“Papa, I’m going for a walk with Aunt Miya and Aunt Jane.”Ryan’s mind was focused on Silvia, so he couldn't care less about their daughter at this point. Therefore, he let her follow them out.Silvia had almost finished her breakfast. She was not in the mood to eat now that Ryan had sat down in front of her. She took a napkin and wiped her mouth, then looked up at him before she took the lead and said, “I’ve thought about what you said last night.”Silvia knew why Ryan came to look for her. It was because he wanted her to give him an answer to his confession last night. Ryan sat there quietly, watching her and waiting for her to continue speaking.Silvia said slowly, “In fact, your so-called love for me is just because you’re not accustomed to life without me taking care of your clothing, food, and living, like an old mother. You probably just want to have a woman anytime and anywhere, reasonably and legally, whenever you have desires. That’s all.”“To make things clearer, you
She did not mind his past with Mariah five years ago. After all, it happened before their marriage, but she could not help thinking about everything they did after Mariah returned to Crosavia. This was because it happened during their marriage! As a married man, that kind of ambiguity with other women was a great disrespect to her as his wife.If he bothered to explain things to her, it at least meant that he had respect for her, but he did not explain anything at all.She could not think about it. She felt angry and enraged whenever she thought of the relationship between him and Mariah. She felt chills from head to toe so she sneered, “Wouldn’t Mariah be embarrassed if you pursue me like this?”Ryan’s expression stiffened for a moment when Silvia suddenly mentioned Mariah. He spoke up to explain, “I know that my relationship with Mariah has hurt you deeply. I need to explain things to you.”“There is nothing between me and Mariah. I only kept seeing her because she is in a very
“I knew that you’d fall in love with her. After all, she gave you a child.”“This has nothing to do with whether she gave me a child or not!”Ryan denied Mariah’s words. He knew that the reason why he wanted to pursue and win Silvia back had nothing to do with them having a daughter together. It was simply because he could not do without her. Sometimes, he would rather she not have given birth to their daughter so that he would not owe her too much. This was because he hadn’t been by her side when she gave birth, and he also missed out on his daughter’s growth in the past few years because of his mixed feelings. This was a mistake that he could never make up for. If he could, he really wished that he could turn back time. He would go back to when they first got married and cherish her well.He thought that Mariah would become hysterical or even have a breakdown because he was severing all ties with her, but he did not expect her not to have much of an overreaction after she sh
However, Silvia felt that this return was a little too late. Moreover, they were already divorced. Their group walked and chatted all the way, arriving at the basketball court after a while.After Wendy looked around the court, she raised her hand and waved at a group of people.“Honey, we’re here.”Silvia and the others followed Wendy’s line of sight and saw Caleb playing basketball in sports attire. Ethan was also there, but he was wearing a black baseball cap and looked much more low-key, so not many people recognized him.Silvia felt that she had to give Wendy credit for not missing out on any opportunity to set her up with Ethan. Wendy had somehow managed to ask Ethan to come to the university to play basketball while they were visiting. After Wendy greeted Caleb, they came over to watch the basketball game under the basketball hoop where Caleb and the others were. They used to do this back when they were studying. Of course, they all used to accompany Wendy to come and
Silvia really did not know how to face Ethan when he was acting this way. She tried to find someone to defuse her embarrassment, but Wendy and the others had automatically moved further away when Ethan came to her earlier.It was Autumn who helped her out. Autumn was drinking a yogurt drink that Jane had bought her.. When Autumn heard Ethan mention the person he liked, she raised her head and asked curiously, “Uncle, who is the person you like?”Ethan was originally looking at Silvia with a deep look in his eyes, but upon hearing Autumn’s question, he could not help but look down at her and say with a smile, “Do you want to know?”“Mm-hmm.”Autumn nodded vigorously. She looked very adorable with white yogurt stained on her red lips.Silvia kept signaling to Ethan with her eyes, telling him not to talk nonsense. She did not want her daughter to know about these love-hate messes between adults. Ethan glanced at Silvia, then raised his hand and touched Autumn’s braid. Silvia had br
After Caleb, Ethan, and their group finished playing, they asked Silvia and the others to go to the restaurant for lunch with them.The girls were not afraid to have lunch together with Ethan because it would be a whole group of classmates and friends. If they were photographed, it would not be a big deal as they could simply say that it was a gathering for friends. They would not dare to have lunch with Ethan alone as it would be too ambiguous in that case.When lunch was over, this gathering was also considered to be over. Silvia and the others were also very reluctant to leave. Wendy was about to cry because she had to say goodbye to them, so she urged Miya and Jane like an old mother, “I hope that the next time we meet again is to attend your respective weddings. Don’t make us wait too long.”She then said, “Will any of you be able to get married at the end of this year?”Miya rolled her eyes at Wendy.“Not even my mother’s in such a hurry as you are!”Wendy wiped her tears
Ophelia already knew what her son wanted, so she tried her best to create opportunities for him to spend time with Silvia.However, she saw her son sulking at this moment, so she could guess that he’d probably met Silvia earlier, but their interaction did not go well.When Ryan heard his mother’s words, he stopped in his tracks and hesitated as to whether he should stay and wait or not. His mother then asked, “Have you made things clear to Mariah?”Ryan felt annoyed when he thought of this matter. He and Silvia had just gotten into another argument over Mariah this morning.He turned around, walked to the sofa, and sat down before saying, “I already told her not to come to me again if she needs something in the future.”There were no issues with Mariah. The problem was with Silvia now. Ryan continued, “But Silvia is still angry about these things.”“Rome was not built in one day.” Ophelia persuaded her son, “I think you shouldn’t be too anxious now. You just got divorced, so what
Silvia was still standing outside the door. When she saw him walking toward her, she stood aside to make way for him.He paused when he walked in front of her and looked down at her. Silvia felt that his eyes were full of danger.In the end, he simply said one word to her. “Goodbye.”And then he walked away.He was being very polite, so Silvia felt goosebumps erupt all over her body. What was wrong with him now?When Ophelia heard that her granddaughter was back, she knew that Silvia was here. She quickly wiped her hands and walked out of the kitchen. “Oh, Silvia, you’re here too. Come in and have a seat. Take a look at Autumn and my new home.”Since Ryan had already left, Silvia had no other worries, so she walked in after Ophelia’s invitation. Silvia and Ophelia had always shared a good relationship, so she sat down and they chatted for a while before she had to leave.After leaving Ophelia’s house, Silvia took a taxi to the bus station, got on the bus smoothly, and return
