Magdalen climbed into the car and immediately called Estelle. The phone rang until it was nearly about to go to voicemail before Estelle finally picked up. “What is it?”
Magdalen sounded frustrated. “I got so caught up in things that I completely lost track of time. I didn’t interrupt you and Jonathan, did I?”
Estelle’s voice was a little hoarse. “Just tell me what’s going on.”
Magdalen couldn’t help laughing, but after the chuckle, worry crept across her face. “I just ran into Sylvia outside 9th Mansion. She was with Mr. Winters, and they looked pretty close.”
Estelle and Magdalen knew each other too well; she immediately understood what Magdalen was getting at. Her tone grew more serious. “Magdalen, Sylvia has every right to choose who she wants to be with.”
Magdalen hesitated before replying, “I know, I just— It’s hard for me to accept. The two of them seemed perfect together, and I really believe Gab has feelings for Sylvia too.”
Estelle’s voice was calm. “My brother’s sense of responsibility toward Silver Valley has always outweighed his feelings. Sylvia knows this. If he never comes back, is she supposed to just wait for him forever?”
Magdalen sighed, regretful. “You’re right. I get it.”
Estelle asked, “You didn’t give Sylvia, or Mr. Winters, a hard time, did you?”
“Of course not Sylvia, but I was a bit prejudiced. I guess I blamed Eugene for coming between her and Gab, so I was a little cold to him,” Magdalen admitted honestly.
Estelle’s voice was quiet. “Don’t do that next time. Don’t put Sylvia in a tough spot.”
Magdalen exhaled. “Alright, I won’t.”
“You heading home?” Estelle asked.
“On the way.” Magdalen slumped against Morrison’s shoulder. “Go see Jonathan. I’m hanging up now.”
“Okay.”
Magdalen put down her phone, but something weighed heavily on her, darkening her expression.
Morrison looked up and gently cupped her chin. “Estelle’s right. If you care about Sylvia, then be there for her, look after her. But don’t try to manage her love life.”
Magdalen took his hand, toying with the wedding band on his finger. “I can’t help feeling upset.”

Please fix chapter 2553…we’re missing the total encounter of Sylvia entering the fight that began in chapter 2552. BTW, thanks for the updates....

It’s time for Gabriel to make his way back to Sylvia so that they can become a couple and not give Eugene false hope that he has a chance with Sylvia....
