The sun at noon was just nice, and their daughter was taking a nap in the bedroom. The two of them were drinking wine on the wicker chairs on the balcony as they basked in the sun. The warm sunlight shone through the huge floor-to-ceiling window on the balcony, making them feel warm and comfortable when the sunlight hit their body. After taking a sip of wine, Silvia spoke up thanks to her slight drunkenness. “I have something to discuss with you.”“What’s up?”Ryan turned to look at her. Silvia mustered up the courage to say, “It’s like this—Mr. Sage is starting a branch company in Ellrone, which is a famous foreign trade metropolis in Crosavia. There are many clients and excellent factories there. Mr. Sage said…" Ryan narrowed his eyes dangerously when Silvia said this. Ryan could guess what she was about to say, and he was about to lose his temper. Sure enough, she then said, “Mr. Sage said that he wanted to send me over there temporarily to help him manage the branch compa
Moreover, Greg had also called him in the morning, and he had indirectly said that Rowan would not last long in this state before he gave up on Pierce Group. Ryan would get Pierce Group back when the time came. In other words, after all this trouble, all of them were just using reality to teach the stubborn Rowan a lesson. They wanted him to know that what he originally had and what Greg had given him was already the best. Now, she was proposing to go on a one-year business assignment, and he was about to return to Pierce Group, so how could he stay in Winsterdam with her every day? They would inevitably face the situation of separation when the time came. How could he rest assured when a young and beautiful woman like her was alone in Winsterdam? To put it bluntly, this was all that he cared about. He was worried that she would meet a better man there, that she would have better choices, and that she would not come back if he let her go completely. The two of them were sil
“Did Mr. Ryan agree to it?”Mr. Sage had made this arrangement because he wanted to train Silvia. She was one of the employees who was more outstanding in all aspects among the staff in his company, so Mr. Sage wanted to take this opportunity to hone her skills.Mr. Sage naturally took Ryan’s feelings into account, so he agreed to let Silvia go back and discuss this matter with Ryan first. If Silvia decided to not go to Winsterdam, Mr. Sage would not force her. After all, he would not do things that would destroy other people’s families. Therefore, Mr. Sage was deliberately asking about Ryan’s opinion again now that Silvia was telling him that she had decided to go to Winsterdam. “He agreed. What opinion would he have?” Silvia replied to Mr. Sage as she suppressed her anger. It was no longer a question of her discussing with Ryan whether she should go or not; she felt that she had to go because of Ryan’s attitude. Mr. Sage naturally did not say more after Silvia said that. He
Silvia could only say, “Didn’t your uncle come to look for your father that day? Uncle’s company encountered some problems, and he needed your father’s help.”Fortunately, Rowan had come to see Ryan that day, so the little girl saw him as well. Otherwise, Silvia wouldn’t know how to explain that Ryan had actually run away from home.However, although Silvia was calm on the surface, she was worried about him. After all, she was still concerned about his safety. After putting her daughter to bed at night, Silvia called Nora and asked her if Ryan had returned to Old Pierce Manor or if he had gone to Ophelia’s place. Nora asked in confusion on the other end of the line, “Why don’t you call my brother yourself? Did you two have a fight?” Silvia sighed. “He ran away.”Nora almost laughed out loud on the other end of the line. “Ran away? Haha! My goodness, that’s so childish!”Silvia was helpless. “It’s indeed childish, yet it’s the truth.”She did not expect Ryan to make suc
Silvia was both angry and amused at Ryan’s behavior where he went to her house to complain about her. She was angry at his petty actions, but she also felt amused at his childishness. She calmed her emotions down when she was driving back home. No one would want to quarrel, and no one would want to make each other unhappy. After all, no one would be in the mood to do anything else after a quarrel. Wasn’t it said that all would be good as long as a family was living in harmony?After returning home, the smell of cigarette smoke in the house made Silvia frown. The culprit was sitting on the sofa in the living room, taking one puff after another. “Ryan Pierce, don’t you care about your health at all?”She instinctively walked over and snatched the cigarette from his hand before she put it out directly in the ashtray in front of him. She then opened the window to allow for air ventilation. After doing this, she turned around to see him peering through the smoke at her with thoughtf
He did not allow her to go when she wanted to go at first, but now that he had decided to let her go, she did not want to go anymore. After she had calmed down in his arms, Ryan took her cell phone and ordered, “Call Mr. Sage and tell him that you want to take this morning off.”Silvia looked at him with red eyes. “Why am I taking the morning off?” Ryan looked at her, raised his hand, and pinched her cheek.“We’ll remarry and get our marriage certificate.”Silvia was upset. She pointed to her eyes and said to him, “But look at how swollen and unsightly my eyes look now. Didn’t I say that I won’t be going to Winsterdam anymore? There’s no rush for us to remarry.”“So you don't want to remarry me if you’re not going to Winsterdam?”Ryan looked unhappy. Silvia hurriedly denied it.“I don’t mean that, I just…"She just felt that she looked really bad now. Her eyes were swollen and red because she had just cried, so she would definitely look ugly in the photo.Ryan had already
Silvia did not expect that Ryan would not only make an appointment with herself, but also with Greg, Ophelia, Nora, Julian, and even Rowan, as well as Wendy, Caleb, Rosaline, William, and Mr. Sage. Ryan even brought her parents over, saying that they got remarried today, so he wanted them to witness it together, which could also be said to be a celebration.This was because Silvia had once told him that if they get remarried, she did not want to make a fuss and invite many guests; she simply wanted to notify their closest relatives and friends. Unexpectedly, he had gathered everyone together. After getting off work in the evening, Silvia went directly to the private room of the restaurant he had booked. When Silvia entered the private room, she was stunned when she saw a large table full of people. She thought that she would be having a meal alone with Ryan.Their daughter, Autumn, came to her in a beautiful dress. She was holding a large bouquet of delicate roses as she said wit
He would never have given this kind of blessing to Ryan if this had happened in the past. However, he knew that by coming today, this meant that he was slowly letting go of all the many grudges that he had against Ryan for so many years, but he did not know if Ryan felt the same way toward him.He then thought that Ryan would not have helped him to ensure that Pierce Group could make it through the difficult ordeal it was facing if Ryan had not let go of his grudges against him.Silvia came to Mr. Sage’s seat with Ryan, then Mr. Sage wished them happiness sincerely. Silvia felt grateful that Mr. Sage appreciated her talent, so she drank a glass of wine with Mr. Sage, who then said, “I met Silvia by accident, but I didn’t expect to find a diamond in the rough.”Mr. Sage gave such a high evaluation as he recalled his acquaintance with Silvia. He happened to pass by Silvia’s factory booth back then, and he was attracted by her professional attitude and her gentle and meticulous tempe
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
