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
If it was another mature woman who was in this situation, the other party would instantly understand his intentions if he teased her like this.However, Nora would only be frightened and might even regard him as some kind of prodigal son.He admitted that the reason why he asked her to come to his house just now was because her figure suddenly came to his mind for a moment.When he paid attention to a woman, the first thing he looked at was their figure. When he ran into Nora at the restaurant the last time and paid the bill for her, he suddenly noticed that she had a very good figure. This was why he sighed and told Ryan that Nora was becoming more and more beautiful.“I’m at the university.”Nora seemed to be hesitating, but she finally made up her mind.“Tell me your home address. I’ll go to your house to find you. It’s inconvenient for us to discuss this matter at the university.”Inconvenient to discuss this matter at the university?Julian’s curiosity was aroused, but
When she was nervous just now, she forgot that Julian and her brother, Ryan, were good friends. As he said himself, he would not do anything to her, on her brother’s account.After Julian entered the room, he sat down on the sofa and leaned back against the sofa gracefully with his legs crossed. He looked at Nora as he sipped his wine. He had a deep and charming look in his eyes, which were filled with evil aggression at the same time.When Nora saw him like this, she instantly felt a sense of overwhelming danger and had the urge to escape.She’d never encountered such a direct and solitary relationship with Julian before. When she saw Julian occasionally, he would always be with her brother, Ryan, and she would simply greet them before walking away. In the past when she looked at him from a distance, she felt that he was always smiling and seemed to treat people very gently. Therefore, she thought that he would be a good person for her to get into a relationship with. That was
“As for why I want to be in a relationship, it’s because I’ve never been in love before and I want to learn about the experience of love from you.”Nora lied when she said this last sentence, so she lowered her eyes again out of guilt.She could not be honest and tell him that she simply wanted to fool around with him. Otherwise, she would definitely be thrown out of the door immediately. After she was done speaking, Julian stared at her thoughtfully for a while, then spoke up lazily, “I like to start from the last step first when I teach.”Nora raised her eyes curiously and asked him, “What is the last step?”Julian smiled and replied to her with two words. “Sex.”Nora’s face instantly turned red. As Julian spoke, he bent down and came closer to her. Nora could feel his hot breath on her ear. Nora took a step back in fright.“I don’t want to learn anymore.”She then turned around to flee. What kind of joke was this? She just wanted to be in a simple relationship with hi
Compared to how Silvia was slowly getting more comfortable at work, Christina was in a state of distress. She even cried after getting scolded by Miss Cullen because of a problem with the letter of credit. Silvia could not bear it, so she stepped forward to guide her and Christina was then able to solve the problem successfully.Silvia would also often teach Christina from time to time, and Christina also felt very grateful to her. That day, she went to the workshop as usual and continued to study there. As soon as she entered the workshop, she noticed that everyone was looking at her with strange expressions on their faces. A few of the older ladies on the assembly line who temporarily had some free time on hand were even whispering to each other.Silvia was a little puzzled, but did not take it to heart. She stood on the assembly line and checked the quality of the garment parts on the conveyor belt. It was an older woman in the cutting team, whom Silvia usually addressed a
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
