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
He didn't press her to continue talking since she didn't want to. Anyway, he had already expressed his thoughts, and he was aware that she had always felt deeply conflicted when it came to their daughter. After experiencing so much, he had nothing to be anxious about anymore; he simply had to be their guardian angel and look after them. The three of them had a pleasant dinner together. Silvia’s cooking skill was as good as ever, so Ryan ate several bowls of rice. After dinner, Silvia did the dishes in the kitchen while Ryan accompanied their daughter outside. When Silvia was not around, Ryan took the opportunity to call Julian to ask if he should come up with an excuse to stay overnight at Silvia’s place.Lately, Ryan rarely spoke to Julian about his emotional matters. First of all, he felt that he was already experienced and knowledgeable in this area, and secondly, it was because Julian had been in a rather bad mood recently. Ryan was afraid that Julian would give him the wron
