Ophelia did not expect that her son, who had never been sensitive, would suddenly ask her this. She was taken aback for a moment, then she laughed and said, “I’m already at this age, so there’s not much happiness to speak of.”

“Dad has been waiting for you, just as you have always hoped that Silvia would give me a chance for us to be together again. Likewise, Dad is also waiting for you to give him a chance.”

This was the first time Ryan had spoken on Greg’s behalf in so many years.

If he and Silvia hadn’t gotten divorced and he had not lost Silvia, he would never have spoken up for Greg no matter what.

It was only because he had experienced it himself that he understood the pain of that loss.

Therefore, he could not bear the thought of his father suffering such pain for the rest of his life. So, he spoke up for him.

In the past, he had always stood firmly by his mother’s side and supported all of her decisions. He knew that she was going to divorce his father and that his mot

    She just felt that if they really wanted to get back together, it would be better for them to spend some time together before they got back together. After all, their current relationship was very different from that during their five years of marriage.In those five years, she had given her all blindly while Ryan sat in his throne and enjoyed her sacrifice.Would he be able to accept it if he had to sacrifice more now?Silvia drove her parents to the hospital. Greg and Ophelia also happened to be there. Ryan was originally pretending to be asleep in order to give his parents a chance to be alone.In fact, he could not hold on any longer, but fortunately, Silvia brought her parents to rescue him.The four adults exchanged pleasantries briefly. Mrs. Alberich then went up to express her gratitude to Ryan. After all, Ryan had saved their daughter, and as her mother, she had to thank him.Ryan only said, “It’s nothing. I’d be more heartbroken than you guys if she were hurt.”Mr. Alb

    Silvia was furious.‘He’s the one who attracted the nurse—who gave him the right to use me as a shield to block her off?’When Silvia got up and left his bedside, she saw that the nurse’s face was full of embarrassment and anger. After glaring at Silvia with a provocative look, she walked over to Ryan with the medicine tray. However, she did not restrain herself at all when facing Ryan and said to him with a smile, “Mr. Ryan, it’s time to change the dressing for your wound.”Silvia stood aside with her arms crossed in front of her chest. She rolled her eyes at Ryan with an expression full of contempt.‘Is this what he meant by not wanting her to have any ideas? Why doesn't it seem to be working at all?’She was very attentive and alluring while she faced him with a bright grin. She was even speaking to him in such a seductive voice that it made one’s body tingle.However, Silvia felt that the young girl was really bold. It seemed that all the medical staff in charge of Ryan’s w

    Hence, he could only use this approach and stop her from having any ideas. He had already suffered a lot, so he would not allow similar things to come between Silvia and him in the future. He would never allow even the slightest possibility. The nurse ran out with tears in her eyes before Silvia could turn around to look for the head nurse. Silvia glanced at the mess all over the floor, then looked at Ryan again and said, “I’ll get someone to clean up the mess.”Ryan did not say anything and simply stared at her, so Silvia had to hurry out.Silvia informed the head nurse to get another nurse for Ryan. The head nurse instantly understood what had happened just by listening to Silvia’s description, so she then assigned Ryan a nurse who was much older than him so that he would no longer feel distressed at being coveted and disturbed. The head nurse then asked someone to clean up the mess in the ward. After the older nurse changed the dressing for Ryan’s wound, everything finally c

    “Look me in the eyes and answer me again.”Silvia was speechless. ‘Why does he want to know so badly?’Ryan pressed on relentlessly. “Were you jealous?”Silvia was a little annoyed. “Ryan, who gave you such confidence?”How could he be so shameless and conclude that she was jealous?!When Ryan saw her slightly annoyed look, he suddenly laughed and said seriously, “You did.“I’m so confident now because you once loved me so unreservedly and let me know that I’m so perfect in your eyes,” he enunciated.Silvia felt that her face was slightly hot, and she could feel her chest trembling at the same time. Every woman loved listening to sweet nothings—she was no exception.But when did he become so eloquent? What he said tugged at her heartstrings.Although Silvia did not answer Ryan’s question regarding why she wanted to leave, her expression gave it all away. Ryan could see that she cared about him, and he was smart enough not to say anything about it.He just needed to know t

    Rowan even called Ryan to add fuel to the fire. He told Ryan that Mariah willingly got together with him back then only because he had told Mariah that he would be the only rightful heir to Pierce Group.Ryan was depressed all day that day. He had been blaming Greg and Silvia for many years as he thought they were the reason he had to break up with Mariah. He always thought that Mariah was forced by Greg to be with Rowan, but Rowan was now telling him that Mariah had done so willingly. Ryan still remembered vividly that when he was with Mariah, he had mentioned to her more than once that he did not want to take over Pierce Group in the future as that was not the kind of busy life that he wanted. He did not want to be bound in Pierce Group’s circle, and he wanted a career where he could start from scratch. He wanted to have a business that he worked hard to build on his own. The success and failure of his business would depend entirely on his ability and not his family’s power.

    Hence, she stopped forcing it. She originally did not want to say anything today anyway as she was afraid that he would not listen to her and would feel that she was meddling. However, she thought of how he had just been discharged from the hospital, so she did not hold back and spoke up.Ryan laughed in a self-deprecating manner. “It’s not an issue of making money. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to make money in the future if I don’t handle this matter well.”Silvia was puzzled. “What do you mean?”Ryan explained, “Someone is organizing a hostile takeover of Pierce Group. If the other party succeeds and becomes the largest shareholder of Pierce Group, I’ll have to step down then. I'll be unemployed, and I won’t even be able to make money even if you desperately want me to.”After hearing that, for some inexplicable reason, Silvia said, “So what? I can still make money after you step down, right?”She currently had a good job at Mr. Sage’s company, and she had a very good sal

    “Let go of me. Aren’t you in a hurry to get to the company?”She was already so embarrassed, but he was still focusing on the same topic. He seemed to be deliberately making things difficult for her. She shook his hand away, but Ryan tightened his grip. Suddenly, his low and deep voice sounded in the quiet car. “Thank you.”Ryan did not say much. A simple thank you was enough to express everything.He knew that she was a shy person, so he did not say anything else after saying that. It was enough for him to know her feelings clearly. Silvia drove Ryan to Pierce Group. When Ryan was about to get out of the car, Silvia suddenly realized that his things were still in her car, so she asked, “What about your things?”Ryan glanced at her and said, “I’ll leave them in your car first. I’ll get them from you at night.”Silvia was speechless.‘Does that mean he’s coming over to my place for a free dinner again?’When they were leaving the hospital, Ryan had already hinted to Silvia

    She used to be really nice in the past and would always say plenty of sweet nothings. She would always say things such as, ‘Honey, you’re so handsome”, “Honey, you’re so kind”, and “Honey, I love you” every day. He had to admit that he had really enjoyed all the sweet and endearing things she said all day long even though he had never expressed his feelings on the surface. However, he did not know how long it had been since he had heard her say anything nice, aside from when she said that she could make money to support the family earlier in the afternoon.After hearing Ryan’s ‘complaint’, Silvia glared at him and pretend as if she had not heard him. Ryan carried Autumn in his arms, and the father-and-daughter duo spent some time together for a while. Ryan then took out the gift that he had bought for the little girl. When he lied to the little girl and said that he was on a business trip in the past few days, he had promised to bring her a gift when he returned, so he had to ke

    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.
