Sweet Revenge

Chapter 229

Chapter 229 She Is My Fiancée 
Silvia really did not expect that the youth she had been looking for would be in her own courtyard.
He didn’t seem to have changed much, but his eyes were not as bright as before. He looked a little dull.
“I guess people came here today for the same reason,” he glanced in the direction of the banquet building and said indifferently.
Silvia wondered if he meant that he was here also to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday.
“Then why aren’t you in the hall?”
Charles looked at her. “Aren’t you the same?”
Silvia was rendered speechless.
Although he looked depressed, Charles was still brutally frank, just like he used to be.
“You still haven’t explained it to me. Why did you suddenly give up? You had agreed to it, but then you didn’t answer the phone or text messages. Where is your professional ethics?” Silvia finally saw Charles and said the words she had suppressed in her heart.
However, hearing this, Charles’s eyes dimmed again. He did not explain and only said vaguely, “I have my reasons.
“Besides, didn’t I make it for you and send it over? I did it for free. We can call it even.” Charles casually put his hands in his pockets and wore a blue down jacket. The light blue color matched his age. Standing in the clean snow, he looked very fresh.
Silvia shook her head. “What are you talking about? Let me ask you. Where is my wood?”
As she spoke, Silvia extended her hand toward Charles.
She asked Charles for a small piece of wood, which he had at that time. Charles agreed, and Silvia brought a small piece of wood back. Its special fragrance was attractive to her.
“No.” His answer was also very straightforward.
“You…”
She still wanted to say something, but footsteps came from not far away, accompanied by shouts, “Charles.”
It was the name of the youth. When Charles heard this voice, his expression changed subtly. He looked a little nervous and a little impatient.
Seeing Charles, the man was about to call him again when he noticed that there was someone else. So he stopped abruptly and approached Charles.
He first glanced at Charles, who had not turned around, and then looked at Silvia.
It was a mature and steady middle-aged man. He looked a little old, and he had a good figure at his age, even though he was a little chubby. The man was in good spirits, and his eyes were particularly sharp. He looked at people with a judgmental gaze. When Silvia met his gaze, she subconsciously shivered.
“Why did you come out?” he asked Charles.
Although the man saw Silvia, he had no intention of greeting her. Silvia didn’t care about it, but she was a little curious about this man’s identity.
“It’s stuffy inside. I came out to take a breather,” Charles replied, but he didn’t turn to look at the man.
“Is it done? Can we go in now?” His voice was low and dignified, with the pressure from elders.
After a pause, he added, “Your uncles are inside. Don’t be so reckless and lose your rules.”
Charles did not speak, but he had already turned around. It seemed that he was obedient, but the look he gave Silvia before he left was very helpless.
Perhaps it was Charles’s gaze, or perhaps it was the middle-aged man’s tone that made Silvia uncomfortable. Silvia said before she could think, “Wait, you haven’t finished speaking!”
She finally caught the attention of the middle-aged man. He stopped and turned around, his eyes locked on her.
His gaze was piercing and freezing. He ran his eyes over Silvia. It seemed that her action had displeased him.
In fact, the moment he looked over, Silvia felt a chill down her spine. However, when she thought that she had nothing to do with this man, she felt she shouldn’t be afraid of him.
Then, Silvia was a lot more confident. She straightened her back and looked straight at the man.
He probably did not expect a little girl to be so bold. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes. He frowned slightly and opened his mouth to speak, but he was interrupted.
“Mr. Petersen.” Simon, who had been watching from a distance, walked up to Silvia and stood still.
When he saw Simon, the man, Declan Petersen, was stunned. “Simon?”
“I didn’t see you earlier. I thought you sent someone else this year.” Simon said naturally, “I didn’t expect to see Mr. Petersen here.”
“The heavy snow came a little late.” Declan nodded slightly. He was also polite to Simon. After all, he ignored Silvia just now.
Simon smiled and turned to look at Charles. “This is…”!
Declan turned sideways and tugged at Charles’s sleeve. “This is my son, Charles Petersen. Charles, this is Warin’s president, Mr. Palmer. You can call his name, Simon.”
Hearing this, Silvia widened her eyes.
She thought, Charles Charles Petersen from the Petersen family?
Could it be the Petersen family from New York?
Judging from how familiar Declan was with Simon, and the fact that Declan could come to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday, Silvia believed Declan was from the Petersen family in New York
It was shocking. Charles loved wood carving. He had a little temper but was also a little cute. Silvia never thought that he came from the Petersen family of New York
Silvia thought, what a small world!
Charles looked at Simon, his lips moving as he said, “Mr. Palmer.”
It was obvious that he was not used to Simon’s name.
Simon did not care about Charles’s way of addressing him. He smiled and nodded, but Declan was unhappy. He glared at Charles.
“Mr. Palmer, the banquet has begun. Why don’t we take a seat first?” Declan said as he pulled at Charles’s sleeve. “Let’s go!”
However, before Declan could touch his sleeve, Charles withdrew his hand and avoided Declan’s touch. He looked very reluctant, which made Declan’s face darken. He was about to get angry.
“Mr. Petersen,” silvia said.
She thought she could call Declan in the same way as Simon. “I’m sorry, but I still have something to talk about with Charles. Can you let him go back later?”
“You are…” Declan frowned. He had no impression of Silvia’s face, and he could not remember who she was.
“She is my … fiancée.” Simon raised his hand and pulled Silvia into his embrace.
He originally wanted to say “wife”, but finally he changed it.
But even so, it left Declan and Charles stunned.
“Fiancée?”
