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
“Why do you want to see me? Can’t you say it over the phone?” “It’s very important so it has to be said in person,” he insisted. “I’ll meet you at the west gate of your school in twenty minutes.”“Okay, fine.”She agreed reluctantly. Julian inexplicably felt a burst of fire in his heart. What was going on? She was the one who provoked him first when she stated her desire to fall in love with him. In the end, she vanished completely. Was he someone that would come and go as she waved?Whether she wanted to or not, she would have to start a relationship with him!…After twenty minutes, Nora emerged through Detroit University's west gate wearing a white dress. As she walked, she took close note of her surroundings. To be honest, she genuinely did not want to come out and meet Julian when he asked her out on the phone just now.He genuinely frightened her when he displayed such hostile behavior the last time.That was her first kiss. He snatched it away from her just like tha
Nora wanted to cry, but was unable to do so. He was getting up in age; could he not have such a sharp memory?It was indeed the graduation season now. How could she have forgotten this? The dissertation defense was almost over and these days, their class was also discussing the matter of taking graduation photos. Why would she continue to attend classes beyond June when she was about to join the society?Besides, this man, Julian, was really too dangerous. He exposed her lie with just a few words, in such a calm manner, but it was not the kind of flagrant and shameless exposure, so even though it was impossible for her to continue with her lie, she did not feel too embarrassed.She finally understood why he was such good friends with Ryan. They were both equally dark and cunning! He simply gave off the impression that he was a good person since he constantly had a smile on his face.What sort of a man did she rile up?She was unbeatable, though, so she soon thought of another excu
“It’s okay, you can bring it up later if you’re uncomfortable.”Nora attempted to speak again, but was prevented from doing so as he held her hand and continued walking forward.“Let’s go, didn’t you say that you want to go to the library to return a book? I’ll go with you.”Nora was utterly terrified. He was going to hold her hand to accompany her to go to the library to return a book?His personality and looks caught too many people's attention. She would undoubtedly become well-known on campus if they continued to behave in this manner. Moreover, she was afraid that they would appear on the front page of Detroit because of his identity and status. She wanted her family to remain in the dark about this. Her brother would definitely break her legs if he found out. She simply wanted to be in a relationship, and it was a relationship that would not work out at all so she did not want to make a scene. As a result, she stood motionless for a moment before laughing and said, "I...
