After Mariah told him that his father, Greg, had forced her to be with Rowan, he had always felt a tinge of guilt toward Mariah; after all, Mariah’s current miserable fate was caused by his father.Before Ryan went to the place, Mariah had just gone crazy once, tearing up the piano score until it was scattered all over the piano room for no other reason other than because her nurse had come back from a trip to the hospital and had told Mariah that she saw Ryan and his family of three in the hospital.Mariah thought she had heard her wrongly at first. How could it be their family of three? He and Silvia were already divorced, right?As far as she knew, Silvia had already returned to her hometown to live in the city where her parents were and she was isolated from everything here in Detroit. However, after Mariah saw the photos that the nurse had secretly taken, she realized that it was really the three of them.He was carrying their daughter and Silvia was walking next to them.H
Mariah turned around and left after explaining this to the nurse.After Ryan answered the phone and went upstairs, the nurse came to meet him. He asked, “How is she doing these days?”The nurse answered him according to Mariah’s instructions. “She’s doing much better and she’s cooperating with treatment every day.”Ryan’s brows relaxed a little. The nurse went on to say, “Miss Mariah just finished playing the piano for a while and has gone back to the bedroom now.”When he heard that, Ryan grunted and went upstairs. He raised his hand and knocked on the door when he arrived in front of Mariah’s bedroom. After Mariah answered him from inside, it took a while before she opened the door for him but the scene that caught his eyes caused his expression to change in an instant. Mariah was wearing a black silk halter nightdress. The hem of the nightdress only reached her hips. She was not wearing lingerie, and her exquisite body could be seen at a glance. Mariah opened the door, wal
“I’m sorry, just now I—"“I’m the one who should say sorry.”Ryan quickly interrupted her. Mariah was a little puzzled , but he did not explain further and simply changed the topic. “The nurse said that you’ve been cooperating with the treatment in the past few days?”“Mm-hmm.”Mariah nodded, walked over, and sat down on the soft stool in front of the piano. “Didn’t you say that I should get well soon for my parents’ sake? I thought about it and reflected a lot after you hung up the phone that day. I had been blindly immersed in my own sadness, which only caused my loved ones to get hurt and make my enemies happy.”Mariah’s expression was very serious and firm.“My parents are getting old, and I’m their only child. If I continue going on like this, what will they do in the future? I should hurry up and get better, find a job, and work hard to earn money to support myself and my parents.”Mariah’s words caused Ryan’s slightly frowning brows to relax a little. “I’m glad you
Surprisingly, he did not have any physical reaction just now when Mariah was dressed like that in front of him. The first thing that came to his mind was the one time when Silvia also wore pajamas of almost the same style, which stimulated him, and he could only give up halfway through dealing with his emails to hug her and have sexual intercourse with her.This thought made him feel a little annoyed, especially when he thought of how she scolded him and called him disgusting when he kissed her today, which was why he’d deliberately allowed Mariah to approach him just to get that damn woman out of his mind. However, before Mariah could kiss him, he could not take it anymore and pushed her away. This was why he apologized to Mariah. So, he called Julian again and asked Julian to help him find another woman.He needed a woman desperately now to prove that he did not necessarily want that particular woman.Julian was surprised when he heard Ryan’s words. “What’s this about?”Rya
Ryan had dinner with Julian and was slightly tipsy after he drank a lot of wine. Julian had already booked a room for Ryan and prepared a so-called woman for Ryan. As soon as Ryan opened the door to the room, he was greeted with an array of women in front of him. There was a row of women dressed provocatively (basically almost naked) standing beside the bed. Some of them were standing and some were sitting. All of them had provocative postures as they looked at him seductively. Julian smiled and explained, “You said ‘anything,’ but I really don’t know your preferences. After all, you haven’t had a woman outside for so many years, so I had to find a few more ladies for you to choose from.”Ryan had a terribly ugly expression on his face and almost instantly sobered up. He even felt a bit of a headache coming up.Julian pointed at those women and said, “You can choose.”Ryan wanted to throw Julian out. When Julian saw that Ryan had been standing at the door without respondin
Silvia felt that it was incomprehensible. Both Wendy and Caleb were her friends and they had nothing to do with him. They were divorced so why was he still getting involved in their affairs? Why was he giving them a red envelope?Wendy also had a headache.“I don’t know. We didn’t want to accept the red envelope, but that person kept insisting on giving it to us. He said that he’s also acting under his boss’s orders so we should not make things difficult for him.”“He’s nuts!”Silvia cursed angrily. “We initially didn’t want to invite Ryan to the celebration for the baby’s monthsary but it wouldn’t be appropriate if we didn’t invite him after he gave us a red envelope. However, both you and Ethan will also be coming on that day.”Wendy was very worried. She was such a simple person but was overwhelmed because of a red envelope from Ryan. Silvia also had a headache. Her ex-husband and former suitor being in the same scene was indeed too embarrassing.Moreover, many of the pe
The new job was a big challenge for Silvia. After she reported to the factory personnel on Monday, Miss Cullen brought her to the trade department. The trade department was on the second floor of the factory office building. There were actually only four people in the department.Aside from Miss Cullen, Christina and herself, who were the newcomers, there was another man who looked about twenty-seven to twenty-eight years old. When he introduced himself, he told Silvia that she could call him Ashton. Miss Cullen faced two empty desks and told Silvia, “The reason why we asked you to come to work in such a hurry is because the two previous employees resigned and left.”Miss Cullen was helpless.“It can’t be helped. Many graduates from universities use factories like ours as a springboard to work for a year or two. After accumulating experience, they would then jump ship to trading companies in big cities. Of course, you can also do the same. It’s understandable that people will co
Honesty and integrity.The two most basic principles in life.The weather was gradually getting warmer and after going through the various departments in the workshop, Silvia was already sweating from the heat, but she was feeling enthusiastic and full of energy.After returning to the office, Miss Cullen told Silvia about her specific job scope. Now that she had just arrived, she did not have any clients of her own, so Miss Cullen would let Silvia maintain some of her clients temporarily. Silvia would gradually need to find her own clients after she became proficient at her job.Miss Cullen then returned to her desk and went about with her own business after giving Silvia a brief explanation, and Silvia started her first day of work with anxiety. Foreign trade was a very complex job, and the completion of an order started with an inquiry from the customers, making samples according to the customer’s requirements, modifying the sample a few times, confirming the final sample, p
