After returning to live with her parents for the past few days, she realized that her parents’ health was not as good as they had always said over the phone. She even saw her mother secretly taking medicine. When she took a look at the medicine her mother had taken, she found that it was an anti-inflammatory drug. It was only after she asked her mother repeatedly that her mother finally told her that her gallbladder was not in good condition. She’d gone to the hospital for a checkup and the doctor told her that she had cholecystitis so she could not eat anything that was too greasy or get angry.Silvia felt very guilty. Her mother was taking medicine again these days, so it must be because she was troubled by the divorce and had gotten angry.Therefore, she did not want to tell them these things anymore. She did not want them to worry about her anymore.She should live a good life and work hard so they could feel at ease. While Mrs. Alberich was preparing lunch in the kitchen,
Her introduction was particularly detailed. She did not only introduce the food to him but she also introduced the interesting places in the city and some interesting cultures to him. She wanted him to learn more about the city she grew up in and thus learn more about her.She’d introduced the beautiful scenery, food, as well as the beauty to him.The so-called beauty, of course, was referring to her. At that time, she was shameless and referred to herself as a beauty. It was his first time coming to her house and she kept pestering him in her room. She’d showed him photos of herself from childhood to adulthood, then introduced each photo to him.She knew that she was very noisy at the time, but she was just desperate for him to get to know her, and she desperately wanted him to fall in love with her. He listened to her with slight interest and he finally could not take it anymore when she continued chattering endlessly. He pushed her on the bed, saying that he did not need to
He organized his words as best as he could. “You should also get well soon for your parents’ sake.”Mariah was very sad and she began to sob as she said, “Ryan, can you come here for a while? I feel very, very upset. I used to be the pride of my parents, but now that I’ve become like this, I really don’t want to live anymore.”Ryan suddenly felt a little annoyed when faced with Mariah’s crying.Some women whom he wanted to see cry and show weakness simply refused to do so. She was so stubborn that it made people feel resentful.Meanwhile, some women whom he wanted to be stronger simply cried all day long.Mariah was the latter and a certain woman was the former.Ryan’s mood became even more irritable when he inexplicably thought of Silvia again. “I’m out of town now so I can’t go back. Don’t think too much, just go to bed early.”Mariah refused to hang up the phone.“Ryan, don’t leave me alone. I’m really scared. I’m afraid that Rowan will find me, I’m afraid that I’ll go cra
“I’d have forgotten if you didn’t mention it. When Autumn came here the last time, she really loved playing at the park here. Her grandfather said that he was going to take her out to play today. Since you have time, you can come over and pick them up.”In fact, her daughter did not say that she wanted to go out and play. Silvia was just using her father’s trick to make him back off so that he would stop bothering them.He had been beaten several times by her father with scallions the last time so he probably had lingering fears when he saw her father now. Silvia felt that he definitely would not dare to come if she heard that her father would be going out with Autumn.Sure enough, as soon as Ryan heard that Autumn’s grandfather would be taking her to the park, he immediately fell silent. She was glad to be free at last. “Goodbye.”He continued questioning her without giving up on the other end of the line, “Wouldn’t you be going along?”She casually replied, “I have other thi
After breakfast, Autumn walked out the door happily with her grandfather. Autumn wanted to pester Silvia to come along, but Silvia did not want to spend any time with Ryan at all, so she had to tell Autumn that she would be starting work soon and had a lot of preparations to do. She somehow managed to coax Autumn in this way.Ryan had been waiting outside. Silvia went out to call him once when their daughter was washing up and having breakfast. She asked him politely to have a seat inside the house to wait. After all, it was not good to keep him waiting outside.But he did not come in himself. Silvia felt that someone as proud as him must not be able to stand her father’s cold attitude toward him after he entered the house. After calling him, if he did not come in, Silvia’s task would have been completed. She turned around and walked home. He stopped her and asked unwillingly, “Are you sure you don’t want to come along?”“I have to start work tomorrow and I need to prepare many th
“If she finds another man again this time, her mother and I will definitely keep an eye on her this time no matter what it is. We will make sure that she finds someone who treats her well this time. What’s the point if she finds someone that she likes but the man does not like her back? In the end, she will be the one getting hurt.”Mr. Alberich glanced at him. “However, after having suffered a loss, I believe that she has also learned to be smart. She will definitely find a man who treats her well in the future.”Mr. Alberich’s words were clearly aimed at Ryan. Mr. Alberich wanted Ryan to know that there were men who were willing to cherish those whom he did not know how to cherish.His daughter might not mean anything to Ryan, but she would be a treasure to other people. After Mr. Alberich was done speaking, he turned his attention to the little girl on the carousel and ignored Ryan.He glanced at Ryan out of the corner of his eye, watching as he turned around and walked out, t
When Autumn explained this, Ryan instantly understood that the Aunt Wendy that Autumn was talking about, was Wendy.He knew that Wendy was pregnant and was about to give birth. Silvia had mentioned it to him before the divorce.After thinking about it, he asked his daughter, “So, your mother will also be going to Detroit in the afternoon?”Autumn nodded. “Yes, Mama said that there will be a bus going to Detroit at one o’clock in the afternoon. We will be taking that bus. She will take me to the hospital to see the little baby before she sends me to Grandma’s house. She will then take the bus at five o’clock in the evening to go home.”Autumn told Ryan about Silvia’s itinerary immediately.Ryan was furious when he heard that she was going to take their daughter to take the bus.“She is going to take you to ride on that kind of short-distance bus?”Why was she so stubborn? She obviously knew that he was still here, but she refused to contact him and was even taking their daughte
Her mother invited him to stay for lunch?Silvia understood her mother very well, so she knew that her mother must have invited him out of courtesy and as an exchange of pleasantries. It was not really because she wanted him to stay for lunch.She believed that he should also have the self-awareness to know that they did not really want him to stay for lunch, but why was he still staying then? What was going on?When did he become so shameless?Mr. Alberich and Mrs. Alberich then entered the house. Silvia glanced at her mother, who came over to persuade her. “In any case, he accompanied the child to play for a long time. He can stay for lunch if he wants to. It doesn’t matter if he has a meal here. Don’t show him an angry expression later.”Silvia did not say anything. She turned around and went back into the kitchen to continue plating up the dishes.She would not be so petty to treat him coldly the whole time, but she would not be warm or enthusiastic toward him later, let al
