Ryan then ate another two pizza pockets before he felt full. It was often said that one would be lustful when one was full. After Ryan was full, those sentiments came out again unknowingly. This led him to gaze intensely at Silvia. She was still eating and suddenly felt goosebumps all over her body when he gazed at her that way. She frowned and said, “You should leave now that you’re done eating, right?”She really did not know he came back for no reason.Ryan laughed when he heard those words. He relaxed and leaned against the back of the chair as he replied, “I’m all yours this afternoon. I’ll accompany you to purchase the groceries and prepare dinner.”Silvia really despised his behavior. “Who needs you to accompany me? I don’t need your help to prepare dinner. I can handle it myself. You can go back to the company in the meantime.”Silvia did not want to be alone with him, even for a second. Who knew what kind of thing he would do when left to his own devices? She was already
“You’re the only one who can have those impure thoughts about me, not them. I can’t stop them from having those thoughts so I have to stay away from their sight.”Silvia was speechless.Why did she feel as if he was super invincible and yet childish at times?Besides, what did he mean when he said that she could have those impure thoughts about him?Well, she was indeed once one of those many women who coveted him.Silvia had no choice but to think of the dishes she was going to cook tonight as she ate, all because of Ryan’s stubbornness and persistence. After that, she listed down the items that she wanted to buy, and Ryan wrote them down.In the end, Silvia decided to cook eight dishes and one soup, all of which were her specialty dishes. She would also make pierogies, which was a traditional dish in Crosavia, to ensure that they would be eating the most authentic Crosavian food. Ryan held the sheet of paper with the list and stared at it with an extremely serious expression,
As a result, as soon as she had just squatted down, Ryan picked her up by the arm. She asked him in confusion, “What’s wrong?”Ryan used his eyes to gesture at her neckline and said with great dissatisfaction, “You’re exposing yourself.”He then pushed her to the side before squatting down to look for the condiment himself. Silvia was wearing an outfit that Sofia had recommended for her. It was a simple white loose T-shirt, matched with black pipe pants and flats. It felt very comfortable and carefree. Silvia liked this kind of style, so she wore these clothes when she went out.After Ryan’s reminder, she lowered her head and glanced at her clothes. Only then did she realize that the neckline was indeed a little too wide, so she would be exposing herself when she bent down. However, most summer clothes were like this; would any summer clothing have a collar? Wouldn’t one die of heat then?Ryan, who was looking for the condiment in Silvia’s place, was thinking about what kind of c
Sometimes, she would want to go to the supermarket to buy something and would ask him to accompany her, but that was not possible at all.Sometimes, she wondered if he really loved her. Otherwise, why didn’t he tolerate her in anything, why didn’t he indulge, pamper, cling on to her, and make some changes for her?If you loved someone, wouldn’t you be willing to change for that person? It was just like how she had changed so much for him, but he had never once compromised in front of her.But now, he was willingly accompanying that woman to come to the supermarket and patting her head in such a doting manner. He even thoughtfully helped her with the things that she could not reach. In addition, he was looking at that woman with so much affection in his eyes.What Mariah detested the most was the fact that Silvia was still so cold and indifferent toward Ryan when he had humbled himself so much before her, especially considering his arrogance. She even pushed his hand away in disgust
“Isn’t the vegetable shelf over there?”Ryan said calmly after grabbing her hand. Silvia was startled. So, he simply grabbed her to remind her that she was going in the wrong direction? So, it was not because he wanted her to stay and listen to him catching up with his old lover? She was indeed going in the wrong direction. They were planning to buy vegetables at the vegetable shelf in front but she turned around and walked away after they bumped into Mariah. She was walking back in the direction they just came from.When Silvia was still in a daze, Ryan held her hand and pushed the cart with his other hand, then led her away without even glancing at Mariah. Ryan did not expect to meet Mariah either. However, he felt that he had already expressed himself and said everything that he needed to say to Mariah very clearly. After learning that Mariah was behind the rumors that caused Silvia to be vilified, he kicked her out of the villa where she was supposed to recuperate as a warn
As a result, she was suspicious of his impassive expression and kept staring at him because she wanted to see right through him.Ryan urged, “What are you looking at? Hurry up and buy the groceries.”She ignored him and continued staring at him.“Since you covet my face so much, I’ll fulfill your wishes then.”He lowered his head and kissed her on the lips as he spoke.Silvia was taken aback. She covered her mouth and took a step back. Her face also reddened indisputably as she protested in exasperation, “What are you doing?”They were in a crowded supermarket now, but he actually kissed her like this! Didn’t he hate being stared at by people? Why was he still doing such a thing that attracted people to look at them then?!The lady who was picking vegetables next to them also secretly smiled and glanced at them.Silvia really did not want to live anymore. She was ashamed. “You kept staring at me so I thought you wanted me to kiss you. After all, you used to do things like thi
“What words?”After struggling for a while and realizing that she could not break free, Silvia huffed angrily as she spoke up, “I used to like you kissing and hugging me because I love you but now—well—"His lips fell on her lips before she could finish her sentence. He blocked her lips aggressively, blocking all the words that she was going to say.Ryan was a shrewd person. He knew what she was going to say after she said the first half of her sentence—she was going to say that she did not love him anymore so he had better stay away from her because she did not like him kissing or hugging her!How could he allow her to say those words? He simply took advantage of the situation to stop her and kiss her passionately in the process until her brain was deprived of oxygen so that she would forget what she was about to say.Silvia was indeed caught off guard by his kiss. When he finally let her go, she was blushing.“You—"Silvia wanted to scold him but as soon as she spoke up, the
Julian became upset."Why do I feel like instead of being your partner, I've somehow turned into a full-time driver?""I'll give you a bigger cut of the profits, so you can put in more effort."Ryan responded to Julian ecstatically. Julian snorted coldly, “Hey, so are you choosing to sacrifice your empire for the beauty now? I’m not short of money, okay?”“Then I’ll owe you a favor first.”It was only then that Julian only hung up the phone with satisfaction. After discussing the whole project with Mr. Brown, Julian sent them to the hotel dutifully. Ater they had changed and rested for a while, he then sent them to Ryan’s house.When Julian noticed that Autumn was also at home, he could not help but ask Ryan, “Why don’t I stay here and form a couple with Autumn?”“Get lost!”Ryan instantly cut him off. It was a sin to covet his daughter!Julian went downstairs out of boredom and suddenly felt empty, lonely, and cold after getting into the car.He leaned back against the sea
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
