When she heard him say that, Sylvia knew that he was right. With the way her mother was acting, it would be stupid for Kendrix to not do the right thing.
He was only doing this because he knew that this was expected of him.
Sylvia could not protest at all. On the contrary, she thought that he was right. Even if she was reluctant to part with him, she should still follow Kendrix's advice.
She hesitated for a while before looking at Kendrix and finally nodding.
Kendrix knew that Sylvia was feeling reluctant from the way she was pouting. She looked so cute even when she was unhappy. He chuckled and cupped her face in an effort to comfort her, "Okay then. Cheer up."
"I can't find it in myself to be happy," Sylvia spoke the truth, "However, even so, I have to admit that you are right."
Kendrix felt gratified. In the end, Sylvia was a sensible child. She could understand his difficulties, and he was touched by it.
