Encore of the Avenging Muse (Sylvia and Rupert) novel Chapter 498

Sylvia wandered back into the house, feeling completely out of it. She crashed onto the living room couch and drifted off for a bit.

Just before lunchtime, her phone buzzed. It was Naomi, calling to tell her to come eat.

She hung up, got to her feet, and straightened her clothes. For some reason, she grabbed a bright red lipstick—one she’d never used before—and put it on, hoping it would bring a little color to her pale face.

As she stepped outside, she didn’t get far before she spotted Edwin hurrying toward the rock garden at the edge of the yard.

She almost called out to him, but then noticed he wasn’t alone. Kay was right behind him.

Sylvia had always suspected from their conversations that Edwin and Kay knew each other pretty well.

Curious, she crept quietly closer, just in time to see Kay reach out and grab Edwin’s arm.

With a bitter little laugh, Kay said, “So, this is the kind of woman you left me for, huh?”

Edwin frowned, but kept his composure. “Kay, you’ve got it all wrong. We broke up first. I didn’t even meet Naomi until after.”

Sylvia slapped a hand over her mouth in shock. Edwin and Kay used to be together?

She peered at them, and for a split second, was struck by how much Edwin resembled the mysterious husband from Kay’s last life.

The Garcia genes were strong, no doubt about it. Aside from the oddball Rupert, the whole Garcia family looked like they’d stepped out of a magazine.

Even in middle age, Edwin had that classic, ageless charm—handsome, sophisticated. No wonder Kay still remembered him.

But, if Sylvia remembered right, in her past life, when Kay married that mysterious guy, Edwin and Naomi had already passed away in an accident.

The thought made Sylvia’s chest tighten. Their deaths had something to do with her, after all. That’s why she was always so on edge around them now.

Lost in thought, she was brought back by Kay’s sharp, icy voice up ahead.

“Men always have some excuse for cheating,” Kay scoffed. “But honestly? Seeing you get pushed aside by the Garcias for her—that’s been sweet revenge.”
