Ryan glanced at Nora, who had goosebumps all over her body because of his mushy words. “My goodness! You’re so…”She then turned around and rushed into the kitchen as she shouted to Ophelia, who was preparing dinner, “Mom, Mom! Help!”Ophelia did not understand why her daughter was making such a fuss.“What’s wrong?”Nora rubbed the goosebumps all over her arms. “Ryan seemed to have become a completely different person after he went on a trip and came back. He even said that he intentionally pretended to run into Silvia because it’s ‘romantic’. Is this Ryan? Is this really my brother?”Nora’s expression was full of incredulity. After all, her brother had always been arrogant and aloof, especially when he faced Silvia. Nora witnessed what Silvia had been through in the past five years. Besides being cold to Silvia, Ryan was arrogant and withdrawn when facing others. Forget creating a romantic situation such as this—he would not even bother looking at those women who adore
Both of them had been through the ups and downs in relationships. However, when they worked together in the kitchen all of a sudden, they did not know what to say. The doorbell outside rang, and Silvia saw Ophelia’s action of chopping vegetables slowing down. Nora’s cheerful voice then sounded. “Dad, why are you here? Come on in.”It turned out that Greg had come over. Silvia glanced at Ophelia and saw a trace of helplessness flash across her face. Ophelia was really helpless. She knew that on an occasion such as today when Ryan and Silvia were finally reconciled, and her daughter and granddaughter were around, her children would definitely look for an excuse to call Greg here so that their family could have a reunion of sorts. However, a reunion was only something the children wanted; she did not want that at all.She put down the knife in her hand, washed her hands, and walked out. Greg happened to come in after taking off his shoes. He smiled somewhat uncomfortably whe
Silvia and Ryan went back to their respective workplace after coming back from their holiday. When Silvia went to report to Mr. Sage, he asked her with a smile, “When are you going to give me an invite to your wedding?” Ryan had personally called Mr. Sage to ask for a vacation for Silvia, so Mr. Sage naturally knew of the entanglement between the two. Silvia was a little embarrassed by Mr. Sage’s words. “Mr. Sage, don't make fun of me already. I haven’t thought so far ahead for the time being.”Even if she were to remarry Ryan, she definitely would not be holding a wedding banquet, much less make a big deal out of it. After all, she had gone through that once.Besides, Silvia and Ryan had just gotten back together, so she really hadn’t thought about getting remarried for the time being.In her opinion, she and Ryan were finally happy together, and those titles and status did not matter anymore. She was more willing to focus her energy on her work now.Silvia would be taking h
Puzzled, Silvia looked at it and inquired, “You want to buy a house?”Ryan nodded in response. “I want to buy a new house near your company so that it’s convenient for you to commute to work. You don’t have to continue living in someone else’s house anymore.“This is a great location. It’s very close to your company, and it’s not far from my company; it’s also convenient to get to Autumn’s kindergarten.”Silvia frowned when Ryan explained the reasons he chose this place.“Didn’t we agree that we won’t live together for the time being? Why are you in such a hurry to buy a house?”Although she was touched by the fact that he was buying a new house near her company for her sake, she still felt that it was not quite right. In fact, there was no need to be so anxious about these things. Besides, she was happy with the way they were getting along now. Didn’t they say that absence makes the heart grow fonder? They would cherish each other and feel extraordinarily satisfied now that the
Silvia struggled in embarrassment and annoyance.“I haven’t showered yet.”“Go, then.”Ryan had already taken a shower and made all the preparations when Silvia was tucking their daughter in. Silvia, who had been freed, hurriedly got up and went to the bathroom. Silvia felt her face turn inevitably hot when she thought about what was about to happen next when she was taking a bath.They had both been busy with their work since they came back from their vacation, and they returned to their respective residences at night. They had not been together, so there had not been any intimacy between them at all. It was a beautiful and passionate night. Silvia wished she could sleep in, but she had to take her daughter back home to visit her parents. Silvia continued lying there and refused to get up when the alarm clock rang in the morning.“Why don’t I send you back?”Ryan volunteered to be the driver. In fact, the most important thing was that he would have nothing to do by himself
The story between Ryan and her daughter was clearly still ongoing.After Mrs. Alberich glared at Mr. Alberich, he looked away to deny her words. “I didn’t say that I wanted them to break up.“What I mean is that she should just continue to date him if she still has feelings for him. We’ll see how long he can keep up the act!”Mr. Alberich’s tone was decisive. “He can put on an act for a year or so, but I bet he can’t do that for three to five years!”Mrs. Alberich was furious.“So, you want your daughter to date him for three to five years?”Mr. Alberich was unbothered. “Why not?“Anyway, our daughter has been married to him once. We don’t care about those titles and statuses, so we just need to test him properly until she feels that he is really worth committing, and they can get remarried then.”Mr. Alberich said what he had in mind, which almost gave Mrs. Alberich a heart attack.“What are you talking about?!”After saying this to Mr. Alberich angrily, she asked him
Silvia was helpless. Her parents had utterly different stances, so who should she listen to?“Don’t worry, Dad. He won’t agree even if I wanted to remarry him now,” Silvia smiled and reassured her father. As soon as Mr. Alberich heard this, he immediately thought that Ryan was being arrogant again, so he asked her coldly, “What do you mean? Does he not want to remarry you?”Silvia explained, “It’s not that he doesn’t want to; it’s just that he wants to get your approval before we remarry. He said that he wants me to marry him again with everyone’s blessings.”Mr. Alberich was stunned for a moment after hearing Silvia’s words. Mr. Alberich did not expect Ryan to say these words. These words showed that Ryan did not only respect Silvia, but also him as his father-in-law. It made Mr. Alberich feel a little pleased with Ryan.Silvia glanced at her father’s expression and knew that conveying Ryan’s words to her father had had some effect. So, she did not say anything more and got in
Ryan was really hurt. “We’ll be so old then if you test me for another three to five years!”After Ryan said that, he squinted at her and asked, “How did you answer him?”Silvia continued to hold back her laughter. “You know that I’ve always listened to my father…"“Hey!”Ryan was about to get a stroke. ‘Does she mean that she’s going to listen to her father and really test me for three to five years?’He turned around and circled around the small kitchen before he stood in front of her again and announced, “No way! I’ll give you another year at most to test me, and you must remarry me within a year!”Ryan gave her an ultimatum. He could not accept dating her for so long.He wanted her to truly become his, and he wanted to give her the status of Mrs. Pierce. He did not want her to be just his girlfriend. When Silvia saw that he took this seriously, she burst out laughing. Seeing that he was annoyed and was about to come over to settle the score with her, she took the initiat
