear–stained face and spoke earnestly, “Hitting is love, scolding is affection. If you scold me, it means you love me dearly. I’m so happy about it.”

“What twisted logic was this?” Sylvia knew he was trying to cheer her up, but it didn’t lessen her sense of guilt. Her eyes shimmered with tears.

it’s all in the past. My injuries healed a long time ago, without leaving a scar. I don’t feel any pain at all.”

Eder leaned down, his cold lips patiently kissing away her tears. “Your tears are more precious to me than the black pearls of Notija. Stop crying, or I’ll go bankrupt.”

He successfully made Sylvia laugh. “Smooth talker, who taught you that?”

Eric, who was focused on driving, noticed Sylvia’s gaze and quickly defended himself, “Miss Sylvia, please don’t misunderstand! I’ve never been in a relationship before. I’m a pure and innocent boy!”

“Fine.”

Since he had never been in a relationship, there was no need to make things difficult for the poor, innocent boy.
