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? How are you planning to get Silvia back th
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
