Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart

Chapter 724 You Are the Best

Sylvie's father pulled her mother by the hand, put on a reproachful face and told her off. "Stop being

such a gossip. Come on, let's get on the car."

With that he brought her onto the car. Sylvie gave Lucien a look, hinting that he should let go of her

hand, because it was time for her to get on the car.

She had shivered with shock when he had caught her off guard by suddenly holding her hand.

She had no idea what others would feel like, but it's the first relationship she had ever had, so she felt

nervous linking hands with him before her parents, and a little shy too.

Although she did feel great for irritating that woman.

Lucien insisted on paying for the dinner given that it was the father's birthday, so sure enough he chose

the finest restaurant in the place. The excited mother post a photo on Instagram, while the father said

disapprovingly, "Now you're the one who's showing off."

The mother retorted, "How is it showing off? I am just sharing the fact."

With a dirty look at him, she added, "Just shut up if you don't know how to speak right. How could I be

a show-off? When was the last time you saw me do this?"

"I'm just giving that woman a piece of my mind. She's always bitching about our daughter in front of the

neighbors. Don't you know it?"

The father' mouth was shut, as told by his experience when a woman was scolding.

Sylvie felt helpless about her parents, while Lucien secretly squeezed her hand under the table, and

whispered to her ear, "My parents do the same thing. They squabble a lot, but it won't change how

much they love each other."

Sylvie sighed. "I'm just wondering aren't they already past that age to do that."

When finishing her words, she saw her father watching her silently, she soon let go of his hand. She

seemed to feel a hint of displeasure from her father, which likely to be how most fathers would feel

when their daughter had a boyfriend.

They enjoyed the dinner, but when it was about to be over, Sylvie's mother looked at the phone and

said angrily, "That nasty woman called Sylvie a gold-digger, and--"

The latter part seemed to be so mean that she didn't bring herself to read it out.

Sylvie was able to guess it immediately. She casually asked her mother, "And he is just fooling around

with me. Right?

The mother was stunned, surprised to hear her daughter's correct guess.

She then added nonchalantly, "I have heard that hundreds of times. I don't care anymore."

She had expected that kind of judgement from people the moment she started the relationship with

Lucien because who he was, just like what Andrew had done.

When Lucien went to see her on the set last time, people found out about them. Since then, she had

heard more than one discussion about them, especially from those actresses. They were very jealous

of a nobody assistant like her for winning Lucien Fowler's heart.

Fortunately, she was too upbeat to be influenced by those gossips.

Before the mother got to respond, Lucien frowned. He stared at Sylvie and asked, "Hundreds of times?

From whom?"

Because Sylvie had never mentioned it to him before, he had no idea people talked about her like that,

and the only one he knew was Andrew.

Andrew should have started to behaved himself and watch his language. But he didn't know that there

was someone else.

"Let's talk," he said and took her out of the booth.

They found a quiet place at the end of the hallway. Lucien cornered Sylvie against the wall, lowering his

eyes at her, and questioned her solemnly, "What's going on?"

Lucien was always easy-going around her, but at that moment, the way he cornered was overpowering

and formidable, so she had to come clean about how her colleagues described her behind her back.

After finishing, she then comforted him and said, "Actually, I don't really care, so there is no need be

mad about this."

"I may look like an easy-going pushover, but I'm actually very rebellious. The more they think it's not

gonna work, the more I will make it work and piss them off."

Sylvie really didn't care, because she just couldn't control what people say.

What's more, wouldn't we all be exhausted to death if we had our moods swayed by other's words.

Lucien was fumed at the gossips, but then he was amused by the way she called herself rebellious with

a serious face. He raised his eyebrow and asked, "So there is that rebellious side of you?"

Sylvie answered emphatically, "Of course."

Lucien nodded and said, "Don't care about what they say. You are the best in my heart."

Sylvie laughed. "OK."Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.

She hesitated for a second before she put her hands on his waist, whispering, "It's our own life. We live

as how we like it. Don't worry, I won't be upset by what people say about us. If I ever did, I wouldn't

have been with you right now."

"I know."

After dinner, Lucien drove Sylvie and her parents back home, and then he returned to the hotel.

The first thing he did was to call Nina to find out who had been tattling Sylvie.

Nina said, "I have settled it with those bitches."

Nina was not the kind of person who could stand by seeing her friend picked on by others. She had

already paid them back for Sylvie.

But Lucien insisted, "I don't care if you have dealt with them. I just want their names."

"Well, OK, you are supposed to take care of this yourself to show how much you care about Sylvie."

Nina told him the names of those women, which Lucien had noted down with the aim of reckoning with

them afterwards.

They were going to learn it from him to be careful of their words and the people they were gossiping

about.

Having arranged his revenge scheme, he called Sylvie. He missed her already, and dreaded to think

about how he was going to survive after she went to the set with Nina.

Sylvie answered the phone, and to put out feelers, she asked, "Oh, right, do your parents know about

us? What, uh, what did they say?"

She had under great pressure from her mother to ask the question. She even said it would be her turn

to visit his parents next time, which psyched her out.

"Yes, they do. They saw the pictures we posted on the Instagram," said Lucien smilingly, "And my

father said to date someone without wanting to marry them is to go rogue. He and my mother asked

me not to be a rogue, and to cherish you."

Sylvie laughed at his father's humor.
