“Why should he pick me up? I wish that he would never appear in front of me again.”She had not been in touch with Ryan since he picked their daughter up last week, and she felt much more at peace now.Miya suggested, “Let’s analyze this matter carefully and study what kind of mentality Ryan has toward you after Jane arrives. Personally, I think he’s in love with you.”Silvia shot the idea down immediately. “Impossible. You’re overthinking it. He’s torturing me like this because he’s unhappy that I was the one who asked for a divorce.” “No, no, no!” Miya insisted on her feelings. “If he’s really just tormenting you, why would he apologize and even try to give you a gift that’s so ambiguous such as the ‘Lover’s Knot’?”Before Silvia could say anything else, Wendy’s cell phone rang. It was a phone call from Jane, who said that she was at the airport at Staten Hill and was about to leave. She let them know what time she would arrive and also apologized for coming late.Wendy comfor
Wendy then left.After Wendy left, Silvia took the lead and gave Jane a big hug, along with a warm welcome.“Jane, long time no see.”Silvia knew that Jane had always been passive, so she would never take the first step no matter what it was.Sometimes, she would rather miss many opportunities than take the initiative to express her inner thoughts. Therefore, she always gave people the feeling that she was cold and difficult to approach when in fact, after getting acquainted with her, one would know that she was a kindhearted girl.Perhaps she only gave people such an illusion because she was not good at expressing herself. After Silvia, Miya also stepped forward to say hello to Jane. Jane looked at the two of them before her gaze finally fell on Silvia. “It’s great that we're all back together again.” “It is, isn’t it? Someone is finally willing to give us a little love.”Miya sat down enchantingly on the sofa in the room and did not forget to tease Silvia.Silvia prete
Miya shook her head at Silvia.“Hey, Silvia, don’t you know that in today’s society, no man would dare to want a woman who’s too outstanding because they are afraid that they will not be able to control them? That is why some women can’t get married.”Jane expressed her agreement with what Miya said with silence. Silvia thought about it and felt that it made sense. A woman who was too outstanding would indeed deter many men, but a woman who was too ordinary could also be easily overlooked. She belonged to the latter group. Wendy was busy for a long time before she finally returned to the room to accompany them and also to breastfeed her baby. Just after feeding the baby and tidying up her clothes, someone knocked on the door. After Wendy yelled for the person to come in, the door opened, and Ethan walked in, dressed impeccably. He was attending an event in another city in the afternoon. Caleb was his best buddy, so it was impossible for him not to attend Caleb’s son’s month
Ryan ignored their astonishment and led his daughter directly into the room. His gaze then swept past the few people outside and fell directly on Silvia. “Our daughter said that she wanted to come and see you and also look at her little brother.”He could easily push all the responsibility to his daughter with just one sentence. He also incidentally involved the host’s baby so that the hostess could not say anything even if she wanted to.How could the hostess say no if the little girl wanted to see her little brother? Not to mention, the hostess also liked the little girl very, very much. When the little girl saw Silvia, she ran over happily and said, “Mama—"Silvia had no choice but to get up quickly to catch the little girl who was running over. She then held the little girl in her arms and asked her to greet everyone. The little girl had also seen Miya and Jane in video calls before so she yelled out in a bright and clear voice, “Hello, Aunt Miya! Hello, Aunt Jane! Hello, Au
“Mr. Pierce, welcome to our child’s monthsary.”Wendy thought about it for a while and still could not swallow this anger. She then added, “I believe the seat Caleb arranged for you is outside, and it’s also a VIP seat.”What was this? She specially arranged this private room so Silvia could avoid Ryan, and also to set Silvia and Ethan up. Why was Ryan forcibly trying to join them?Ryan sat there with no intention of leaving. “It’s okay, I can just eat here. Autumn wanted to find her mother, so I had no other choice.”Wendy was completely speechless now.In fact, she really wanted to say that he could leave their daughter here with Silvia, and he could then go out to eat by himself. However, she also knew that it would be too hurtful if she said such words to the point that things were at a stalemate. So, she did not say anything else and could only let Ryan join them at this table.When Caleb came back from entertaining other guests outside, he was also surprised to see Ryan i
He was also indirectly implying that Silvia’s love for Ryan would also change.Ryan turned his head and looked at Ethan coldly. He could clearly hear the implication and meaning behind Ethan’s words. It was also because of Ethan’s implication that Ryan clearly realized that Silvia no longer belonged to him.She has already divorced him.From now on, she had the right and freedom to fall in love with other men.She had the right and freedom to have children with other men.She also had the right and freedom to treat him as a stranger from now on.He had refused to admit these in the past, until his number one rival in love, Ethan, reminded him of this coldly today. Although Ethan was mocking him, it also made him completely sober at the same time.Despite the fact that his heart was in turmoil, he was still smiling when he faced Ethan.“Thank you for the reminder, it seems that I need to hurry up.”As Ryan spoke, he cast his eyes on Silvia who just came out of the washroom.
“You can go by yourself tomorrow. We will take a taxi to the airport.”Miya, in her single-minded dedication to hitching a ride, completely forgot about Ethan’s identity.The airport was the easiest place for celebrities to secretly get photographed. If they were photographed taking the same car as Ethan, those people who looked at the photos would definitely start all kinds of rumors.At that time, they would definitely be scolded and doxxed online as Jane had said, and they would not be able to live, then.Ethan was helpless.“We won’t get photographed if we are a little more cautious.”“That won’t do.” Miya refused resolutely. Although Jane was silent, she also shared the same thoughts as Miya.Ethan laughed angrily at their stubbornness. “The two of you are making it seem like I can’t have friends.”“Wrong, you can have friends, but it’s not suitable for you to have female friends specifically.”Miya laughed and said goodbye to Ethan. “Okay, we’re leaving first. Let’s be f
“I have something to say to you!”She was trapped between his tall body and the solid wall behind her. Silvia inexplicably felt a little depressed. She wanted to look away from him, but he pinched her chin to force her to look at him. She stared at him angrily and spoke up hatefully, “Speak up if you have something to say!”Ryan narrowed his eyes.“Some things don’t end just because you say it’s over.”Silvia glared at him. “What do you mean?”He lowered his eyes to gaze at her, raised his hand to caress her cheek, and opened his thin lips as he said word by word in her ear, “What I mean is that I’m going to formally pursue you from now on.”Silvia was terribly shocked. She simply froze in place as she stared at him in astonishment and was unable to speak for a long time. Her red and lustrous lips were slightly open because she was too shocked, and they glowed seductively under the light. The beautiful shape of her lips made people want to touch and taste it.Ryan could not ho
