I was shocked but then came back to my senses and met Sylvester’s eerie gaze. “Nothing. I just thought it was weird.”
Sylvester smiled when he heard that. “I just cleaned the place. What’s weird about it? You should go back quickly and rest.”
After Sylvester told me who he was, his attitude toward me had also grown colder, probably because he did not need to act anymore.
“Alright, I’m going back now.”
In the end, I entered the room while he watched. He seemed worried I would go wandering around Yard Mansion.
The next day…
I was having breakfast with Rooney.
“Wanda, did you go out yesterday night? It felt empty beside me for a time.”
Rooney asked this, and Sylvester and I looked up.
“Uh, yes. I woke up for a bit,” I replied lightly.
“Why did you wake up in the middle of the night?”
I knew Rooney not asking this with some ulterior motive, but for a moment, I was unable to think of how to word my answer.
Beside her, Sylvester spoke up at this moment, "I might have accidentally woken President Lane when I came back. We bumped into each other when she came out, so we had a night snack together."
"Ah, is that so? You’re a very light sleeper." Rooney believed Sylvester instantly.
"Uh… yeah, that's it."
Once we were done with breakfast, Theo also arrived.
Sylvester and Rooney wanted to send me off, but I refused them.
On the one hand, I did not think it was necessary. On the other, it was out of selfishness that I did not want Rooney to meet Theo.
This was probably due to the jealousy I had for other women. Rooney was so beautiful, and I had no confidence when I stood next to her.
