“What a coincidence. I’m heading to bed too.”He squinted his eyes and grinned before he added, “Let’s sleep together.”“Ryan, can you stop being so shameless? I haven’t agreed to reconcile and get together with you—”He had already pulled her head down and blocked her lips along with all of her protests before she could even finish her sentence. Ryan got up and carried Silvia into the bedroom. Silvia’s legs and waist were sore after an intense night with Ryan. Silvia no longer had the strength to fight with him. She rolled over, buried herself in the soft bed, and fell into a deep sleep. Fortunately, their flight was in the afternoon. They would definitely miss their flight if it was in the morning because Silvia slept for most of the morning. Everything that had happened last night replayed clearly in her mind. She did not want to do anything other than hide under the quilt, especially when the man next to her was also awake. In fact, Ryan had woken up a long time ago,
Ryan wished to continue, but he could only let go of her when he thought of their flight in the afternoon.“Get up. The takeout I ordered is almost here.”It was almost lunchtime. Silvia definitely would not be able to prepare lunch in this state, and Ryan was not that good of a cook to prepare lunch in haste, so he ordered takeout to fill their stomachs. The two went to Ophelia’s place before they left and told Ophelia that they were going on a trip. They asked Ophelia to help take care of their daughter. The little girl was still in kindergarten, so they did not go to the kindergarten to bother the little girl. They planned to let Ophelia break the news to her, and they would then make a video call with their daughter after they landed and sorted everything out. Silvia told her parents as well that she was going on a trip with Ryan. Her mother did not have any objections and simply told her to be careful.However, Mr. Alberich was very dissatisfied and protested, “Why are you
While she was resting in his arms restlessly, a pair of earphones were gently tucked into her ears, and a soothing melody sounded, followed by the deep and comforting voice of the singer.It was ‘Yesterday Once More’ by The Carpenters. It was a very old but timeless song. The singer’s voice was deep, pleasant, kind, and natural, which made her feel very comfortable after listening to it. Ryan was the one who tucked the earphones into Silvia’s ears. He could feel that she was not at peace, then he remembered that he had some songs saved on his cell phone. Although the songs were a little old, he would often listen to them when he was in a bad mood or was feeling restless. He believed that she would appreciate this. It was a slow, soothing song, so Ryan figured it would be to her liking. As expected, Silvia’s restlessness was muted by such melodious music, and she gradually fell asleep.When Silvia woke up again, she was woken up by Ryan as the broadcast announced that they c
It was too disappointing as there was a heavy downpour on the first day they arrived at their destination, and they could not go anywhere. Were they supposed to stay in the hotel the whole day? Ryan drew the curtains and went back to the bed. He lay on his side while facing her, then he stretched out a hand to hug her and rubbed her cheeks with his finger. He laughed softly as he said, “Don’t they say that there’ll be a rainbow after the storm? We’ll go and see the rainbow when the rain stops. The rain is so heavy, and the sky here is exceptionally blue, so there will definitely be a rainbow.”When he said this, Silvia felt her depressed feelings brought about by the rain dissipating quite a bit. What he said was indeed very reasonable. There would usually be a rainbow after the rain, so it would be a beautiful sight if they could see a rainbow later. After all, it was rare to see a rainbow in Crosavia. She was an adult, but she had only seen a rainbow a handful of times. Ryan a
The two of them leaned on the bed and finally made a video call to their daughter. Ryan embraced Silvia from behind, and his face was very close to hers as they tried to make their faces appear together on the video screen. The little girl said bitterly, “Hmph! Now that the two of you are on good terms, you don’t care about me anymore.”Silvia laughed. “That’s not true at all. You’re my favorite person in the world, Autumn.”Silvia was telling the truth. She might be more focused on her relationship with Ryan without a child. She felt as if she could never get enough of him at all.However, after having a child, all she could think about was her child. Her other half was no longer as enticing anymore in her eyes. Silvia’s words made the little girl smile happily, but the man behind her pressed on her waist in dissatisfaction. Silvia tilted her head to look at him.“What are you doing?”Ryan protested softly, “What do you mean, Autumn’s your favorite person in the world? What
Silvia looked at Ryan’s current appearance and could only sigh when she thought of how the little girl had never held any grudges against Ryan. Perhaps this was because blood was thicker than water. As it rained continuously, the two could only stay in the hotel.Anyway, there was nothing to do, so Silvia went back to sleep in the morning while Ryan went to the gym by himself. For lunch, the two had a seafood feast, which was a local specialty, at the restaurant in the hotel. Ryan proposed for them to go swimming in the hotel’s indoor swimming pool in the afternoon. Silvia thought that it was a good idea, so she rummaged through her suitcase and changed into a swimsuit. Silvia chose a black swimsuit with a very ordinary style. However, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Silvia felt that it was plain and it might not be interesting to any other man, but in Ryan’s eyes, her body was slender, fair, and incomparably attractive. Therefore, Ryan regretted his proposal and sai
“I’m glad everything’s fine.”In her mind, he could do anything, so winning this battle was a given.This seemingly heavy topic came to an end, and the two went about with their own business again.After some time, the sound of the crowd’s screams suddenly came from outside. The two looked out. It turned out that the heavy rain had finally stopped, and a dazzling rainbow slowly emerged in the blue sky in the distance.Everyone screamed and cheered because the rainbow was really beautiful.Silvia was pleasantly surprised. She stood up from her seat and pointed at the beautiful rainbow in the distance as she said to Ryan, “A rainbow! It’s a rainbow! Look at the rainbow!“I didn’t think that there would actually be a rainbow!”Silvia was so happy that she kept looking out on tiptoes.A trace of surprise flashed in Ryan’s eyes when he heard that there was a rainbow. This was then replaced with very deep emotions. Rainbow, rainbow.‘There is always a rainbow after the storm. Does
Everything was exactly perfect, not too little, not too much.The two barely spoke during dinner. The atmosphere was not suitable for talking at all, and it was best enjoyed in silence. The two opened a bottle of red wine and finished it. They walked hand in hand as they strolled back to the hotel. The handsome man and beautiful woman walking together created a beautiful sight.Silvia wore a long pink dress and a royal blue necklace with a pair of long earrings of the same color and style. She had a very tropical fashion style, and she looked like a timeless beauty paired with the stunning scenery.After returning to the hotel and washing up, Silvia lay on the bed and started chatting with Wendy and the others in the group chat. Wendy asked her: ‘Silvia, how’s the first day of your trip? Did Ryan bully you?’Silvia was amused when she saw Wendy’s words. She could imagine Wendy gloating, waiting to see Ryan make a fool of himself. Wendy was waiting for Silvia to get sick of Ry
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
