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
Therefore, she could only choose to go to Ethan’s place to eat. Silvia felt that Ethan must also be experienced after so many years and would not let the media take pictures of his whereabouts so easily. Moreover, those reporters probably thought that Ethan would never come to such a small third-tier city.However, Silvia did not expect that instead of running into reporters at the hotel where Ethan was staying at, she would run into Julian instead. When she walked into the hotel lobby carrying a large bag of barbecue and a pack of beer in plastic bags, Julian happened to be walking outside with a few men who looked like his business clients. They met face to face in the lobby. As for why she was carrying beer, it was because Ethan had specifically asked for this kind of beer. In fact, he could have ordered the canned or bottled one directly from the hotel, but he had to ask for the one in a pack. In fact, Silvia really wanted to pretend as if she did not see Julian, but they
Julian thought that it would likely be too late if Ryan only apologized to Silvia he returned. As Ryan’s friend, he had no choice but to help Ryan appease Silvia first.But he did not expect that he would run into Silvia in this manner before he could look for her.After Julian sent the message, he went out to meet his clients, intending to treat them to dinner. The group got into the car, and the driver drove them away.Julian received a phone call from Ryan when he was on the way. Ryan asked him directly, “What do you mean by sending me that photo?”Ryan could obviously tell who the person in the photo was at a glance.Julian replied lazily, “It’s nothing interesting. I happened to come here to check on a project and ran into Silvia at the hotel.”“Why is she at the hotel?”Ryan, who was far away abroad, was surprised by Silvia’s appearance at the hotel. Her family lived there, so she did not need to stay in a hotel.However, the next second after asking Julian, he suddenly
He’d only felt that she was very tired and exhausted that night so he only said those words because he was distressed. In Ethan’s opinion, Silvia was a wonderful and beautiful girl who should have a bright future, just like Miya and Jane.However, she became a housewife and she was also a housewife who was not loved. How could Ethan, who adored her, not feel distressed? Moreover, aside from feeling distressed, he also felt pity for her. So, when the two met again, Ethan’s gaze fell on her unrestrainedly as he carefully observed her. Silvia felt uncomfortable being stared at by Ethan, and she took advantage of the situation to raise the bag of barbecue in her hand, covering her face and diverting Ethan’s sight. “For you!”Ethan raised his hand to take the bag from her. After knowing each other for so long, how could he fail to see that she was deliberately using this method to stop him from looking at her? The corners of his mouth curled up slightly as he smiled helplessly
Autumn was quite angry.“Okay, I’ll wait for your call then.”She then hung up the phone. Silvia shook her head helplessly. She really could not do anything once Autumn lost her temper.After turning around and returning to the chair, she smiled apologetically at Ethan.“Sorry, my daughter called and insisted on having a video call with her grandfather and grandmother.”“It’s fine.”Ethan smiled.“I secretly ate two of the meat skewers when you were on the phone. Oh, I really missed this.”Silvia teased him, “You actually miss eating barbecue? You’re really useless.”Ethan leaned against the back of the chair, looked at her, and smiled as he said, “I used to think that I’d become a frequent visitor here and would come and eat here often. Unexpectedly, it took me more than five years to finally eat it again.”Silvia obviously understood the meaning behind Ethan’s words. He was saying that he thought that once he got together with her, he would often accompany her back to visit
Autumn simply refused to listen to Silvia.“I want to see Grandpa and Grandma! I don’t want to talk to them on the phone!”Ethan, who was opposite, could obviously hear Autumn making a fuss on the other end of the line. He simply sat there and fixed his deep and cold gaze on her the whole time.Silvia got a little annoyed because of Autumn, so she reprimanded her coldly, “Autumn!”She did not understand why her daughter was being so ignorant tonight and had to make a fuss about having a video call with her parents. However, as soon as Silvia scolded her like this, Autumn burst into tears immediately. Ophelia took over the phone and said, “Silvia, you can just have dinner with your friend. I will soothe Autumn so you don’t have to worry.” Autumn had already made such a big fuss, so Silvia was no longer in the mood to continue eating. She simply said to Ophelia, “Thank you, Aunt. Please tell Autumn that I’ll go back home soon.”“Okay, I’ll hang up first then.”Ophelia hung up
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
