But Ethan exposed the strong front that she was putting up directly with just a few words as soon as he came. He even exposed her with such harsh words. She lost control of her emotions out of anger and embarrassment and yelled loudly, “I regret it, I regret it, okay?! I regret falling in love with such a heartless man, I regret using my pregnancy to trap him into marrying me, I regret my naivety and I regret making myself so scarred!”“Don’t you just want to hear me admit that I made the wrong choice? Don’t you just want to hear me admit my failure? Are you satisfied now that you’ve heard it? Leave! I don’t want to see you!”After saying that, Silvia turned around and tried to leave. She would burst into tears if she stayed here.. Ethan stepped forward to stop her, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I know that I spoke too harshly but I was just too angry at the moment.”Ethan wrapped his arms around her as he explained to her. His tone w
After saying that, he shoved the small USB flash drive into her hand fiercely, then turned around and left. Silvia glanced at the USB flash drive that she wanted in her hand, and was puzzled as she looked at his back as he left. “Crazy man...”What promise of lifelong happiness? She did not know what he was talking about, okay? Didn’t he say that he would not help her? Now, he actually found her USB flash drive for her and even sent it all the way here.Who was the impatient one? Wasn’t he the one who could not wait to start a relationship with Mariah? He actually had the nerve to say that she was impatient…After Ryan drove away, Ethan’s eyes fell on the USB flash drive in her hand, and asked her, “You don’t know what he meant by that sentence?” “No, I don’t!” Silvia said angrily, “Who knows what he’s talking about? He’s been acting strangely all the time ever since we got divorced!”“You—"Ethan also looked very angry as he glared at her. “Go back and take a good look
She remembered that Ethan had borrowed this USB flash drive from her when she was about to graduate. After he returned it to her, she never looked at it again. At the time, she was ecstatic because she had just learned that Ryan had agreed to marry her, so how could she be bothered about these trivial matters?After watching the video, she also understood why Ryan would say things like “promise of a lifetime of happiness.” He must have seen the contents of the USB flash drive.It was so rude of him to look at other people’s things without their permission.At the same time, she also understood why Ethan had left angrily.Ethan always thought that she knew of the existence of this video. Unexpectedly, she had never seen it before and had unintentionally ignored his confession for five years. It would be stranger if he was not angry.But still, so what even if she saw the video at the time?She was so deeply in love with Ryan back then. Even if she might be touched after watching t
“I’ll wait for you to heal emotionally before you answer my question again, then.” Silvia had a headache. “Anyway, I’m healing at this stage so please don’t ask me such questions again for the time being.”She really wasn’t in the mood to think about these things. She was so busy at work every day and she did not have the will to talk about love. “I just came back from abroad and I still have an announcement to rush. I will come and find you during the weekend,” Ethan said over the other end of the line. Silvia hurriedly said, “I’m not free during the weekends! I have to work overtime, so don’t come!”This was terrible! She planned on not seeing her daughter during the weekend in order to avoid Ryan, but now Ethan was also going to get involved in this matter. Moreover, Ethan was different from Ryan. Ryan usually kept a low profile so ordinary people did not know him.Ethan was different. He was a famous celebrity who was extremely popular at the moment. Could she still live
“You’re still refusing to admit that you’re in love with Silvia?”Ryan glanced at him and drank silently. After a while, he spoke again, “So what if I admit it? And what if I refuse to admit it?” Julian laughed. “If you admit it, you should hurry up and win her back quickly so you can continue to have a warm and sweet life with your wife and child. You don’t need to be so dissatisfied and act like a hormonal teenager. If you refuse to admit it, you should let her go so she can find her happiness once again. Stop going to her house every other day and delay her chance at finding love again.”Julian had a thorough understanding of Ryan’s temper after having been friends with him for so many years. Ryan was too proud, and his relationship with Silvia had started in such a way where he had been forced to marry her, so it was not easy for him to admit that he was in love with Silvia. Perhaps he would only lower his ego to admit it and try to win her back when it was extremely uncomfor
In fact, Silvia had just rejected Ethan and she never thought about being with him. However, she was angry at the moment and simply answered him like this.After saying that, she did not forget to retort, “Aren’t you also together with Mariah too?”There was obviously a question in his voice just now, but what right did he have to question her? Besides, he was already so intimate with Mariah.They were divorced now. She was a single woman, and it was normal for her to have a new boyfriend and a new home, so why should he talk to her in such a questioning tone?She admitted that being with Ethan would already be enough to make Ryan angry, but she’d even accused him of being with Mariah. Ryan clenched his teeth immediately and defended himself. “I’m not together with her! Didn’t you see my clarification statement? I already said that I’m just friends with her!”Silvia laughed heartily. “Who in their right mind would believe that?!” She had personally seen him accompanying Mariah t
