But how could he know that Ruben and I were together?
At that moment, I received a message and took a quick glance at it.
Tristan: “When you sent me the video, I was with Frederic. He saw it.”
This is too coincidental!
What a coincidence!

“Sylvia, your hot cocoa tastes great!” Ruben ran over with the hot cocoa he had bought, shouting loudly.
Upon hearing Ruben’s words, Frederic immediately said, “You fucking wait for me,” and hung up the phone.
I definitely didn’t listen to him and instead had hot cocoa. Anyway, Frederic is unpredictable, and no one knows why he gets angry.
“Thank you!” I smiled and thanked Ruben.
“You’re welcome, Sylvia,” Ruben’s face turned slightly red, perhaps from the cold or maybe from shyness. Then he -whispered a compliment to me, “You looked really beautiful
today.”
I was delighted because every woman likes to be praised for being beautiful. I felt that the hot cocoa in my hands
became even sweeter.
It was my first time experiencing walking and chatting with boys in the snow while drinking hot cocoa. There were actually many guys pursuing me during my college years, but they all gave up when they found out that Frederic was the person I liked.
So, I hardly experienced any romantic things. And I tried to create romance for Frederic, but he completely ignored it.
After finishing the hot cocoa, I took a car and brought Ruben back to Maple Villa because his Gigi was still at my house and he wanted to take it back.
“What are you doing? Come in!” When we reached my doorstep, Ruben seemed hesitant and reluctant to enter.
At my urging, he changed into a pair of slippers and walked into the spacious and luxurious living room. Regardless of the price of this mansion villa itself, just the decoration here cost over 1 million dollars. I was used to it, but Ruben was not. Clearly, he became even more uneasy, with a look of embarrassment on his face.
Hasn’t Emilia ever been in such a predicament? This is wealth that doesn’t belong to her in the first place, yet a man made it effortlessly accessible to her.
Of course, this wealth was not created by me; I was simply born into a wealthy family.
“Meow!” Gigi saw Ruben coming and exclaimed with delight, then clumsily and excitedly rushed over, jumping
onto Ruben’s lap.
Pudding followed behind and came to my feet, rubbing against them. I quickly picked it up.
Ruben lowered his head and caressed Gigi, then asked, “Sylvia, are you alone at home?”
He wanted to ask if Frederic was at home, right? That was the villain who took away his girlfriend, and also the enemy he could not win.
“Yes. He must have gone on a business trip with your ex- girlfriend,” I admitted. Ruben also knew about Emilia and Frederic’s relationship, so there was no need for me to hide
- it.
When Ruben heard me mention Emilia, he felt a bit sad, after all, she was the girl he had truly loved.
“Shall we have dinner before we leave?” I invited him to have dinner together.
Ruben shook his head, “No, Sylvia, I had to go back to
school.”
“Okay,” I nodded.
“It’s almost winter vacation, and next semester I will start my internship. I might have some free time then, but it’s also possible that I will be even busier than now,” Ruben told me.
I replied, “Sure, if you need any help finding an internship job, just let me know. I will do my best to assist you.”
