Fortunately, she received their love and patience so she was not too embarrassed in this marriage. When Silvia arrived at the ground floor of Nora’s place, the little girl was already waiting for her downstairs. She was wearing a pink puffy dress and white shoes, and she looked like a delicate little princess. Silvia automatically ignored the man standing next to her daughter and she simply walked directly to her daughter.The little girl was taken aback when she saw Silvia approaching because she had cut her hair short and changed her hairstyle. She then jumped over happily, hugged Silvia, and complimented her without hesitation, “Mommy, your hair is so beautiful.”Silvia was very happy to hear that. She picked her daughter up in her arms with a smile and asked, “Really?”“Yes, it’s beautiful. It’s really beautiful.”The little girl nodded vigorously. Silvia had always had long hair all these years, so the little girl had never seen her look like this before. She scratched her
Silvia bit her lip and hesitated. She knew that the little girl was instructed by someone to say this, but she still could not bear to refuse.In addition, the little girl was hugging her neck as she continued acting coquettishly. “Mama, is that okay? Is that okay?!”Silvia had no choice but to agree.“Okay.”Anyway, it was just a meal together so she would just treat it as if it was her last meal with him.In fact, Silvia was quite confused. Ryan did not love her and they were divorced, he should want to stay away from her and draw a clear line with her. So, why waste time to use their daughter as an excuse to spend time with her?After thinking about it, she then thought that it was maybe because he was too controlling. She said that she did not want him to pick them up so he wanted to pick them up. She could not resist or refuse. The mother and daughter got into Ryan’s car. Both of them sat in the back, and their daughter was in the safety car seat. The little girl focus
“I want to cut my hair! I don’t like long hair! I want a short haircut like Mama’s!”“Autumn!”Ryan was furious and yelled because of the little girl’s outburst. The little girl was not to be outdone, however; she crossed her arms in front of her chest, snorted coldly, and turned her head to the side. The father and daughter duo were in a stalemate just like that. Silvia pursed her lips without saying a word and looked out the car window from the sidelines. This was a problem between him and his daughter, so of course he had to solve it himself. She would take the initiative to help him in the past because she felt sorry for him, and she would try her best to maintain his image in front of their daughter because she did not want his relationship with his daughter to be very stiff. But she wouldn’t do so anymore. They were divorced now, and she would not feel sorry for him anymore. Ryan glanced at the mother and daughter in the back seat from the rearview mirror. One had tur
At the end of the meal, the little girl invited Silvia again with great anticipation, “Mama, can you have dinner with me again tomorrow night?”In fact, what the little girl wanted was to see Silvia again tomorrow night so she could go and get her hair cut. Silvia took a napkin and wiped the cause off the corner of the little girl’s mouth as she answered her in a gentle voice, “Mama is going to Aunt Miya’s place tomorrow, so I can’t have dinner with you.”After Silvia said that, Ryan, who was sitting opposite her, spoke up before their daughter could say anything. “What are you going to do there?”Silvia pretended not to hear his question and continued talking to her daughter. “You have to be good and listen to your grandmother when you live with her in the future. Mama will come and see you every week.”Ryan could not stay calm anymore. Judging from what she said, it seemed that she did not intend to stay in Detroit anymore?So, he put the knife and fork down, and asked coldl
This was because she would confront him tit for tat as soon as he spoke, and the two of them would quarrel. He did not want to quarrel with her but it seemed that every word he said was wrong in her eyes now. After several quarrels in a row, he felt embarrassed to talk to her now.He did not understand why their relationship ended up like this when she used to obey him.The car stopped at the ground floor of Rosaline’s apartment. Silvia simply thanked him and hurriedly opened the door to get out of the car, leaving Ryan with a view of her cold and slender back. Ryan did not know what he was feeling, but he only knew that his chest felt extremely uncomfortable. He stepped on the accelerator hard, and the black car disappeared into the night.Meanwhile, Silvia returned to Rosaline’s apartment. Rosaline had also just returned from the night shift and was cooking noodles for herself. Silvia ended up having a bowl of noodles as she did not eat much for dinner at all. She didn’t know
Silvia could not help but yell but those people were indifferent. She clenched her teeth. “I’ll call the police if you don’t get out of my way!”As Silvia spoke, she took out her cell phone to call the police but someone snatched her cell phone from behind her. She turned around angrily and saw Ryan standing there with a relaxed expression as he played with her cell phone in his hand.“Come on, don’t do all those useless things.”“It’s not as if you don’t know how powerful I am in Detroit. No one will care even if you call the police.”Silvia was trembling with anger.“Ryan Pierce, what do you want?!” “We are already divorced so we have nothing to do with each other anymore. Who are you to interfere with my personal freedom?!”“What do I want?”The corners of Ryan’s mouth curled into a smile and he looked at her exasperated look with a smug expression.“I don’t want anything; all I’m doing is for my daughter’s sake.”“You must appear in front of my daughter immediately whe
Ryan drove with a gloomy expression on the way back to the city from the airport. The scene where she had been angry and rude to him just now kept replaying itself in his mind, over and over again. She had been obedient and quiet as she stayed by his side in the past few years. He had never seen her so angry before. He had always deliberately hurt her and neglected her, even at the beginning of their marriage but she never once lost her temper. She was also known to be a good person in school in the past. Of course, she was the one who boasted and told him all this. He could also imagine how her bright and cheerful personality was pleasing to people. But he just forced a person who never knew what anger was, to hit him and curse at him.He thought of the tears in her eyes when she turned to leave and suddenly wondered if he had really gone too far. Her cell phone, which was placed on the passenger seat, suddenly rang. He glanced at it and saw that it was a call from Miya. Ry
“That should be it. Didn’t she say the other day that she had long accepted the divorce and given up on Ryan Pierce? She won’t do anything stupid.”Ryan glanced at Miya’s words as he was waiting for the traffic light, and his face turned gloomy once more.Wendy then added, “I got it! Could it be that she’s with Ethan now, so it’s inconvenient for her to answer our phone calls?”Miya and Jane sent a question mark in reply at the same time. Wendy quickly explained, “Caleb told me that after Ethan heard that she got divorced, he didn’t even bother to shoot commercials anymore. Could it be that Ethan rushed back to find her?”Ryan frowned. Ethan?The name sounded familiar, but he could not remember who it was. When Wendy mentioned something about shooting commercials, Ryan gradually had an impression in his mind.Ethan was a very popular celebrity now. He vaguely remembered that when she was pestering him, there seemed to be a person named Ethan who was pursuing her. After they g
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
