Sylvia's eyes widened in shock. She couldn't believe what she saw.
The person on the document was actually Maddox.
Therefore, after looking around with Kimberly for such a long time, the person they wanted to find was actually Maddox.
Kimberly's child's father was right beside her, but she was clueless. Including Maddox himself.
How could this be?
"Swish!"
The sound of the water in the bathroom stopped abruptly. Sylvia came to her senses at once. Quill had finished bathing. If she stayed here any longer, she would definitely be found out.
Thinking of this, Sylvia put the document back into the envelope rapidly. Unfortunately, she was in a hurry. After the document was secure, she accidentally knocked over the phone on the table with her elbow.
Bang!
The noise of the phone falling on the ground could be heard very clearly and she was startled. She immediately scurried back to pick it up. When she was about to place it on the table, Quill opened the bathroom door.
Sylvia froze and turned around, looking towards the bathroom. Quill had finished his bath. His firm body was still covered with crystal clear drops of water. His inky hair was a little wet, and a few strands were stuck on his forehead. He stared at Sylvia with his cold, dark eyes.
He didn't say a word. He pursed his thin lips as his gaze fell on her face.
Sylvia's heart was beating fast and she avoided Quill's stare. She definitely had a guilty look on her face.
But she couldn't just stand there like this. Thus, she could only pluck up the courage and greet Quill, "Qui-, Quill..."
Sylvia could hear her voice trembling as she spoke.
Quill remained silent. His gaze gradually lowered and reached her hand.
Sylvia panicked and pulled her hand behind her back. Instantly, she knew it was a wrong move. So, she immediately reached her hand out again and revealed the phone.
"I'm sorry, Quill. I bumped into your phone just now. It fell to the ground. I don't know if it's broken..." Sylvia suppressed the emotions surging in her heart and apologized softly.
Quill wiped his hair with a dry towel indifferently and walked towards her with a few strides. His stern aura pressed onto Sylvia in an instant.
He asked coldly, "Didn't I say that you can't simply go in and out of my room without my permission?"
Hearing this, Sylvia's face blanched.
"Quill, I didn't do it on purpose... I just heard that you were bathing, so I wanted to... come in and wait for you." Speaking of this, Sylvia was so panicked that her eyes were already full of tears. She looked at Quill pitifully and said, "I won't do it again next time. I'll leave now."
Sylvia put down the phone and headed out the door.
However, Quill stopped her, "Wait a minute."
Sylvia stilled and stood where she was in a state of shock.
A sharp gaze fell onto her back. Sylvia heard him asking, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Sylvia blinked, took a deep breath and replied slowly, "Well, it's nothing. You just came back from abroad. I've missed you, so I came to see if you were sleeping. I..." She began to talk incoherently. Sylvia hated hearing herself like this. She had already disguised herself very well, but every time she saw Quill, she was reduced to a blubbering mess. His deep eyes looked like they could read people's minds. She felt that she would be exposed no matter what lies she told.
In addition, she was already guilty. She was even less confident in front of him now.
