“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
Silvia was reminded of Ryan's earlier remarks when William brought up this subject. He’d assured her that he would come and pick her up no matter how late she talked to Rosaline. She went straight to the window, drew the curtains, and peered downstairs. Sure enough, she saw a Bentley parked directly across from Rosaline’s apartment. Perhaps the person in the car saw her had seen her drawing the curtain, so he opened the car door and walked out. It was really Ryan.Silvia was at a loss for words. She closed the curtains angrily. She assumed he had forgotten about it because he hadn't been in contact with her all night. Unexpectedly, he was waiting downstairs.She was genuinely baffled by his stubbornness. How could he feel anxious about something happening when Rosaline and William were so affectionate and in love?She also thought Ryan was even more naive after seeing Rosaline and William's passion for one another. "Is it him?" Rosaline inquired when she entered the room.“
Silvia turned around and stared hard at him. Why would he have thought of those aspects specifically? Wasn’t it because he was also thinking of those things?He was even worried that it would be unsafe for her to stay at Rosaline’s house, but in Silvia’s opinion, staying with him was even more dangerous!Ryan gave her an innocent look.“What’s wrong? Did I say something wrong again?”He turned back and focused on the road ahead as he said, “Isn’t that what happens between men and women at night? It’s not as if you haven’t experienced that kind of life before.”They had just arrived at the entrance of the neighborhood when he said this. Ryan cocked his head to glance at Silvia as the car slowed down.Silvia thought he looked quite dishonest and was annoyed as a result.“Shut up and drive properly!”Ryan was aware that he had talked enough. It wouldn't be worth annoying her more if she insisted on getting out of his car after that.The two eventually arrived at the villa on Scho
Would he listen to her considering how masochistic and control-driven he was? Could he allow her to dominate him?When Ryan heard the word 'temporarily,' his chest constricted once more, and he just glared at her angrily. Silvia, not to be outdone, looked directly into his eyes. They were both standing like that in the large living room, competing with their eyes.Silvia’s eyes were very beautiful, bright, and clear, but at this moment, she may be trying to win by trying to overpower him, but the wider she opened her eyes, the cuter and more innocent she looked.Ryan was amused by her appearance and burst out laughing. His laughter resounded in the originally quiet and somewhat unusual living room. It sounded low, deep, and seductive.“Do you think that you look more oppressive the wider you open your eyes?”A newbie like her was no match for a man like him who was immersed in the business world all day and frequently depended on his eyes and aura to defeat his opponent.No matte
