Nine months too late: After divorce by Baby Charlene

Chapter 85

FOUR MONTHS LATER.

Sylvie stood before the mirror-black knee-length dress, black heels, silver purse.

Her hair and makeup were perfect-thanks to Cindy.

She had diamond pieces on her neck and ears. She was supposed to look 'beautiful', yet for some reason, she found it difficult feeling that way.

"I'm telling you, you look great!" Cindy who was gathering her things from the table said for what felt like the hundredth time. "I seriously don't know what is wrong with you. Trust me, nobody at that event will be beating your looks, Sylvie." "Oh, can you stop?" Sylvie rolled her eyes, touching the back of her neck nervously.

Hopefully, that wouldn't happen as she had too many precious things in the room. Her heart quickened as I as he approached her, staring at her with such tenderness that always made her weak in the bone "Hey," he took her hand, kissing her knuckles.

Cindy cleared her throat, a smile on her face as she picked up her already packed bag. "I'll leave now, Sylvie. I'll check up on you later."

For the first time since he walked in, Sylvie looked away from Kage and at Cindy. "Thanks a lot."

"Goodluck," Cindy mouthed to her before finally leaving.
