‘No, no way! How can Silvia reconcile with Ryan so easily?‘Silvia, listen to me: You must not be so soft-hearted. You have to test him properly. Anyway, you’re not the anxious one now—he is! You should lead him on for a year or so before getting back together with him!’Wendy had always felt that Silvia should treat Ryan coldly and indifferently as how he had treated her all those years. She should kill Ryan’s arrogance thoroughly. Silvia should only agree to get back with him when he had lost his aloofness and truly appreciated Silvia. Silvia laughed and replied to Wendy: ‘Lead him on for a year or so? I was thinking about three to five years.’Wendy sent a thumbs up emoji.‘Wow! Impressive! I support you, Silvia! You should drag this on for three to five years until he’s an old man. Let’s see if he can continue being so arrogant then!’Miya rolled her eyes.‘Please. Mr. Ryan will be forty years old in another three to five years. What about his second child with Silvia the
Ethan explained, “I’m in Staten Hill now. I just received a new script, and the character is an executive of a foreign company. I want to learn about Jane’s work as a foreign company executive so I can portray the character better.”“You can’t reach Jane on her cell phone?”Silvia was a little puzzled. No wonder Jane did not show up when they were chatting in the group chat just now.“Give me a second. I’ll contact Miya and Wendy to see if they know anything.”Ethan said that he would wait for her news. Silvia called Jane after hanging up the phone, but no one answered the call. She then contacted Miya and Wendy, but neither one of them knew why Jane suddenly could not be contacted at all.The three of them were worried. Silvia remembered that she had Jane’s business card, so she gave the phone number of Jane’s company to Ethan and asked him to contact the receptionist of Jane’s company to ask what had happened. Ethan complied. Silvia returned to the ward after she was done wi
“You’re awake.“Do you want some water?”Before Ryan could answer her, Silvia’s cell phone rang again. Silvia picked up her cell phone and saw that it was a call from Ethan.She was seated right in front of Ryan’s hospital bed, so Ryan could naturally see the name on the caller ID. Ryan was suddenly furious as he stared angrily at Silvia. He was already in this state now, so if she dared to answer Ethan’s call right in front of him, he would see that as her picking a fight. He vowed that he would never forgive her if she answered Ethan’s call!Silvia naturally noticed the expression on Ryan’s face. She was in a difficult spot now because Ethan had told her that Jane could not be contacted just now. Silvia figured that Ethan must be calling to tell her about Jane. She knew that Ryan did not like Ethan, and she did not want to make the former angry at this time, yet she was also worried about Jane’s safety, so she hesitated as to whether she should answer the call.Before she coul
Ryan’s expression turned dark again. Silvia tried to explain to him that Ethan was calling her because of Jane, but he had already pulled the quilt to cover himself with a gloomy expression and was ignoring her. Silvia could not bother about him anymore. She picked up her cell phone, turned around, and walked out.Ryan was about to die of anger. He lifted the quilt that was covering his head and stared out the ward angrily. ‘How dare she care so much about a phone call from Ethan? Does she really have to answer his call?’Silvia spoke to Ethan on the phone outside the ward. Ethan, who was on the other end of the line, said that he had called Jane’s company and had been told that Jane was on sick leave today. When Ethan heard that, he asked the people from her company for her home address and drove over to visit her. After all, they were friends who had known each other for a few years in university even though Silvia was always the reason he spent time with them. It turned out
“I’ve already sent Autumn to Nora’s. I didn’t tell her about Ryan’s injury. You’ve been here all afternoon, so you should go back and rest. I’ll take care of things here first.”Silvia felt that there was more and more tension between her and Ryan as well, and it was not suitable for her to continue to stay any longer, so she took her things and looked at Ryan. “I’m going home, then. Rest well.”Ryan ignored her, so she had no choice but to bid farewell to Ophelia and leave. After she had left, Ophelia observed the look of reluctance in her son’s eyes. “You obviously don’t want her to leave, and you obviously need her very much, so why were you so cold to her?”Ryan looked away after his mother pointed out this fact. “I don’t want her to stay and take care of me just because she’s grateful that I saved her.”Ophelia instantly understood the reason her son had been acting so weirdly since he had woken up. After some thinking, she said to her son, “But you have to know that eve
Although her son did not respond to what she said, Ophelia felt that he had listened to a lot of what she said, so she did not say anything more. Ryan ate some food that Ophelia had specially prepared for him. Silvia drove to Nora’s place after she had left the hospital. Her daughter, Autumn, was having a great time playing with Nora. The aunt and niece seemed to be having a good time. Silvia felt that she envied the carefree Nora.When Nora saw Silvia coming, she got up from the sofa, tidied up her hair that was messy from playing with her niece, and said, “Silvia, you haven’t eaten dinner yet, have you? My mother left some food for you. Wash your hands and eat.”After Ophelia had picked up her granddaughter, she sent her directly to Nora’s place and made dinner there. Nora was dissatisfied and protested, “Mom, why don’t you send Autumn to Dad’s place? I already made plans to have dinner with my friend tonight. He’s Autumn’s grandfather, so isn’t it right for him to help you t
“Who could it be so late at night? My mother has her own key,” Nora muttered as she went to open the door while Silvia continued eating.Silvia heard that there was no sound outside after Nora opened the door, so she got up to check. Unexpectedly, the person standing outside the door was Julian.When Nora saw her coming out, she bowed to Julian immediately and greeted respectfully, “Hello, Boss.”She then looked at Silvia.“Silvia, my boss is here. Could he be looking for you?”After Nora was done speaking, she rushed back into the house in a hurry, but she did not realize that the man behind her was already gnashing his teeth in anger. Silvia knew that Nora worked in Julian’s company, but she was also surprised to see him appearing here at night. However, after seeing Nora’s business-like appearance, she could only walk over and ask Julian, “Are you here for me?”Julian grinned gleefully and said, “Yes. I heard that you’re here, so I came over to check on you. Did what happene
Ophelia was startled for a moment because Greg had gone out for quite some time after visiting. It had been an hour at least. Ophelia did not expect him to still be waiting here. When Greg saw Ophelia coming out, he walked over and said, “It’s late. Let me send you back.”Ophelia smiled in an estranged manner.“That’s a kind offer, but I don’t think that’s necessary. I’m an old lady, so there won’t be any safety issues.”After saying that, she turned around and left. Greg followed her and said, “Who says you're old? I don’t think you’re old at all.”After hearing this, Ophelia smiled and shook her head. It was really inappropriate for them to say such mushy words at such an old age.She ignored Greg and walked quietly toward the elevator while carrying her purse. Greg followed silently beside her. Ophelia did not speak because she did not want to talk to him, and also because she had nothing to say to him.Meanwhile, Greg did not speak because he insisted on sending her back.
