She could very clearly remember every word her father said that day. He’d said, “If a man is not by his woman’s side while she is giving birth, was he still considered a man? This matter involves two lives!”At the time, she was explaining things on Ryan’s behalf, saying that he was busy with work. After all, their daughter was born two days earlier than her expected due date, so he did not manage to arrange leave from his work in time.Her father had then said that it was because Ryan was not concerned about her, or because he did not love her. If he cared about her, he would have arranged for leave half a month in advance before and after the due date. Thinking about it now, every word that her father had said was true. If he really cared about her, he would have come to her side to protect her despite all difficulties, just as he did when he stayed by Mariah’s side that night.He was very concerned about Mariah’s small illness because he cared about her, but he wouldn’t stay

Silvia was peaceful, but it was their daughter who looked at his face as he held her. She said angrily, “Daddy, are you unhappy because you had to bring me to Disney? Is it because I delayed your work?”Silvia, who was walking by the side, wanted to laugh.Before this, a certain someone had reminded her not to show such cold expressions so as not to make their daughter feel unhappy. Now, it was his turn to show such an expression on his face. Although she ignored him and refused to communicate with him, she did not show an angry expression and she was kind and soft-spoken when she spoke to her daughter. Although Ryan was still mad at a certain woman, his expression immediately eased a lot after his daughter questioned him.“I’m not unhappy, and you did not delay my work.”With that said, he changed the topic and pointed the topic directly at Silvia.“I’m mad at your mother, this has nothing to do with you.”Silvia was speechless.He had the nerve to say such words to his daugh

Ever since she filed for a divorce, this had been the state of affairs between Ryan and her. They would quarrel every time they met.Therefore, they should end this dysfunctional marital relationship as soon as possible for their daughter’s sake. Silvia knew that a normal family environment was very important for a child’s growth. However, how could an environment with both parents present, filled with endless quarrels, be better for her daughter’s growth?Since they were unhappy again this time, Silvia came out after changing her clothes. She and Ryan did not speak for a long time. The two tried their best to pretend that nothing was wrong in front of their daughter. Silvia spoke softly and had a pleasant expression when facing her daughter, but she and Ryan did not communicate with each other, whether verbally or through eye contact or physical communication such as holding hands, arms, hugging each other’s shoulders, and so on.Since it was already in the afternoon when they ch

The sound of the knocking on the door became more urgent and was accompanied by the sound of his voice. “Silvia! Open the door, I know you’re inside. Speak up!”Silvia chose to continue ignoring him. Why would she open the door? Would she open the door to let him into the room so he could bully her again?But he simply kept knocking when she did not respond, causing the guests in the other rooms to come out to protest. “Why are you knocking and disrupting other people’s sleep in the middle of the night?!”Silvia did not know how he would react after being yelled at. Besides, she was not the one who was getting yelled at.However, her relentlessness still caused her to break down. She got up, wrapped the bath towel around herself, and walked out. She did not open the door for him but simply stood at the door and hissed in despair, “Ryan, are you trying to force me to die?!”There was instant silence outside the door. There was then the sound of his gnashing of teeth after the d

It was just that the issue of giving her a brother or sister was not a pleasant topic at this time, especially after Ryan had treated her so forcefully last night.Ryan, who was standing by the side, was also obviously repulsed by this topic. He took the opportunity to change the subject. “Autumn is right, you should stay in the hotel and rest. I’ll take her out to play.”Silvia was not a delicate person. Although she was unwell, she could insist on going out with her daughter. She just did not want to spend time with Ryan after last night.She felt very thankful that her daughter was so considerate and sensible. It was one thing for her to be able to rest well, but the most important thing was that she could avoid Ryan because her daughter insisted on her staying in the hotel to rest. And so, she did not resist anymore and simply bent down and kissed her daughter.“I’m sorry…”The little girl returned her kiss. “It’s okay.”She then went over and held Ryan’s hand, smiling
