Chapter 223
Brook truly envied Eric. Despite being Sylvia's elder brother and having strong blood ties, he never received such treatment.Eric raised an eyebrow. "If you were like this, Misty would probably take care of you in the same way."This statement deeply affected Brook. His eyes lit up as he asked, "Eric, when you hang out with Uncle Irvin for a drink, can you say something positive about me?"As Eric was about to respond, Sylvia interrupted, "Brook, consider Eric's condition. Can he still drink with all those injuries? Are you willing to disregard his well-being for your happiness? Can't you wait a bit longer?"She added, "Aren't you capable enough to win Misty over without seeking Eric's help? This doesn't seem like your usual style, Brook."Brook was at a loss. He had postponed so many things for their sake for the past few days.Misty refused to accept his calls and messages, and he could not wait any longer. "But…" Brook sighed, "I had to cancel many dates with Misty several

Sylvia was surprised and kept her distance from Eric. It was difficult for her to believe he was still thinking about such things while nursing injuries. Furthermore, she wasn't ready for that, despite their reconciliation. She might not be angry anymore, but she certainly wasn't prepared yet.Eric looked puzzled. "What's wrong? I'm not going to devour you. You took a solid elbow from that fighter. I just want to check it out. Don't worry. I can control myself."He ended up with a bruise after taking an elbow strike, not to mention Sylvia.Sylvia stuck out her tongue, realizing she had jumped to conclusions. She turned away from Eric and removed her clothes, showing her flawless, pale skin. Eric was at a loss for words and swallowed hard. His throat went dry as he admired her.As Eric had yet to say anything, Sylvia asked nervously, "What's wrong?"Eric exhaled and shifted his gaze away from her. He noticed a bruise on her back as well. He picked up the medicine she had prepared

Eric became excited. After all, his injuries would only take a few days to heal.That night, he slept soundly and had nothing but pleasant dreams.When he woke up early, Sylvia had already prepared the medicine.After changing his bandages, Eric said, "Let's change yours too."Sylvia blushed and replied, "No need! I'm not in pain anymore! Seriously, it doesn't hurt at all!"Eric was rendered speechless. It seemed like he had scared Sylvia quite a bit last night.After breakfast, Sylvia suggested visiting Elly. She had already messaged and reassured her about Eric's involvement in the underground arena.Knowing Elly had two kids to look after, Sylvia didn't want her to stress over Eric too much. With their issues resolved, it was time to see Elly.Sylvia had sent Elly a message earlier, telling her not to ask about anything and to act as if nothing had occurred.Even now, Elly remained clueless about Eric's whereabouts over the past two days. She was simply relieved that he had

Sylvia understood Eric was playfully teasing her, so she chose to stay silent. She even thought that Eric could focus on martial arts instead of worrying about his company.Being a martial arts expert held great importance in their family, which was why they had paid a high price to bring Tyson back. Parents felt secure when their kids learned self-defense techniques. Plus, Eric's unique martial arts talent seemed underutilized in the corporate world.Nevertheless, Sylvia respected Eric's choice. If he wanted to run a company, she would fully support him.Not much had occurred at Elly's place in the past few days. The car accident case was still in the trial phase. Gavin hadn't shown up after his last visit, presumably because he was busy raising funds. Emily had also compensated Elly with 8,000 dollars after her release.Initially, Elly had reservations about accepting the money, considering Emily was the kids' aunt. However, Andy explained it was intended as compensation for the

Eric had already planned to spend his life with Sylvia, so meeting the Williams was inevitable. Since he was still recovering from his injuries, he saw today as a good opportunity.After they finished shopping, it was already noon.Sylvia had also purchased cosmetics and clothes. The cosmetics were for Elly, and the clothes were for her parents-in-law. She removed the price tags beforehand, knowing Blake and Melinda might find them too expensive. After all, older folks often watched their spending.Sylvia thought that now that Eric knew her true identity, it was time to show respect to her in-laws.Blake and Melinda couldn't stop smiling when they saw the brand-new clothes. It was the first time their daughter-in-law had given them gifts, and they were overjoyed.Sylvia said, "Dad, Mom, and Elly, I couldn't reveal my relationship with Eric earlier for certain reasons. I'm sorry if I've slighted you all."Blake quickly said, "Sylvia, don't say you're sorry for anything. We're alre

Henry envied Irvin. The latter had shared drinks with Eric, but Henry hadn't. He had planned to enjoy a few drinks tonight, but it seemed unlikely now.Given their high social status in Salt City, Eric had expected to feel nervous when he visited the Williams. To his surprise, he felt comfortable.This encounter changed his view of upper-class families. To him, they appeared no different from regular people.Eric also noticed that the Williams genuinely cared for Sylvia. This favoritism was why they didn't object when Sylvia wanted to marry him. Additionally, Irvin approved of Eric. Since Irvin was willing to become his sworn brother, Eric couldn't be all that bad.-Eric and Sylvia finally left after 9:00 p.m.Before departing, Amelia gave him a gift with a bank card inside, and Henry did the same.Eric hesitated, but Sylvia accepted them on his behalf."These are gifts from my parents, so you should accept them. Besides, we're legally married now," Sylvia said.Eric finally

Sylvia snorted. "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. Not tonight! You've gotta wait for another month!" "What?!" Eric was stunned.'I have to wait for another month?! How am I going to survive that?!'Sylvia said, "You've waited for 29 years. Can't you wait for just one more month?"Eric pouted. "Well… It's hard… I feel like crying…""Crying?" Sylvia scoffed. "You have someone taking care of you every day, and you're still not satisfied?"She finished wrapping the bandages and said, "Alright, it's done. Stop thinking about all those things. Until you're healed, there's no chance! It's for your own good! If you aggravate your injury, it'll be challenging to recover!"Eric sighed, convinced that no man in the world could resist spending their days with someone as beautiful as Sylvia. When he saw Sylvia lock the door upon entering the room, he knew he had no chance. He had even planned to sneak in around midnight.-The night passed, and the next day arrived. At 10:

Eric did not want to waste his time on Jasmine. In the afternoon, he had to go to the Williams for lunch.Irvin arrived a little earlier than them. As the leaders of the two prominent families in Salt City, their interactions were quite frequent. Although Henry had temporarily delegated authority in recent years, Irvin knew it was just his way to groom the next Williams generation.If Sylvia and Sylvester could manage Williams Corp. well and take it to greater heights, Henry would have nothing to worry about. He could let his son and daughter manage the company. However, if neither Sylvia nor Sylvester proved capable, Henry would definitely step in and take control of Williams Corp. immediately.Irvin admired Henry's willingness to entrust Sylvia with leadership responsibilities, something he couldn't bring himself to do. Instead, he chose to mentor Keith and allow him to accumulate more experience, avoiding granting him complete control over the entire company. Irvin lacked the c
