When the two returned to the private room, Ethan and William were also chatting happily. Rosaline smiled and sat down on the seat next to William. “One of you is a businessman and the other is a celebrity. What are you talking about so happily?”Ethan glanced slyly at Silvia who had just sat down. “We’re talking about how the eight-year resistance war has been won, but I’ve yet to win over some people’s hearts.”The meaning of this statement could not be more obvious.Silvia glared at Ethan, warning him not to talk nonsense. The dishes they ordered came up shortly after, and the four of them started eating. After eating a few mouthfuls, Rosaline’s cell phone rang. She picked up her cell phone and saw that it was an unfamiliar number which seemed to be from a foreign country, so she was a little confused as she answered the call.A deep and mellow male voice came from the other end of the line.“Hello, Miss Olson, I’m Ryan Pierce.”“Mr. Pierce?”Rosaline was terribly s
If she did not pass his message to Silva, they would definitely ask her about the contents of the call later. Could she simply reply that he called to ask if she ate?Moreover, no matter whether she told them about it or not, his phone call during their dinner was enough to cause trouble for Silvia. In the end, she simply laughed in response to Ryan and then hung up after saying goodbye to him.Just as Rosaline had expected, Silvia was really annoyed because of Ryan’s call. He was really capable. She did not know if he really did know their whereabouts again, or if he just happened to call Rosaline at the right time.In any case, he really knew how to make people feel revolted. It caused her to lose her appetite so she asked Rosaline directly, “Why did he call you?”Silvia did not want to ask about the phone call, but she was afraid that Ryan would give Rosaline a hard time. Rosaline stretched her hands. “He asked me to send his regards to you.”Rosaline finally told Sil
Ethan’s words were somewhat self-deprecating. “In fact, I don’t have many requirements. I am already satisfied as long as you don’t avoid me and still treat me as a friend like before.”Silvia was dissatisfied and protested, “I should be the one who will be satisfied if you still treat me as a friend, okay? You haven’t contacted me in the past few years, right?” Their friendship was completely severed. Silvia had been very angry at first because of the kind of wedding blessing that he gave her. Later, he’d contacted her but she ignored him. She was angry at the time. After all, who would like to receive such a blessing when getting married? After she got married, she’d suffered a series of miscarriages and other things, and she was in no mood to be bothered with these things anymore.Ethan never contacted her after that, and as a married woman, Silvia could not take the initiative to contact her admirer anymore. The relationship between the two was frozen like that for so many ye
Silvia already did not have a good impression of Ryan, and he was even doing all these things behind the scene to go against Ethan. In addition, Ethan was adding fuel to the flames now so Silvia was really annoyed at Ryan. Ethan could feel Silvia’s annoyance toward Ryan through the phone. He hung up the phone with a smile on his face because he had successfully achieved his goal of making Silvia mad at Ryan. Ryan was not the only one who could play tricks. He could do so too.…Ryan returned to Crosavia half a month later. He really wanted to come back sooner, but the situation was beyond his control.After returning, he got off the plane and went directly to his mother’s place to visit his daughter. He had never felt such a sense of homecoming before, and he had never been this concerned about his daughter.When he arrived at his mother’s place, Autumn was lying on the table, concentrating on making something. Ophelia was patiently helping her.Ryan greeted his mother and e
Even Ophelia, as her mother-in-law, knew Silvia’s birthday. In the past, Silvia would always give Ophelia a gift every year on Ryan’s birthday because she said that a child’s birthday was the mother’s blessed day. Silvia would then prepare a large table of dishes for them to eat together. Ophelia naturally remembered Silvia’s birthday because Silvia was so thoughtful.As for her son, he never cared about Silvia at all. He’d always enjoyed everything that she prepared with peace of mind and always took it for granted, so he naturally would not remember it. Ophelia helped Ryan to calm the situation so that Autumn was no longer as angry as she was at the beginning. Ryan then hurriedly said, “I also prepared a gift for your mother. I simply didn’t guess that this is what you were talking about just now.”“Is it true?”Autumn doubted him.“Of course, it’s true.”Ryan carried Autumn up and put her back on the chair. He then got up to open his suitcase and took out the gifts that h
Autumn laughed. “Don’t worry, Papa. It’s easy to coax Mama. You should just apologize to her and say that you were wrong and will never make such a mistake again, and she won’t be angry anymore.”Ryan: “…”Apologize and say that he was wrong? He even had to promise that he would never make such a mistake again?He had never had this kind of pious attitude or shown weakness before her before. Moreover, based on their current situation, he did not think that she would forgive him even if he apologized to her. So, it was better for him to be fully prepared. He then asked his daughter again, “What if she’s still angry even after I apologize to her?” “You should sing her a song then.”Autumn lowered her head and continued checking out her gifts after sharing her so-called experience with Ryan.“There was one time when Mama wouldn’t forgive me even after I apologized to her, so I pestered her and sang to her until she laughed.”“Sing?”Ryan did not feel good at all.How could h
This was why she was now thinking of doing a good job and having a career of her own so that she would not be in a passive position as she was in the past if she were to get into another relationship in the future.She did not remember her birthday at all because she had been so busy.She had a rare good night’s sleep on Saturday morning.There was no shipment from the factory this week, so she did not need to go to the workshop to monitor the production. After being busy for almost a month, she also wanted to take a break so that she would have the strength to keep rising up to new challenges.During this time, because of her hard work, the director of the factory, Mr. Snow, had said that there would be a trade fair sometime in the future, and he wanted her to go along too. She would have the potential to obtain clients on her own at this trade fair. The fact that the director of the factory was asking her to go was also an affirmation of her work ability. Silvia really cherishe
What was with him bringing their daughter here to celebrate her birthday?Ryan, who was on the other end of the line, did not get a response from Silvia after he was done speaking, so he asked nervously, “Why aren’t you saying anything?”Ryan was afraid that Silvia would not answer his call, so he purposely called her using the hotel room phone. He even asked his daughter to speak to her first before he took over and talked. “I have nothing to say,” Silvia replied indifferently. “Thank you for sending Autumn here. Let me know the name of the hotel and the room number and I will ask her grandfather to pick her up later.”Ryan was so annoyed by her words that he did not say anything for a while.He was already a little hurt when she said that he had nothing to say to him and that she would pick their daughter up and leave him behind, but she was even asking her father to pick their daughter up?!Was she trying to avoid him completely?Did she hate him that much? And did she thi
