This would not do. He had to find a way to get her to cook.She would definitely refuse if he just asked her to cook a mea—didn’t she already make it clear that she would not cook, wash his clothes, or make coffee for him?But what if he invited the Browns over for dinner?He would consider it as a family dinner. Mr. Brown liked a harmonious family atmosphere, so he would be able to better reflect his relationship with Silvia if he invited the Browns to their house as guests.This seemed to be a good idea.After Silvia finished her breakfast, she saw that it was still too early to pick up the Browns, so she simply took a walk outside to pass the time. She would rather enjoy the fresh air outside than go back home and be alone with him.After strolling around and seeing that it was almost time so they could head to the airport directly after she went back, she then went back home.As for his breakfast, she did not prepare anything for him, nor did she pack food for him from the r
Silvia felt that his ability to confound right and wrong was really unprecedented. How did he end up putting the blame on her? What did it have to do with her?She looked at him indifferently and mocked him, to which he laughed maliciously.Silvia was completely exasperated by his shameless remarks. She turned around and left his bedroom door.He had been acting like a thug since last night to take advantage of her. Was he planning to interact with her in this shameless manner for the next few days? Silvia waited in the living room. After he came out, she glanced at him, then quickly looked away as she got up and prepared to leave with him.She admitted that he was really charming in formal attire, with an innate elegance that exuded his charms. She was fascinated and charmed by this look back then. In five years of marriage, her favorite thing to do was to take care of his suits and shirts and tie his tie for him.The first time she saw him was in Greg’s ward. She had been ch
She was wearing a very plain gray dress.After she started to work in the factory, her clothes were all black, white, and gray, all of which were most suitable for wearing to work at that kind of place.Ryan was very dissatisfied. He stepped forward to stop her and walked into the dressing room. “People from France are romantic and passionate. You should wear something bright and colorful.”Silvia was dissatisfied. “Why don’t you dress brightly, then?”He sneered coldly, “Do you think it’s appropriate for a man to be dressed in a brightly colored suit? What’s more, that’s not my style at all.”“That’s not my style either,” Silvia retorted.Ryan led her into the dressing room, gazed at her, and spoke in a low and slow tone, “How is it not your style? Didn’t you like to wear bright-colored clothes in the past? You were wearing a yellow dress when I first met you.”The first impression led to Ryan choosing brighter colors for her whenever he bought clothes for her when he went on b
Ryan clenched his teeth angrily when she said that he was old even though he was only a few years older than her.He had a gloomy expression when he went out the door. Silvia was waiting for the elevator. He held her hand as soon as he stepped forward and spoke up before she could protest. “I’m letting you get used to it in advance. It’d be best for us to hold hands in front of the Browns.”The elevator arrived and he led her in. He pushed her into the elevator and reminded her wistfully, “You should know that the French are romantic so there’s the possibility of a hot French kiss anytime and anywhere.”He moved closer to her as he spoke.Silvia was trapped against the elevator wall. She simply glared at him, implying that he should kiss her if he dare to.He was really shameless and good at finding excuses to take advantage of her. Holding hands? French kissing? He was the one who wanted to do that, but he was pushing the blame onto the Browns.Ryan did not actually kiss her
There were many drivers present because they also had a translator with them. Ryan had arranged for a luxurious business caravan that was spacious and comfortable. After arriving at the airport, they picked the Browns up successfully and exchanged warm and polite greetings with them.Mr. Brown was a small thin old Frenchman, who seemed a bit different from the tall and handsome Frenchmen often seen on television. However, his appearance did not matter; what mattered was his love for his wife.Mrs. Brown was about the same age as her husband, with a slightly fatter figure. Both her dressing and temperament exuded elegance, and she had a bright and beautiful appearance. She was obviously a beauty when she was young. This was Silvia’s first impression of them,.Previously, Julian had told her that Mr. Brown and his wife grew up together. Mr. Brown had liked Mrs. Brown since he was young, but she did not like him at the time and also had her own sweetheart.Mr. Brown also had low s
Mrs. Brown answered her with a faint smile, “Warm.”Silvia was stunned when she heard this word from the translator. Warm?Silvia was surprised that he would use such a beautiful word to describe her.He had always only felt resentment, boredom, and endless rejection toward her. She never thought that she would hear him describing her with such a word, one day.She continued walking as she raised her eyes to look at the tall man in front of her. She suddenly did not know what to feel.The translator then chatted with her in English, “Mrs. Pierce, don’t you know the reason?”Silvia was already in a daze so when the translator asked her this, she was even more puzzled. “What reason?”The translator smiled and explained to her, “Your daughter’s name is Autumn, isn’t it? Mr. Pierce said that she was named that because the sun was very warm, your smile was very warm, and his heart also felt very warm when he saw you hold and coax your daughter.”Ryan’s secretary had always been a
She turned around and got into the car without saying anything else. Why? Why did she find out about these things when her feelings were already gone?…The group headed to the hotel. After checking in, the Browns checked into their room to rest and beat their jet lag first. Ryan made an appointment with them to treat them to dinner in the evening, when the other business partner, Julian, would also be present. The Browns agreed readily. Ryan turned to ask Silvia in the hotel lobby, “What would you like to do during the day?”Silvia naturally wanted to see her daughter, but she considered the fact that Autumn was likely still in kindergarten, so she had to give up on that thought. There was nothing else she wanted to do.“I’ll go home to settle some work on the computer.”Silvia told her daughter that she would be coming to stay in Detroit for a few days on their earlier call, and Autumn was very happy. However, Silvia did not bother her because it was already too late when
After she was done speaking, Ryan fell silent as he looked at her.She really devoted everything to him and his daughter but was always far less attentive toward herself. He did not even know that she would just make do when he and his daughter were not at home.Silvia received a phone call at this moment. It was a call from her client, saying that he had received a sample of a piece of clothing that was made a few days ago and there were a few changes that needed to be made, so he’d emailed the changes to her and reminded her to check her email.This was a foreign client, so they were conversing in Chinese Mandarin.However, Silvia had just started working and had lost her command of Chinese Mandarin for so many years. She could not speak fluently, but still tried her best to communicate with her client. Ryan looked at her earnestly and felt extremely sorry when he thought of the five years she had been out of touch with society. If it was not for him and their daughter, she m
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
