Chapter 469 Lela, Has Sylvester Ever Bullied You?
Moreover, Lela's appearance... Among all this, just thinking about it carefully, no... Alvin didn't dare to think further.
Alvin pursed his lips and looked down at Lela's arm, where there was a bruise, clearly from being pinched by someone.
Alvin almost choked, his hand gradually clenched into a fist.
Alvin looked down, clenched his fist, and tried to suppress the anger in his heart, his eyes showing a cold glint.
After a while, Alvin finally raised his eyes. The moment he looked at Lela, his eyes immediately softened. "Lela, Mr. Gomez isn't your relative after all. This weekend, I'll bring a gift to visit him and express my gratitude. After that, why don't you come home with me?"
Lela's eyes remained firm. She looked at Alvin, blinked, and shook her head. "No, Uncle Alvin. I like Sylvester. I want to stay with him."
Sylvester was her light, her salvation. She would never leave Sylvester in this life.
Alvin thought, 'Lela is indeed deceived by Sylvester.'
Alvin tried to suppress his anger and didn't want to destroy Lela's dreams. Instead, he patiently asked, "Lela, are you really so certain about this Sylvester?"
Lela nodded heavily. "Yes. Uncle Alvin, do you remember I told you about my background?"
Hearing this, Alvin felt a pang in his heart. He nodded heavily. "I remember."
Lela continued, "I escaped, and it was Sylvester who saved my life. I fell in love with him at first sight."
Lela stopped there, not continuing to explain that she had used some means to get close to Sylvester.
Alvin didn't expect this reason and was momentarily at a loss for words.
He murmured, "It's rare that the devil has such a side."
Lela defended Sylvester firmly. "Sylvester is not a devil."
Hearing Lela call Sylvester so intimately, Alvin was helpless. "Okay, he's not a devil."
Lela said, "Uncle Alvin is so good."
Alvin chuckled, looking up at the strikingly beautiful Lela, his eyes filled with worry again.
If someone else had sponsored Lela, he wouldn't think this way, but since it was Sylvester, he was inexplicably worried, afraid that Sylvester would bully Lela. He feared that Lela would end up like his another little niece, Flora, becoming a plaything under the hands of the powerful.
Alvin said, "Lela... you are already eighteen; you are an adult. I respect your decision, and I don't want to destroy the beauty in your heart. But I want to ask you a question, and you must answer me truthfully."
Lela nodded obediently. "Go ahead."
Alvin glanced at the bruise on Lela's arm, suppressing the anger in his chest, and asked in a deep voice, "Has Sylvester ever bullied you?"
Lela blinked her beautiful eyes and shook her head. "No, Sylvester never bullied me."
Alvin's fingers clenched so tightly they made a cracking sound. He took a deep breath, raised his chin, and gestured to Lela's arm. "Then where did this injury come from?"
Lela looked down and immediately knew that Alvin had misunderstood. She raised her arm and said nonchalantly, "It's because I took a fall."
If she told Alvin the real cause of the injury, Alvin might do something.
Dorothy, that fool, didn't need Alvin to take action, and she didn't want to cause conflict between them.
Hearing this, Alvin finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was just afraid that Sylvester would lead Lela astray. As long as the bruise wasn't caused by Sylvester bullying her, it was fine. Lela was still young, innocent, and didn't understand much.
