"Yes yes! I understand. I won't lie to you anymore," Levi nodded. "Sister Silvia, you are obviously worried about Jayden. Why are you not willing to stay with him?"
Why?
It's because...
Silvia could not find a way to tell the kids the real reason.
After pondering for a while, she chose an excuse that all adults loved to use, "Levi, you are still too young. Don't ask so much. You won't understand anyway."
Silvia might be able to dismiss the matter easily had been another child. However, she was dealing with a quirky child. Levi was very smart and quick-witted, such a lame excuse would not be able to brush him off.
"Sister Silvia, I'm already eleven years old. I'm no longer a three- year- old child. There's nothing I won't be able to understand," Levi remarked seriously. "I know. It must be that my brother returned to Chatterton Town without informing you, so you're mad at him."
"Why would you think so?" It had been some time since Silvia had last seen Jayden. She had been busy preparing for her exams and had not paid attention to news related to Jayden. Before Julien's phone call, she didn't even know that Jayden had returned to Chatterton Town.
"Stop denying it, Sister Silvia." Levi pointed at his own head and said, "I'm smart. Nothing can escape from my sight."
"Really? Can you tell me why Aunt Karen was reluctant to let me see your brother now?" Silvia had come up with a few possibilities. However, she couldn't determine the exact reason.
"Well, it's because Jayden doesn't want to see you." Levi proceeded to tell Silvia everything that he had overheard, "After picking you up from the airport, Mom had sent a message to Aunt Karen. However, after Aunt Karen told Jayden about it, he didn't say a word.”
"Why?" Silvia asked.
"When Aunt Karen asked him what's wrong, she waited for a long time before she got an answer. He only said four words." Feeling that it was not enough to just convey in words, Levi mimicked Jayden's expression and continued, "I won't see her!"
"I see." In fact, this reason was one of the possibilities among Silvia's guesses. Now that she heard the truth with her own ears, she couldn't help feeling upset.
Silvia had always known that she had fallen in love with Jayden. Nevertheless, she felt that her feelings toward him had not reached the extent where she could not live without him. Without him, her life remained the same as before and she was not affected at all.
It was not until Julien's phone call that she figured out that she was so wrong. The moment when she heard that Jayden was about to die and that she would never see him again, she felt as if her world had collapsed.
It was also at that time that she realized that Jayden was much more important to her than she had imagined. He was the love of her life.
He didn't love her in the past as there was someone else in his heart. However, the past was the past. Silvia was now his wife. She shouldn't have run away when something unpleasant happened. Instead, she should let him see the good in her. She would make sure that she was the only one in Jayden's heart..
Jayden was perfect, but Silvia thought that she was not too bad herself. They were a good match after all.
"Sister Silvia, I don't think that Jaydon really doesn't want to see you. He is a stubborn man who likes to hide his feelings and not share them. I can assure you that he cares about you very much." Levi was full of confidence. He seemed to be able to figure out Jayden's mind easily.
