Although he did not have a good relationship with his father, he had a very good relationship with his grandfather. The grandson got along more harmoniously with his grandfather than he did his own father, so Ryan listened to what Harold said. When Ryan entered the ward, Greg was lying on the hospital bed with his eyes closed. He was surrounded by a few doctors in white coats who had grim expressions. Nora’s face turned pale. Ryan originally thought that Greg was in serious condition when he saw this scene, so he could not help but feel a little nervous. However, when he looked at Greg, he accidentally caught Greg looking toward the door expectantly through half-closed eyes.Ryan immediately understood what was happening and sneered disdainfully. He felt that Greg’s illness was nothing serious, but he was deliberately making it seem as if it was serious to try to trick Ophelia into coming to visit him.He originally wanted to step forward to expose him directly, but the moment he
“Didn’t the doctor just say it all?” Nora was speechless. The doctor said everything just now, but she did not understand anything at all.Ryan knew that Nora did not understand anything when he saw her expression.That’s right: with her intelligence, it would be amazing if she could understand what was going on. “This illness could be said to be difficult to treat, but at the same time, it can also be treated easily. Am I right, Doctor?”Ryan deliberately raised his voice at the end of his speech so that Greg, who was in the ward, could hear him. He also glanced sideways at the doctors who were smiling awkwardly. Ryan did not say anything else and headed off to deal with the hospitalization procedures. Nora then returned to the ward in a depressed manner. Greg, who was in the ward, had heard his son’s words outside. He knew that his son had seen through him. He was embarrassed and angry, but was also helpless to do anything.When he saw his daughter coming back, he slowl
He had a good grasp of his sister’s temperament. So many things had happened recently, so even he was feeling terribly troubled, much less Nora who had never suffered before. She could not bear it anymore, so she had to find someone to confide in. These matters, such as his divorce from Silvia and their parent’s divorce, were private matters that could not be shared with outsiders, so Silvia was the only person she could confide in.She has had a very good relationship with Silvia in the past few years and there was nothing that she could not say to Silvia. Sure enough, as soon as he took Nora’s cell phone to check, the person she was chatting with was Silvia. He could not log into Silvia’s account without the password because she had logged onto her account on another phone.After scrolling through their chat records quickly, Nora had sent Silvia a crying emoji. “Silvia, I feel so troubled. So many things have been happening at home recently and I can hardly bear it anymore. I
Ryan was left speechless because he was so annoyed by her eloquent words. He then saw that she had sent another voice message. He clicked on it and it was her angry words which were addressed to Nora. “Nora, if you can’t protect your cell phone well in the future, I’m sorry but I can only block you then.”It was not that Silvia did not miss her relationship with Nora, but rather because Ryan had already contacted her twice using Nora’s cell phone. She did not want to be disturbed anymore.She could not continue being friends with him after the divorce. She’d truly loved him, so they could never be friends after the divorce. They could only be strangers. As soon as Nora heard that Silvia was going to block her, she immediately became anxious. She rushed over and snatched her cell phone from Ryan’s hand, then hurriedly explained to Silvia, “I’m sorry, Silvia, don’t block me. I was helpless. When I was chatting with you just now, my brother suddenly came over and snatched my cell ph
The father and son confronted each other like that for a long time before Greg finally compromised and sighed. “Let’s talk.”Ryan sneered, raised his hand, and looked at his watch. “Sorry, I have a meeting to attend later so I’ll be leaving first.”He then turned around and left unceremoniously. Greg shouted angrily behind him, “Stop!”Ryan left anyway. Greg’s face was red with anger.Nora returned to the ward after seeing Ryan leave. Greg quickly suppressed his anger when he saw her come in.“Nora, I’m a little hungry now. I want to drink some chicken soup. Go back and ask your mother to cook some for me.”Nora was depressed. “Dad, you’re really good at giving me problems. Mom doesn’t even want to come and see you, so why would she cook soup for you?”Greg was a little embarrassed but he persisted, “Just tell her that I’m seriously ill!”Nora had no choice but to take his orders and go home.After leaving the hospital, Ryan hesitated a little after getting into the car. He
She felt that once her resume was submitted, it meant that her new life had officially started.She also needed to get a new sim card. She did not want to continue using her original one. Besides, her social circle in Detroit was very small, so she did not have any particularly important contacts on that sim card. For her, the only people she kept in touch with were her parents, Rosaline, and the others. She would get a new sim card and inform them privately when the time came.The rest of her contacts were Ryan’s relatives or some of his friends. Over the years, she had fully done all the things that a good wife should do and ensured that the family’s affairs were all in order so that he would not have any worries and could focus on managing the company.She also had the phone numbers of a few of his close friends such as Julian. However, there was no need for her to contact them; she only had their phone numbers because they would call her on her cell phone, usually when they need
Mrs. Alberich turned around and asked Silvia, “Why is he here?”Silvia shook her head. “I don’t know either.”She already made it very clear in Nora’s Whatsapp that she did not want her suitcase and cell phone. Who knew why he was here now?Mrs. Alberich asked again, “Do you want to see him?”Silvia refused without hesitation. “I don’t want to! Not only do I not want to see him now but I also don’t want to see him in the future unless it’s because of Autumn.”Why should two people who were divorced still meet?Mrs. Alberich understood her attitude, then turned to face Mr. Alberich. “You and your daughter should go back to your room first. I’ll get the door.”Mr. Alberich was still angry. He felt that he would not feel at ease if he did not beat Ryan up. However, his wife and daughter did not agree to him beating Ryan up, so he could only throw the mop aside and go into his room angrily. Silvia picked up the mop her father dropped and went back to her room.Mrs. Alberich the
But how could he contact her if he did not know her phone number? They still had a daughter together.However, he had forgotten that his daughter lived with her grandmother, Ophelia, most of the time because of his busy work schedule. Silvia could simply contact Ophelia directly if there was anything wrong with their daughter. This feeling that everything was out of his control made him feel very uncomfortable, but he could not express it clearly. He could only make an indirect proposal. “I already sent her cell phone back to her, so there’s no need for her to get a new sim card, right? Otherwise, it would be inconvenient for her friends in Detroit to contact her.”Mrs. Alberich smiled.“Silvia said that for her, there is no one worth contacting in Detroit anymore so it’s fine even if she doesn’t contact them.” Mrs. Alberich did not wait for Ryan to say anything else and simply continued, “I’m sorry but I’m still cooking rice in the pot. I have to go and check it out.”She then c
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
