He waited a little longer, but she still didn't come out, so he got up, took off his shirt and trousers, and headed for the bathroom.He did not believe that she would be completely uninterested and devoid of all desires after such a short period of time.Silvia was leisurely drying her underwear in the bathroom. She wasn't in a rush because she believed Ryan was inebriated and had dozed off.Silvia was startled when a knock abruptly came from outside the door. She quickly turned off the hairdryer and asked, “What’s wrong?”Ryan’s somewhat uneasy voice sounded outside the door, “I feel like throwing up.”“What?”Silvia quickly placed the hairdryer down but wasn't sure where to put her underwear. She was already anxious when he urged again, “I can’t hold it in anymore!”She quickly threw her underwear on the towel rack next to her and swiftly opened the door for him out of fear that he would immediately vomit on the floor. As soon as the door was opened, Ryan hurried in and squ
He stayed motionless for a while and remained silent before approaching her. He sat down on the chair next to her, looked at her back, and said lightly, “I know what you're thinking, but I just want you to know that I didn't mean to belittle or humiliate you.”Ryan was able to infer her thoughts. She must be thinking that he was humiliating her by doing this kind of thing to her, not that there was no longer any relationship between them anymore.He explained himself to her, “It’s not a heinous crime for me to do that to the woman I love, right?”Silvia's eyes were closed, but her eyelashes fluttered as he whispered the words “woman I love.”When did she become the woman that he loved?Hadn’t she always been the woman he detested?She had been lying there with her back to him, but Ryan could not hear or see her moving or speaking. He moved nearer and raised his hand to try to shift her body around so that she would be facing him because he knew she wasn't asleep.He had only jus
“Because in my opinion, you were just a young girl who had just graduated at the time. You haven’t experienced any setbacks, nor had you been polished by society. I mistakenly believed that your love for me was nothing more than blind adoration and fixation for me, commonly referred to as ‘three minutes of passion that won't last long.’ It was not the mature love and marriage that I wanted.”Having said that, he paused for a moment and then spoke again in a rather disgruntled voice, “Looking back on it now, my feeling at the time was correct. You just truly loved me for a brief period of time. You insisted on getting a divorce after the initial fervor and naiveté.”Silvia was indignant. When he explained why he initially rejected her, she was quite moved.This was the first time he had analyzed and shared his thoughts on their relationship with her like this. Before this, they had never explored this aspect even though they shared a bed for five years. Silvia acknowledged that wha
He said those things and looked at Silvia with a melancholy look in his eyes. Silvia turned off all the lights in the room just now because she did not want to see him. However, he felt like a complete stranger to him now that she was meeting his deep gaze under the dim lights from the corridor lamp. She felt entirely unaccustomed to Ryan's warm and caring nature because she hadn't encountered him acting this way before. Silvia was perplexed and felt conflicted since she never imagined experiencing tenderness from him in this life. After giving him a long look, she mumbled, "It's getting late, it's time to go to bed."She laid back down after wrapping the quilt around herself. “Unfortunately, we can never turn back time.”"I thoroughly analyzed our past, and I believe that our lack of communication and how well we got along before our marriage contributed to its demise."He said again. Silvia was on the verge of breaking down. He was really nagging her. She felt a little d
Silvia ignored him and continued brushing her teeth. He can do whatever he wanted, it had nothing to do with her!“Aren’t we going to invite the Browns over to join us for dinner at home tonight?”His voice sounded again, “I’ll come home at noon to accompany you to the supermarket to buy some ingredients.”As soon as he mentioned that, Silvia was so shocked that she almost swallowed a mouthful of mouthwash. She promptly spat it out in disgust and told him, "No need!"After all, going to the supermarket used to be his least favorite thing to do. He felt that there were too many people there, and the commotion irritated him. She used to act coquettishly and ask him to go places with her, but he only ever accompanied her to the supermarket once. And that time, he’d come out with a gloomy expression after just a few minutes to go to the car to smoke and wait for her. Therefore, she was shocked because he was offering to accompany her to the supermarket. She did not want him to acco
Silvia answered him nonchalantly. When did she get mad at him? He asked for it, didn’t he?In the end, the person outside the door chose to compromise.“Okay, let’s not talk about this for now. Let’s just go down for breakfast after you finish washing up.”Silvia did not want to talk to Ryan at all ever since he came out of the bathroom last night. She kept a cold face and did not communicate with him at all after she washed up and changed to go down to the restaurant for breakfast.She originally thought that they could maintain this state until they got home, thinking that he would change his clothes and head to the company so they could get their own work done, but they ran into the Browns, whom had also come down to have breakfast. Before Silvia could react, Ryan wrapped his arm around her, lowered his head, and whispered, “They know that we stayed here together last night. What will they think when they see you with this expression on your face now?”Silvia was furious and
Ryan glanced at Silvia, whom was feigning deafness, and said no more.Her eyes were clearly full of envy when she said that sentence just now, which showed that she also longed for the love described in that sentence. However, Ryan thought of another phrase: If you love someone, take them on a trip. If you’re still together after the trip, just get married. He felt that it was necessary for him to take her on a trip. …After breakfast, Ryan and Silvia returned to the villa at Scholaris Street. Silvia locked herself in the room as soon as they got home. The first thing she did was to turn on her computer to see if she received any emails from work. Work was her priority now. Ryan changed his clothes and lingered outside her door for a long time, but she did not come out, so he had no choice but to speak up, “I’m going to the company first…”There was no movement from the person inside, so he glanced at the closed door, then turned around and left.Ryan and Julian discussed t
He did not forget that this was her lunch, and she would have nothing to eat if he ate all the food. He withdrew his hand, got up, and went to the kitchen to serve himself a bowl of congee. The aroma of the congee filled the entire kitchen so he thought that it should already be almost done.He heard the sound of her bedroom door closing when he had just sat down and eaten a spoon of congee. Silvia had to deal with the emails as soon as she came back in the morning. As she was not seated in front of the computer all day, there was a pile of emails so she had been busy on and off throughout the entire morning.She thought that the Browns would be coming over tonight so she went to the florist downstairs at noon to buy two bunches of fresh flowers as decoration to make the house look livelier. She also bought some fresh celery and rice while shopping for the flowers. She prepared a simple lunch for herself and planned to head to the mall to buy groceries after having lunch. Whe
