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
I hope it will not bother you again.I don't want to make you sad againI have loved you silently and hopelessly.I have suffered from both shyness and the torment of jealousy.I have once loved you so sincerely and so tenderly.May God bless you, and may another love you as much as I did.Ryan Pierce, let this poem be the end of our relationship. After Mrs. Alberich returned to the house, Mr. Alberich rushed out immediately and glanced at Silvia’s cell phone and suitcase. He then said angrily, “He still dares to come to deliver the items here? Would he need to deliver the suitcase here if he hadn’t shamelessly stopped Silvia at the airport?!”He then snorted again, “I would have gone out to beat him up if you didn’t stop me just now!”Silvia’s mother glared at him in displeasure. “What’s the use of beating him up now? They are already divorced, so what right do you have to beat him up? Why didn’t you beat him up a few years ago?”Mr. Alberich was speechless because of Mrs
“You won’t be able to solve anything by using force, okay?” In order to make her sullen father happy, Silvia hooked her finger toward her father and said mysteriously, “Come, let me teach you a trick.”Mr. Alberich was very interested in her trick. Silvia then said, “...If you see him again next time, just ignore him. Even if he greets you or talks to you, just reply indifferently, ‘Oh, who are you?’ and see how he reacts then!”Mr. Alberich still felt unhappy after hearing this.Silvia was speechless.“Cold war! This kind of tactic is called cold war. Think about it: don’t you feel very uncomfortable and have a very hard time eating and sleeping when you quarrel with my mother and she ignores you?”Mr. Alberich snorted angrily. “You brat! Are these two situations comparable?”“Why not? Think about it, you will feel uncomfortable when you’re being ignored, right? It stands to reason that other people must also feel bad when they are ignored, especially an arrogant person like h
Pierce Group was eliminated directly from that project because of Greg’s scandal. Pierce Group suffered heavy losses as a result, and Greg was forced to step down from his position as chairman. Ryan had originally planned to go abroad to study with Mariah, but had no choice but to temporarily take over the helm of Pierce Group from Greg and let Mariah go abroad first. He originally thought that he would be able to resign and go abroad to look for Mariah after Pierce Group passed this crisis, but Mariah then told him that she had fallen in love with someone else. Greg then forced him to continue taking charge of the company and it was accompanied by a series of accidents. This led to the situation today. Now, a few years later, the same tactic was being used on him again. There was no need for speculation or for Ryan to deliberately get someone to investigate this in order to find out who was behind this—Who else could it be aside from his older half-brother, Rowan?Ryan’s lips
Ryan finally spoke up this time. His tone was resolute.“Of course I won’t give up!”He then added, “Let’s hang up first. I’ll think of a countermeasure.”Ryan had to admit that Julian’s proposal was the best solution to deal with this matter, but why was he so reluctant to do so?He did not want his divorce with Silvia to be disclosed like this. As long as this matter was not made public and no one knew about it, it felt like they weren’t divorced.It was a typical deception.Ryan felt that he had been thinking about many absurd things recently, like sympathizing with Greg and even playing along with him to pretend he was ill. He was even imagining that he and Silvia weren’t divorce.Wasn’t this absurd?Ophelia was preparing lunch when Nora returned to her apartment with her father’s request to have chicken soup. Nora approached her with a smile and said in a flattering manner, “Mom, I want to drink chicken soup for lunch today.”It was really embarrassing for Nora to be caug
“Mom, don’t be mad at Dad anymore since he’s sick.”The reason why Nora had always had an unsteady stance on her parents’ divorce and sometimes sided with her father while siding with her mother a different time was because they both loved her very much.She did not have as many opinions about her father as her elder brother Ryan did. Therefore, Ryan stood firmly on his mother’s side and supported all of her mother’s decisions. Nora had always had a deeper bond with her father, who had always doted on her and loved her very much. She also knew what her father did when he was young, but didn’t her father also say that he had fallen in love with his mother a long time ago and only had her in his heart now? Nora felt that her father was sincerely trying to keep her mother by his side and she could not help but sympathize with him now that he was ill.However, Nora sometimes thought that it was inevitable for her mother to be disheartened after being treated like this by her father. I
Mariah’s major was in piano while his major was in economics and management, but he could actually play the piano well. When he was young, his mother made him learn how to play the piano on the grounds that it would cultivate his temperament. In fact, Ryan had never liked it, but he simply learned it just to make his mother happy. If Mariah did not suddenly play the piano today, he would have almost forgotten that he could also play the piano. Ever since he took over Pierce Group (which was in a mess at the time) and since he got married, his life had been nothing but work. The poetic feelings that once existed had also disappeared. He always thought that life was boring because he was living with the wrong person, but everything in front of him now was obviously what he liked. It was the person he liked and the piano music that he liked, so why did his heart feel so dead when he looked at it now? His mood was neither joyful nor bright, and even the beating of his pulse was cal
“How come you’re free today?”Mariah was pleasantly surprised by his sudden arrival because she had always been taking the initiative to call him to come over, saying that she was feeling unwell before he would come over.Ryan came back to his senses and suddenly a little chagrin. Why was he suddenly recalling his past with Silvia and he actually remembered it so clearly?!When he came back to his senses, his eyes fell on Mariah’s fair wrist. There was a hideous scar on it, which she said was left behind because she tried committing suicide after Rowan tormented her to the point of despair. When Mariah saw Ryan staring at the wound on her wrist so intensely, she was a little alarmed and hurriedly put her hand behind her back.“Don’t look! Don’t look!”The private nurse behind her saw that she was agitated and hurried over to support her. “Calm down, Miss Sommers!”Ryan frowned and looked at the private nurse with a sharp look in his eyes. “What happened? Didn’t the attendin
