To be honest, Ryan had always been frustrated when facing Mr. Alberich, because Mr. Alberich had always shown only hostility to him.In the past before he got divorced, he could be unscrupulous and reckless because of Silvia’s love for him.However, now that he and Silvia were divorced and no one would speak up for him anymore, he obviously felt a little powerless when he faced Mr. Alberich. He also understood how Mr. Alberich felt as a father when he told his daughter the bedtime story that night. After thinking a lot about it from that angle, now that he was facing Mr. Alberich again, he suddenly felt that he was a jerk for having bullied someone else’s daughter and trampled on her wishes like that.However, despite the emotions in his heart, he had no choice but to go forward at this time. “Uncle—"He greeted Mr. Alberich politely. Mr. Alberich was originally instructed by Mrs. Alberich to go to the market to buy a few vegetables for dinner but when he saw Ryan, he became an
“I’m sorry, Mr. Pierce, are you hurt?”Ryan felt a chill in his heart when he heard Mrs. Alberich addressing him as ‘Mr. Pierce’.When he came to deliver Silvia’s suitcase the last time, her mother had addressed him as ‘Ryan’ in a pleasant manner at the door. This time, she addressed him as ‘Mr. Pierce’ directly.The intention to draw a line between them was obvious and thorough. “I’m fine.”He forced a smile, then pointed at the suitcase at his feet. “These are some of Silvia’s belongings that were left at my house.”He suddenly felt extremely depressed and he did not want to say anything anymore.“Please pass it to her. I’ll leave first.”He then turned around and got into his car before driving away. After Ryan left, Mrs. Alberich scolded Mr. Alberich angrily, “What do you think you’re doing?! Didn’t Silvia already tell you that you should simply pretend that you don’t know him when you see him in the future? What did you do? You even hit him a few times!” Mr. Alberic
She was instantly in high spirits as she walked home with the books in her hand. In fact, she did not want to be a full-time wife when she decided to marry Ryan. She also thought about having her own job and also wanted to survive and gain a place in society by virtue of her own efforts.However, she’d had a miscarriage not long after she got married and had to recuperate at home. The miscarriage had done a lot of damage to her mentally, and she did not come out of it for a long time. She almost had a nervous breakdown and nearly fell into depression.During that time, the public’s evaluation of her miscarriage was extremely vitriolic and vicious. They said that her miscarriage was her retribution for the tricks she’d used to get ahead. There were even speculations in the media that the Pierces would kick her out in no time.Such comments were a nightmare for Silvia, who had always lived in a simple world.These harsh words also succeeded in causing her to break down emotionally.
Mr. Alberich was afraid that Silvia would get angry so he hurriedly explained again, “Don’t worry, I hit him with scallions so he definitely won’t be hurt.”Silvia raised her hand and rubbed her forehead. It was not a question of whether Ryan was hurt or not, but her father’s behavior was really too… too childish!But Silvia really could not get angry anymore when she looked at her father’s nervous expression, where he seemed so afraid that Silvia would be mad at him.Mrs. Alberich comforted her from the side. “I’ve already reprimanded him for a long time just now. He should know what to do when he sees Ryan Pierce again in the future. Go and wash your hands, and prepare to eat dinner. You should also unpack the suitcase.”“Mm.”Silvia glanced at the suitcase and pushed it back into the room.Mr. Alberich glanced at her and muttered softly, “I’ll be rude to him if we meet again in the future.”Mrs. Alberich was furious. “Do whatever you like. When the time comes and he reports y
She felt that he was simply being unreasonable!She still felt bad for him at first because her father hit him with the scallions, but she felt that he deserved it now!As soon as Ryan drove out of Silvia’s neighborhood, he stopped the car because of the smell of scallions on his clothes. He took off his coat and threw it on the back seat angrily, then stopped driving and started smoking a cigarette alone.He did not get to see her the last time, and he did not see her again this time. If he did the math carefully, he had not seen her for almost a week now from the day he stopped her at the airport, which was almost equivalent to the number of days they did not see each other when he’d gone on long business trips in the past. Why did he feel so awkward?He happened to finish smoking the pack of cigarettes that he carried on him, so he raised his hand to get the cigarettes from the glove compartment. Instead, he found the divorce certificate. He had been keeping the divorce ce
Back then, the lecturer also said that they should get into mechanics if they wanted to engage in trade. There were not many processes, the trade was not diversified, and the processes were even simpler for large machinery. Therefore, Silvia preferred the machinery factory out of these two factories.However, this was just her personal preference. She decided to attend the interview for both factories. After all, she had no right to choose in such a situation and could only wait to be chosen. If the garment factory chose to hire her, she would accept the offer.She simply needed a job quickly and could not afford to pick and choose. The interview at the machinery factory was scheduled for Friday morning, but the interview for the garment factory was scheduled for Saturday morning. The person in charge of contacting her said that the factory manager would be going abroad to participate in a trade fair next week and would not be back for a month or so. As a result, the manager co
Ryan frowned. “What do you mean? Shouldn’t she be the one visiting the child today?”The driver smiled. “I’m not sure about that.”He was just following orders. Ryan turned around and entered the building. The more he thought about it, the angrier he was. That woman was really shameless. She actually expected the driver to send their daughter there when it was time for her to visit their daughter?How could she have such pleasant dreams?As soon as he got out of the elevator where Nora’s house was, he saw his mother, Ophelia, opening the door and leading his daughter, who was fully dressed and seemed extremely excited, to go out.He was very displeased and stopped them.“Why isn’t her mother coming today?”The little girl took the initiative to explain to him, “Mama said last night that she has a job interview in the morning, so Grandma said to ask the driver to send me there instead so I can see Grandma and Grandpa too.”A job interview? This word sounded incomparably
Ryan stopped them again.“Can you rest assured by handing the child over to the driver on such a long journey?”“What’s there to worry about? Our family has been using this driver for many years, and I specially called a driver who drives steadily—"Ophelia instantly understood her son’s intention upon saying this and felt very helpless. She decided to fulfill her son’s wish. “It’s the weekend, I suppose. If you’re free, it’d be best if you can drive and send Autumn there yourself, then.”The little girl also instantly cocked her small face to invite him as she said, “Papa, do you have time? I hope that you can drive me there so we can talk on the way. I have nothing to say to the driver, so the journey will be very boring!”Ryan eventually drove their daughter, Autumn, to Silvia’s house. The driver, who had been recruited early in the morning, was sent back by Ophelia. …Silvia went to the garment factory early in the morning to wait for her interview. While she was waiting