If Silvia did not know, the two of them could ask Miss Cullen together. Silvia followed Miss Cullen’s instructions very seriously and taught Christina everything that she had learned in the past few days. She would answer Christina’s question if she knew the answer.In fact, Silvia could also feel that Miss Cullen, who had a calm personality, did not like the lazy and unrestrained Christina very much. This was why she had asked Christina to go to Silvia first if there was anything she did not understand. She was clearly reducing her own direct contact with Christina in this manner.However, Silvia did not mind. She simply took it upon herself to consolidate the knowledge she had learned and gained while teaching Christina.Christina seemed much lazier compared to Silvia’s good work ethic.Silvia would go to the workshop to work as long as she had nothing to do in the office.In addition to watching each process, she would sometimes help the workers in the workshop to do some wor
Silvia also thought about how to deal with Ethan. If she kept avoiding him, it would give people the wrong impression that she had some other feelings for Ethan. Therefore, it would be better for her to simply get along with him openly like they used to.So, she answered Ethan’s call. Ethan then said that he had arrived at the hotel and asked her where she was now so that he could go and pick her up to go for lunch. Silvia answered him truthfully, “I’m working overtime at the factory, so I’m afraid I won’t have time to have lunch with you.”Ethan was dissatisfied and protested, “You’re really working overtime? I thought you were deliberately saying that you’re going to work overtime so that I would back off.”Silvia was speechless. She did say that on purpose that day, but after coming to the factory today, she found that there were several new emails, all of which were pushing the delivery date forward, so she could only spend her time and energy keeping an eye on the workers in
Evelyn was worried about this, but Rowan did not take it seriously as he said, “This small amount of snow is nothing.”Evelyn was extremely worried. The temperature was so low now, so the road must be icy. The snow was too heavy and would block his sight. Evelyn did not want him to be in any danger, so she suggested in a low voice, “It’s better if you don’t go back.”Rowan looked at her in surprise and smiled as he asked, “Where will I stay if I don’t go back? Do you want me to stay in the car all night?”Evelyn shook her head and said, “Y-You can go home with me.”She had just taken the initiative to invite a man to spend the night at her home. It was truly embarrassing for a shy girl like Evelyn to say these words, but she was willing to do so for his safety.“My mother should be asleep now, and she wakes up later in the morning. We can just leave before she wakes up in the morning.”She explained with a red face, “Don’t misunderstand me. I just don’t want you to be in danger o
She held her cell phone and said hurriedly, “I’ll go down right now.”She ended the call and hurriedly put on her down jacket. She was wearing warm and soft polar fleece home clothes. She did not have time to change, so she simply put on a down jacket and went out. She opened the door and walked out stealthily, out of fear that she would wake Helena up, and Helena would find out that she was going down to meet Rowan in the middle of the night. Helena would surely think that this kind of behavior was inappropriate. When passing by the living room, Evelyn glanced in the direction of Helena’s bedroom. The lights had been turned off, so she was probably asleep. Helena’s physical condition was not as good as it was before the surgery. After all, she was getting older and had undergone craniotomy, which was a major surgery, so she could not keep up mentally and physically. She would go to bed very early at night and wake up late in the morning.After Evelyn left the house quietly, sh
Cassie’s expression turned ugly when she heard Helena’s words. She was shocked and humiliated as she asked in disbelief, “Is it Rowan Pierce?”Cassie knew that it was the Pierces and Matons who were maliciously targeting the Sullivans. Julian and Nora had just gotten married, and it was said that Julian loved Nora very much, so it could not be Julian.As the person in charge of the Pierces, Ryan was a married man as well, and the couple usually kept a low profile and rarely displayed their affection. However, Cassie heard that Ryan’s wife had just given birth to a son, and it was widely known that Ryan was a family man now.Rowan was the only single man, so could it be Rowan?Cassie recalled the scene when she saw Rowan shopping with them in the mall that day. At the time, she wondered why Rowan would be willing to go shopping with them, but now, it seemed that he was there for Evelyn’s sake. Cassie was so stunned when she thought of this that she felt like she would choke on a m
