How could Ethan be a homewrecker? They had cut off all contacts during her marriage with Ryan, and he only reappeared in front of her after her divorce with Ryan. Besides, the two of them were not frequently in contact. How would that make him a homewrecker?Why did the media have to label him that?Ethan glanced at the phone and frowned. “You don't have to deal with this. I’ll find a way to handle this on my own.”“But how are you going to do that? If people think that Ryan and I are not divorced yet, your name will never be cleared.”Silvia persisted. Although Ethan was her suitor, she regarded him as a trustworthy friend of hers. He could be compared to Wendy, Jane, Miya, and the others. After looking through her cell phone for a while, she found a photo, which was a photo of her divorce certificate, then she handed her cell phone to Ethan. “You can ask your agent to post this photo.” This was the photo of the divorce certificate that Silvia took when they had just got
However, after calming down and thinking about it, he figured that he still needed to clarify the matter even if he was going to quit acting. Otherwise, he could be defamed for life. Being called a homewrecker was not a nice thing: moreover, he had done no such thing. This was why he chose to take Silvia’s suggestion. When Ethan returned Silvia’s cell phone to her, her cell phone rang—it was a call from Ryan.Silvia tightened her grip on the phone. She did not want to answer Ryan’s call at all, but she knew how stubborn he was, so she finally answered it.The matter between her and Ethan had been exposed by the media, so he must know about it too.After she answered the call, he immediately started interrogating her on the other end of the line. “Where are you now?”Silvia pursed her lips and remained silent. She did not know how she should answer his question. Should she tell him that she was at Ethan’s house now?Her silence caused Ryan to lower his voice on the other en
Ryan fell silent on the other end of the line. He knew that it was inappropriate for him to go over and pick her up now. The public relations department had already been receiving calls from various media outlets, wanting to ask what was going on with his marriage to Silvia. If he appeared at such a time, it would definitely add to the chaos. However, he could not calm down when he thought about the fact that she was with Ethan now, and that she was rumored to be having an affair with him. His other work cell phone rang. He glanced at the content of the text message and instantly became enraged. “Silvia, you’re really something else!”Silvia was baffled by his sudden yelling.“What did I do this time?”She was already frustrated, yet he was still yelling at her.“Heh.”Ryan clenched his teeth angrily and harrumphed coldly. “That’s a nice photo of the divorce certificate.”As soon as Silvia heard this, she knew that Ethan’s manager had posted the divorce certificate. He ac
She was being berated by the haters for being a shameless b*tch, for having an affair, and so on. Some of Ethan’s fans were also scolding her, saying that a divorced woman like her should steer clear of their idol.Silvia could not bear to read the news after taking a few glances. It was too harsh.While the internet society was becoming more and more developed, it had also created many so-called ‘keyboard warriors’ who hid behind the computer screen. No one knew who they were, so they would simply verbally abuse and attack something or someone that they didn't like. For example, Ethan and Silvia had a very pure and clean relationship, but they were being attacked online. Silvia sometimes felt that it was exhausting for celebrities like Ethan. They did not have any privacy and had very little free time; it must be very tiring. Meanwhile, after Ryan had ended his phone call with Silvia, he raised his hand and ripped the tie off his neck before throwing himself on the sofa.
Wendy sent a smiley emoji.‘Why is it impossible? The two of you are a perfect match!’Wendy, who was Ethan’s fan, was ecstatic when the scandal about Silvia and Ethan broke out.Wendy even hoped that Silvia would really be together with Ethan because of the media. Miya then quietly wrote: ‘Wendy, are you an idiot? It’s been over half a year. Don’t you know who Silvia’s heart truly belongs to?’Silvia became anxious and quickly defended herself: ‘Hey, Miya, don’t make things up. There’s nothing between Ryan and I. My heart belongs to myself!’Miya sent a snickering emoji as she replied: ‘Silvia, why are you so nervous? I didn’t say that your heart still belongs to Ryan, right?‘I just wanted to say that your heart has always belonged to me all these years.’After Miya sent that, she burst out laughing.Silvia was speechless.She had explained herself so quickly because she thought that Miya was implying that her heart still belonged to Ryan. However, after Miya said th
Silvia lamented: ‘Jane is right. The word ‘love’ carries an important meaning. If only one party likes the other and keeps giving without receiving, it won’t last long. The relationship between me and Ryan is an example of such failure.‘So, I won’t be together with Ethan just because of external pressure or other factors. I don’t want to hurt him either.’Since Silvia’s marriage to Ryan failed, she had become more and more rational toward Ethan’s one-sided pursuit of her. As the only person who wanted Silvia and Ethan to be together, Wendy was devastated. She said: ‘Caleb and I are in love with each other, so I don’t understand what you mean by one-sided love.”Jane spoke up again: ‘So, you’re the happiest woman in the world. The person you love loves you back.’Wendy snorted.‘Jane, you’ve obviously never been in love, so why do you see it more profoundly than those of us who have?’Jane sent a smiley emoji and replied: ‘I’ve seen so many love stories by observing the
Silvia planned to use an e-hailing app to get a cab to head to the restaurant where she had dinner yesterday to pick up her car first, then she would pick up her daughter before leaving Detroit.Ethan advised her kindly, “I’ll take you downstairs and watch you get in the car. The reporters are crazy; I’m afraid you will get hurt.”Ethan knew this group of reporters very well. He had always dealt with them. If Silvia went out in this situation, they would definitely swarm her. A slender woman like her definitely would not be able to stand up to them.Silvia thought for a moment and finally stopped at the entrance to wait for Ethan. She then called Ophelia and told her that she would pick her daughter up later. Ophelia simply hummed a reply without saying a word about the scandal between Silvia and Ethan.When the cab she had booked arrived, Silvia and Ethan went downstairs. As expected, the group of reporters rushed up.Ethan protected her, and the two walked toward the cab with
She intentionally drew a line with him time and time again, but he would always infiltrate her life in such a gentle and thoughtful manner.She was a little overwhelmed. He had never been so kind to her before. She did not know whether to accept or reject him. She did not know how sincere he was and whether their relationship could last if they got together again.If the next five years ended with another breakup, she felt that her life would be ruined.She was terrified.She was afraid of being hurt again because it had hurt enough the last time. She did not have the courage to go through that again.She only regained her senses when she heard a knock on her car door. When she turned her head, she saw him holding their daughter in his arms. Autumn was leaning against the car, calling out to her, “Mama…"The man holding their daughter was expressionless.Silvia calmed her emotions down, opened the door, and got out.As soon as Autumn saw her, she stretched out her hands and a
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
