She could very clearly remember every word her father said that day. He’d said, “If a man is not by his woman’s side while she is giving birth, was he still considered a man? This matter involves two lives!”

At the time, she was explaining things on Ryan’s behalf, saying that he was busy with work. After all, their daughter was born two days earlier than her expected due date, so he did not manage to arrange leave from his work in time.

Her father had then said that it was because Ryan was not concerned about her, or because he did not love her. If he cared about her, he would have arranged for leave half a month in advance before and after the due date.

Thinking about it now, every word that her father had said was true.

If he really cared about her, he would have come to her side to protect her despite all difficulties, just as he did when he stayed by Mariah’s side that night.

He was very concerned about Mariah’s small illness because he cared about her, but he wouldn’t stay

    “You have a child and parents. Don't you think it’s irresponsible for you to have such thoughts?”Silvia felt a little puzzled. What thoughts?She then thought carefully about what she just said. Was he talking about her thoughts of seeking death?She said that she would feel relieved if she fell to her death, but she’d only said that in response to what he said first. She did not like the idea of suicide. It was just like what he said; she has a child and her parents, so how could she be willing to part with them?However, she still angered him deliberately.“Why is it irresponsible? When the pain has accumulated to a certain level, I don’t want to care about anything else. I just want to be free.”After saying that, she was satisfied to see his face turn pale, which instantly put her in a good mood.She did not know why she felt relieved every time she saw him being mad at her.Before coming, Silvia had already foreseen that this trip would not be a pleasant one for Ryan and

    Silvia was peaceful, but it was their daughter who looked at his face as he held her. She said angrily, “Daddy, are you unhappy because you had to bring me to Disney? Is it because I delayed your work?”Silvia, who was walking by the side, wanted to laugh.Before this, a certain someone had reminded her not to show such cold expressions so as not to make their daughter feel unhappy. Now, it was his turn to show such an expression on his face. Although she ignored him and refused to communicate with him, she did not show an angry expression and she was kind and soft-spoken when she spoke to her daughter. Although Ryan was still mad at a certain woman, his expression immediately eased a lot after his daughter questioned him.“I’m not unhappy, and you did not delay my work.”With that said, he changed the topic and pointed the topic directly at Silvia.“I’m mad at your mother, this has nothing to do with you.”Silvia was speechless.He had the nerve to say such words to his daugh

    “Is something wrong?”He leaned against the bathroom door. “Did you drop something outside?”After a moment of fumbling and searching inside, there was instant silence. Ryan could imagine the expression on her face at this moment. Her face must be completely red.As for Silvia who was inside, her face was indeed completely red. When she rushed in with a pile of clothes in her arms just now, she did not notice that she’d dropped something. As soon as he reminded her of it, she rummaged through her clothes in a hurry and realized that her underwear was missing. Since he was asking her this question, this meant that he must have seen it. “You’re still not going to open the door?”His voice sounded again from outside. “Don’t you want to put it on?”Silvia was so embarrassed by his last sentence that she blushed and suddenly opened the bathroom door. She wished that she could simply pass out when she saw her underwear hanging from his fingertips.She snatched the underwear from

    Ever since she filed for a divorce, this had been the state of affairs between Ryan and her. They would quarrel every time they met.Therefore, they should end this dysfunctional marital relationship as soon as possible for their daughter’s sake. Silvia knew that a normal family environment was very important for a child’s growth. However, how could an environment with both parents present, filled with endless quarrels, be better for her daughter’s growth?Since they were unhappy again this time, Silvia came out after changing her clothes. She and Ryan did not speak for a long time. The two tried their best to pretend that nothing was wrong in front of their daughter. Silvia spoke softly and had a pleasant expression when facing her daughter, but she and Ryan did not communicate with each other, whether verbally or through eye contact or physical communication such as holding hands, arms, hugging each other’s shoulders, and so on.Since it was already in the afternoon when they ch

    How could Ryan let her leave at such a difficult moment? He got up, stopped her, and held her wrists with a little force as he pressed her down on the sofa forcefully without leaving a single gap between them.She was extremely repulsed as she pushed him and tried to remind him, “Ryan, we are getting a divorce now!”Her words did not have the slightest effect in making him retreat.“Since we are still married and not divorced yet, you’re still my wife and you have the obligation to do such things with me.”Silvia accused coldly, “I don’t consent! This is marital rape!”“Well, you can sue me then. If you can hire a lawyer.”Silvia trembled with anger. She struggled to escape, but she could not wriggle free at all. Everything that happened later was beyond her control.*Silvia’s eyes were red after the intercourse. She felt extremely humiliated.Her tears fell uncontrollably after Ryan got up and went to the bathroom.Silvia had no thought of seeking death at all before this

    The sound of the knocking on the door became more urgent and was accompanied by the sound of his voice. “Silvia! Open the door, I know you’re inside. Speak up!”Silvia chose to continue ignoring him. Why would she open the door? Would she open the door to let him into the room so he could bully her again?But he simply kept knocking when she did not respond, causing the guests in the other rooms to come out to protest. “Why are you knocking and disrupting other people’s sleep in the middle of the night?!”Silvia did not know how he would react after being yelled at. Besides, she was not the one who was getting yelled at.However, her relentlessness still caused her to break down. She got up, wrapped the bath towel around herself, and walked out. She did not open the door for him but simply stood at the door and hissed in despair, “Ryan, are you trying to force me to die?!”There was instant silence outside the door. There was then the sound of his gnashing of teeth after the d

    “Mommy, are you done packing? Let’s leave for Disneyland once you’re done packing.”Even if Silvia was not feeling well, she could not say any words of refusal when she was facing her daughter.She ran her hands through her daughter’s hair and whispered, “I will change my clothes and go down to eat breakfast. We’ll leave after that.”“Okay!” The little girl nodded happily. Silvia got up and went to the bathroom, completely ignoring Ryan who was standing next to her daughter the whole time.She could tell that he had something to say to her, but pretended not to notice it.Silvia felt a slight discomfort in her stomach when going to the bathroom and instinctively pressed her hand against it. However, Autumn noticed her actions and ran over to her immediately to stop her with a shriek.“Mom, is your stomach hurting because of your period pain again?”Silvia usually felt pain during her period; there were several times when the pain was so severe that she could not go to the kinder

    It was just that the issue of giving her a brother or sister was not a pleasant topic at this time, especially after Ryan had treated her so forcefully last night.Ryan, who was standing by the side, was also obviously repulsed by this topic. He took the opportunity to change the subject. “Autumn is right, you should stay in the hotel and rest. I’ll take her out to play.”Silvia was not a delicate person. Although she was unwell, she could insist on going out with her daughter. She just did not want to spend time with Ryan after last night.She felt very thankful that her daughter was so considerate and sensible. It was one thing for her to be able to rest well, but the most important thing was that she could avoid Ryan because her daughter insisted on her staying in the hotel to rest. And so, she did not resist anymore and simply bent down and kissed her daughter.“I’m sorry…”The little girl returned her kiss. “It’s okay.”She then went over and held Ryan’s hand, smiling

    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.