In the end, Natalie was pushed to a dead end and had no choice but to hold a press conference in a hurry. During the press conference, she cried and apologized for the plagiarism and the fact that she had looked for someone to draw a design for her, and announced that she would be quitting the design world.However, few people accepted her apology or showed sympathy for her even though she apologized and admitted her mistakes. The general public opinion was still scolding her in various ways, so Barry simply drove Natalie home and asked her to stay at home to avoid the limelight. One night after Natalie’s incident, Evelyn was accompanying Helena on a stroll in the neighborhood when they ran into Cassie.Natalie’s life had been completely gloomy and dark in the past few days, but Evelyn’s life was stable and practical.Rowan insisted on picked her up from work every morning. If Rowan was at the company at noon, the two would have lunch together. Considering that Helena would be at
Natalie never expected that Rowan would play these dirty tricks behind her back. She did not know that Rowan was best at these tricks. She had cried and begged Barry to plead for mercy on her behalf, but when Barry came back, he told her that there was no room for redemption. She was desperate and was filled with hatred and resentment. Over the years, she had tried every means possible to trample all over Evelyn, but in the end, she was the one who suffered the most and could not turn her life around. Natalie clenched her teeth angrily in hatred as she dug her nails into her palms and tried to calm her emotions. So what if her career in design was ruined? She never truly liked this industry anyway. She had only learned it at the beginning in order to crush Evelyn. She could still do other things even if she did not do design, right? There were so many different industries in this world, so she did not have to make a living in jewelry design. Besides, she was a Stewart, so s
She laughed loudly when she was happy, shed tears when she was sad, never hid her true self, and was a frank and sincere person. Why wouldn’t men like such a girl?Rowan laughed. He did not mean to slander Selena; he was simply analyzing Selena’s current situation from his perspective as a man. Selena might indeed be a good girl in Evelyn’s eyes. After all, Evelyn was a woman who only cared about Selena’s personality, but men paid more attention to a woman’s temperament and charm sometimes. Everyone naturally had their own preferences. For example, Rowan preferred someone simple like Evelyn, whereas some men might prefer someone with a stronger personality like Selena. Evelyn had to call Charles after she could not reach Selena. “Charles, is Selena home? I can’t seem to reach her on her cell phone.”Charles frowned when he heard Evelyn’s words. “She’s not back yet. You can’t reach her on her cell phone?”“I can’t. I tried calling her several times, but her cell phone is switch
He was wrong. He was really wrong. He treated the person he wanted to protect so coldly and harshly. It seemed that he had not been in a relationship for too long that he had forgotten how to love. Fortunately, it only took him this once to understand the crux of his problem. Therefore, he stroked her cheek gently and reassured her in a deep voice, “It won’t happen again.”Evelyn chose to smile slightly in relief in response to his apology and assurance.When two people are together, they need to understand and accommodate each other in terms of personality, temperament, and living habits. Since they had only officially been together for a day, this was even more essential for them. As he said, he was an ordinary man, and she was an ordinary woman. Their relationship was that of an ordinary couple, so it was normal for them to quarrel, have disagreements, and lose their temper. Evelyn felt that there was nothing that could not be solved as long as it did not involve principles
“Getting dinner!” Rowan announced angrily, then he placed her in the passenger seat, got into the car, and drove away. Evelyn had no other objections since they were going to eat. Anyway, she had already called Helena earlier to tell her that she would not be going back for dinner tonight as she would be having dinner with Selena. Not long after the two had gotten into the car and driven out, Selena called and asked Evelyn worriedly, “Evelyn, how did it go? Did you manage to coax him yet?”As Rowan was sitting next to her, Evelyn could not answer whether she had managed to coax him. Therefore, she hesitated without saying anything.When Selena heard this, she knew that they must not have reconciled yet, so she gave her advice on the other end of the line. “It’s fine. There’s no man that can’t be coaxed. Just one kiss will do. If he still can’t be coaxed, give him two kisses. If that doesn’t work, just kiss him all over until he’s no longer angry!”Selena’s voice was loud enough,
Selena’s tone was full of annoyance as she said, “I initially thought of giving Evelyn a surprise, but it turned out to be a shock!”Selena had good intentions as well; she just wanted to introduce the most handsome, stylish, and reliable man that she knew to Evelyn, but it turned out to be self-defeating. As for Shane, who was to be introduced to Evelyn, he simply stood there leisurely the whole time, looking at the three of them as if he was watching a good show. He watched as they got jealous, explained themselves, and felt depressed. Even though both Evelyn and Selena had explained the whole story entirely, Rowan still felt angry and annoyed.After glaring angrily at Evelyn, he simply turned around and walked away.Evelyn and Selena could only exchange glances as they were at a loss for what to do.In the end, Evelyn said to Selena helplessly, “I’ll go and see how he’s doing. You two can enjoy dinner together. I’m sorry.”Evelyn chose to pay attention to Rowan this time an
