"Thank you, Aunt Mia!" While worrying about Jayden, Silvia did not have the mood to joke around with Mia. She went straight to the point and asked the question that she wanted to know the most, "Aunt Mia, how is Jayden?"
"Oh! Jayden? With so many doctors around, he'll be fine." Mia did not know what kind of lies the two kids had told Silvia to lure her here, nor did she know the conflict between Silvia and Jayden. Therefore, she spilled the beans as soon as she spoke.
However, to Silvia, it seemed like Mia was saying that to comfort her. "Aunt Mia, you don't have to lie to me. Just tell me the truth."
Silvia had already thought it through on the way to Chatterton Town. No matter what Jayden had become, as long as he was still alive, she would take good care of him and would never abandon him again.
She wouldn't care even if he still had feelings for someone else!
Or even if he still regarded her as a substitute.
Silvia used to be so proud and arrogant that she could not bear to accept any imperfection. However, she was now willing to lower herself because she had truly fallen in love with someone.
"I'm not comforting you. I'm telling the truth." Mia led Silvia into the car and instructed the driver to start driving. She then said, "Silva, since you're here in Chatterton Town, you should stay longer. The weather here is lovely. A lot of people come here for their winter vacations."
Silvia did not know what to say.
Jayden was already so ill, Silvia wondered how could Mia still smile and talk about going on a vacation? Was she always as cool as a cucumber? Or she had never cared about Jayden?
Silvia suddenly thought of what Karen had said to her about Jayden being an adopted child of the Kyle family. Perhaps, that was the reason his relatives did not really care for him.
However, Silvia quickly dismissed this thought in her mind. The Kyle family were very close with each other, how could she question their bond?
"Silvia, why are you so quiet? Is there nothing much to talk about with me?" Being a cheerful and extroverted person, Mia could start a conversation with others easily. She could even chat with someone she liked for endless nights.
Silvia smiled and said, "Well, I figure I'd just listen to you since I'm not familiar with Chatterton Town."
Silvia's words were just pleasantries but Mia didn't realize it at all. She started talking again, "I've been living in Chatterton Town for many years. I'm not the most familiar person with this place but I know it quite well. You've found the right person if you want to learn more about the customs and culture in Chatterton Town."
"Alright," Silvia responded with a smile.
"Chatterton Town has already become a global financial center. The headquarters of the Rovio Corporation Inc is located here. I can bring you there for a tour anytime you want to." Silvia was already a member of the Kyle family and might become the hostess of Rovio Corporation Inc eventually. Hence, Mia thought that getting her familiar with the company would be helpful for Jayden after he took over Rovio in the future.
"Can we visit such a large corporation as we please?" Silvia responded casually, not intending to get a reply from Mia.
