Julian was obviously the one introducing their client to her with enthusiasm. Ryan kept quiet the entire time. He was not a very talkative person, and it would already be excellent if he could say ten sentences even back when they were together.

However, he did not just sit around. Aside from eating, he simply watched her eat or chat with Julian. Silvia sensed that he was gazing at her and felt like she would suffer from indigestion later, but she found it difficult to ask him to stop, so she could only stare back at him.

Julian vehemently objected from the sidelines.

“Can the two of you quit flirting with each other? Can you consider my feelings here as a single man?”

Silvia was annoyed.

“Who’s flirting with him?!”

Julian spread his hands.

“You’re looking at him and he’s looking back at you. Isn’t that flirting?”

Silvia retorted angrily, “Is this how you interpret flirtatious glances? Did a math teacher teach you English?”

How was she flirting with Ryan? She was clearly gla

    He then turned to face Silvia. “What did he just say? Something about the lion?”Silvia gave Ryan a quick glance, then replied to Julian, “If I heard correctly, he said, ‘A lion does not turn its head when a dog barks.’”Julian suddenly had an epiphany.“Oh, I see, that’s the phrase.”He then said to Ryan, “Why don't you hurry up and tell Silvia how much you love her now that she’s asking you to speak? Yet for some reason, you’re suddenly saying this sentence. Will you still be able to engage in a pleasant conversation then?”Silvia: “…”What did Julian mean when he prompted Ryan to express his feelings for her?Ryan looked at Silvia with a serious expression. “She is aware of what it signifies.”Silvia immediately knew what he meant when he stated this.This adage was one she was familiar with. A lion does not turn its head when a dog barks.It meant that the lion will not turn around just because a vicious dog is barking. The broader implication was that someone who is

    The three of them paid and departed. Silvia declined to go with them and got a taxi back home on her own.Julian also introduced their client to her just now—a Frenchman named Brown who was in his fifties. The finalized dates for his arrival were a few days before and after Independence Day, so she did not need to ask for too many days off when she requested leave from work since the entire country would be on holiday. She would only need to ask for one day off before and after the holiday. During that time, she would only have to play the role of Ryan's wife for a total of five days.The holiday for Independence Day would fall on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, which was a total of three days. Silvia needed to ask for a day off on Wednesday, and also on Sunday when it was adjusted to a working day.She planned to ask Mr. Snow for a leave of absence after going to work on Monday, then utilize Monday and Tuesday to finish her work ahead of schedule. She would then take her own comp

    If her parents learned about this, they would undoubtedly be furious. She actually only wanted to do this once and for all, offering her assistance in exchange for future peace which would remain forever.She would never be at peace if he continued bothering her.Things like Mariah's recent attempt to slander her in her workplace or the way he ruined her blind date at noon today would keep cropping up, and peace would never exist.She reasoned that she could take advantage of this opportunity to end her relationship with him forever.Silvia comforted her parents before going back to her room to tell Wendy and the others about the situation.Silvia was immediately harshly criticized by Wendy, “How can you agree to such an unreasonable request? It's obvious that you're treading on dangerous ground.”Jane and Miya remained silent.Wendy argued, “Miya, Jane, you two should come out and persuade Silvia. What’s happening here? Ryan Pierce is far too shameless!”Wendy wished that goin

    “Oh, I assumed something had happened. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to assist you.”Mrs. Dolton grinned broadly before turning her attention back to Ryan and asked, “Who is this?”Silvia was frustrated because she did not know how to introduce Ryan. In front of so many people, she was an abandoned woman who was still involved with her ex-husband. That seemed to be a little superfluous.When Silvia stopped to converse with Mrs. Dolton, many women who liked to watch the show also stopped to observe from a distance as they were also curious about the relationship between Silvia and Ryan. Ryan came forward and greeted Mrs. Dolton formally before Silvia had time to respond.“I’m Silvia’s ex-husband, Ryan Pierce. I’m here to pick her up from work.”After Ryan finished speaking, a scooter rider emerged from the shadows and nearly collided with Silvia. Ryan’s expression turned cold immediately. He nervously took a step forward and pulled Silvia into his arms, then sa

    Silvia ought to be residing in the villa on Scholaris Street for the next few days since she was playing his wife, but she wished to have fewer conversations with him. Nevertheless, she decided to spend the night at Rosaline's house, mainly because his client wasn't here yet, and she wanted to chat with Rosaline.Ryan quickly opposed. “Rosaline and William are living together now!”Julian sent him a picture of her taking Ethan to dinner with Rosaline and Rosaline’s new boyfriend from the last time. Ryan had asked someone to look into it and learned about William and Rosaline in the process—it turned out they were already living together.Silvia was unconcerned. “What is the problem? There’s more than one bedroom in her house.”Could she not go and stay for one night just because Rosaline was living with William? It wasn't like she had never previously resided in the two bedrooms at Rosaline's home.Ryan was enraged. “Will you feel comfortable sharing a home with a stranger?”

    Along the way, they stopped conversing with one another. Silvia asked Ryan to send her straight to Rosaline's residence when they got to Detroit.Before she exited the car, Ryan told her, “Call me when you’re done chatting tonight. I’ll come and get you.”Silvia ignored him. He looked at her with sunken eyes and emphasized again, “Listen to me, they are a couple who are in love and it’s inconvenient for you to live there.”Silvia exited the car and left. Why would it be inconvenient?Ryan waited until he spotted her entering the building before starting the car.He gave Julian a call. When Julian answered the phone, he replied furiously, "I'm annoyed, don't come to me if there's nothing important."“What’s wrong?”Although Ryan was asking this question, he could guess what was bothering Julian.A few days ago, Ryan heard his mother, Ophelia, mention that Mrs. Maton had recently started arranging for a blind date for Julian because one of her friends had just been upgraded to th

    He then turned around and left without even giving the blind date a passing glance.Mrs. Maton was furious and yelled behind him, “Julian Maton, stop right there!”Julian turned around and said, “I forgot to tell you that I won’t be free because I have to accompany the client for the next five days!”He left the restaurant as he spoke. Mrs. Maton was furious but could not do anything about it, so she was forced to deal with the blind date that Julian had left behind.Julian promptly made his getaway and made a new appointment to meet with Ryan for a meal at the restaurant. After hearing from Ryan that Silvia had gone to Rosaline’s house for dinner and left him alone, Julian pointed out immediately, “You should have gotten out of the car right then and followed her in for dinner.”Ryan retorted, “Do you think everyone is as shameless as you?”Julian was indignant and protested, “Mr. Ryan Pierce, you’re worried about being shameless now?

    Silvia was extremely impressed by William's consideration, attention to detail, and compassionate care for Rosaline, whom had endured so much in her first marriage. The two sat down to eat after William left.Silvia complimented William's cooking abilities as well as his character. “He treats you so well. Now that I see how happy you are, I can believe in love again.”Rosaline couldn't conceal her bliss. “I never thought I'd be able to fall in love again at my age. As a divorced woman who is approaching thirty years old, I didn't think I would be able to find a decent man like William. Sometimes, it’s true that you will only be able to meet a better person after saying goodbye to the past.”Rosaline couldn't help but feel very emotional as she thought back on her previous marriage. When she first discovered that Shaun was cheating on her, she was so shocked and angry that she was on the verge of an emotional breakdown.She contemplated saving the marriage once she had calmed down

    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
