If this was any ordinary time, this movement of his was very cool and flirty. But now, Silvia did not want to talk to him at all. She turned her head away and showed him the back of her head. He did not give up and continued knocking, making Silvia extremely annoyed. They still had to continue their journey, so she rolled down the car window and asked ferociously, “What?”He leaned against the car door and said with a smile, “I’ll buy you a drink. What flavor do you want?”“No, thank you. I’m not thirsty.”After saying that with a cold expression, Silvia planned to roll up the car window but was stopped by him. “The weather is so hot, so you should drink more water even if you’re not thirsty.”She replied without hesitation, “The weather is so hot, so don’t you think you should be wearing sunscreen?”Ryan was speechless.She was really eloquent, and he had no comeback for that at all.Silvia snorted coldly, then rolled up the car window and ignored him.After a while, the
Although she had shared a bed with Ryan for five years in the past, he seemed to have always lived in a world that was beyond her reach. He was like a distant dream, which was why she had always felt insecure and never felt loved. Ryan was now living in her life like a real person, which made her feel safe and secure. Ryan chatted briefly with the people at the food kiosk, then he bought a few more bottles of drinks before he walked toward the car. After he got into the car, Silvia spat with contempt, “You don’t even dare to apologize on your own? I can't believe you asked a child to apologize on your behalf.”Ryan laughed. “I was afraid that you’d ignore me if I apologized to you personally, okay?”Silvia snorted coldly.“You haven’t even apologized, so how do you know that I’d ignore you?”‘Am I that cruel in his eyes?’Ryan felt that it was hilarious when she behaved in this manner. After all, she was the one who was treating him coldly and ignoring him just now. Theref
“What do you mean, Ryan?! You’re just implying that Autumn is wilful because she’s like me!” Only a scheming person like him could say such a thing without actually saying it. He was saying that they both had a good temper, but their daughter was wilful. Wasn’t he insinuating that their daughter was just like her?!But as soon as she was done speaking, she was amused by his appearance at this moment before she could even get mad at him. Ryan was applying sunscreen at this moment. Sunscreen lotions were usually very thick; after applying it, one had to spread it out evenly and pat it in gently for the skin to absorb it. Nevertheless, how could a man like him know of such things? He simply squeezed the sunscreen and applied it on his exposed arms and legs. As a result, his arms and legs were covered in patches of white. Fortunately, he hadn’t applied it on his face yet, or she would have died of laughter. Ryan looked at Silvia, who was suddenly smiling despite her anger, and as
It was really beautiful, and it made her feel happy and relaxed. After seeing such a gorgeous sea view, Silvia soon forgot all about the fight with Ryan earlier.Not long after, Ryan finished talking to the man and walked over with him. The person looked at Silvia with a curious smile, which made Silvia very embarrassed.She asked Ryan in a low voice, “Is there something on my face, or is there something wrong with me? Why does he keep looking at me?”Ryan smiled and hugged her. “No, you’re overthinking it.”There were many water sports in Saipan, which were rich in variety and were all fun.Silvia was an active person, and she was also quite daring, so she instantly chose parasailing. She did it together with Ryan, and when they were dragged high into the sky before falling into the sea, Silvia kept screaming and cheering because she was really enjoying herself. What she did not know was that Ryan, who was behind her, was almost scared to death.Later, she chose the motorboat,
She was really scared. She was scared that he would never wake up again.This feeling was even more frightening than when he was stabbed by Mariah. He was at least awake at the time and was comforting her, so she knew what was going on.However, she did not know what was wrong with him now that he was suddenly unconscious. In addition, they were in an unfamiliar country now!Silvia became even sadder when she thought of this. She sat beside Ryan in a state of distress as she buried her face in her knees and started crying sadly. “Ryan, I love you. Please wake up!”Just when she was so sad that she was completely at a loss, someone embraced her, and the man’s affectionate words sounded above her head. “I love you too.”Shocked, Silvia pushed the person in front of her away, only to realize that Ryan had woken up at some point and was smiling as he looked at her.Silvia’s face was full of tears. “You…”Several people on the speedboat cheered and clapped their hands on the si
Ryan originally thought of letting things develop naturally between them in the next few days before he would ask her for an answer after they got back. However, when she said that, it stirred up the unwillingness in his heart.He was unwilling to wait like this, feeling like he would lose her every day. He did not have the patience to wait any longer, and he wanted to hear her say that she loved him.Sometimes, people are very contradictory. Just a while back, he convinced himself that he had already waited for her so long, so what difference would it make if he waited a little longer for her, but he could not wait any longer now.Perhaps love can really make a person indecisive, temperamental, and always worried about losing their loved one. Perhaps love can make a person completely unlike themself.This was why he created this scene where he would fall unconscious. He greeted the person in charge of the water sports in advance and asked them to help him make her reveal her tru
After the passionate lovemaking, the two rested in the room for a long time. Silvia did not know what Ryan did, but she simply fell asleep as she lay there.In the evening, the two had dinner, then Ryan took Silvia to the local bar as she wished. It was a vivid scene with people indulging in the luxurious nightlife. In fact, Silvia hadn’t been to a place like this for many years. She had gone to the bar a few times with Wendy, Ethan, Caleb, and the others when she was studying, but she never came to the bar again after she got married and had a child after graduation.Firstly, as Ryan’s wife, it was not suitable for her to come to such places. Secondly, she had no time to go there because she had a child, and lastly, she was not in the mood to go to bars.Silvia suddenly felt very uncomfortable in this place and wanted to leave immediately.However, she was the one who wanted to come to the bar, yet she wanted to leave after just two minutes. She felt that it was unreasonable for
Silvia squatted there and muttered to herself, “You big liar!“You tricked me into coming on this trip to see if we were really suitable for each other. You said that you’d let me go if we weren't, but you’ve been so accommodating since we came on this trip!”Although Silvia was drunk at the moment, her mind was exceptionally clear. She accused him in an orderly manner. “You’re deliberately treating me so well and going along with whatever I want to make me feel as if I can’t do without you. You’re making me fall deeper and deeper in love with you so that I won’t be able to say goodbye to you when we go back.”At this point, Silvia even slurred a little. Ryan was amused by her speech.She was right. Her analysis was right. This was exactly what he was aiming for.When he persuaded her to come on this trip in the beginning, he deliberately said that he would let her go if they were not suited for each other. This had caused her to let her guard down. He then did his best to treat
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
